Cleaning mini blinds are a pain to clean. Taking them down, finding the right cleaner to put on them and then, finding the scrub brush to get them clean.
Well, with an occasional wipe down over the weeks, you may only have to pull them down once or twice a year, especially in areas where the can collect a lot of grease and stickiness.
Put the blinds in the tub and spray with that famous spray bubble cleaner, let them sit for 5-10 minutes. Then, just rinse.
It really eats away at the grime without hurting the blinds.

Stupid Tip of the Day: Brushing your Hair is Damaging.
Taking a tip from The Brady Bunch can be a bit harsh on the hair if you are brushing a hundred strokes with the wrong brush. But, not brushing your hair can cause damage. We lose strands everyday, and bushing it releases those strays from tangling and knotting around healthy locks.
It’s important to brush your hair out before wetting. Getting rid of knots while the hair is dry, is actually more gentle since you can help de-tangle it easily. Like any other knot in this world, wet knots tend to be tighter, so they can pull out more healthy hair. So before you wash it, take a brush to it.
And, a good side note: keep a brush in your bag to brush it out when you take a trip to the salon. Your locks will be grateful.

So I was asked what I thought about B.B. Cream, and the truth is, I like it. I don’t wear heavy make up, and for me, foundation can be heavy at times. So B.B. gives me all I need in one. And I like simple. Not all B.B.’s are built the same. White tea is the beneficial part of most B.B.’s. White tea protects the skin from pollutants. With the other combined ingredients you will get moisturizer, a protector, an even skin tone, coverage and usually anti-aging benefits from a good B.B.
Watch out for too many filler ingredients, going natural is best.
B.B. Cream is easy to apply. Put it on a clean face lightly. I dab it on instead of sweeping it goes right where it needs to without blocking pores. And that is my foundation for the day, I’ll use a concealer on top, if necessary. It is safe to apply foundation, blush and powder over top of it and still not have harmful effects. But overall, I can say, yes, I like it. And, my skin has thanked me for the continuous moisture and protection. The younger your skin is, greater the benefits of when you start to protect it, the healthier it will always look.
