I don't know about you, but I've been looking forward to this!
Today is Backwards Day at Works-For-Me Wednesday. Instead of sharing a tip that has worked for you, you'll throw out an issue or question that has stumped you (preferably not something like quantum physics, y'all). Keep it short and keep it specific, and watch (hopefully) the suggestions come flooding through your comments sections.
I have two of my own for anyone who would care to weigh in.
- Has anyone ever found a really good eyeliner that is actually smudge-proof? Because I've been wearing make up for over 20 years, and I've never found one that stands up to my tough smudge standards. I'm about to resort to a Sharpie marker!
- Do you have any ideas for storing kitchen spray cleaner in an attractive way? I don't like to keep mine under the counter, because I use it so often. But keeping a bottle of 409 isn't exactly my idea of cute. I was hoping one of you had come up with an idea for doing this cleverly.
