Cleaning can be tedious! I should know, I have 3 kids at home and when I clean after 5 minutes, it's all a big mess again! Some times it just hard to get motivated. If only I can afford to hire a cleaning help lol! anyway, Here's some tips for you and me!

Schedule Cleaning as A Job

hmm , I think we can do this. Think about it like blogging!I bet most of us think about blogging as a job huh? so we should think about cleaning the same way too! maybe we should prioritize the cleaning first just like having your own store. Before you open it to teh public, you make sure that everything is on display are organized and clean.
There's nothing like the feeling of a completely clean home—but you won't get it by cleaning in fits and starts! The pros don't quit until the job is done, and neither should we!. Schedule the job and stick to it to get the work done in record time. I wish there's an automatic alarm clock that wont stop beeping and yelling"Clean up! Clean up!" until your done! hmmm! maybe in the year 5000!

Get Motivated

Use appropriate motivators to energize cleaning sessions. Play upbeat music for an energy boost. Bookworms look forward to cleaning when a book-on-tape plays in the Walkman. Cleaning as a team with friends or family members can help you stay on task and ease the boredom of a cleaning session. I let my kids help !

Dress for Success

Okay, not the french maid custome but hey, if that makes you get motivated why not!! however, Professional cleaners dress for the job in comfortable, washable clothing designed for work. Check out their supportive shoes and kneepads. Goggles and gloves protect against chemicals.Clean catch-as-catch can and clothing tends to catch it! End the era of bleach-stained sweatshirts and dripping nightgowns. Set aside a "cleaning uniform", and wear it, right down to shoes, gloves and eye protection. So always think safety than sexy!!but you can do both!

Simplify Supplies

There's a reason the pros can tote all the products they need in one tray: they've simplified cleaning products. Professional cleaners carry:

• light-duty evaporating cleaner (glass cleaner or multi-surface cleaner)
• heavy-duty degreasing cleaner
• tile cleaner
• powdered abrasive cleanser

That's it! No soap scum remover, no special counter spray, no single-use products designed to clean only blinds or fans or walls. The pros know that these four simple products can handle any ordinary cleaning chore.

Take a page from the pros! You'll save money as well as time if you streamline cleaning products. Also invest in cleaning tools! don't buy those cheap ones!

Two Hands Are Better Than One

Professional cleaners don't work as if one arm is in a sling, and neither should you. Get in the habit of using both hands to attack cleaning tasks.

Spray a mirror with one hand, wipe it down with the other. Scrub counters with two sponges or cleaning cloths, not just one. Dusting goes twice as fast when a lambs wool duster in one hand cleans nooks and crannies while the feather duster in the other skims flat surfaces.

Pick It Up

Professional cleaners come to clean: counters, furniture, appliances and floors. They can't do the job if each horizontal surface in the home is covered with papers, toys, dirty dishes and just plain clutter.

Pretend that you've hired a high-priced cleaning crew. You wouldn't make them sweep the clutter to one side to do their job! Give yourself the same head start you give professional cleaners: pick up before you clean.

Think Teamwork

Two people make a bed four times faster than a single cleaner working alone. Watch the pros at work. Working in teams of two or three, they make short work of an average home.

Where family circumstances permit, make cleaning a family affair. Family members are more reluctant to mess up a clean house when they have been part of the cleaning effort!

Marinating quickly tenderizes meat and also adds additional flavor.

• Use roughly 1 to 2 cups of marinade for every 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of food. The marinade should completely surround the food. Cooked meat should never be returned to a cold marinade.
• A secret to tender, moist,tasty meat and fish is the cut you choose. The best cut for grilling steaks is a full one inch thick.
• Trim beef steaks to 1/8 inch fat--this reduces grease drippings to help minimize open flames.
  
• If you like your hamburgers juicy, go with ground beef that is about 15 to 20 percent fat.
  
• Have fish fillets cut from 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick--anything thinner will dry out too quickly.
  
