oh god, storing my jewelry is currently the bane of my existence. i need it to be displayed somewhat or else i never wear it, but i could also really use the room it's taking up on my dresser. righ...

i love candy corn for about a week, then i can't look at it again until next halloween lol. i do love those round chocolates with cararmel in the middle made to look like eyeballs. i know i can buy...

i read tom's blogs on bravotv.com after each episode and he said that laurine was sent home because she had two strikes against her - the front of house and the lamb (it was her idea even though ke...

not so much a cooking accident, but one night in college i made two loaded bean burritos for dinner: refried beans, sour cream, cheese sauce, guaramole, salsa, the works. walking to my room my foot...

tapping the sides several times with a knife or spoon usually works for me. i'll have to remember this though, i'm terrible at opening jars.

creamy horseradish instead of the mayo - yum!

I don't see why it wouldn't work for you, and really as long as you like it, who cares what others say? That being said, I'd stick to a similar "theme" for lack of a better word. Maybe only do pots...

this is probably a stupid question, but do bedbugs live in just upholstered furniture, or is solid wood furniture at risk too? is there a cheap/easy way to get rid of them before you take the furni...

wow, i was going to say the EXACT SAME THING as thekrecs. white fairy lights, paper lanterns, and mason jars with tea lights (or really just tea lights in plain holders) would be amazing. if it's i...

does anyone know where that giraffe print came from? i did a quick etsy search but couldn't find anything.

man, i was just in northern MI (waaaay up north) this past weekend and tried thimbleberry jam for the first time. i loved it, but balked at the $10 a jar price. now i wish i had sucked it up and bo...

oooh, send the Detroit Craigslist finds to ME! I don't seem to be able to navigate craigslist very well, I never really find anything good!

I don't mind packing and unpacking but I agree that it's the random, don't-have-a-place-for type of things that seem to take the longest to unpack. I always seem to have those last two boxes that l...

ah, welcome to the club. Being from Detroit, I don't think I've ever seen an article in a national publication that doesn't mention my hometown's crime/murder/unemployment/foreclosure rate. There's...

not my style but I think it's pulled off well here.

I start planning about a week before - picking up any toiletries I might need doing laundry, etc. But the actual packing usually doesn't happen until the day before.

I don't live in an earthquake prone area so I'm not really experienced, but I would think that just taking the glass out of the frame and nailing through the frame into the wall (with an anchor) wo...

Man, it seems like everyone on the internet is cranky today! If you don't like the question why take the time to comment on the post?!? Anyway, I like the idea of putting your bed on c...

love the concept but it's just a bit too much for me. take away a few elements (for me, the wallpaper and the zebra print) and I'd love to live there.

easing into it is probably the best idea, but I did it in a crash course sort of way and it worked out alright for me. pick one week and only buy a ton of fruits and veggies and grains, even ones y...
