A Clean Green Bin

​After our green in is emptied and hosed out if necessary I throw a few sheets of newspaper into the bottom of the bin and this usually keeps it clean for quite some time.

Ancient Treatment for the Face

​If you spend your hard earned money on lotions and potions to remove makeup and soften your skin, try swapping to a pantry item in almost every home, OLIVE OIL. It is natural, inexpensive and has been used for centuries to moisturise the skin, even before it was used for cooking! It can be applied to the body and if you use it to remove makeup, follow it up with a foaming cleanser.

Giving Generously Without Budget Pain

​Last year I decided to put any coins left over from shopping into a tin money box that couldn't be opened unless you used a metal opener. At the end of the year I counted and separated out the coins and bagged them then gave that to a worthy cause. It amounted to a couple of hundred dollars. The recipient was appreciative and it was easy to do throughout the year without breaking any budgets.

​Room Temp Stops the Spread

​When baking use room temperature ingredients to ensure lighter and fluffier cakes, and your biscuits won't spread.
