Tip of the week…

Easy targets for spring decluttering

Vases: “People often underestimate the number of vases they have tucked away.” So haul them all out, take inventory, and keep only enough to accommodate the flowers you bring into your home. Some florists will happily use your extra vases.

Hangers: Cull the random collection in your closets of hangers that are nonmatching. Your dry cleaner and local thrift shop might be able to use the leftovers.

Tools: Some homeowners don’t need more than the basics. Once you identify duplicates and tools you’ll never use, you can donate them to Habitat for Humanity.

Paint: Opened paint is best used within two years, so don’t store it forever. Latex paint can be put out with the trash, but open lids to dry it out first, using sand or cat litter to absorb large quantities. Consult your municipality on ways to safely discard oil-based paints.

And for those who have everything…

Some people love tattoos but just aren’t ready for the commitment. If you’re one of them, the Prinker S could be the answer. The handheld printer applies a temporary tattoo with just a quick swipe, and “only upon close inspection would you know it wasn’t permanent.” Choose a ready-made design, draw your own, or upload an image from the web. The Prinker applies a primer lotion, then FDA-approved cosmetic ink that’ll last two days. The tattoos wash off with soap or wet wipe, and you get about 1,000 from one ink cartridge. So go crazy. With the Prinker, “you can look like a badass even if needles terrify you.”