• Pork chops should also be at least 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick--this cut is ready when the meat is no longer pink along the bone and when the juices run clear
• For direct cooking on a charcoal grill, make sure there is enough charcoal to extend in a single layer 1 to 2 inches beyond the area of the food on the grill. Pour briquettes into the grill to determine the quantity, then stack into a pyramid for lighting. For indirect cooking, food is placed over a drip pan and the briquettes are banked either to one or both sides of the pan.
• Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are given off during combustion, so never barbecue indoors as these odorless, toxic fumes may accumulate and cause death.
• When using charcoal, douse the coals with the least amount of starter fluid as possible to light the fire. If starter fluid is unavailable, try using regular salad oil. Wad a sheet of newspaper and pile the coals over it, then douse the coals with the salad oil. Light the paper as you would using normal starter fluid.
• When roasting or grilling with a BBQ pit closed, open a can of beer and place the beer over the hottest part of the fire. The beer will boil and super saturate the air inside the pit with water vapor, beer flavors and alcohol. This will help in keeping the roasting meats moist, while adding flavor to the meat.
• Whenever barbecuing, use tongs to turn the meat. A fork should never be used as it will punch holes in the meat and allow the natural juices to escape, causing the meat to lose flavor and become chewy.
• When grilling meats, it is usually best to turn the meat only once. When grilling meat to a medium or greater doneness, use the lid to assist in cooking. This will decrease the cooking time by applying heat to all sides of the meat at once.
• Tomato and/or sugar based BBQ sauces should be added only at the end of the grilling process, since these products will burn easily and are seldom considered an internal meat flavoring.
  

Casseroles:
Most casseroles can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated. Be sure and add 15 or 20 minutes to the cooking time to compensate.

Chilling Foods:
To chill foods quickly put them in your freezer for 20 to 30 minutes rather than longer in the refrigerator.

Food Stains in Plastic Storage Containers:
Use a baking soda paste (baking soda and water) and rub into the stain. You can then rinse with vinegar (optional) and wash normally. Another method is to place container outside on a nice sunny day and the sun actually bleaches the stain out. To avoid stains in the first place, spray container with cooking spray before putting things in it that stain i.e. spaghetti sauce.

Fried Food Odors:
Next time you fry foods, try placing a small cup of bleach nearby. The bleach absorbs much of the "fried" odor (that would otherwise linger for days!) Be sure to clearly mark the cup and keep it out of the reach of children.

Greasy Gravy:
A small amount of baking soda added to gravy will eliminate excess grease.

Keep Your Cutting Board From Slipping:
Place a thin layer of damp paper towels underneath to anchor the board to the work surface.

Lining Pans Means No Scrubbing:
Line baking pans with aluminum foil before you cook to avoid scrubbing pans afterwards. To line pans easily, turn pan upside down and press a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil around it. Remove foil. Flip the pan over and drop foil inside. Crimp edges of foil to rim of pan.

Microwave Filth: Food splatters all over the inside of your microwave and cooks itself on after time. To easily remove this mess, place a sponge soaked in water or just a dish filled with 1/2 cup water in the microwave. Cook on high heat for 2 minutes. The filth is now ready to be wiped right off - no scrubbing!

Microwave Odors:
Keep a cup of baking soda in the microwave between uses to keep potatoes from smelling like bacon or other unusual combinations!

Oil For Frying:
To effectively strain debris from used cooking oil, use a coffee filter placed in a funnel.

Oil Temperature:
To find out if oil is the proper temperature for frying foods:
For deep-fat frying,
drop a cube of white bread into the hot oil. If it browns evenly in 60 seconds the oil is 350-365 degrees, in 40 seconds, 365-382 degree, 20 seconds, 382-390 degrees.

For shallow frying,
the oil is hot enough if it is shimmering and rippling along the bottom of the pan. The most reliable way to gauge the temperature is to use a deep-fat thermometer.

Prevent Spattering While Sautéing:
To prevent spattering and burns while sautéing, tilt the pan away from you to pool the oil every time you add more food, then lay the pan flat again. You can also add a few sprinkles of salt to the pan to prevent spattering.

Smelly Cooking Hands: S
imply rub your hands over a stainless steel utensil under running water. This works especially well for the odor of garlic, onions or fish.

Soups:
Place a lettuce leaf in a pot of greasy soup or pan of greasy gravy - it'll absorb the grease - then, remove the leaf from the pot and discard. Place a raw potato in a pot of salty soup - it'll absorb some of the salt - then, remove the potato from the pot and discard.

Stuck-On Food in Pots, Pans, and Crockpots:
Fill the pan with water and place a fabric softener sheet in the water. Allow the pan to soak overnight. The food will wipe right out!

