Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday

Do you hate wasting money on spoiled produce?  I definitely do!  Here are a few tips to keeping your produce fresher longer.

Keep your squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions and garlic fresher longer by storing them in a cool dry place.  Separate them into squash, and potatoes in one bowl or basket and the onions and garlic together. Store them in a dark cupboard or closet.

Want to keep your potatoes from looking back at you?  Store them with an apple.  An apple will prevent the potatoes from sprouting eyes.

Wash fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries in one part vinegar and three parts water to make them last longer.

Want to keep your bananas fresher longer?  Wrap the tip in saran wrap, preventing the release of ethylene.  The stem of the banana releases a lot of ethylene, so store bananas away from other fruits to keep the other fruits fresher longer.

Let me know if you try it and if it works for you!

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday

Invest in good quality brushes.

Good brushes will last for years and provide better makeup application and blending. The fluffy brushes are for blending while generally the flat brushes are for applying products like foundation, cream products, and packing on eyeshadow.

One of my most used and favorite brushes is my Crown Brush C412 Deluxe Pointed Crease Brush and the INSPR Beauty Eye Fluff Brush which is perfect for blending.

While some good quality brushes are more expensive, some of my favorite brushes are inexpensive $1 brushes from E.L.F. like this defining eye brush.

I feel as if  E.L.F. brushes don’t get enough praise and attention.  They have some great quality brushes available. I prefer the $3-$6 USD black handled brushes to the less expensive (yet still effective) white handled brushes, yet all the price points have great options avaliable.

This e.l.f. Professional Complete Set of 12 Brushes is $12.  While the overall quality of the brushes is good, in this “professional” line set some are definitely better than others. I am personally not a big fan of the Bronzer Brush, it is a bit too scratchy in my opinion.  I have owned a few different of the Total Face brushes and found them to be a bit hit or miss.

They have also recently come out with a newer more expensive silver handled line.  This 7 piece silver handle set is only $10, and has everything you might need to complete a great face look.

Let me know if you try any of these out and what you think! If you are enjoying these tips every Tuesday you can check them all out by clicking HERE.
