Foliage Plant. Curly Leaves. Only one in a shipment of 200
Comments (8)Hello there, I recently received this plant as a gift for my bday. However, none of my friends who do gardening knows what this plant is called and how to care for it. Just like you I get a lot of compliments for it. I am not into gardening but would love to be able to keep this plant alive as it is unique. Would you be so kind to give me some instructions on how to care for it? All I do right now is water it everyday with a little bit of water. It sits by the window in our dining room. Would really appreciate any tip you can pass on to me :) Thanks in advance!...See MoreRecommend for curly, wavy hair...
Comments (9)Have you all read the book Curly Girl? I have coarse, wavy hair that tends to be frizzy as heck. The book had tips on getting hair to curl rather than wave that worked really well. I also like the Deva line of products, though they're a ridiculous price. They don't build up in the hair....See MoreLets share tips and tricks for toddlers
Comments (30)Here's a trick I used on my stepdaughter, who would *not* drink a cup of milk - a few sips and she was done. I secretly put a drop or two of red food coloring in the bottom of a glass. I then held it so my hand wrapped around the bottom so she couldn't see the coloring. I asked her if she wanted some "magic milk". I ceremoniously took the carton of milk and poured it into the glass - as it filled the milk turned pink. You should have seen her eyes!!! She drank the whole thing. I varied the colors so it was always a surprise, but she liked pink and purple the best. Funny thing was the next time I talked to her mom, she asked me what the heck magic milk was. My stepdaughter is now 13, but we still have magic milk. We take turns creating the colors....See MoreLittle kitchen tricks
Comments (96)arkansas_girl, I don't recall exactly where I got the slide out cutting board/shelf but I'm sure it was one of the discount stores. Probably Kmart considering the time frame in which I got it. But wait a second, unless I ordered it from somewhere??? No I think I bought it in a store. I looked for some a year or two ago for a gift but didn't see them. I don't even know what you'd actually call it either. I'll try to take a picture of it, maybe someone else would know the "technical" name. And yes mustangs, I have a jarpop. I bought it at the grocery store for about $3 as I recall. I gave some as gifts after trying it out. It hangs on the frig along with my other gadgets like the strap wrench, putty knife, instant read thermometer and what not. Steamed TV dinners, huh? Hmmm. No, I think I'll have to pass! Back to tricks... Freezer bags make great ice packs. Fill with water, remove most air, freeze flat and as they melt they keep things from getting wet. A block of ice lasts quite a while too. I use them at summertime picnics and don't care if they get lost or damaged. An envelope or pouch set up by the door where you bring in mail (for me, it's the kitchen) is a great spot to stuff things you'll need for income taxes. As soon as it comes in, put it in the envelope and you know where everything is come tax prep time. I bought a fabric one that looks a little nicer than a plain envelope. Now I just have to put it up! I have a steel back door (firewall requirement by code for attached garage) so a magnet clip is perfect for holding outgoing letters and other things I need to remember. I put a little shelf on there to put gloves, hold some change, car keys, extra garage door opener (that I use when I'm blowing snow or mowing grass, or blowing grass and mowing snow...)...See Moretinam61
