Low cost fake nails stop me biting real ones

I have found fake nails are the best solution to stop me from biting my real ones. You don't have to spend a fortune on salon acrylics every four weeks either. There are DIY kits on AliExpress such as Belle Fille which look easy and are affordable. Making sure to use a cuticle oil or cream regularly during the day also helps to stop picking of said cuticles too!

A bitter end for bitten nails

To stop biting nails for once and for all, try bitter nail polish. There are a few brands that can easily be purchased in Australia. I’m not a nail biter myself but I worked with someone who used it. The polish tasted so awful so she simply stopped putting them in her mouth and eventually the habit was broken! Check out these links for more information on available products:

Home-made floor mop

My home-made Enjo-style floor mop is a joy to use and cost me just $6.00 compared to the brand name alternative! I had been hearing about the wonders of the Enjo cleaning cloths and mops for some time, but the price tag always stopped me from buying one!

Using a hint from the Vault, I purchased half a metre of quality polar fleece for $6.00 and cut it into eight decent sized cleaning cloths, they worked great. Then I looked at my sad sponge mop. It was in a terrible state and the sponge needed replacing - so I decided to try and make my own Enjo-style mop head!

I took one of the cloths I had cut and stitched some elastic around the edges. I now had a removable mop head, and with a little vinegar and eucalyptus I had a sparkling floor. Now every time I mop the floor, I just rinsed out the cloth, dry and replace!

The secret to great scones

I love making scones, and my Mum passed on this wee hint which makes my scones even better.

When the scone recipe calls for milk, use half milk and half water. For some reason, the water makes the scones extra light with the added bonus that it drastically cuts down on your milk usage.
