Tipful Tuesday - 'All You' Style

I recently subscribed to All You.....I'm not really sure how I found out about this magazine but I'm sure it was one the many blogs I read daily.  I absolutely ♥♥♥ this magazine!  So THANK YOU whoever you may be.  J

This magazine is packed full of wonderful tips, fashion, recipes, coupons etc. 

I thought I'd share a variety of tips that I personally found useful and helpful....I hope you do to.

• Keep it or toss it?  Beauty products have a shelf life, too.  When to purge your goods.
• Foundation, Lipstick and Gloss, Blush and Face Powder - two years
• Mascara - three months
• Nail Polish - one year
• Anti aging or Acne Treatments - Three months to a year
• Natural Beauty Products - Up to six months
• Shampoo and Conditioner, Body Lotion, Sunscreen, Perfume - about three years

I personally do not make my own household cleaners; but I have tried a few of these thus far and you will be surprised. 

• Boost your cleaning power - double duty products that add extra elbow grease wherever it's needed.
• Club Soda - Add club soda to glass cleaner recipes for extra dirt-lifting action, or dab it on a rag to make metal fixtures sparkle.
• Cream of Tarter - Along with baking soda, this baking staple is a faintly acidic tub-and-tile scourer.  Combined with lemon juice, it makes a mildly abrasive grout cleaner.
• Denture Tablets - Drop one tablet into the toilet bowl, wait 20 minutes, then flush - no brushing needed.  Use two with a dash of vinegar, to unclog a drain.  Who knew?  A fabulous new way to clean those nasty toilets.  J
• Hydrogen Peroxide - Use it to pinch-hit for bleach on laundry stains.  Wipe bathroom surfaces with white vinegar, followed by a 3-to-1 water-peroxide spray.
• Vodka - Spritz this alcoholic beverage on ceramic bathroom tiles to remove pesky soap scum that cleansers didn't remove.  Wait 10 minutes, then rinse clean.
• Worcestershire Sauce - Mix this condiment into homemade furniture polish and apply to mask nicks and dents in dark finishes.
