Renuzit TriScents Home Makeover Semi-Finalists
In my bathroom at home, I have the cheaply priced 97-cent screw-top Renuzit air freshener, and I must say, they’re a lot more effective than candles or spraying, and they don’t overwhelm. Renuzit is having a contest where participants are instructed to upload a video explaining why they feel like they deserve a Home Makeover…

Also, when you’re my age, you might be thinking about the future: marriage, a house, kids, kids’ college funds, vacation money, hire a hitman for the in-laws money, etc. Or maybe you’re just thinking about how to get out of debt. Recently, I…

Reach Out and Touch Someone [Insert Sexual Harassment Claim Here]
