De-clutter
"Less clutter makes rooms feel bigger and collect less dust. The more trinkets we have, the more difficult cleaning becomes. We’ve stored away nearly all the accessories that cluttered our surfaces, and pick two or three pieces that best accent the room or make us feel good, changing them whenever we want a new look. New purchases must take the place of something else, helping us prioritise purchases and keep clutter under control." —Jacquie McNab
Soap tricks
"Scraps of soap tied inside old pantyhose are a great exfoliater for your feet. Scraps of soap can also be soaked in a small amount of water and put in a food processor for 20 seconds to make liquid soap." —Janet Luke
Learn to sew
"There are hundreds of recycling projects you can do with basic sewing skills. With the introduction of the 10 cent plastic bag charge, I’m creating bags out of fabric scraps and stashing them all over the place, ready to use. The possibilities are endless—a favourite tea towel, a loved dress can all be made into bags."—Joanne Kinnaird
