How To Do Wednesday: How to Be Happy

-

Trending on Facebook: Depression. No, depression is not really trending officially but it is a pattern that I have been seeing on my feed with more than a few friends. Now I know that Facebook has become a dumping ground for emotions, but depression is a serious matter and I don't like seeing people down.

Life is tough but the challenges that you face and overcome will make you stronger, smarter, and better in decision-making. Be grateful for what you DO have! There is always someone worse off than you, I can guarantee that! So remember to count your blessings.

This post is not really advice but a way to encourage anyone that is having a tough time to be strong! I will now leave you with some of my favorite quotes that I found around the internet. BE HAPPY!

Trial Tuesday: Removing Printed Labels From Plastic

So if you have been following my blog. you know that I have really been getting more organized in 2015. One way that I continue to add new items to my home is to recycle the products that I use. Recently, I came across this Pin that I wanted to try out for baking ingredient storage: find this tutorial on www.hometalk.com Now while this idea is very clever I wasn't sure if I would use paint to redo the cans that I have. This got me thinking about another Pin that I saw on Pinterest about removing printed labels with nail polish remover. Found on www.2busybrunettes.com After I saw this Pin, I checked it out on YouTube and with thin plastic, it does work. With this in mind I wondered if I could remove the label from the Folgers Container. Which brings us to this weeks trial. TRIAL What You Will Need: Before: Directions: Fold a piece of paper towel and soak it in nail polish remover.  Place nail polish soaked paper towel on the label for 5 minutes.
