Hi there,
Happy Saturday! We've spent the week bringing you daily inspiration through our Tipsbulletin newsletter, and now it's time to celebrate the cream of the crop. These articles rose to the top because they touched our hearts, sparked our curiosity, and gave us those "aha" moments we all crave.
In this recap:
Simple Recipes for Sparkling Bathtubs
Banish Mildew Smell From Towels for Good
Does Baking Soda Actually Kill Roaches?
Top Tip: Rescue Your Filthy Phone
CLEANING
We once watched a friend transform her grimy tub using nothing but baking soda and vinegar, and the results were so stunning that we started experimenting with homemade cleaners ourselves . These seven recipes prove that a sparkling bathroom doesn't require harsh chemicals or a big budget.
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PRIME PROMETICS
Six mature-friendly shades. One mascara that actually stays put.
Most mascaras promise length… then leave you with smudges, flakes, and clumps by lunchtime.
That’s why so many 50+ women are switching to PrimeLash.
It’s a tubing mascara designed for your lashes, wrapping each one to lift, define, and separate...even the ones that might be too small to see.
And when it’s time to take PrimeLash off? It slides right off with warm water. No rubbing or irritation.
From everyday black to soft brown, plus bold shades like Emerald, Burgundy, and Mulberry… there’s a color for every kind of day.
Get longer-looking lashes with zero smudge. Finally.
CLEANING
We've all pulled a load of towels from the washer only to catch that unmistakable sour smell—the one that somehow survives the wash cycle and clings to every fiber. These seven proven methods tackle mildew odor at its source, so bath time feels fresh again.
BUG CONTROL
Cockroaches can survive for weeks without their heads, but that doesn't mean anyone wants to share a home with them. We've gathered five straightforward tips that work fast and require no special equipment.
TIP OF THE WEEK
Your Phone is Dirtier Than a Toilet Seat
Turn off your phone completely before cleaning to avoid accidental taps and electrical issues. Mix a solution of 60% water and 40% isopropyl alcohol (70% concentration works best), then lightly dampen a microfiber cloth—never spray directly on the screen.
Wipe the entire surface, including the back, sides, and camera lens, using gentle circular motions for about 20 seconds. The alcohol evaporates quickly and kills 99.9% of germs without leaving streaks or damaging the coating that repels fingerprints.
