Insert the smallest drill bit in your cordless drill and make tiny holes all over the top of a pumpkin. Insert bamboo skewers (the ones used to make kebabs in the summertime) and poke Halloween treats on top. Voila! You've created an instant serving piece for your Halloween party.

When storing your free-range, organic eggs in the refrigerator, don't store them in the fridge door. Eggs can get too warm there. The best bet is to keep them in their cardboard carton and place them on a shelf, farther back in the fridge. Also, look for certified organic eggs only. An egg labeled "all-natural" means nothing because all eggs are made by nature.

If you take public transportation -- like the New York City subway system -- this tip is for you. When buying a subway pass, choose the refillable option that lets you reuse the plastic passes. If you don't have one, look to the ground around the machine; there are usually dozens and dozens of passes that are waiting to be rescued and refilled by you.
