When you think of cool things, denture cleaning tablets probably aren't on your list, but seriously, they are so handy to have around. Here are a few cool things that might make you pick up some Polident next time you're at the drugstore.
1. Got an ugly stain in your favorite mug? Fill the cup with warm water and drop a tablet in. Once it's dissolved and the water is clear, empty the cup. If there are still traces of the stain, just repeat the steps (if the stains are really bad, you'll likely have to repeat several times). It also works for unsightly stains in your coffee pot.
2. If your diamonds have lost their lustre, denture tablets can help restore the original shine and sparkle. Drop a tablet into a cup and as it effervesces, drop in your diamond rings or earrings. Let them sit for a few minutes, then take them out and rinse. Your jewelry will look like it's new again.
3. This may be the best one: soak your fingers in a bowl of warm water (about one cup) with a denture tablet and when you take them out, your nails will be bright and white. This is perfect for those bothersome manis that leave a slight tint on your nails.
4. Nobody enjoys cleaning toilets, but denture tablets can make the chore a little easier. They get rid of hard water stains and mineral deposits and work in about twenty minutes. Just drop one or two tablets into the bowl and let them work their magic.
5. Next time you clean your hairbrushes and combs, drop a denture tablet in with the soapy water; it'll help get rid of product buildup, hair oil, lint, and dirt. Let the brushes and combs soak for a few minutes, swish around the water a few times, then use the comb to scrape the brushes. You'll be amazed!

When the weather gets hot (and it's definitely hot!) I start thinking about hosting an old-fashioned ice cream social. I used to have them all the time as a kid, but now that I'm grown, I'd like to have a more elevated social with lots of colorful details.
1. Sprinkles!
2. Chocolate syrup truly makes the sundae.
3. Catch spills and make clean-up a breeze by covering the ice cream table with a cute paper tablecloth.
4. An ice cream starter kit makes it faster and easier to whip up homemade ice cream.
5. No dish washing! Colorful bowls that you can toss when you're done are a must.
6. Every fun occasion starts with fun invitations, like this free download from Eat Drink Chic.
7. Multiple ice cream scoops for multiple flavors--these are only $1.99 each!
8. Chic sugar cone wrappers add an unexpected dose of color and style.
9. Toppings like nuts, sprinkles, or crushed cookies look even more appealing in glass candy jars.
10. These wooden spoons are not only super cute, they're much more eco-friendly than plastic.
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!

A favorite pasttime of mine is perusing the beauty aisles of my local CVS or Walgreens. It's serious fun and I've discovered several must-have products that have become staples in my beauty routine.
This smells absolutely divine. I'm also obsessed with their argan oil treatment for hair, which has the same heavenly fragrance.
These make throwing your hair up into a top knot so much easier.
My latest obsession! This stuff smells amazing!
A must for when I'm feeling too lazy to wash my makeup off at night. These are super quick and even contain a waterproof eye makeup remover.
A pretty, summery blue polish that, I promise, looks so great on everyone.
Whenever I host or co-host a party I like to create a fabulous playlist that goes with the theme of the occasion, so when I co-hosted my cousin's bridal shower a couple of months ago I came up with this sweet wedding-themed playlist that's loaded with girly songs from the '50s, '60s, and '70s.
1. "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)" -- Natalie Cole
2. "Today I Met the Boy I'm Gonna Marry" -- Darlene Love
3. "How Sweet It Is (to Be Loved By You)" -- Marvin Gaye
4. "Third Finger, Left Hand" -- Martha and the Vandellas
5. "Chapel of Love" -- The Dixie Cups
6. "Wishin' and Hopin'" -- Ani di Franco (the song at the beginning of My
Best Friend's Wedding; if you want the original it's by Dionne Warwick)
7. "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" -- Stevie Wonder
8. "You Beat Me to the Punch" -- Mary Wells
9. "Then He Kissed Me" -- The Crystals
10. "For Once in My Life" -- Stevie Wonder
