Posted: 22 Apr 2010 10:12 AM PDT

You may love your shoes, but you definitely want to do away with the nasty smell that comes from them! Here are some of the ways to reduce the shoe smell in your closet:

1. Use baking soda. The single best way to remove odors is to use baking soda. You could sprinkle baking soda on the insides of your shoes after using them (just be sure to wipe it clean before you use it again), and you could also place a dish of baking soda in your shoe closet. This dish will absorb bad odors. Just make sure that the dish doesn't accidentally spill over!

An alternative to the baking soda dish is this: get an old sock and put some baking soda in it (just at the toe level). Tie off the sock to secure the baking soda, and hang it on your closet.

How To Reduce Plastic Bag Use

Posted: 22 Apr 2010 09:55 AM PDT

There's no question about it: plastic is one of the most useful inventions ever made. But as useful as it is, there's also no question about the harm that it brings to the environment. Maybe you already know that plastic takes 1,000 years to start breaking down, and that approximately a billion mammals and seabirds die every year because they accidentally ingest plastic bags. But knowledge of the facts is useless if it doesn't spur us into action. Let's do our part in saving our environment. Here are some ways to reduce plastic bag use:
 
1. Have a bag ready when shopping. This is the most sure-fire way to reduce plastic bag use. You can easily bring an extra bag where you could put your purchases, so you don't have to be given a plastic or paper bag. If you don't have an extra bag but you're just making a small purchase, then you could opt to put that purchase in your bag instead. Just remember to hold on to the receipt!

How To Detect Illness in Caged Birds

Posted: 22 Apr 2010 09:54 AM PDT

Unlike mammalian household pets like dogs and cats, pet birds don't show obvious signs of distress or illness. It takes some familiarity with avian behavior and constant observation to be able to detect illness in caged birds. The following are a list of symptoms that could help you know if your pet bird is sick.

1. Check the droppings. Perhaps the most reliable method for detecting illness in birds is to observe their droppings. Birds defecate and urinate at the same time. The usual appearance of bird droppings is a brownish or blackish colored soft solid mixed with a clear liquid. Observe the droppings every time you clean the cage. Constant monitoring will give you a baseline on which to make comparisons later on when noticeable changes in consistency, color or frequency occur.

How To Reduce Recurring Monthly Expenses

Posted: 22 Apr 2010 09:23 AM PDT

This is certainly the year of the wise frugalista. Join the bandwagon and find out how to reduce recurring monthly expenses:
 
1. It all starts with being conscious of your spending. Make it a habit to itemize each and every purchase, whether it be as small as your regular after-lunch candy bar. This way, you'd be more aware of how you spend every single dollar you earn. Have a small notebook and pen as a regular in your purse so you could easily jot down purchases as you make them.

2. Bring packed lunch to work, and minimize dining out. One of the single biggest expenditures of the average American is food. And the ironic thing is that this is also one of the easiest to remedy. Instead of paying big bucks at the office cafeteria, where you're not just paying for the food but for the labor and their rent as well, it's best that you take an extra 30 minutes to prepare your own lunch.
