Monogram Your Life

Monograms are everywhere these days. From baby shoes to handbags to dishes to furniture to weddings to pillows to trays and everything in between. Heck, there's even an encyclopedia just for monograms! What have you put your mark on?

Bounce Back

Who knew?! According to homesessive.com, dry sheets have many uses. In addition to eliminating static cling and softening clothes, dryer sheets can do much more!


Wash Dishes: To loosen baked-on food from dishes, simply place a dryer sheet onto the dish, fill with cold water, and let it soak over night. The fabric softener in the dryer sheet will break down the food particles, making the dish much easier to clean in the morning.

Mosquito Repellent: Just stick a dryer sheet in each pocket or tie it to a belt loop. It's a lot more cost-effective than any bug spray or citronella candle. Plus, they have a pleasant scent.

Deodorizer: Banish stinky odors by tucking dryer sheets into sneakers, slippers, luggage, camping gear, sports equipment, basements, attics, and furniture.

Soap Scum Buster: (This is my favorite!) Clean glass shower doors by scrubbing them with damp dryer sheets.

Duster: Wipe static from your television and computer screen, as well as dust blinds.


And there's your new go-to tool for cleaning house. Wa-lah!

Z-Z-Z-Zara Home Run

Zara Home just launched this month and it is anything but "Zzzzz's." I am a huge fan of their apparel, and their home line doesn't disappoint. It's MAJOR. And like their fashion, it's affordable too! Their online cataloglookbook, and online video don't skip a beat. Excellent marketing and fabulous photos - take a look for yourself...
