Ah, the plot thickens! What is this little charming mess all about, you ask? Well, let me give you the rundown. That mineral oil with the broken cap? It’s actually a handy trick for coating your eggs so you can store them outside the fridge for about a year. Yes, you heard me right—a year. The nail glue? Oh, it’s part of my sad little attempt at DIY nails from Temu, since a monthly manicure is a luxury I simply can’t afford right now. But I do love nails—not too long, not too short. The baby wipes with alcohol? Ever since Covid, they've become my go-to for cleaning not just everything in sight, but me too. Sometimes, when I’m in a rush and a bath isn’t in the cards, I’ll wipe myself down with these—emergency only, of course! My daughter uses them to clean up after the pets, and they work wonders as kitchen wipes. Then there’s my beloved iron metal frame, which I adore but simply can’t seem to find wall space for. But fear not—I’ll make it work! That quirky vase? I found it at Goodwill, and it looked unique, but now I’m at a loss for what to put in it. Classic dilemma. And of course, we have the obligatory bowl of keys and change, my husband’s wallet and eyeglass case, and, last but not least, the junk mail that always seems to find its way in here. Oh! And I can't forget the insect killer—spider eggs were spotted on my neighbor's outdoor lamp, and we suspect they might be black widow eggs. We had our own run-in with them about two months ago, right above our doorway. Crazy, right? Life, always keeping me on my toes! Oh and I need to dust as well. How about that?
