Jewelry Displays

When I'm a more together person, I want to display my jewelry just like this. Not now... not ready for that yet. But soon.

Shoe Storage

This is maybe the most beautiful way that a lady's shoes can be displayed. Just lovely. 

Earrings Holder

Good way to store your earrings, yet still look pretty and not cluttered. 

Laundry Idea

Home idea: Hang damp button-down shirts from a towel rack mounted under a laundry-room shelf to save space. 

Maybe this doesn't seem that great/smart, but it is. And IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! Especially if you hate hanging things on clotheslines. (Why would you hate such a normal thing as a clothesline? Oh, I don't know. Maybe because clothespins are a nuisance and hangers are more dignified?)

Necklace Display

When I decide I'm gonna live somewhere longer than six months, I'm definitely doing this (though I really should just try this now since it's a gorgeous idea). Having all your necklaces proudly displayed like this? For the world to see? Get outta here. My room's gonna look like Anthropologie or some shit (and I say that in a positive way)! Gotta do it.

Tip of the Day - Silence Cabinets

An easy way to silence cabinet doors (or any kind of doors, really) that slam? Slice a cork into thin disks and superglue it onto the inside corners of the frame. And voila, peacefulness!

Tip of the Day - Easy Deviled Eggs

Once the eggs are hard boiled, put the cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal it up, mash them up until they're all broken up. Then add the remainder of your ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing roughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. For an easy clean up, just throw bag away when done.

Read about that tip here. Just a devilishly good idea. (I know, I know. Boooooo!)

Steve Carell - How To Swat A Fly

Just saw this video where Chris O'Dowd eats a fly or something - but that's not even the good part. Steve Carell has a genius idea of swatting a fly. Just watch the first thirty seconds.  

Skittles Vodka Tutorial

This is the easiest thing in the world to make. Especially for a party. I made it for the first time last summer when I helped throw a wedding shower for my brother and now sister-in-law, and it was tasty as hell and people loved it. You can read the tutorial here. 

Hair Tip of the Day

Never comb or brush your wet hair. Seriously, don't do it. It breaks the hair follicles and makes your hair fall out way quicker than it normally would. What should you do instead? Brush your dirty hair BEFORE you get into the shower and then once it's clean, just use your finger tips to get out tangles. Obviously this is easier to do if you use conditioner (side tip: only condition the hair that isn't on your scalp, 'cause if you condition your scalp it'll get greasier way quicker - only the ends need conditioning). 

How do I know these things? Experience, son! My hair used to fall out like mad. For years. I only got a handle on this a few years back, and after trying these things there's no going back.  

Also, if you have roommates, don't forget to clean out any hair in the drain after your shower. Blows my mind that people still don't adhere to this human courtesy. (I am in no way talking about my own roommates, they're wonderful. I'm talking to you other cretins who aren't doing this.)
