toss anything past its expiration date and while you are in there give the ice box a good wipe out check out 24 other good ideas for organizing at goodhousekeeping com posted by lizzy the tip spot at 5 05 pm no comments labels organizing tips monday january 12 2009 lizzy s favorite kitchen tip every other friday night is pancake night at our house the other friday s are pizza night to make the eating process a bit easier for the small hands at our house i make the pancakes dippin size no cutting for me no sticky forks for the kids my folks called these silver dollar pancakes i call them awesome to make your pancakes a bit healthier add 1 cup of sweet potato puree you can make your own puree or buy it canned we call these pumpkin pancakes at our house posted by lizzy the tip spot at 1 02 pm 3 comments labels zip tip friday january 9 2009 reader favorites it seems that all our comments from readers suggest a good face lotion whether it s oil of olay or clinique or another brand it is important to find one that works for you a tip i learned while ago regarding lotions if it stings going on there is a good chance that you are sensitive to the spf ingredients try switching to a lower spf it might make a difference also nothing beats putting healthy things in our bodies to help it glow on the outside drink plenty of water and avoid processed foods as much as possible to help lower the amount of excess sodium which leads to the puffiness factor thanks for all the comments posted by christy the tip spot at 12 27 pm no comments thursday january 8 2009 kindergarten box once my daughter began bringing home art projects journals and class work galore all equally adored by her i knew i needed to find a way to tackle the kindergarten keepsakes i located a photo box i had stashed away sharpied on her name school year and teacher s name and started her first memory box now when turkeys pumpkin poems and hand print art comes home it gets hung on the project wall for a bit then afton and i choose a few special pieces to keep in her box posted by lizzy the tip spot at 2 42 pm 2 comments labels organizing tips wednesday january 7 2009 lizzy s favorite beauty products apparently i m not a brand loyalist when it comes to beauty products my favorite beauty products tend to change here are a few things that are staples in my bathroom cabinet rubbing alcohol i actually use rubbing alcohol in lieu of deodorant it kills the germs that cause the stink without ruining clothes or adding another layer of perfumey smell i ve been using this technique for 5 months and people still want to stand close to me neutrogena face bar i ve used this bar to wash my face for over 10 years it takes the make up off and is gentle bonus my husband uses it too i love that one 3 00 bar lasts me 6 months bath and body works body cream i love love love the richness of this lotion that also smells delicious my hubby gave me a gift card to pick some new scents out and right now these are on sale for 6 so i think i ll go stock up for the year one more trendy eyeshadow no brand preference for me on this item i just love getting new eyeshadow a couple times a year in up to date colors santa brought me a nice black silver white palette that i m loving posted by lizzy the tip spot at 7 22 am 1 comment tuesday january 6 2009 tippin tuesday vicks com the tip today comes from our uncle fred and is very handy with the colds rampant in my house and across the country during a lecture on essential oils they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils their example put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can taste it some of us have used vicks vapo rub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between but i ve never heard of this and don t laugh it works 100 of the time although the scientists who discovered it aren t sure why to stop night time coughing in a child or adult as we found out personally put vicks vapo rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime then cover with socks even persistent heavy deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many many hours of relief works 100 of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines in addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly just happened to tune in a m radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs so i listened it was a surprise finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly my wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100 she said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me this was a deep incredibly annoying every few seconds uncontrollable cough and she slept cough free for hours every night that she used it i used this with haven last week and it wasn t perfect but helped a lot also checked it out on snopes com where it is listed as undetermined no real medical findings but my little test at home showed it s at least worth buying a jar and giving it a try a fabulous tip from our great uncle posted by christy the tip spot at 9 56 am 2 comments monday january 5 2009 favorite things beauty products this week lizzy and i are going to share with you some our favorite beauty products and we would love for you to email some of yours as well and on friday we will post them here goes biosilk silk therapy goes anywhere put on wet hair dry hair even your skin this stuff rocks essentially feels like soft water and you don t need much i bought a gift pack for a great price at target but you can get it several places online can be spendy so shop around you see this stuff at the malls and usually the sales people are on the annoying side but some of their stuff is ripe for the pickin i got hassled into these nail packs but i really do love the nail file and the lotion the up side soft and shiny nails cuticles and hands the down must remember to do it every 2 weeks when i have a brain my hands feel like butter and this is the giveaway prize for the service project this month that s right that whole set pictured is up for grabs yea for you i am a mascara girl always and i recently switched from my fave brand of several years to this covergirl lash blast when it came out a few months ago i will not go back to my old ways smooth not too thick love it i did have difficulty getting used to the bristles on the wand they are closer than they appear and i got poked in the eye a few times before i got it right and who couldn t use a bit more orange in their make up bag this little bottle is joy actual happiness or at least what i imagine happy smells like for a good price find all the dove body sprays by the deoderant but i think this grapefruit scent is perfect for everyday use spray your bra spray your arms spray your hair if you ran out of time to shampoo so many uses and my 10 year old daughter loves it too i have a really hard time with face make up first off i have combination highly sensitive skin next up a few scars from various acne episodes and other moments of pain summer is a bit easier for me but winter is blah time i have to wear coverage all over or i might as well be wearing a scary costume well after halloween i must share then that i am in love with this pixi illuminating tint and conceal there is a tube of face tint that is very light and can be layered for extra coverage and it has these fantastic little somethings that make my face all glow y i just feel pretty wearing it to make it even easier the cap is a concealing stick perfect on the spendy side but for 2 products not too bad for me it is a steal no more itching weird rashes odd redness periodic hives extra break outs who needs those or totally the wrong shade face done i shared mine so please share yours posted by christy the tip spot at 6 57 am 5 comments monthly
