Get Your Old My.Yahoo Page Back (at Least For Now)
Jim lets us know how we can retain our old my.yahoo page:
It appears that Yahoo is forcing its users to the new my.yahoo.com page, which has blown away the old customisation and formatting. However, the Canadian site still brings up the old version that we know and love, at least for the time being. Let’s hope they don’t blow this one up, too.
Make Your Own DIY Wrinkle Release Spray
Emily shares a recipe for making your own wrinkle release spray with common household ingredients:
I found this recipe on the Popsugar Smart Living website when I realised one morning that I had run out of my store-bought wrinkle release spray. It’s really easy to make and, since you only need water, white vinegar, and conditioner, you probably already have what you need to make it.

Trisha shows us a great way to create storage for nail polish and supplies with Ikea spice racks:
I recently posted a DIY article on my blog that shows how to modify Ikea spice racks so you can use them for nail polish instead of spices.
