Making Holiday Cleanup a Breeze

We all love hosting our family and friends during the holidays, but after all the food and fun and merriment, there’s the inevitable mess to clean up. Need some tips to speed up the process? We’ve got your back.

CHIC (Pearl)

I like to get a head start on my cleaning by planning ahead. Clear out your fridge to make room for leftovers, line your roasting pan before cooking your meat of choice, and soak your pots and pans right after you finish to fight those tough grease stains.

GEEK (Kevin)

As the DIY half of our team, I’m never satisfied with off-the-shelf cleaning products. If you want to get your home spic and span and smelling great, try cooking up one of these recipes for essential oils before starting your post-holiday cleanse.

Happy leftovers!

Once again, we may have gone a little bit overboard with our Thanksgiving food spread. Anyone want to come over today for turkey sandwiches?

Peninsula Pie Picks

One of our favorite parts of the holiday is the food – specifically dessert, and even more specifically, pie! That’s why we’re excited to try these spots that readers of TheSixFifty.com recommended for the holidays.

Happy National Dessert Day!

My mother liked to say, “Life is uncertain, so eat dessert first!” Mom would have loved National Dessert Day. Satisfy your sweet tooth with a tasty treat today!

Weekend Gratitude: Coffee

Yesterday was National Coffee Day, and tomorrow is the international version, which means it’s time to celebrate our favorite beverage-slash-life-giving-elixir. And check out this list of freebies and deals from your favorite coffee providers.

By the way, it’s probably not the reason why any of us started drinking coffee, but anyone who loves a cup or two or three in the morning — and sometimes at one in the morning — will be glad to hear that it’s helping prolong their life. CNN has the details.
