Hey Everyone!

From your everyday jewelry to unique pieces you only where on special occasions, chances are, all of your jewelry could use a good polish. Lotion, soaps, and everyday dust and dirt are just a few things that can clog jewelry settings and make stones, chains and pearls appear dull and lifeless. And it's usually not until you're getting ready for a night out on the town that you notice your rings, necklaces and bracelets need some attention.

The good news is you can clean your jewelry at home with the Pro-Gem Elite Professional Ultrasonic and Steam Cleaner System!

This 2-step home system safely and effectively cleans your grandmother's wedding ring, favorite earrings, bracelets, waterproof watches, dentures, and even rare coins in just a few steps.

Hint 1: Chilling drinks with salt

If you love hosting last minute parties, you will love this hack!

Add salt to your ice bucket! Why, you ask? It will chill drinks much faster, which is life-changing for summertime get togethers!

To quickly chill a bottle of wine or champagne, place the bottle in an ice bucket or other tall plastic container. Add a layer of ice on the bottom and sprinkle it with a few tablespoons of kosher salt. Continue to layer salt and ice until it reaches the neck of the bottle, then add water to ice level. After 10 to 12 minutes, open and serve.


Hint 2: Store a Lint Roller in Your Living Room

A lint roller is a cleaning multi-tasker that can do much more than just de-fuzz your sweaters. Keep one tucked into a drawer in your living room so you can pull it out whenever your sofa collects pet fur or when your lampshades need a quick dusting.

During a commercial break (or when Netflix asks you if you're still watching), it's your cue to grab the lint roller and speed-clean for three minutes. Your living room will look neater and you'll still have time to finish your favorite Netflix show.
