Hi there,
Every week we read through countless articles to bring you the very best, and let me tell you, we’ve got some real treasures. These three pieces from our Tipsbulletin Newsletter rose to the top because they're the kind of wisdom and inspiration that stays with you long after you've finished reading.

In this recap:

  • Getting Stubborn Sticker Residue Off Glass

  • How to Shrink a Shirt That's Too Big

  • Keeping Squirrels Away

  • Top Tip: Glowing Chrome

CLEANING

We've all peeled off a price tag only to find that stubborn, gummy ghost it left behind. It turns out, the adhesive industry uses over 200 different formulas, which is why some stickers cling like they're part of the glass forever. These 10 hacks tackle every type of residue, from vintage jars to new picture frames, so any glass surface can shine again.

Your K-Cup Has Been Sitting in a Warehouse for Months

That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.

Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.

Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends — all Keurig®-compatible — and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you.

New customers get 15% off their first order — applied automatically, no code needed.

CLEANING

We've all pulled a favorite shirt from the dryer only to find it could now fit a teenager—but the reverse is possible too. Check out 8+ surprisingly simple methods to intentionally shrink a shirt to the perfect size , whether it stretched out over time or arrived too big in the first place.

WILDLIFE CONTROL

Squirrels can strip a bird feeder bare in under an hour and dig up freshly planted bulbs faster than you can say "garden pest." These 17+ simple strategies help protect your yard without harming the wildlife.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Toothpaste Doubles as Chrome Polish

Non-gel white toothpaste works as a gentle abrasive that removes tarnish and light scratches. Squeeze a dime-sized amount onto a damp cloth and rub it onto the chrome in straight lines, not circles, for about 30 seconds per section.

Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry immediately to prevent new water spots. Skip whitening or gel formulas because they contain chemicals that can dull the finish. The mild abrasives in regular toothpaste smooth the surface without damaging the chrome plating.

THANK YOU!

As you close this chapter of the week, we hope you're feeling ready to embrace whatever comes next with fresh energy and maybe even a new trick or two up your sleeve . We'll be back in your inbox on Monday with more inspiration, but for now, go enjoy every moment.
Have a fabulous weekend,
