Free Mini Greenhouse for the Price of a Rotesserie Chicken

If you are really into gardening and you start your flowers and veggies from seeds, you don't have to spend a fortune on those expensive mini-greenhouses that are sold in many gardening stores.

My co-worker gave me a really good tip today and I thought I'd share. You know the containers that the cooked rotesseries come in at many grocery stores, well those make the perfect mini greenhouses!

All you do (after you eat the rotesserie) is clean the dome, and then add some moisture control miracle grow in the bottom, plant your seeds, cover with the lid, and watch your plants grow! Many Sam's Club stores will even give you the domes for free if you simply ask for them!

I don't know how many times I've thrown out the rotesserie domes, never thinking that they would make great greenhouses, and I am a Gardener at heart! They are also great for teaching the kids how plants grow.

Happy Gardening!

Learn How to Style Your Own Hair and Save BIG!

How much are you spending on your hair by going to the salon every 2 weeks or every month? When I used to go to the salon every 2 weeks I would spend $35 for a blow and go ($70/month) and when I needed a perm it would be ($83 - every 6 weeks). So you can see how that adds up.

Over the years, I have learned how to care for my hair and I've experimented with different styles and curls. I honestly believe that I can do my hair better than the licensed hair stylist. Guess who styled my hair in my profile picture? MOI!

By doing my own hair, my hair is growing like a plant that gets plenty of water, and now I only spend $5.99 every 6 weeks for the same perm that I would pay $83 for by going to the salon. And don't think that your stylist isn't upselling other services. "Girl, it's time to get those ends trimmed" or "I think you could use a little more color" or "Your hair is a little overprocessed, you are going to need a hair treatment." You know...all those "extra" services add up.

So, if you want to save money or if you are in desperate need of that spa treatment like most of us moms are, forego the salon one month and treat yourself to a spa day. Or do like me and forego the salon forever!