Taking Care Of Your Bathing Suit
After swimming in a pool, you should remove the chlorine from your suit (at least by rinsing in tap water) or by putting cool water (about a gallon) into a sink or container with a drop of chlorine remover (available at pet stores). Mix well and then place bathing suit into it and swish around. Allow to soak for several minutes and then remove. Rinse with lots of cool water and hang to let dry.

Removing Scorch Marks On White Shirts
Some scorch marks can be taken off white cotton by using 3 percent hydrogen peroxide. Apply to scorched area with an eye dropper until saturated. Leave on shirt for 20 minutes. If the stain still remains, repeat the process until it disappears. Rinse fabric in water.

Note: Some modern white fabrics have fluorescent brighteners, which react in the sun and may yellow; so read the care labels before treating white fabrics.

Getting Grease Stains Out of Silk
If you get a grease stain on your silk shirt, never fear! Just put baby powder over the stain and let it sit for a few minutes then dust off. VOILA! No more greasy mark!

Burnt Stuff on Iron
Rub iron with aluminum foil to remove burnt on starch, etc.

Stale laundry
smelly clothes after being left in the washing machine. If you leave the clothes in the washer for a day or more, especially in warm weather, they will smell bad. Rewashing with 1/2 cup of ammonia gets the smell out better than laundry detergent does

Mineral and Rust Stains
Add 1 cup of bottled lemon juice in the wash to remove discoloration from cotton laundry.

Getting candle wax out of carpets
Its easy... Just use a cloth or brown paper bag... And iron over the stain... The candle wax will then transfer to the cloth or bag... Just make sure to keep the iron in motion so as not to catch the bag on fire...

Cleaning Your Telephone
When you notice make-up and gunk on your phone and receiver, use an alcohol-soaked towelette to get it clean. Wipe weekly to prevent dirt and grime buildup on your phone.

Smelly Shoes?
Put some tea leaves into a pair of stockings and stuff each into a shoe. Leave for a day or two and the smell just vanishes.

Keep Drains Fresh Smelling
Give this a try: Pour 1/2 cup baking soda down the drain and follow with 1 cup vinegar. It will fizz up. Wait for about a minute and then let hot water run down the drain. If drain is seriously clogged, you may need to call a plumber.

Cleaning up broken glass
If a glass item breaks and tiny pieces are lying all over the floor, its safest to pick them up with a handful of wet cottonwool, even the tiniest shards which you cannot see will stick on the cotton wool. I find this more efficient than using a broom and pan

Dropped an egg on the floor?
Drop an egg on the floor?? Sprinkle it with salt, it should come up easy!

Removing Grease from Wallpaper
Apply baby powder to a clean powder puff. Rub in and the spot will disappear!

Getting Stickers Off Glass
If you've just bought new drinking glasses, you can remove those annoying price tags/stickers by spraying them with a lot of petroleum-based pre-wash spray or dab on baby oil. Let it sit for several minutes; then lift off or scrub with a nylon net scrubby until tag and glue are removed.

When I was younger this should have helped me lol! but I got over my anger and I don't even let people get into me! I let their stupidity go by just for the sake of me! Anyway, I found tis on mayo clinic. so enjoy reading! And thanks always for visiting mwah!

Anger management tips: Tame your temper

Controlling your temper isn't always easy. But these effective anger management techniques will help give you the upper hand.

If your outbursts, rages or bullying are negatively affecting relationships with family, friends, co-workers and even complete strangers, it's time to change the way you express your anger. You can take steps on your own to improve your anger management.

Anger management tips

Here are some anger management tips to help get your anger under control:

