I don’t know about you, but colder weather doesn’t just mean mittens and chili in my house.  It means hair that won’t lay down, thanks to static electricity.  Not just me, oh no, but my daughter, too.

Sticks way up high, you should see us after taking a winter hat off, it’s scary stuff, our hair is.

I talked to my hair stylist about this dilemma and she told me to rub my hands on a fabric softener sheet and then pat down our hair. 

And it works.

And that makes me so happy.  (if you use the sheet directly on the hair, it will make your hair greasy.  And that is not a good thing.  Unless, you like your hair greasy.)

It’s been a while since I participated in Works for Me Wednesday, but it occurred to me today while showering that there is something I do to make my legs feel extra smooth after shaving and thought WFMW would be a great way to share my tip!. 

After shaving I lather my legs with hair conditioner and then rinse.  You won’t believe how good it feels!

I can’t believe I haven’t shared the greatest tablecloth in the world with you!

I had been hesitant to purchase a tablecloth because I figured I would be washing it after every meal because of spills and who wants to waste their time doing laundry?

But then I found this tablecloth that is actually SPILL PROOF!  SPILL PROOF, I SAY!  When you spill anything on it, the liquid literally beads up and you can wipe it away and it’s like nothing spilled at all.  It’s very sci-fi or magical.  or something.

See, here’s proof:
After the spill.  See the beads and the spill just sitting there??  And yes, I did spill something JUST for this picture.  Because I can!

And after the spill clean-up.

In case you’re wondering and I’m pretty sure you are, I purchased my tablecloth here.

This tablecloth also washes and dries wonderfully, which totally works for me!

Do you save your Box Tops?  I do, I save them for my nieces and nephews, when I first started saving them I would find box tops all over the kitchen.  Then I moved them to a sandwich bag and then I could never find that. 

I finally got smart and taped an envelope to the inside of a cabinet

door, a cabinet that is most central in the kitchen and it’s worked like a charm ever since!

I have been doing this for a year and a half, so I know it works for me!  For Works for me Wednesdays, go here. 

There is nothing better than the smell of fresh, natural lavender  growing in your garden.

I planted a small plant of lavender underneath my bedroom window a few years ago and when the wind blows in, the scent drifts into my bedroom.  It is amazing, the best, I recommend it to everyone.

Lavender is a very easy plant to care for and it’s inexpensive.  It is a perennial (comes every year), loves the sun and likes to be planted in well drained soil or even in a pot!  So, go to Lowe’s, pick up some lavender and enjoy it’s amazing, calming aroma.  Nothing is better than laying in bed at night after a long day of yelling at my kids and not folding laundry and smelling my lavender.
