Small issues and easy solutions!

Question 1.

I was out having dinner with a friend last week who put her handbag on her knees throughout the dinner. She was nervous about leaving her bag dangling from the back of the chair and she wasn’t about to put her expensive bag on the floor. My friend admired my purse hook that I have had for ages. I really thought everyone knew about this  product.

Question 2.

How do you get an extra day off from washing shoulder or longer length hair and keeping it straight.

Audrey’s Answer

Using a scrunchy( not a rubber band) and  pull your hair on top of your head before bedtime. Then use a satin pillowcase to prevent your hair from curling.

Question 3.

I wear expensive eyeglasses. When I am at the salon, I worry about getting bleach or other harsh chemicals on the frames. 

Audrey’s Answer

Wrap a small piece of either aluminum or cling wrap to the arms of your eyewear. Or you can buy pre-packaged eyewear wraps at 1-877-421-5659 or 1-877-421-5659 . They’re made by Basic.
