Try this simple trick: Snap a photo of the item before you donate it.

And it came naturally to Kayley, who’s “always loved crafting, painting, calligraphy, and drawing.” At first, Kayley started buying items on Facebook Marketplace to furnish her own home. She quickly figured out that she could make quick, relatively easy money by selling items. She likes to use Facebook Marketplace because it’s tied to her social media (great for quick background checks), and it’s an app people check hourly. On other buying and selling apps, she found she sometimes missed opportunities because she wasn’t checking them as often....
So how should we prep our faces for the warmer days ahead? We spoke to three dermatologists for their tips on awakening dull winter complexions and achieving a healthy spring glow. Start Exfoliating (if you weren’t already) Despite the flaking that results from cold weather, those with dry skin are usually on the fence about using an exfoliator in the dead of winter. “Many people avoid exfoliation during the winter months because it can dry out the skin, but as the weather warms up and the humidity increases, we are better able to tolerate acids and stronger formulations of active ingredients,” says Hadley King, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City....

Why Apple Cider Vinegar Is Good For Skin “Apple cider vinegar has anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory benefits, which is why it’s commonly used as a DIY treatment for skin issues such as sunburn, acne, and dandruff,” explains Joshua Zeichner, MD, board-certified dermatologist and professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. Plus, because apple cider vinegar is acidic (containing a large amount of citric acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, as well as acetic acid), it can also be used as a gentle exfoliant, Dr....

They can be savory, sweet, or somewhere in between. Hamantashen invoke nostalgia, and many families have their own tweaks on the recipe to get it to their liking.
