Many shampoos come with lofty promises of shiny locks and tantalizing scents.  While my current shampoo serves its main purpose of cleaning, the initial scent wears off as soon as I leave the shower. Here’s a trick for keeping hair smelling great throughout the day: add some perfume to your hairbrush.

There are lots of creative uses for perfume, including adding a couple spritzes to your hairbrush before brushing!  It will leave your hair smelling amazing, just like your perfume. 

Right now I’m using The Body Shop’s White Musk, and it works for me!

Has using perfume to keep my hair smelling fresh simplified my life? Not really, but my hair smells fantastic!

Are you tired of buying air fresheners every few weeks to cover up mysterious odors in your house? Well, I am.  After doing a bit of research, I found three methods to help me solve my problem inexpensively. With the help of some friends, I tested these methods and will share my results with you.

Method 1: Vanilla spray Good
Fill a spray bottle with a vanilla extract and water mixture. Spray around the room to eliminate offensive smells.  Results: The vanilla mixture smelled amazing, but didn’t manage to eliminate the odors. Though it seemed to work initially, I had to keep respraying it.

Method 2: Cat litter Better
Fill a small box with cat litter. Designed to absorb smells, this grainy substance can be placed in a box in a smelly room to “eat” odors.  Results: The cat litter absorbed most of the foul odors, but it took a few days.