• Take a "time out." Although it may seem cliche, counting to 10 before reacting, or leaving the situation altogether, really can defuse your temper.
• Do something physically exerting. Physical activity can provide an outlet for your emotions, especially if you're about to erupt. Go for a brisk walk or a run, swim, lift weights or shoot baskets.
• Find ways to calm and soothe yourself. Practice deep-breathing exercises, visualize a relaxing scene, or repeat a calming word or phrase to yourself, such as "take it easy." You can also listen to music, paint, journal or do yoga.
• Once you're calm, express your anger as soon as possible so that you aren't left stewing. If you simply can't express your anger in a controlled manner to the person who angered you, try talking to a family member, friend, counselor or another trusted person.
• Think carefully before you say anything so that you don't end up saying something you'll regret. Write a script and rehearse it so that you can stick to the issues.
• Work with the person who angered you to identify solutions to the situation.
• Use "I" statements when describing the problem to avoid criticizing or placing blame. For instance, say "I'm upset you didn't help with the housework this evening," instead of, "You should have helped with the housework." To do otherwise will likely upset the other person and escalate tensions.
• Don't hold a grudge. Forgive the other person. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to behave exactly as you want.
• Use humor to release tensions, such as imagining yourself or the other person in silly situations. Don't use sarcasm, though — it's just another form of unhealthy expression.
• Keep an anger log to identify the kinds of situations that set you off and to monitor your reactions.
• Practice relaxation skills. Learning skills to relax and de-stress can also help control your temper when it may flare up.

Sticking with anger management skills

It may take some time and intense effort to put these tips into practice when you're facing situations that typically send you into a rage. In the heat of the moment, it can be hard to remember your coping strategies.

You may need to keep something with you that serves as a reminder to step back from the situation and get your anger under control. For instance, you may want to keep a small, smooth stone in your pocket or a scrap of paper with your tips written down. With due diligence, these anger management techniques will come more naturally and you'll no longer need such reminders.

Getting professional anger management help

You can practice many of these anger management strategies on your own. But if your anger seems out of control, is hurting your relationships or has escalated into violence, you may benefit from seeing a psychotherapist or an anger management professional. Role playing in controlled situations, such as anger management classes, can help you practice your techniques.

in other words........ COO L ka lang!!! hahaha!! thanks again for visiting mwah!

easy and cheap tricks!!!!

• Parsley is rich in chlorophyll. It is a major ingredient in leading breath fresheners, such as Clorets and Certs. Don't spend lots of money for internal breath fresheners, eat parsley!

• Create your own tinted lip gloss. Simply mix any of your favorite lipsticks with a dab of Vaseline.

• A little bit of red or orange in the center of the lips makes them look fuller.

• To make the whites of your eyes look brighter, use a light blue pencil under the eyes. Blue eye shadow lightly applied under the eyes works just as well.

• When coloring hair - Color hair that has not been washed for 1 day. The natural hair oils will assist in making the hair color application more successful. The color will cling better to hair that is not dry.

• To alleviate puffy, swollen eyes place bags of frozen peas under the eyes.

• Degrease oily hair with witch hazel when you don't have time to shampoo. Apply to roots with a cotton ball.

• To help relieve dandruff, add 30 plain aspirin to a full bottle of your regular shampoo. Apply and rinse as usual.

Wrinkles Causes:

*Smoking
Skin type (people with light-colored skin and blue eyes are more susceptible to sun damage)
*Heredity (some families wrinkle more)
*Hairstyle (depending on how much skin is covered by hair and protected from the sun)
*Dress (again, by determining which skin is exposed)
*Occupational and recreational sun exposure over the course of many years.

Wrinkles Symptoms :

*The skin gets lined and creased and starts sagging. Wrinkles basically appear on the face, neck and hands. It is a form of damage, in which the skin loses its firmness and elasticity.

Wrinkles Home remedies :
*Application of leftover egg whites at the bottom of the shell to the problematic area serves as an effective home remedy for wrinkles.
* For the sagging skin under the eyes or on the throat, apply some odorless castor oil.
*Take some coconut oil and massage on the wrinkled skin.
* Eat 1 tsp of shredded ginger along with a few drops of honey every morning.
* Rub the core of a pineapple all over your face for sometime and leave it for 10 to 15 minutes

Wrinkles Prevention
*Avoid spending too much time in the direct sun, especially during the hours when the sun's rays are harshest (between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM). Ultraviolet (UV) rays cause many wrinkles. Sunblock helps, but it doesn't block out all the damaging UV rays that cause wrinkles to the skin. Still, if you are outside a lot, be sure to wear a sunblock with sun protection factor (SPF) 15 or higher and reapply often (every 2 to 3 hours). Always reapply after swimming or playing sports that make you sweaty!
*Don't go to the tanning salon. The UV light from tanning booths is just as damaging as the sun's - and sometimes worse.
*Don't smoke! Smoking robs your skin of precious moisture and causes premature (early) wrinkles. (Did you ever notice that most heavy smokers have wrinkles around their mouths?)
*Drink water.
*Moisturize dry skin, especially during months when the air is drier.

