Space savers and simple ideas

Some easy tips that I got from an email forward. I think I also saw some of these on Pinterest.  These were my favorite of the bunch. Ingenious little tips that solve everyday problems. Comes just in time as I have quite a few family and friends have just purchased new homes. Get organized in your new place!

Storage
Overhaul your linen closet – store bed linen sets inside one of their own pillowcases and there will be no more hunting through piles for a match

Re-use a wet-wipes container to store plastic bags

Love this idea! Use wire to make a space to store gift wrap rolls against the ceiling, rather than cluttering up the floor (and throw a rubber-band on each end of the roll to keep it from unraveling)

Forever losing your bathroom essentials? Use magnetic strips to store bobby pins, tweezers, clippers, etc behind a medicine cabinet door

Great packing tip: Store shoes inside shower caps to stop dirty soles from getting on your clothes

Bread tags make the perfect-sized cord labels

Install a tension rod to hang your spray bottles. Brilliant!

Great way to recycle! Use egg cartons to separate and store your Christmas decorations

 
Food Tricks
Keep cut apples from browning in your child’s lunch box or work snack by securing with a rubber band.

Hull strawberries easily using a straw

Freeze Aloe Vera in ice-cube trays for soothing sunburn relief

 

 

Make an instant cupcake carrier by cutting crosses into a box lid

 

 

Microwave your own popcorn in a plain brown paper bag. Much healthier and cheaper than the packet stuff

My favorite beach tip
Add this item to your beach bag. Baby powder gets sand off your skin easily. I first heard about this years ago as it is what beach volley ball players have used for years.
