At your next party, your guests can know which drinking glass is theirs with this simple upcycling idea using rubber bands. Wrap a different colored, wide rubber band around the middle of the glass. Guests can choose a glass, fill it with their beverage, and then write their name with a permanent marker right on the rubber band.

Germs and bacteria usually lurk in the areas that we are in constant contact all day long, like our cell phones and computer keyboards. One way to clean them is to moisten a Q-tip with hydrogen peroxide and wipe the surfaces clean, in between keys on a keyboard or all over the surface on the phone. Allow to air dry and then it's back to work!

As the weather gets warmer and insects make their way into our homes, one way to stop them in their tracks is to remove any trace of potential food sources for them. This includes pantry staples like cookies, crackers, chips and other snack foods that, when opened, could be a feast for little creatures. Make a habit of putting opened snack bags, boxes and containers into the fridge and not back in the pantry; only keep tightly sealed items in there at all times.
