Just in time for Valentine’s Day… and because love is in the air…

Make it Do is giving away a beautiful Pink Chandelier necklace….

This gorgeous necklace has not one or two… but four charms.  Each of the charms comes with a swivel clip so you can interchange them easily.  Clip one to bracelet chain… or add one to another necklace.

Each pendant is handmade with clear beveled glass and is hand soldered.

I love the “Be Mine” charm…   This necklace is glittery and sweet, just like Valentine’s Day.

I received a Pink Chandelier necklace for Christmas this year… and I love it.  It’s my college team… a Utah Utes charm and necklace.  My girls got Pink Chandelier necklaces for Christmas too.  Their necklaces have dainty little monogram charms with a bird on the other side…. so sweet.

The drain in the kid’s bathroom has been slow the last few weeks.

I wanted to find a solution to unclog the drain that didn’t include calling a plumber- too expensive.

And didn’t include Drano- too toxic.

I did a Google search on “How to Unclog a Drain Naturally” and found my old friends and cleaning champions-  Baking Soda and Vinegar at the top of the list.

I could hardly wait to give them a try.  This process works with a slow drain, I don’t think it would work with a drain with standing water in it.

Here’s what I did:

• 1/4 cup baking soda
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 large pot of boiling water

(I removed my pop-up drain stopper first.) Carefully pour the baking soda down the drain.  Follow with 1 cup of white vinegar.  Let it stand for about 15 minutes.  Then I poured a pot of boiling water down the drain.

It was moving a faster, but still a bit slow.  So I repeated the process.

The second time worked like a charm, I heard a gurgling noise (which sounded encouraging) and when I poured the boiling water in, it really went down fast.  Now it drains as fast as when it was brand new.  Totally amazing.  And to think, I just used what was in my pantry, no $$$ out the door.
