I use a hand-held hair trimmer and a dry shaver every week. They’re two of my must-have beauty tools that you’ll always find in my beauty bag. One thing that has always bugged me about them is when they get jammed up with tiny hairs…you …
Krud Kutter is my go-to product for cleaning all outdoor things. I use it to clean the siding on our house, pool and patio furniture, the deck, fencing, garden and lawn tools, and so much more! It’s the best bio-degradeable product that I’ve found that …
Earbuds and AirPods need cleaned on a regular basis to keep them functioning well and from spreading germs. I’m a daily user, so I like to clean mine every 7-10 days. If you use your’s less frequently, you could get away with cleaning them once every 2 weeks. If you drop them or lay them down in a “germy” or “dirty” place you should clean them right away.

When it comes to regular cleaning you should use a dampened, clean cloth. I like to use a small microfiber cloth that I ONLY use for cleaning my Earbuds and AirPods. For a deeper cleaning…dip the microfiber cloth in water that has a few drops of a mild liquid dish soap in it. When I say drops…I mean just a drop or two. Wring out the cloth and then wipe them down. This will often remove stubborn earwax, dirt, and oils. Take a clean microfiber cloth to dry them.
If you don’t want to go with the homemade cleaning suggestion above you can purchase an Earbuds and AirPods Cleaning Kit from Amazon and other retail stores. They come with soft brushes and other tools that are specifically made for this task. Each cleaning kit is different, so always read through the included instructions before using it. This is a great option for those who need to clean them while on-the-go or traveling.
When you’re not using your Earbuds or AirPods it’s important that you store them in a clean Storage Case. Don’t just toss them in your briefcase, gym bag, backpack, handbag, car console or all over your desk. Part of keeping them germ-free is properly storing them when they’re not in use.

Millions of Americans get around with the help of a walking cane but how many of them clean it regularly? Sadly, not many. It’s important to clean them regularly to keep them germ-free. But how do you do it? Well, I’m going to tell you…it’s …
I love candles and enjoy using them throughout my home. I have some that are in pretty glass jars while others are in ceramic containers. After you’re done burning the candle you can easily remove the remaining wax and upcycle the jar/container to be used …
I love gardening and that includes growing a lot of plants inside and outside of my home. A lot of our plants are planted directly into the ground while others are grown in planters and containers. I love planters that are made out of all kinds of different materials…especially pottery like the one that I’m showing in my photograph.

Ceramic pottery can be difficult to clean, especially if you buy it on the secondary market. I purchased this gorgeous Pottery Barn piece at a local flea markert and it was dirty and I mean DIRTY. Even with all of that dirt, I knew it had potential and snapped it up for $2.00. Pottery Barn pieces can be pricey so for 2 bucks it was a steal of a deal. Now to get it clean!
First thing I did was place a rubber mat into the bottom of my kitchen sink to prevent chipping the planter while washing it. I filled up the sink with warm soapy water (I use Dawn Liquid Dish Soap because it’s the best at removing dirt, grime, and grease). I used a soft sponge and that got off about 1/2 of the dirt and grime that was on the inside and outside of the planter.
It needed more cleaning to bring it totally back to life so I got out a new Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I wet it with just water and wiped it across the entire planter. Guess what, it took all of the remaining dirt and grime off with ease! No hard scrubbing and no scratches on the design. NONE, no damage whatsoever. Shoot, I should of started with the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser first and saved myself a lot of time!
Rinse with clean running water. I placed a towel on my counter top and turned the planter upside down to air dry for 1 hour and then flipped it right-side up for an additional hour of drying time. Then took a clean microfiber cloth and buffed it nice and shiny. Doesn’t it look beautiful nice and clean? I wish I would of taken a photo of the BEFORE because it’s 100% cleaner AFTER.

I’ve been home canning for the past 35+ years. Over the decades I’ve accumulated hundreds of glass mason canning jars. During the canning season I’ll use at least 500 jars preserving a wide variety of food. When the jars aren’t in use it’s important to …
Decorating your outdoor spaces with small garden flags is a great way to add color and style to that outdoor space. With that said…they can get dirty and muddy over time. I like to clean mine twice a year to keep them looking nice. You …
