The bathroom doesn’t have to smell unpleasant. Adding a couple drops of vanilla or your favorite essential oil to your toilet paper tube can freshen bathroom air when it’s most needed, if you know what we’re saying. Just don’t start getting any ideas about baking cookies in the bathroom to keep things smelling fresh and appealing!

Use this coffee filter shoe freshener hack to keep your shoes nice and fresh. Fill a coffee filter with baking soda, tie shut with twine. You can also put a couple drops of essential oil to bring it up a notch. Put the little baking soda filled sachets in your shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Copper Curtain Rods
I saved a lot of money on curtain rods by using copper pipes, L brackets, electrical hardware to hold the rods. I spray painted the hardware with copper paint. I bought 2″ rings with clips from Amazon and bought curtain material then cut it and hemmed all the way around.
Vacation Plant Watering with Wine Bottles
Don’t have a house-sitter to take care of all your house plants and container plants outside? Don’t panic! Grab a wine bottle (if it’s not empty, drink that wine up!), rinse it clean, and fill it with water. If you’re feeling extra motivated, you can even mix in a little plant fertilizer. Then quickly flip the bottle upside down and jam it into the soil. Voila! Your plants will receive a steady soak from the bottle while you’re gone. Just don’t vacation too long, or your plants might chug all the bottles dry!
