I always love your videos and have followed you for years (Will was a child and you were still married!). In this video, I allow myself to react and provide you with information. 1) When you remove the cord from a charger but leave it plugged in, be aware that you are still using energy. It's small but you consume. 2) Placing cleaning items and towels on top of trash (even dry trash) involves micro transfer. Your towels are “contaminated” by waste. Again, it's tiny but you have to know it. 3) The ideal flower storage temperature depends on the variety of flowers. It can range from 8 to 20° Celcius. It was a florist friend who taught me about it. Also, if you do not have the possibility (or the desire) to take your vase out at night, or the temperatures are much too low or high, simply put 2-3 ice cubes in the vase water over time (I do it every 2 days when I change the water). I wish you a beautiful day and thank you for your inspiring videos. Best wishes.

I use spent coffee grounds for odor removal. I Just collect my used coffee grounds, spread them on a plate to dry completely, then decant them into a small bowl.

Hi Benita, I use a throw rug grip pad cut up in various sizes to keep things from sliding. I have used large pieces under couch cushions to keep them from moving around, under all my drawer organizers, kitchen drawers so my large utensils don’t slide. I think I got mine from IKEA and it comes in white. ❤

These are some great tips! One thing though, I was tought that leaving chargers in elektrical sockets is a fire hazard (one of the reasons why it's recommended not to charge your phone while you're sleeping). Maybe things have changed, but just a heads up. I had never heard of putting news papers in smelly things! I am going to try that for sure. I know putting a bowl of (dry) baking soda in there can help. Or a bowl of (unused) coffee (whole beans or ground) and even some (clean!) kitty litter can do the trick! I like that there are so many environmentally friendly options to try. Oof! I know that special drill you need for those '70s homes! My apartment was build in 1975 and all the walls are concrete..! I also love your late mother's trick 💐 Thank you for sharing!

The cork trivet idea is genius, and so well timed. Last night I was clearing out a cupboard and I realised I had an excess of cork pot stands for some reason. I had been thinking of getting the IKEA pan protectors, but they are never in stock. But thanks to your video, I tried out the cork trivets and they fit perfectly between my frypans. So it motivated me to clean out and reorganise my pot and frypan drawer. Tack så mycket Benita.
