article: Foam paintbrushes are perfect for getting deep into the spaces between your air conditioner vents' slats. They're inexpensive and available at your nearest home improvement, craft, or dollar store. You could also purchase a set online. Combine equal parts of warm water and white vinegar. Try using lemon-scented cleaning vinegar if the smell bothers you. If you can't find lemon-scented vinegar, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to your cleaning solution. Dab a foam brush in your cleaning solution and press it between your vent slats to remove dust and grime. Rinse your brush as needed to remove the debris it accumulates, or simply use another brush. Finish by wiping the vents down with a dry brush if you've left any excess cleaning solution. Wash your used brushes with warm water and a dab of dish detergent. Squeeze them out and rinse well to remove excess soap. Let them dry, place them in a plastic baggie, and store them in your glove compartment for quick use.

article: Don't feel like you have to stay in your house because you're spending your holiday alone. Go shopping. Even if don't want to spend a lot of money, take your time perusing stores, and treat yourself to something small that you've been wanting. In some areas during statutory holidays (e.g. Christmas and Easter) you may be out of luck as many venues will be closed, so check at least the day before, if not sooner. Go a movie or a play. Going to see a movie or show alone can be a fun experience. Pick something that you really want to see. Take a class. Use your holiday as an opportunity to try something new like swing dances or painting. Check community newspapers for a calendar of classes and events during your holiday. Use sites like Groupon to find discounted classes in your area. Take the time out of your holiday to pamper yourself. If you've been putting it off, get a new haircut or color. This will make you feel your best. Get a luxury treatment you wouldn't normally, like a massage or a facial. If you don't want to pay for a treatment, you can create your own spa day. Whether you want to go out to your favorite restaurant or cook at home, splurge a little on food. This could be as simple as stocking up your fridge before your holiday, so you don't have to worry about going to the grocery store. Get a little fancy. Make a cheese plate, and buy a nice wine just for you. Or, just spend some time plating up your favorite junk foods instead of eating them straight from the bag. Even though you're on your own, clean up right after you eat to keep your holiday and space relaxing.

article:
If you'd like your sand dollars to be whiter, or you're having trouble cleaning them with water alone, you may consider using bleach. Mix equal amounts of bleach and water. and gently place your sand dollars into the solution. If you're cleaning a number of sand dollars, fill a baking tray with the bleach-and-water solution. This will allow you to spread a number of sand dollars evenly over a broad surface. Make sure that there's enough solution in the tray to cover the entire sand dollar. You can also use a bowl, a bucket, or a Tupperware container. If you're only cleaning one sand dollar, find a small bowl, lid, or other container. You won't need much bleach to get the intended effect. Be careful not to soak the sand dollars in bleach for too long: the shell will begin to soften and disintegrate if it's left in too strong of a solution. If you want to soak the shells for a longer period, reduce the bleach concentration. Be careful when handling bleach. Don't get bleach in your eyes, and don't swallow the solution. Wash your hands with soap after any contact with bleach. Move the sand dollars from the bleach solution into a bowl or tray of fresh water. The bleach may continue to disintegrate the shell even after you've removed the sand dollar from the solution. Rinse the bleached shell thoroughly in fresh water to neutralize the bleach solution and remove any remaining dirt. When you're sure that the sand dollar is clean, leave it out to dry. Within a few hours it should be ready to decorate, display, or store as a keepsake. Sand dollars will harden over time, but you should continue to handle them carefully. This may come in handy if you plan to use if for craft projects, or if you want to display it without worrying about breaking it. Mix together equal portions of water and white craft glue. Use a sponge brush or a paintbrush to completely cover the sand dollar with the mixture. Let the shell dry, and the glue solution will harden like a glaze. Sand dollars will harden naturally, over time, the drier they become. Bear in mind that thicker glue mixtures may conceal some of the natural texture of the shell. Once your sand dollar is hardened and dried, it's ready to use or display. You can paint or decorate your sand dollars, give them as gifts, or display them as they are.
