10 Super Simple Ways to Clean Your Microwave
Some people don't understand how filthy, messy, and absolutely gross microwaves can eventually get. Since they're mainly used to heat up our meals, it shouldn't be a surprise to discover some filth in the corners of the microwave. Sometimes our food can pop a little from the reaction of the microwave, and bits and pieces of food get stuck on the inner walls and on the bottom. While many of us look past wiping down our microwaves, filth continues to build up the more we use it. And after months of not cleaning it, our microwave looks like a blackhole of utter disgust.

Easy Tips To Keep Your Bedroom Clean
As you get older, your room starts to look messier. Many of us hoard so much junk that throwing any of it out is like throwing out a piece of our heart. From the clothes that we don't wear anymore to the stupid scrap we collected through the years that we should definitely toss out but we don't, this can cause our rooms to look very cluttered. Especially since we own so much, we're running out of room to store them all. So, what's our last resort? Just shove the garbage under our beds, stuff them in drawers, and leave the majority of them in the corners of our room so they're out of the way, but still there.

Let It Go!
I'll always remember how much moving to California made me a minimalist. I moved four times that first year. It was the first time I moved cross country from my home state of Texas. At the time, I told myself whatever I couldn't fit into my Explorer I wouldn't take with me. I didn't realize it then but I was preparing myself for a long journey which involved packing light. What I ended up taking with me was mostly clothes, kitchen stuff, and music. I even had a blow-up mattress that I could fold up so it would be compact. I was naturally becoming a minimalist! Now, seven years later, I've lived in a total of six places in this city! Even though I have furniture now, I've still managed to keep things to a minimum.

Super Surprising Life Hacks with WD-40 You Can Use. Top Story - January 2018.
WD-40 is literally a miracle worker in a can. It can help you in many situations if you don't exactly know where to turn to. However, if you don't know what it is, WD-40 is the trademark name for a spray that penetrates oil and displaces water that gives surfaces lubrication and protection against moisture. Meaning it can remove stains, glue, marks, etc. off of surfaces. It's also a great lubrication when you're dealing with a sticky or jammed situation.
