Possible? ”Their tarps are always clean and my home is always clean afterward. What I like best is their reliability and quality.” “I can trust them!” Dr. Evan Reasor Flue Season 527 3331 THE Chimney Professionals Stop using shampoo? Thanks to you, my beloved read- ers, I get tons of e-mail, much of it devoted to timesaving and money-saving tips. Most of the time, my reac- tion is a nod of approval. Often I ask myself, "Now, why didn't I think of that?!" And occasionally, I let out an audible "Eeeeeoooow!" Yes, I have received my fair share of tips that, quite frankly, gross me out. Today's first tip hit that third category. Stop using shampoo? Come on! But then I did as Barbara had and Googled "curly girl." Within minutes, I repented of my knee-jerk negative reaction. If I were blessed with curly hair, I just might be a convert. BE A CURLY GIRL. I have very curly hair, and I no longer use shampoo. After two people asked whether I were a "curly girl," I looked it up online and immediate- ly stopped using shampoo, which is what Lorraine Massey recommends in her book "Curly Girl." Instead, I clean my hair and scalp with condi- tioner only and follow up with a gel-type product, which I keep cold in the refrigerator. I no longer brush or blow-dry my hair, either. My curls never have looked better, and they last longer, too. My scalp does- n't itch anymore, and I get compli- ments from strangers and friends all the time. -- Barbara, District of Columbia ORGANIZED LEFTOVERS. I create individual meals with dinner leftovers. I put the meal on a plate and cover it with plastic wrap in the fridge, or I put it in an individual container and freeze it. The more table- ready the food is the like- lier my family is to eat it. It's also easy to reach in the freezer and toss a frozen meal in my lunch- box for work. -- Wendy, e-mail STEAMING THE CANDLE WAX. A full jar of melted scented pink and orange wax spilled on my light taupe carpet. I was amazed when it all came up by my placing a towel on each area and steaming it with my iron on high. What a won- der. I am so thankful. -- Cynthia, Florida Before you send that sofa to the trash heap, take off the fabric from the back. In most cases, that fabric is like new. You can use it to make throw pillows or valances, donate it or, if it's leather, make a purse with it. -- Glora, e- mail CABINET HANDLE Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate SUPER GLUE SEWING. While dressing for work one morning, I discovered that the crocheted lace at the shoulder seam of my top had come apart. I didn't have time to sew it, so I got out the Super Glue and dabbed it on the lace with the brush applicator. It reconnected easily. -- Bonnie, Pennsylvania SAVING SOFA FABRIC. PAINT JOB. I wanted to update the handles and knobs on our kitchen and bathroom cabinets but couldn't afford new ones. I removed the old brass fix- tures and bought a can of brushed nickel spray paint. I mounted them on some old foam board and sprayed them all. Our cabi- nets look updated and won- derful, and it only cost me $7. I bought the higher- grade paint, which covered 28 handles, pulls and knobs. -- Joan, South Carolina Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
