Unclutter Your Junk Drawer

 Yes, we all have and some of us call it by a different name but it’s all the same. It’s the stinking junk drawer that piles up and piles up to no avail. If yours is like mine then it is probably time for a good deep cleaning.

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your home and it really needs to be neat and tidy including that dawning junk drawer of yours. There are different ways that you could go about making it work for you but here are a few tips to get you started and on the cheap because we all love cheap.

Clear it Out:

Take everything out of the junk drawer and dump it on a table. I do mean everything and you will probably be amazed at what all you have in there. I know I hadn’t seen my finger nail clippers in a while.

Go Through the Pile:

Go through it and take out the things that don’t really belong or things that you know should go in another room. I leave things like tape, pens, and a notepad in mine because these are things that we often need to find right away but never really remember where they are and they don’t really have a place anywhere else. I guess you could put the tape with your crafting items or whatever but this is just an example. Also throw out any trash or receipts and things that you no longer need.

Clean the drawer:

Really clean it because under all that junk you have dust and dirt that doesn’t need to be there. Take a rag and cleaner and spray the drawer out.

Putting things back:

Some people use little baggies to separate their items and other use small boxes or other organizers. I simply stick to whats on hand so that I don’t feel the urge to go out and purchase an organizer just for junk.

Now that it’s Clean:

Put this on your schedule to do once a month so that it doesn’t get out of hand again. Keeping this drawer tidy will also keep bugs at bay since they won’t be able to hide in it.

What’s your junk drawer look like and what item’s do you keep in it?

The Difference Between Writing a Blog Post and an Article

 I recently got asked if I would allow an individual to  write an article  for my blog. I assume that what they meant was, could they write a blog post. I also assume that this individual did not know the difference between a blog post and an article. Conversational Language of a Blog Post Conversational language on a blog post is more like you are talking to a close friend. It is like you are having a conversation with an individual that you have known for years. Blog post do not have to be formal at all. Blog post are supposed to invite the readers in and create conversation. Blog post also tend to have the writer’s opinion more than an article does. This does not mean that a blog post is not based on facts. Blog post are editorial pieces at best. Conversational Language of an Article Articles are meant to be informative, leaving false information completely out, and the opinion of the writer at a minimal. Articles are normally formal and more objective. Most articles d...

Earning with Bubblews

I have heard a lot of bad things about  Bubblews . I use to  love to write  for them and I still do every now and again. One review that I had seen was from a dear friend who had gotten kicked off of their site for unknown reasons, another review was from another friend who said that the pay system was really messed up but she still got paid, it just took longer than they state. Well, I have been writing for them for a while now. I don’t write there frequently though. You are allowed to post ten articles or post a day. I don’t take full advantage of this though; I am lucky if I post one a week. Anyways, this is my current pay scale that I have. I need to reach $50 before I can withdraw this into my PayPal account and right now I am at $46. I will keep you updated on my progress with them. Please let me know how your experience has been so far.
