Pre-Scoop Ice Cream For Parties

I found this amazing time saving tip for birthday parties.  Scooping ice cream for over 20 people and serving cake is chaos.  I picked up some cupcake liners and metal tins with lids.  The day before the party I scooped ice cream into the cupcake liners and put them in the tins.  I put them in the freezer until I was ready to serve .  This saved tons of time when serving cake and ice cream.

How To Store Your Plastic Shopping Bags

I have always been one to have a drawer in my kitchen stuffed with plastic shopping bags.  Since moving I realized I don't have the space to have a "bag" drawer and even if I did I'm sick of opening a cupboard and having bags fly out at you.  While browsing Pinterest, I had come across a pin on how to fold shopping bags.  It shows you step by step on how to fold a shopping bag into a small triangle .  I tried it out and it was really easy. 

This is what my bags looked like before and after.

Tips On How To Shape and Groom Your Eyebrows



I am by no means a pro at eyebrows.  My eyebrows are far from perfect.  I was a silly teenager and over plucked my brows for years and now I'm paying for it.  I sometimes watch YouTube to see what's good for make up, hair etc.  I found a girl named Kandee Johnson who is  make up artist.  She had a video on how to shape and groom your eyebrows.  I followed the steps in her video and found them very easy.  I am sharing this in hope that someone else will also find this helpful.  I suck at tweezing so that's what makes this way so much faster and easier.

What you'll need to do this is small eyebrow shaver, eyebrow brush and cuticle scissors. You may also need tweezers but you don't need to use them.

 I found that using the eyebrow shaver was very quick and painless.  I usually do my eyebrows once a month using this method.  I have never had a problem with hair growing back thicker using the shaver. I purchased the cuticle scissors and eyebrow shavers at Walmart for under $5. There was 3 shavers in a pack.

 Here is the how to video.




You should also check out more of Kandee Johnson's videos. I find her really entertaining and she offers great beauty tips.

How To Keep Bananas Fresher Longer

I found that my bananas were going bad half way through the week.  I found a tip on Pinterest to make them last longer so I thought I'd give it a try.  I took a small piece of saran wrap and wrapped it around the stem.  Then I put an elastic band around it to hold it on. My bananas lasted over a week before they started going bad.



Give this a try and let me know if it works for you.
