Whitener

Everybody likes to have white teeth. The cost of having them whitened at the dentist's office is very expensive. There are a lot of over the counter kits and toothpastes advertising white teeth but one really thrifty whitener is already in your cabinets. Peroxide, baking soda and a small amount of toothpaste mixed together works really well. Some of you may have seen these pins on Pinterest giving the ingredients. Here is one of them.



Put a tiny bit of toothpaste into a small cup, mix in one teaspoon baking soda plus one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide, and half a teaspoon water. Thoroughly mix then brush your teeth for two minutes. Remember to do it once a week until you have reached the results you want. Once your teeth are good and white, limit yourself to using the whitening treatment once every month or two @ The Beauty ThesisThe Beauty Thesis.

Thrifty Purse Helper

Girls, we know what it is like to have all those cute purses but inside they are nothing but a big black hole. While we really like all the"cute", we really don't like everything we need all the way in the bottom of it. So here is a thrifty solution. Get a couple of clear cosmetic bags and put your little stuff in them so they don't get lost in the bottom of your "cute" purse. At least you will have things corralled so you can minimize your digging. Target or Walmart carry them and they are only a dollar or so. Dollar General may have them as well. These will save you so much time and frustration.  

Happy Thrifty to You!

 

 

 

                                                 

Marker Board Frame Idea

While shopping at the Goodwill Outlet store where you pay by the pound instead of the item, I picked up 2 frames ($4.99 total cost).They did not have any glass in them but the wood design was interesting.  While I had been trying to figure out what to do with them,Thrifty Honey brought home a dry erase marker board they were throwing out at his work. He was able to cut out 2 pieces of the board to fit in the frames. I added a burlap chevron bow, blinged out with an old pair of clip earrings, I picked up at the flea market ($3.00). Total project $7.99 plus a couple of hugs and kisses for Thrifty Honey. The smaller one fits right into the cookbook holder and it is really good for those "almost forgotten" grocey items. Thrifty honey attached the larger one to the door of "Studio B" to catch all those future ideas before they get away. Here's hoping you will look at old frames in a new way.

 

Thrifty "Framing" to You!
