To supercharge your laundry detergent:

Just add ¼ to ½ cup of baking soda. Not only will you use less
detergent, your clothes will smell and look better because the baking
soda eliminates soap residue.

Do-it-yourself instant spot remover:

Combine 1 cup of water (any kind but tap) with 1 cup of rubbing
alcohol and 2 teaspoons of dish detergent. Spray on and launder as
soon as possible.

Water your plants while you are away from home:

Take an empty plastic bottle (small one for a small plant, bigger for
a big plant). Fill it with water, put the cap on and [bleep] a small
hole in the neck with a pin. Bury it neck-first in the soil -- just
deep enough to stay upright with the pinhole in the soil. Your plants
will slowly take just as much water as they need.

Cut flowers that last longer:

Use 7-UP®. It lowers the acidity of the water, and the sugar provides
an energy boost.

If you are a human pincushion for mosquitoes:

Try the "apple cider vinegar" fix. Drink 2 teaspoons of it in water
before I go out anywhere. (Plus, apple cider vinegar is a good health
tonic).

There's a reason commercial pesticides kill weeds... They're poisonous
to you, your family, your pets and the environment, And they aren't
cheap either. Mix your own:

Combine 2 quarts of white vinegar, a teaspoon of liquid soap, and ½
cup of orange oil (from any garden store). Then spray it on and weeds
are gone.

Signal that tells guests it's time to leave without their realizing it:

Put your fingers together, palms down, on the table in front of you as
if to stand up. But don't, because that simple gesture alone will
subconsciously signal your reluctant guests that they really must be
going...

And just remember - mosquitos have 47 teeth.

Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with
your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to
frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less
sugar/calories per serving.
