• “Mineral oil will take off a fake tattoo nicely. Use it liberally on a cotton ball just before bath time. My kids love fake tattoos, and this way, they don’t stay on too long.” — T.L. in Montana

• “An easy way to store plastic grocery bags so that they are handy when you need them is to stuff them into a tissue box. They come out one at a time and are easily stored in a cabinet or even in your car.” — P.W. in Missouri

• “I have one of those wax-melt burners that uses tea lights to heat a block of scented wax. I ran out of tea lights, but had one votive candle that I could use. I cut the bottom of the votive off to the right height, then I used a square of aluminum foil under it to catch the drippings. It worked fine in a pinch.” — D.S. in Florida
