1. Use white vinegar as a fabric softener in your rinse water. Environmentally-friendly and a heck of a lot less expensive than Downy, vinegar makes a great fabric softener and will not leave its strong scent on your clothes.
2. Use dripping water to defrost meats quickly. I’m a great meal planner but I stink at looking at my plan with enough time to defrost my meat. My best friend recently divulged that you can put your meat in the sink in a bowl of cool water and let the faucet drip into it. The friction defrosts the meat in record time.
