Pets, roommates and your own hamper can leave your house smelling not so fresh. But before spend your hard-earned cash on room deodorizers and carpet cleaners, try using what's already in your kitchen. Baking soda is great at absorbing odors. Sprinkle some on the carpet, let it sit and vacuum it up. If you don't know where the odor is coming from, fill a few saucers with vinegar and set them around your house. The vinegar absorbs odors in the air. For smelly wastebaskets or hampers throw in a dryer sheet and the sweaty-feet smell will "bounce."

You wake up every day at 8:50 a.m.—for your 9 a.m. class. You barely have time to get dressed, but when it comes to your shoes you you're too groggy to think about getting "the bunny around the tree." Instead of replacing all of your shoes with flip-flops, consider another option. Relace your shoes so you can slide them on.
1. Unlace your shoes, leaving the laces in the bottom two holes. Pull on one side until it's at least three times as long as the other side.
2. Tie a knot in the lace on the inside of the shoe so the lace cannot pass through the hole. Place the length of the short side under the insole.
3. Pull the long side of the lace up through the next hole up and then down into the hole straight across.
4. Continue lacing the shoe with that pattern, placing your foot in the shoe about a third of the way through the process. Tighten the lace for the fit you want.
5. When you get to the last hole, tie a knot in the lace on the inside of the shoe to keep the lace from coming out. This will keep the laces from loosening. Tuck the remainder of the long side into your shoe.