Sore Throat Prevention

Parents should be concerned about a sore throat that does not improve after a sip of water after arising from sleep, or one that is accompanied by a headache, high fever, stomach ache, vomiting, or severe tiredness. The presence of a red, somewhat rough-to-the-touch rash is also a concern, as strep infection along with a rash is known as scarlet fever (no more dangerous than strep throat without a rash, but this is a term that continues to strike fear into parents' hearts!). An urgent call to the doctor's office is appropriate if the child has extreme difficulty swallowing that causes drooling, or is having difficulty breathing.

I posted a home remedies for the Bo on my last post. You should check it out for your info. Anyway, here's a post about what you can do to avoid having funky odor!

Body Odor Preventions:

1.Never repeat unwashed clothes, especially undergarments during summer, it will aggravate the odor.
2.Wax your armpits regularly.
3.People who wear shoes for long time complain of foot odor. It is caused by rapid bacteria growth due to excess sweating of feet. To avoid foot odor wear cotton socks, never use socks repeatedly. Wash your feet properly. If possible wear open foot wear like leather sandals. All the above mentioned remedies for body odor can be used for preventing foot odor

4.Powder the offensive area. Sprinkling some baking soda, talc, baby powder or cornstarch under the arms or across the body will absorb and mask many of the odors produced.

5.Get the odor out of your clothes. Wash your clothes with an odor-fighting detergent. If necessary, take a change of clothes or underwear with you to work or school.

6.Rub on some alcohol. You may want to try directly applying a splash or two of some rubbing alcohol, with hazel or hydrogen peroxide during the day just as some extra maintenance,. These substances help reduce the number of odor-causing bacteria. Aim your splash where bacteria hang out—under the arms, for instance.

7.Avoid spicy, pungent foods. Frequent consumption of foods containing garlic, curry and cumin can cause some overpowering odors to emanate from your pores—often up to 24 hours after consumption. Try cutting back on these spices and see if it helps.huh know about this!I am a fan of spicy foods but I don't have bo no!

8.Trim underarm and body hair. "Since men are the biggest offenders, they should follow the example of women and shave their armpits," says Dr. Targovnik. "The hairs trap a lot of the sweat and odor and provide hiding places for the bacteria."

9.To overcome the problem of unpleasant body odor, use antibacterial soap or deodorant soap while bathing.

10.During summers, it’s a good idea to wear cotton clothes that soak sweat.
Eating habits also tend to affect body odor. Avoid consuming refined foods; hydrogenated oils and other processed foods. Eat healthy food that contains loads of fiber, whole grains, wheat, soy products and green leafy veggies.

11.To combat the unpleasant armpit odor apply cider vinegar. It serves as the best body odor home remedy treatment.

12.Applying baking soda on the underarms helps to kill bacteria and also aids in absorbing sweat.

13.In the bathing water, add a few cups of tomato juice and soak yourself in water for about 15 minutes.

You know we people want to be belong!w/ friends, lovers and even just around people in our community. Of course one barrier to reach that goal is Funky odor!Even though how nice the person is,I bet they couldn't stand being around w/the person who has body odor! I knew girls and guys who has body odor and sometime we get scared to tell them, we usually are scared to hurt or insult them! But sometimes, you just have to be blunt in telling them! I have no idea if they can really smell themselves or not! I know I can smell me, if I get stinky but I guess for some reason either they lost their sense of smell or simply they just don't care! So if you're one of the people who has BO, keep reading this post! this ones for u!

Body Odor Causes:

Human sweat itself is largely odorless. The principal cause of body odor are bacteria thriving in hot, humid environments such as the human underarm, which has a high density of sweat glands and is relatively occluded. The armpits are among the consistently warmest areas on the surface of the human body, and sweat glands provide moisture. Armpit hair adds to the odor because of the increased surface area.
Hot drinks, caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods can all cause excessive sweating. Since sweat and bacteria equate body odor.

