Hello Everyone,

How many of you ladies dye your hair at home? I'll admit I do quite often because it's hard for me to dish out almost $100 for a color treatment and haircut. Well, if you're like me and dye your own hair at home try this next time. Apply petroleum jelly around your hairline and on the tops of your ears before adding the dye to your hair. It forms a barrier that doesn't let the dye adhere to your skin.

Hint 1:

Plastic food containers have a funny way of hanging onto odors no matter how many times you wash them. All you need is some newspaper to shake the nasty scent. Bunch the newspaper and stuff it inside the container overnight. By morning, the paper will have absorbed the odor, and your container will smell as good as new.

Hint 2:

Before lighting candles, coat the inside of the candle holders with petroleum jelly. The leftover wax will slide right out after the candle burns down. How awesome is that?
