Relationship With Your Inner Domestic Goddess

At the Relationship Supermarket, we also care about the domestic aspects of our lives and the good stuff that make living easier. Because of career training and work experience, I feel more comfortable and qualified to write about relationships and life-coaching type articles. Nevertheless, some of my most successful articles published on Triond are not those which discuss tools for an easier life, but equipment for making living easier in the home.

These first five (below) hit a high spot on the Internet. I think that the popularity of the series is not owed to just the title, but the fact that they describe hilarious scenarios. They outline cheap, useful and unknown uses for various household items, but as a change from the norm where advice and tips are generally painstakingly listed, this amusing but handy series show someone walking around the home with a jar of Vaseline, salt, a bottle of baby oil, a bottle of Vodka, or a pack of toothpicks, taking care of the many tasks around the house that particular item could be used for - all in one go. The domestic goddess’s appetite for easy living was obviously whetted and satiated with these pieces.


Top 10(Legal) Things To Do If You Find Yourself Holding a Jar of Vaseline  

A list of useful things anyone could do in one afternoon with a simple jar of Vaseline.
Vaseline is the branded name for Petroleum Jelly. The raw material for this versatile product was first discovered on an oil rig in Pennsylvania, USA. Through the years we have found some amazing uses and have discovered numerous cosmetic advantages for this remarkable every-day product. It would be a gigantic challenge to find a simpler product with more varied uses than Vaseline.

Yet, if you find yourself holding a jar of Vaseline, what could you do that would give a quick fix to your life and home, with long term effects?



Top 10 (Legal) Things To Do If You Find Yourself Holding A Jar Of Salt

Useful things just about anyone could do with a jar of salt, in just one afternoon. You don’t even need a pair of gloves.
Okay, so you’ve got a day off work and decide to do a bit of work around the house. The only drawback is that all you have is jar of salt. These are some of the chores you could still get on with, as salt has many (legal) uses in and around the house.
 


Top 10 (Legal) Things to do if You Find Yourself Left Holding a Bottle of Baby-Oil

A helpful list of things you can do, if you suddenly find yourself left holding a bottle of Baby Oil with no one to smear it on.

If Olive oil is made from olives, coconut oil – from coconuts, crude oil – from crude (you’ve got to know I’m kidding right?), and corn oil is made from corn, what is Baby Oil made from?



 Top 10(Legal) Things to do if You Find Yourself Holding a Pack of Toothpicks

Allowable things to do if you’re holding a pack of toothpicks. You would be surprised at how useful they are.
You’re not quite sure how you got here, all you can vaguely remember is that you’ve been extremely busy and your activities involved some salt , a bottle of Baby Oil and a jar of Vaseline . However, you’re suddenly now aware that you’re standing in the kitchen, wearing latex gloves and holding a pack of wooden toothpicks. How do you make yourself useful while you try to figure out what went on before you arrived in the kitchen?



Top 10 (Legal)Things to do if You Find Yourself Holding a Bottle Of Vodka

A very useful list of things to do if you’re suddenly holding a bottle of Vodka and have an afternoon to spare.
We’ve now come to the last of the five article in this series. We’re in a good position though because this time we’re happily holding a bottle of Vodka. If all else fails and none of these tips work (they will, really), we could just give up and drink the whole lot – which as you know, is horrible advice.
So what can we endulge in with a bottle of Vodka that won’t involve the long, overweight, icing sugar-encrusted arm of the law?

 
On a lesser note, I published How To Clean Pet Faeces, Yucky Spills and Other MuckyThings. This has always performed well, but the views came in constant dribbles rather than a mighty force of a Caribbean wave. I suppose this shows that domestic goddesses surfing the Internet are looking for more concise pieces rather than just general household-tips ones.

It was then I realised that How Duct Tape Became The Love Of My Life had to be written.
I’ve always had a good selection of duct tape at home because I think out of everything else, this item has been most useful to me through the years.
