Freezer Safe Plastic Zip-ups

Freezer safe plastic zip-ups can be initially pricier than the basic variety, but they freeze food better and are made of better quality. You can also re-use them several times with thorough washings. Just don't reuse the ziplocks that have stored poultry or meat.

Transform Your Lipstick into Lip Gloss

Transform your lipstick into a lip gloss by melting your lipstick and a little Vaseline into a tiny jar. Mix it together and enjoy.

Storing Frozen Produce More Efficiently

You can transfer corn or peas into plastic water bottles before storing them in the freezer. They take up less space than the frozen bags they come packed in, an ideal solution for freezer storage efficiency. It's also a great way to re-use your bottles.

Uses for Stale Bread

Don't throw out stale bread. There are plenty of ways to use them. Depending on the stage of staleness, toasting the bread can reduce the stale flavor. French toast actually works best with stale bread. You can also make your own Croutons and dried breadcrumbs for a chicken recipe. They also work well in creamy soups such as tomato or chowder. Just cubed them and let it soak up the liquids.

Recyle an Old Bookcase
