DIY Car Kit Ideas: List of Items

A DIY car kit is not the same thing as an emergency kit - they serve different purposes. A true Emergency Kit should go in the back of the trunk, including items such as band-aids, Neosporin, and other trauma or survival aids. On the contrary, DIY Car Kits have non-emergency items ---but used for your own personal "emergencies," such as spilling ketchup on your shirt or a sudden headache when on the go. **A DIY Car Kit should be in a small to medium sized container, with a zipping or buckling component to ensure the items stay inside. It can be a flimsy material bag, or a sturdy plastic container. But make sure it is small enough that it will not take up a lot of space in your back seat. The ideal size would be able to fit underneath the seat or on the floorboard. See the items below to configure your own Car Kit according to what YOU think you'll need "in case of emergency!" Altoids (or other mint that will not be affected by temperature) Gum

6-Month DIY Wedding: The Timeline Checklist

First of all, what do I mean by a "DIY Wedding?" A wedding that is at least 75% of planning and services done by YOU. This means NO fancy venues, expensive wedding cakes, unnecessary rentals, catering, and more. If this isn't you, then you will not find this DIY Wedding Checklist helpful...at all. If this is you, then read on and enjoy! On the side note.... Which one are you? : Just got engaged (but having a short engagement -- 4 to 6 months)? No worries. You'd be surprised how many people pull of an entire DIY wedding in less than 4 or 5 months, so if they can, so can you. Just follow the Wedding Checklist and Timeline below: Not yet "officially" engaged (but know you are about to be)? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you to plan ahead, especially if you are planning the wedding all by yourself. No, you absolutely don't need to buy anything yet (and shouldn't) but you must plan ahead and know exactly what you want to do. That way, once the en

Getting To Know Your Roommate

Whether you're a freshman in college, or 28 years old looking for someone to help cut living costs, you'll want to get to know your roommate for multiple reasons: To make living with each other easier, since you will have had communicated with each other both of your expectations and pet peeves early on. For increasing the possibility of becoming great friends due to similar interests and wants, and always having someone you enjoy to hang out with or do similar activities together. To establish a level of trust out of the gate. To establish house rules after moving in, so the awkwardness or tension of setting new / un-established rules later on when the issues arise will be decreased or removed. It's important to have a roommate talk, regardless of who you are living with. This applies to: "Pot Luck" roommates (people you didn't know before). Old friends that you have never lived with before until now. Siblings you grew up wi
