Prep time saver - My Garbage Bowl

Do you use a garbage bowl when prepping your dinner? I do and it does saves time! I heard of this tip many years ago from Rachel Ray (she even sells designated garbage bowls at your local Target/Walmart.)  The concept is simple, yet genius at the same time. You have a bowl near by to dump any trash from prepping your meal; peeled skin off of carrots, wrapping off a meat package, anything! Then when you are finished, just dump it all in the trash.  This saves you time from going back and forth to the trash can.  I just recently added my little addition, inserting a recycled plastic trash bag as an insert, so I do not have to wash the bowl when I am finished!

Try the next time you are prepping any meal!

Do you have a kitchen time saver?  I would love to hear your tips!!


As always, saving you time.....one tip at a time!

Tip Tuesday- MAC Fix Plus


I admit in loving my makeup!  As the day wears on, so does my makeup.  I use primers and powders, that help keep my makeup in place. (I will share with you one day.)  But there is one product that I am in love with, and it is perfect for all woman, whether you like to wear makeup or not!!


The amazing product is Mac Fix Plus. I spray it on my face after I apply my makeup, and my makeup literally stays put all day!  If you are not a fan of makeup on a daily bases, I recommend spraying this product on your face to keep your skin looking hydrated and looking pristine!!   Spray a little in the afternoon when you need a pick-me-up, and you will get that refreshed look back.  This product helps the busy person that just does not have time!!  I have tried so many "finishing" sprays, from high-end to bargain brands, and this one takes the cake.....not be confused with "cakey" makeup!!

I suggest you check out this product, and see for yourself!!!

As Always, saving you time, one tip at a time!
Cheers!

Save time and Make a List

Make a List




If you asked me 10 years ago, "would you make a list to do house chores?",  I would ABSOLUTELY say, "NO WAY!"  But that was me then and the me now is a WHOLE different story!  The  "LISTS" do help with keeping the tasks at hand and they ultimately save me time and money!

Keeping the house clean and manageable takes strategy and that is where my lists help!  I found one of my daily cleaning lists at,  A Bowl Full of Lemons.  Of course, making lists do not require  you to go online, just start with your pen and paper! Make lists of daily and monthly cleaning goals.  You will find that you will start a habit of routine.  The same theory applies to grocery shopping, goals for your finances, personal goals, etc...

Don't forget the list is only as good as you use it, so do not forget!


As always, saving you time, one tip at a time!
