I think this is gross. I'm betting that these salons use the standard salon nail polish which is filled with harmful chemicals. Covering up growing breathing body parts (i.e., nails) with a non-por...

You could use the handprint as a stamp of sorts and do repeats to make a bigger art piece (I'm thinking poster). Like white hand prints striped with red hand prints and a blue hand prints box to ma...

In gumbo is great. Be advised that it can get a little snotty (for lack of a better word) that's what thickens the gumbo. I've heard there are ways to de-slime okra if you plan to cook...

The website has photos and descriptions of the new liner vs. the older liner with BPA: http://mysigg.com/liner/ I emailed the company to ask abou...

My parents were thrifty immigrants so a vegetable garden and compost was always a part of our life. They hated wasting so everything in our lives revolved around the idea of not doing so. Vacations...

I've made baby quilts for all but one mom-to-be. I keep the pattern simple (blocks, strips, etc) and focus on cute fabrics so the quilt doesn't take too much time. And I'll also embroider the baby'...

We stopped using paper towels because it seemed wasteful (and not environmentally friendly) I miss them for bacon too, but I've found a way to rig a plate tilted on a chopstick to let the grease dr...

I was just about to purchase some toilet bowl cleaner myself, so this review comes in quite handily. But isn't scent a little subjective? If that's the only basis upon which you prefer one product ...

The rubber gloves is a good idea, it works much like the tool you are Re-nest-Re-calling, though. So after time you'll probably find that parts of the glove along the palm will have worn out and ho...

Is Bon Ami too much like the baking soda salt combo? I find that it's finer and scrubs a bit more thoroughly than baking soda. I'd sprinkle a bit of Bon Ami onto the surface of the oven and go at i...

I suffer from horrible sinuses and so I go through an alarming number of recycled tissue boxes. What's the proper etiquette (and not gross way) of putting away the hankies after they've been used?

I was all gung-ho on the idea but worried that my husband might not appreciate the less sensitive recycled brand. When I broached the idea, he said we should give it a try. Two weeks into using the...

This is a great idea, I'll have to remember it when I have extra dry lips and my cats start zapping me with their static. I had to comment because I read this through google reader and...

In the LA/Santa Monica neighborhood, the Wednesday/Saturday farmer's market on 3rd street promenade always has a few receptacles for battery recycling. And also the Santa Monica Main Branch library...

Almost a year after this article was posted, I needed to find out how to safely dispose of my expired prescriptions. So of course I did a search on Re-Nest which didn't yield the results I was hopi...

I tried lining my compost bucket with biobags and just found that they leaked. At the end of a hot L.A. day, there was a considerable amount of stinky compost juice that was at the bottom of my com...

I can't believe you are perpetuating gender-based stereotypes by asking your readers to weigh in on this ridiculous generalization.

what an awesome idea! I am going to try this in our place.

I would use this to iron our clothes at home instead of taking them to the cleaners. Also, this would be handy for steaming out the wrinkles of all the fabrics I use for my craft projects.

Oh my god. One of my cats totally has this problem and I couldn't figure out what it was! I AM using a plastic dish for their water. Thanks so much for sharing this! I am going to change it up rig...
