Disclaimer: I wrote this right after Christmas, but I am just getting around to posting it. Fortunately this isn't a post about punctuality.
Ok, I know what you’re thinking…another post about saving money. While saving money is a favorite pastime of mine, this post is about something totally different. With the holidays winding down, I’m sure all of you are still organizing and putting away all your goodies. Unfortunately, the dreaded task that comes with this is removing all those price stickers! They can be such a nightmare, right? Picture frames and shoes are the worst, but those stickers come on lots of things.
Speaking of Shoes! I got these this past weekend...love them! BCBG Paris, Available at DSW $69.95
Well! I have the perfect remedy that works every single time-guaranteed. No soaking, no solvents, no broken nails! All you have to do is heat the sticker or label with a hair dryer for a few seconds and it peels off without a drop of residue. If the label resists, just heat it longer. It also helps to heat it underneath as you peel…but be careful not to burn yourself!
If by some chance you have a particularly stubborn tag, or you are having trouble with an old tag you tried to peel off, then Goo Gone works like a charm. Bonus: it has a fresh citrusy scent. I actually saw it at Dollar Tree the other day. That tiny bottle they sell will last you a lifetime. I think I still have mine from college, and that was longer ago than I would like to admit. You should probably just get this anyway; it’s good for a million other things.
I can not tell you how happy I was to discover this amazing solution. Just one of the many tricks I picked up from working as a photo stylist. I hope it helps you too!
Since we are talking about hair dryers, I want to mention the awesomeness of velcro rollers. They are super easy to use, require little heat, and offer fabulous results! For amazing volume that will last all day, allow your hair to air dry or either blow dry until it is only slightly damp. Next, roll your sections with the largest rollers, making sure to roll them straight up away from your scalp, this will provide the most volume. The rollers will secure themselves, no clips necessary. Leave the rollers in for as long as you can afford to. I like to sit out in the sun and let my hair dry, but obviously it is a little more practical to use the blow dryer. To get maximum results, point the dryer inside the roller while it's in your hair, this will ensure that you hair dries thoroughly. When you feel that your hair is fairly dry, gently pull out the rollers by pulling and wiggling them out at the same time. Fluff your hair with you fingers and style as you wish!
These rollers are very inexpensive and are available everywhere. I got mine at CVS.
My hair, good and flat-no rollers.
After velcro rollers-much better!
