Helpful hints not from Heloise

Here are a few I actually did today, I think I use a few everyday and according to the little poll to your left thats something you guys want so here goes:

To prevent clogs poor a can of beer down your drain, I know you say alcohol abuse! However, I've never had a clog, nor do I have a garbage disposal so use the money you would pay a plumber on more beer;)

If you are allergic to gold which many of us are but still like to be blingin you can boil your rings every other month in this simple mixture. Works for white gold too. 
1 part apple cider vinegar
1 part hydrogen peroxide
1 part water
Boil for about 5 mins. Also gives them a nice shine without the work of polishing!

Simmer orange peel in water for potpourri instead of buying that expensive oil at the store. This could be considering reducing or reusing but its definitely considered saving money and smells fabulous.

Keep your oranges out of the fridge to make it easier to remove the peel. The white bitter stuff on the back of the peel (pectin) will stick to the orange and not the part your peeling if the orange is cold so a warm orange peels much better.
