Casa Quickie: Put Your Veggie Oil to Work

If your vegetable oil thinks it can get away with only working in the kitchen, you better tell it to think again.

If your vegetable oil thinks it can get away with only working in the kitchen, you better tell it to think again. Veggie oil isn't only good for cooking: you can also use it to remove adhesive left from sticky labels (or the stickers themeselves) on anything around the house. Just drop a bit of oil onto a paper towel or a tea towel and give the adhesive a good rub. If the item you're working on is washable, rinse it with a bit of soap and water. If not, just dampen a tea towel and use a drop of dish soap, then wipe away the oil and adhesive with the cloth. Bye-bye sticky stuff!

Turn Your TV Into a YouTube Screen

Turn your boob tube into a YouTube screen with these YouTube stickers!

Turn your boob tube into a YouTube screen with these YouTube stickers! When I spotted these on BuzzFeed I thought I'd get some and pull a prank on the boyfriend, but I think these stickers would look too itsy bitsy on a 47-inch TV screen. But then again, they are too geekilicious to pass up.

Lil Tip - Taking Stickers Off the Walls

My lil one recently gave me the lovely task of removing a sticker from our dining room wall.

My lil one recently gave me the lovely task of removing a sticker from our dining room wall. Luckily, I had been tipped off on how to take care of these sticky situations.

Instead of trying to scrape it off and risk ruining the paint, just pull out your hairdryer and aim the
heated air at the pesky sucker. After about 10 seconds, peel it off. If the sticker doesn't go without a fight and leaves goo on the spot, dab some stain remover on a warm washcloth and rub the spot until the gunk comes off. Then let it air dry.

Faunkyapples: Removeable Makeover For Your Mac

Does your Mac need a makeover?

Does your Mac need a makeover? Are you gearing up for the 2008 election and want to publicize your favorite candidate? Faunkyapples are small electrostatic (for MacBook White and iBook) and removable (for MacBook Pro and Black and PowerBook) stickers you put on your Apple's iconic glowing apple.

My favorite is the faunkypolitics series, which was specially designed for the 2008 US Presidential elections. I also like the fact that the stickers are easily removable, so you don't have to marry yourself to any one design. They cost $3.99 for one or $6.99 for two and they can even create special stickers with your company logo.
