Do you keep your disposable razor in the shower? If so, take it out. The blades in the razor deteriorate due to moisture, not from the friction of shaving. So, after using your razor, rinse it and blot it on a towel or blow a hairdryer over it. According to money expert Clark Howard, doing this will help extend the life of your razor for up to one year.

January is National Radon Action Month, and it's a good time to test your home for the dangerous and odorless gas. Radon gas levels soar during the winter months because we keep our windows closed and spend more time indoors. Approximately 1 in 15 homes across the country have high levels of radon, which is the number one cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. At-home tests are easy to find at any home improvement store. Once you know your levels, you can find easy ways to remedy the situation.

Heating accounts for more than 29 percent of all annual utility usage, so make sure your heating system is in tip-top shape. One easy thing you can do is to check your ductwork: Is it as tight as possible? Are there any leaks? You can fix leaks with simple duct mastic or tape, which can help reduce heating loss and improve your heating system's efficiency as much as 20 percent. It will also help deliver warmer air throughout the home and that, combined with a programmable thermostat, will save you money and keep you warm all winter long.
