Hi there,
Every week in the Tipsbulletin Newsletter, we share stories and tips that matter to real people living real lives, and some just shine brighter than others. This weekend, we're spotlighting the three articles that sparked the most conversation, inspiration, and those beautiful "aha" moments. Here's what you don't want to miss.
In this recap:
How to Bring Shrunken Clothes Back to Life
Banishing Hard Water Buildup from Your Faucets
Natural Ways to Eliminate Roaches at Home

HOUSEHOLD
We've all pulled a favorite sweater from the dryer only to find it could now fit a toddler—but that shrunken garment doesn't have to stay that way . This guide walks through 7+ super-easy ways to restore clothes to their original size, from the baby shampoo soak to the conditioner stretch technique.

CLEANING
Hard water leaves behind stubborn white buildup that can make even the newest faucet look decades old, but most homeowners don't realize the solution is already sitting in their pantry. These five methods tackle calcium deposits without harsh chemicals, and one uses an ingredient that was originally discovered as a cleaning agent by accident in a 19th-century French vineyard.
BUG CONTROL
We once heard a pest control expert admit that roaches can survive a month without food but only a week without water, which explains why they love kitchens and bathrooms so much. These 8+ easy strategies tackle the problem at its source and help reclaim your home from cockroaches without spending hundreds on professional services.
TIP OF THE WEEK
Always Have Softened Butter
Fill the base of a butter bell with cold water up to the fill line, then pack softened butter into the inverted lid and snap it into place. Change the water every two to three days to keep bacteria at bay.
The water creates an airtight seal that keeps butter spreadable at room temperature for up to 30 days without refrigeration. The seal blocks oxygen, which causes butter to go rancid.
