Hey Everyone!

Do you typically make holiday cookies, but realized you are running out of time? No problem-o...

Using store-bought cookie dough to make Christmas cookies isn't cheating if you add a personal touch. Take pre-made sugar cookie dough and let it soften.

Then, sprinkle in any flavor you're craving: cinnamon, orange zest, almond extract, vanilla extract, nuts, pure peppermint extract, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips.

Hint 1: Keep your Poinsettias vibrant with this simple trick

Did you know that Poinsettias are actually desert plants?

And Poinsettias will die from root rot if overwatered and sitting in excess water in the foil wrap. That's why you should water them using ice cubes...yes, ice cubes!

An ice cube added directly on the soil once or twice a day
ensures your plant will get a slow trickle of water.

With this technique you slowly and evenly water as the ice cube melts.

Hint 2: Coat Your Snow Shovel with Car Wax

Make shoveling snow easier by first coating your metal shovel with car wax. Follow the application instructions on the car wax package.

Then the snow and ice will slide right off of the shovel after each scoop.