Body Odor Home remedies :

If your body odor persists despite good hygiene, your problem may be clogged pores. When your skin can't properly eliminate body wastes, bad body odor can result. Gently dry-brushing your skin just before every shower exfoliates the dead skin that traps those odor-causing wastes. You'll find body brushes in most drugstores. If you brush with long, gentle strokes moving toward your heart, you'll also improve circulation, which will help your body detoxify more efficiently.

Some easy and useful home remedy to get rid of body odor:

Here's some cooking tips for you!!Enjoy!

Storing Cheese:
Store cheese in your refrigerator, which approximates the
temperature of aging rooms. Keep it wrapped tightly in plastic,
away from air. Air helps mold grow on cheese. If you get a little
mold on the outside, just cut it off. The English say if mold
won't eat your cheddar it can't taste very good.
Bring cheese to room temperature before melting. Melt cheese
over a low heat to help prevent toughening and separation of
oils and liquids.
Most ripened or aged cheese is low in moisture content and
can be frozen without drastic flavor and texture changes. Thaw
slowly in the refrigerator for 24 hours or more. If frozen for
several months, the cheese may dry out somewhat and become
crumbly when thawed

How to use Chopsticks:
Place the first chopstick so that thicker part rests at the
base of your thumb and the thinner part rests on the lower side
of your middle fingertip. Bring your thumb forward so that it
traps the stick firmly in place. At least two or three inches
of chopstick should extend beyond your fingertip. Relax.
Now position the other chopstick so that it is held against
the side of your index finger by the end of your thumb.
Tap the ends of both sticks on the plate, while holding them
at a slight angle to the table. Allow them to slide just a
little so that the ends line up. Place a little pressure on
the top chopstick. It will pivot on your index finger just
above the second knuckle. Remember: the bottom chopstick is
stationary. The tip of the top chopstick will move towards
the tip of the bottom chopstick.Encourage this. Hold those
tips together firmly enough to grasp a piece of food and
lift it off the plate. Place delicately into your waiting
mouth. Although there's no need to stoop, you may wish to
lean over your plate a bit during your first attempts.
It might save you a clean-up!
===========================================================
About Honey:
To substitute honey for sugar in recipes, start by substituting
up to half of the sugar called for. With a little experimentation,
honey can replace all the sugar in some recipes.

When baking with honey, remember the following:
Reduce any liquid called for by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used.
Add l/2 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey used.
Reduce oven temperature by 25 F to prevent over-browning.

Because of its high fructose content, honey has a higher
sweetening power than sugar. This means you can use less honey
than sugar to achieve the desired sweetness.

When measuring honey, coat the measuring cup with non-stick
cooking spray or vegetable oil before adding the honey.
The honey will slide right out.

To retain honey's wonderfully luxuriant texture, always store
it at room temperature; never in the refrigerator. If your honey
becomes cloudy, don't worry. It's just crystallization, a natural
process. Place your honey jar in warm water until the crystals
disappear. If you're in a hurry, place it in a microwave-safe
container and heat it in the microwave on HIGH for 2-3 minutes,
stirring every 30 seconds. Remember, never boil or scorch honey.

Hello heres some tips for you people!

Save that soap
Use legs/feet of old pantyhose/nylons to put small pieces of bar soap into-keep outdoors near faucet to wash hands, etc. after being outdoors before coming indoors.

Salt you napkin
Sprinkle table salt on a napkin to keep a wet glass from sticking to it.

Crispy Onions
Sprinkle dried onions on your sandwich before you put it in your lunchbox . By lunch they will be crisp and delicious.

Burned popcorn in microwave
Similar to the tip already posted about how to get rid of odors in plastic food containers by stuffing them with crunched up old newspaper pages ... this works to get the smell of burned popcorn out of a microwave oven too.

Flip your lid
When opening a can of soup or similar. Don't cut the top all the way off. Leave a little of the top attached to the can, after you pour out the contents you can push the lid back into the can. This will help eliminate you getting cuts from the lid.

It's a dishwasher tang
If your dishwasher has stains just put some Tang where your detergent usually goes and run it through a cycle. This makes most dishwashers as clean as they were when they were brand new. Try it, you will be very pleased.

Keep your freezer full
If you can’t keep your freezer full, fill plastic milk containers with water leaving room at the top for expansion. This creates a thermal mass that will help maintain freezer temperature, lower your electric bill and prolong the life of your refrigerator or freezer.
