Readings:<\/strong>
\nMy current page turner is Skeletons on the Zahara<\/a>, the true story from the early 1800s of American sailors (who may have been slave runners) shipwrecked off the west coast of Africa, starving on a lifeboat, then starving in the desert, then captured by desert Arabs and sold off as white slaves through a chain of tough masters until they were ransomed as \u201cskeletons.\u201d I don\u2019t take our easy life for granted. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Beauty hack:<\/strong>
\nBlotting sheets are a savior when my face gets oily and I don\u2019t want to ruin my makeup. Clean & Clear Oil-Absorbing Sheets<\/a> are cheap and portable. But if you find yourself in need and without, just use a sanitary toilet seat cover \u2014 they work just as good. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Silverfish solution:<\/strong>
\nFor years we\u2019ve had silverfish darting around our guest bathroom. I bought some silverfish traps (little cardboard boxes with sticky goo to ensnare them) and they helped, but didn\u2019t stop them. A few weeks ago I read that lavender oil is a good silverfish repellent. It\u2019s only $7 for a small bottle on Amazon<\/a>, so I decided to give it a try. I wetted the end of a Q-Tip with the oil and ran it around the perimeter of the bathroom floor, adding a little extra to a seam between the floor and the wall. It smelled nice and we did not see a single silverfish for two weeks. I finally saw one, reapplied lavender oil on the perimeter of the floor, and haven\u2019t seen any since. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Best kitchen knife:<\/strong>
\nThe gift I most often give for young adults starting their own kitchen is this great, thin, sharp, durable, yet inexpensive chef knife. Both the 6-inch and 8-inch versions are wonderful, but I always grab the 6-inch Victorinox<\/a> myself. Still ranked by Cooks\u2019 Illustrated as a best buy for $25, the Victorinox Chef Knife will last forever, keep a razor sharp edge easily, and balance in your hand perfectly. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Scary movie tip:<\/strong>
\nFargo<\/a> is probably my favorite thing in the world right now, but watching it makes me very tense. Some life-changing advice when watching something scary or suspenseful: root for the villain.<\/i> Once I decide I want the bad guy to win, I actually get happy when he pops up out of nowhere or kills someone off. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Logo inspiration:<\/strong>
\nI have started dozens of projects and ventures that require logos. Logobook<\/a> is an online library of thousands of logos, organized in categories. It\u2019s fun to browse if you\u2019re logo-curious like me. They are all black and white, which I like. (All logos should have black and white versions.) \u2014 MF<\/p>\n
