Repurpose Everyday Items
I'm convinced that losing things should be a skill because I'm great at it. One second I'm holding onto something, I set it down and walk away for a minute. Upon my return that item is gone. I don't know if I'm really losing that item or my mind. It's probably the latter, but for the sake of this post, we'll go with items.
I've given up on the socks that mysteriously disappear from the dryer. That's a lost cause. And don't even get me started on money. That just flies out of my wallet on a daily basis. Today I'd like to focus on lost earrings. You start the day off with two, you think, but then someone mentions that you're missing one, or you just happen to touch your ears a lot and it's gone. It happens. A lot. But instead of throwing away a perfectly good, and adorable, earring, why not make the best of it?
If you've been reading Real Simple, you probably already know about this trick. A clever way to repurpose an everyday item is one of my favorite parts of RS. They help you cope with the loss of an earring by turning the one you have left into a decoraive push-pin. I've started doing this and I have to admit that my corkboard looks ten times cuter now.
So don't fret! Just repurpose! And if you aren't checking out Real Simple on a monthly basis, well, you're missing out, just sayin'. (No Real Simple didn't tell me to say that.)

Okay, love the earing push pin idea! I haven't heard of Real Simple until now and I plan on checking it out regularly. I am a huge believer in fix, reuse, regift, or give away to a good home; instead of the throw away and buy new attitude too many people have. Thanks for sharing!
