Fresher Fridge

Cleaning the refrigerator can be a daunting task, so when you're ready to tackle it, grab some coffee and the newspaper, and let's get to work!

First, crank up the coldness while the door is open, you'll have less condensation to deal with.

Line the crisper drawers with newspaper, it absorbs any lingering moisture and odor, and makes for less cleaning next time.

Remove stains with white toothpaste and a clean cloth. The mild abrasive cuts through stains without damaging the surface.

Baking soda works, but so do coffee grounds. Fill a container and pop it in the fridge, it's great at absorbing odors.

Can You See Me Now?

With networking at an all-time high these days, every social event or gathering could be an opportunity for you to stand out in a crowd...

 Here are some tricks to getting noticed:

Wear Red. We naturally notice that color in a crowd, and red actually raises the heart rate, so you'll excite the people around you. Even just a prominent red accessory will do.

Rule of Three. Scan the room for groups of three. One person in a 3 way conversation is often the odd man out, and will welcome a fourth wheel.

The Elevator Pitch. Spend a few minutes thinking up two or three sentences that would get your message across in about the length of an elevator ride. Searching for words or making it up as you go along can really mess things up.
