Toothpaste works pretty good. I Dampen an area with white vinegar & then smear with toothpaste and scrub with a nylon scrubbie. The magic eraser things work well (they are essentially a sponge made of glass-like material, they contain no cleaning chemicals) The only problem is they get used up fairly fast. Once you have the tiles clean, wipe them down a few times a week with a vinegar soaked rag.

vinegar and baking soda are a good option, too. i also keep an old toothbrush in my shower all the time. that way if i see any mold growing, I can just give it a quick brush off while I'm bathing.

It takes a little scrubbing but I make a paste with Water and Baking Soda.

Relaxing while in the tub

A bubble bath has always helped me to relax. Yesterday while was taking a bath I had an idea. I turned on my machine that has sounds such as rain, water fall etc. The soothing bath and the calming sounds took my stresses away.

Reward yourself in your post-workout shower

I keep two types of shower products: upscale, nice-smelling shampoo and conditioner and perfumed bath gel, and normal drugstore stuff. When I have worked out in the morning before my shower, I use the good stuff, and when I haven't, I use the cheap stuff. Every time I take a shower after I work out, I'm rewarding myself for sticking to my goals, and every time I have to use the normal stuff, I'm reminded to get back on track.

MORE INFORMATION:
You can find travel sizes of most upscale bath products that fit well into a gym bag without taking up much room.

LEARN TO CAN AND PRESERVE

Learning to can and preserve your own food does more than save you money. Many of the products on the market like canned tomatoes, beans, and fruits are canned in cans that have a lining that may be harmful to your health and can cause cancer. By canning your own food you save money and your health. Need help getting started? Go online, the library, or even your local cooperative extension has advice. You don't have to start out with pressure canning. (continued in more information)

MORE INFORMATION:
Try water bath canning for fruits, tomatoes, an pickled vegetables.
