8. I'm suspect of a few of these suggestions.

Using fabric softener and vinegar in a spray bottle to release wrinkles? Seems like that would be fairly toxic smelling - especially for people like me with scent sensitivities. You can also use plain water in a spray bottle, which is what I do. Sometimes I'll put a couple drops lavender oil in the bottle, but nothing too smelly.

Using a newspaper as an odor absorber may work, but as pictured it will equal newsprint all over your fresh veggies. Ick.

Using non-stick spray on votive holders may work, but you have to pay for the spray which isn't cheap. The other thing you can do, on the other end of candle burning, is to put the votive holders in the freezer for a few hours. The leftover wax at the bottom of the holder will pop out when frozen.

A toilet seat cover to blot facial oil? What, you cruising Texaco bathrooms for your skin care treatments? If you so desperately need to blot oil, regular toilet paper will do the trick, and it's far more common than toilet seat covers!

And how frickin' big does your handbag have to be so you can roll a whole lint roller around the bottom to pick up loose change?!? Ridiculously large, that's how big!
