a better mouse pad

simply use craft foam sheets, you can buy foam sheets just about anywhere...i use size 11.8 x 17.7 sheets...you can purchase about any color and for about 50 cents a sheet....ergonomic for hands and no more moving mouse off mouse pad...

i am a lefty, so i set up my mouse on left side and of course if you are right handed set up on the reverse side...craft foam sheets are thin and allow hand to rest in a more level direction and as you can see, you have plenty of mouse moving room....good idea for people that have carpel tunnel in the wrest

so handy! I bought a pack of craft foam

no more baby oil...please

how to shorten heels on high heel shoes

how shorten heel on high heel shoes

a better way to shorten heels without cutting the heels off........ if you decide to reverse the changes it can be done......benefits are keeping the elevation and look of shoe, front of shoe has patting for comfort, and it cost less than sending the shoe to the shoe repair shoppe.

shoes that can be shortened... high heel shoes with at least a 1/16 in. wide on the bottom of heel.... test shoe on the table top.... put the shoe on the table, front of the shoe should sit almost flat on table, if the front toe of the shoe curves up to much, you can't alter

things you will need:

matching cheap flip flops, i am using black, my soles are black
 use E6000 glue
Popsicle stick for spreading glue
white paper ( news paper will rub ink on shoes)

2 strong hair pony tail bands

blue masking tape (the blue leaves less residue on shoes ) if working on Swede or fabric shoes you should cover top of shoe with paper or cloth before wrapping with tape.

razor blade or razor knife
1/2 sheet of course #80 sandpaper 

first cut flip flops, cut straight across, right in front of the two back holes...if shoe is larger, cut longer.

 use the front part of flip flop... then wipe with alcohol, the flip flop portion and and the bottom of shoe...allow for ample time for alcohol to dry..... then stuff paper in the shoe.

apply glue on bottom of shoe, spread on first coat and let it dry a little, till it is tacky and spread on flip flop, let it dry till tacky

Aline the two pieces together, strap with pony tail band

 wrap masking tape as tight as you can get around the shoe, squeeze foam while wrapping and make sure to wrap the back of curve tight....after wrapping squeeze to get air bubbles out and check for any gaps, if there is gaps use more tape at the gap.....wait 4 hours to dry

cut tape downward on to flip flip, careful not to cut on the shoe...then peel tape off

trim with razor knife close to the shoe sole being careful not to cut into shoe and do not angle while cutting...sit the shoe standing up on table, cut in a down direction.

next roll up sand paper and sand in a side direction until smooth...only and on flop flop

wipe with alcohol to get the tape sticky off..then fold a scrap piece of flip flop and rub off any remaining glue

finished

how to prevent bra from irritating under the breast

is your bra irritating under the breast

there is a easy way to prevent this from happening...during the warmer months of the year, some of the reasons for the irritation is sweat, sometimes even more under the breast, and another could be the type of material bra is made with....

to help prevent irritation:

apply antiperspirant deodorant under the breast....this does two things, keeps you from sweating and and creates a bearer between your skin and the bra.

wear cotton, cotton lace and or shear bras

don't use softeners when washing bras and rinse bras in vinegar during the rinse cycle..

wash bras after each use...ALWAYS WEAR A CLEAN BRA

my hair curls better when it is dirty

have you heard, when women say,"my hair curls better when it is dirty"......the real fact is:
it is not because hair is dirty, it is because your hair is completely dry
right after you shampoo, even blowing your hair dry...hair may feel dry, but some moisture is still locked in the hair...especially if you use a conditioner
so when shampooing hair, use a small amount of conditioner and for fine hair use no conditioner, make sure hair is completely rinsed...,use a treatment once a week to remove conditioner build up, because a build up can cause hair not to curl at all.... when blow drying, and when hair feels dry continue drying a little longer.... let hair air dry for about an hour if you have time
then curl!
