Finance$- What Bills to Pay First?

There are 3 main bills you should pay right away!

1.) Mortgage or Rent and Property Taxes. Having a roof over you and your family's head should be your number one priority. 

2.) Utilities. No I'm not talking TV, Netflix etc... I'm talking Water & Heat Maybe even Internet if that's how you make your living. Search for the energy saver guide at energy.gov for ways to save.

3.) Car Payment. You need a way to get to work. So don't miss this one, you could lose your car, and have to pay a lot of money to get it back. 

Tip of the Day- A Bar of Soap

To budge a stuff zipper, hold the fabric taut and rub the soap along the front and back sides of the teeth. Then pull and see how smoothly it glides.

Garage Safety Tips

Is your garage really as safe as it should be?

70% of homeowners use the garage as the primary entry point into their home. Make sure yours is safe with these tips.

1.) Keep tools, chemicals and sharp objects in locked cabinets, or at least always out of the reach of children.

2.) Certain common household chemicals can ignite just by coming in contact with another. Be sure to read warning labels and expiration dates, and store each securely in its own location.

3.) Consider installing shelving or cabinets, then label each. You'll quickly find what you're looking for while protecting the items and keeping them safely away from children.

Cleaning Your Handbag

Even If you think Your handbag is clean is very dirty and germy. Imagine the times you may have placed it on the floor while going in a public bathroom (No No don't do this, There is a reason they put the hooks behind the door). think about it then you come home you set it on the table or bed gross.

1.)So for this reason get some disinfectant wipes and wipe over the outside of your handbag.

Now that your handbag is disinfected let Tidy the inside.

Handbags always have way to much stuff in the. Receipts, kids toys, water bottles, baby bottles, snacks, trash and so much more. Like me do you have to much in there for time to time?

Dose your phone ring and you can't find it?
Do you loose your keys?
well then its time for number 2

2.) go through your handbag and remove any trash & items you don't need in there






what do you really need in your handbag?
here are some examples of what you may need:

• Notepad
• Pen
• Keys
• Mobile Phone
• Chapstick
• Sunglasses
• Water bottle- Its a good idea to always have water on you, get the little bottles to keep in your bag.
• Women Products- Tampons, Pads, Wipes, Oder Spray, Pampren (Keep in a cute little zippered bag, NOT a Clear Bag Gross or Lose in you Handbag Gross)
• Travel size brush
• Travel Size hair spray
• Hair Tie
• Anti-bacterial gel
• Advil- I cant not have this with me.

Remember just because its on this list don't mean you need it these are just examples!
The Rule is if you have it in you Handbag but  you never use it then it should not be in there.

I keep things like nail files, hand moisturizer, first aide-kit, store bags in my car rather than my handbag.

My Favorite Cant Live Without Things in My Bag:

This is the Notepad I have in my Handbag. it fits nicely. Its perfect for when I am out and need to write something down, Like Phone Numbers, To-Do List, Post Idea's, Appointment's etc... When I get home I add it all to my Home To-Do list.

EOS Chapstick is always in my bag, car, night stand, Junk drawer etc... I love it.

A Little 2oz Bottle of Honey. Yes I know i little Funny. I love my Tea, But I love it so much more with a little Honey In it, But its crazy how many Places I go and they don't have any Honey So here I have it Problem Solved. Plus its just so cute!
