-put one on each side of doorways and they can hold plants or drink trays and really spruce up a room

Ooooh! I love a good roundup of beauty tricks! As a blonde eyelash-haver, I particularly liked #2.

I try to remember to always say thank you whether that’s verbally or via text, email, Facebook event page, or actual thank you card. Here are 7 other times we should say thank you (I loved number three and will be doing that from now until forever.)

  • Offers rides without my asking
  • “If we have similar tastes we must have similar values, this is an excellent prospect for a long-term relationship”
  • Finishes drinks at a similar pace
