What Nestie post or tip has made life better?
Okay, this is random:
When I was putting on makeup this morning I thought of this board.
I was applying mineral powder foundation, which I purchased after someone asked the question last month, "What makeup do you wear when it's super hot outside?" I hadn't worn mineral stuff for a long time, and was so glad that I had read the post last month where people responded positively about mineral makeup. I bought some soon after, and it was great especially when temps were so high.
So this morning I thought to myself, "I get alot of great tips on this board."
Another example is finally making laundry detergent after people raved, and another (that I haven't tried yet but plan to) is homemade dish soap. Still another is getting and using a Clarisonic Mia (I think that's the brand?) facial cleanser.
I don't post alot, but I love to read people's tips and really appreciate people offering them.
So my question is, what tips or insights have helped you out?

Also, the vinegar in the dishwasher- I don't do it all the time but last week we ran out of water softener salt and it made a world of difference!
