Zip'n Steam Bags

These little bags are a life saver when time is running short for lunch or Dinner. Just throw your veggies, or meat with your favorite seasonings into these bags and pop them into the microwave. The bag has suggested cook times for about anything you can think of. I love how it can cook a bake potato in 4 minutes and a frozen piece of chicken in 7! Its fast and super healthy! These would be perfect for a collage student or someone who only cooks for oneself.

No Gas Beans

So I love beans. People always joke about beans giving you gas, but with this little secret there will be no gas. So you can eat all the beans you want without the consequences. This little secret is called Baking Soda! Just mix 1/8 teaspoon baking soda into your water that you will be soaking your beans in. In the morning just rinse as usual. Bye-bye bloating!

My Favorite Make-up tip

Don't leave you make-up around, because this could happen. My silly girl just loves getting into my make-up.

Fast drying nails!

As a Mother I am always on the run. I am also a woman who can't stand to have naked nails. Having my nails unpainted or having chipped polish makes me feel half dressed. Sad..... but true. This little trick ables me to pick up a screaming baby off the floor in minutes after painting my nails! It sounds a little weird but it totally works so don't laugh! The trick is called Pam. Yes, the cooking spray. After you finish painting both hands or both feet depending on what your are painting, spray some Pam over your nails. Make sure to hold the can about a foot away, otherwise it will not save you anytime because it will leave little bumps on your nails and you will have to repaint them. Believe me, I know from experience. Just rub your hands together after a few minutes to add a little moister to your hands and cuticles.

Healing Diaper rash and Insect bites

If you do not have any diaper ointment on hand when your child has a diaper rash, Corn Starch does the trick. Just sprinkle on as you would baby power.

The make the itch go away on a nasty but bite just mix a small amount of corn starch with a few drops of water to create a paste. Rub on irritated area and in a few minutes swelling and itching will be gone!

Killing Bactria In your Sponge

There is nothing I hate more than a stinky sponge! You can kill Bactria that

is living in your sponge my microwaving it in a bowl of water for 5 minutes. Let it cool a few minutes before removing. You should sanitize your sponge as often as you can. I like to do mine at least every other day.
