When it comes to crafting supplies like crayons, markers and paint, it’s critical to look for materials that have as little toxicity as possible. The Art and Creative Materials Institute has an AP-certified label that goes onto products that meet stringent safety standards. Products go through an extensive toxicology testing program before they can bear the AP-certified mark. Using these products when crafting with small kids is key, especially if they tend to put paint-covered fingers in their mouths.

The next time you open a jar or can of olives, don’t discard the flavorful brine inside. The savory liquid mixture of water, vinegar and salt has fantastic flavor that can be used beyond making martinis dirty. Pour the mixture into anything in lieu of salt; add it to pasta sauces or homemade hummus, use it as part of a salad dressing, or steam vegetables with it so they have a nice brine flavor when they’re all cooked up. You can also save brine by freezing it in ice cube trays; when you need one, just pop out a cube and toss it into the pot.

If you have small packets of mustard in your junk or office drawer, pull them out and put them to good use. Mustard is more than just a condiment; it can also combat odors. If your reusable plastic, glass or metal containers have a lingering scent inside, you can neutralize the smell with mustard. Just squeeze a few packets of mustard into the container and then fill with hot water. Seal it shut and let it sit for a few hours, then rinse with soap and water to reveal your freshly cleaned container.
