Thursday’s Terrific Tip

Have you ever had a hairbrush missing from your bathroom drawer…right after you just bought another one to replace the first that went missing?!

Here’s a terrific tip! Attach a very long piece of elastic to the end of your hairbrush (it helps if the brush has a hole in the handle) and then screw (not kidding) the end of the elastic into one of the sides of the drawer. Presto! A brush on a leash! (I did end up sewing a piece of sturdy fabric–denim from an old pair of jeans–to the end of the elastic, since after screwing the elastic on, and getting yanked a lot, it raveled and came off.)

It’s easy to change brushes when you get a new one. You just untie the elastic from the brush (or cut it off) and tie the new one back on.

With 9 people getting ready in the morning, it helps to have a lot of brushes in a number of places, but having ONE brush that can never leave means that in desperation, you will always be able to find ONE.

Works for us!

Happy Brushing,

P.S. Anybody have a tip for helping children who don’t like having their hair brushed?
