Your iPhone as Mirror

Sometimes in a pinch you need a mirror in your purse or bag. But if you're out and about and don't have one - use your iPhone or iPod. Go into Camera mode and flip the viewfinder (see icon in picture here) so you appear on screen. That's it  - you're looking at yourself. Touch up lipstick and go.

Swipe (Don't Swap) Your Wipers

If your car's windshield wipers aren't doing their job, don't run out and replace them. First, try washing them. Grab your kitchen dishwashing soap (like Dawn) and suds up a rag with the soap and some water. Swing up your windshield wipers away from your car and wash off the rubber strip that meets the glass. You'll be surprised at how much oil and grime washes comes off. That's it... your windshield wipers will be like new, assuming they are otherwise in good shape. Thanks to Bob, my father-in-law and a Chrysler retiree, for this one!

Playing With Abandon In Skirts

LOVE these! I recently went school uniform shopping for my daughter and discovered these cute under-the-skirt shorts called Monkeybar Buddies. They are meant to be worn underneath skirts and dresses instead of bulky shorts and leggings. Here's the blurb on the back of the package: "Designed to allow girls to play with abandon. No bunching. No sticking. No bulk. Just pure, worry free play. Go ahead, swing from the rafters." They come in a rainbow of colors and patterns to match any outfit.
