How to hand wash your clothes in a bathtub or a storage bin

 How to hand wash your clothes in a bathtub or a storage bin

Handwashing your clothes is something that some people are ashamed to talk about.  If you have needed to wash clothes and you did not have a washing machine this process can seem a bit daunting.  This method is a great way to effectively clean your clothes and sometimes it will get your clothes cleaner than a washing machine.

In the past, I washed clothes by hand because I was broke and this helped me save a lot of money.  Although I now have washing machines, I still like to use this method because it is therapeutic to me.  I still don't like to wring the clothes by hand, so I do have a clothing spin dryer.  This really helps to make this chore so much easier. 

If you have had a power outage, and you still needed to wash your clothes, you just need to have laundry soap a new plunger that you do not use for your toilet, and use your bathtub or a storage bin.  Use anything that you have on hand.  

There are people who like to live off the land and this is the only way that they wash clothes.  Below I am listing the spin dryer that I use and also the clothes drying rack.  Make sure that you have everything on hand that you need to dry your clothes.

What is a dental aligner?

There are affiliate links in this blog post but all opinions are mine and mine alone.  I will receive a small commission if a purchase is made.

I Just Started my Alignerco dental journey, and I had a difficult start.  Since I received my dental aligners, the journey seems like it is getting a bit easier. 

Every two weeks I have to start another tray and although they are tight the first day or so, the pain is bearable.  I thought that I wouldn't do well with eating, brushing my teeth, and the aligners back in my mouth. 

The only problem that I seem to be having is putting the aligners in after having lunch at the mall.  You have to be careful to not leave your aligners in a napkin because they will be tossed out.

I am finding that there are a few changes happening when I change into a new tray.  This is going to be a long process that is for sure.

I have been using different products for the care of these aligners and to keep my mouth clean and fresh.  Flossing every day is really important. I use string floss but I also use a water flosser.

Smile Brilliant has a great dental probiotic that has been very effective at preventing me from having bad breath so I make that a part of my routine every day.

My aligners are made of plastic so I have to be very careful about how I handle them.  I have been instructed not to rinse them under hot water because it could ruin them.    

Below are some questions that people ask about dental aligners.

Why are teeth aligners so expensive?

They are expensive because people have to be trained to make the aligners and it takes a certain skill to get it right to fit your teeth correctly.  At-home aligners are a little cheaper than going to your dentist and they still work.

Are aligners safe?

They are safe but you must visit your dentist to make sure that your teeth are healthy enough to use aligners.

Which clear aligners are the best?

I use Alignerco so I don't know about the other clear aligner companies but Alignerco is the least expensive option.  They also have a day and a nighttime option. So if you don't want to wear dental aligners all day you can get the nighttime aligners and only wear them at night. This is good for people who are busy so they do not have to change their aligners throughout the day.

How long do aligners take to be made?

When I finally got approved to get my aligners, it took four or more weeks for them to be sent to me. 

Do you like Alignerco?

I was very upset with Alignerco at first because taking the impressions and getting them right was a pain in the neck.  Honestly, I didn't think that I would like them at all.  The process is easier once you receive your aligners.  So far, I am pretty pleased with them.  If this changes, I will give you all an update.

If you have tried Alignerco and finished your treatment, please comment and let me know what you think about the company and how your teeth turned out.

Plus Size Macy’s Last Act And Macy’s BackStage Haul


Macy's Last Act is the best way to refresh your wardrobe with clothing that is cute and so affordable.  I have been able to get clothes for under three dollars.  I make sure that I shop out of season, to get the best quality for very little money.

It takes a long time to go through their racks, but it is definitely well worth it! They also have a shoe department.  Finding name-brand shoes is very easy.  Now, since the fall is about to come in, I will be concentrating on sandals for the spring and summer next year.

I bought beautiful dresses for my daughter for under ten dollars.  It is fun to see what I can score for the day.  You can bring twenty-five dollars, and have a nice amount of clothes.  If you have a Macy's department store with Macy's Last Act or Backstage please go and see what they have.  You will be very surprised!

What 5 Household Products Or Gadgets Literally Changed Your Life

 What 5 Household Products Or Gadgets Literally Changed Your Life?

There are affiliate links in this post which mean that we will receive a small commission if a purchase is made.  

I am a gadget lover, and I love searching online to find items that I can save to my watchlist or put on my wishlist.  Being an apartment dweller comes with some restrictions, such as, not being able to have a washing machine in my apartment being a biggie for me, because I absolutely hate laundromats.  Having limited space can be a challenge and sometimes gadgets can be very expensive. 

I try to carefully plan purchases in advance, and over the years I have acquired many gadgets to make my life easier.  I work at home, so I wanted to make that process easy and make sure that I had the right printer, paper, stamps, and whatever else I needed to make my business run smoothly.  It isn't wise to wait until you run out of things that are needed right away. 

There are products that I had a second thought about because they were a bit expensive, but then I started to think long-term about the benefits and the fact that they would save me money over time.

So here are the 3 household products that literally changed my life.

  1. I purchased a twin-tub washing machine that allowed me to wash my clothes in my apartment and it is very easy to store.
  2. My Canon Pixma MG 3620 Printer because I no longer have to go to the library or pharmacy to make copies and I can print important information and send it out immediately, and this assists me with getting more work done.
  3. Nikon Coolpix L830 Camera. I am able to get more work because of this camera and it has definitely been a gamechanger for me. I use it for YouTube and for blogging and I really love it.
  4. Apple iPad Air because I am able to take my work with me on the go and I am able to edit my videos faster.  It took me a long time to jump on the Ipad train but I am so glad that I did.
  5. My Acer 315 Chromebook because it works faster than a traditional windows laptop and does more things than I thought I wouldn't be able to do on a Chromebook.  It makes my job much easier and it is lightweight too.

If there are products that will make life easier for you; take a chance and buy them or save monthly towards the purchase if they are very expensive. 

Go to review sites to find out the quality of the products that you want to buy. 

Before you buy the product or gadget check out different sites to find out which one has the lowest prices.

Buy office supplies in bulk if you work at home.  This will save you a lot of money in the long run.
