How to get rid of water stains on stainless steel appliances?
before
Problem: Want to get rid of stubborn water stains on stainless steel sink, faucet and fridge. You certainly want to FINALLY get rid of unsightly water streaks running down your fridge front door from the ice maker.
Solution: Use "Jet-Dry" rising agent made by finish.
Jcloth
after
How it works:
Sink: First: Clean your sink like usual. Then, pour a few drops of the rinse agent onto a clean Jcloth. Wipe the entire sink and faucet. You should immediately see the watermarks disappear. Last, wipe everything dry. (If you see bubbles it’s because you are using too much liquid).
Fridge: Repeat the same as for the sink but work one area at the time and make sure you wipe dry it right away.
That's it.

What are Admirers on Etsy?
This article is dedicated to etsy’s treasury-makers.
Today’s article is not about Secret Admirers.
“Admirers” is a new tool used by etsy’s Front Page (FP) publishers. The treasury curator (You) will gain hotness if you have a number of people liking your treasury (T). It will increase your odds to get noticed by the FP publishers.

My theory: “The more admirers the more chance your T can get to the FP”. I have collected data supporting my theory. (Source Craft Cult.com, VAULT data, 08/22 to 08/24).
I my opinion this tool was recently introduced since thousands of treasuries are created every single day and interesting finds need to make it to the FP.
Who makes it to FP?
Source: Craftcult.com, curator junkyardglitter FP at approx. 10 AM on Aug 24
·Ts < 2 days old can make it to the FP. Continue promoting the day after. ·Team Membership is important (over 90% belong to a team).
· New etsy shops can make their T to FP (2 out of 24 FPs per day).
· Your T needs an average of 30 admirers to get noticed (chart below).
A lot of time is spent each day making those treasuries and promoting your teammates creations. It is very rewarding if your treasury makes it to the front page. It will increase traffic to your shop and potentially visits will turn into sales.
CONCLUSION and FINDINDS
I noticed that Admirers plays great role in most of the treasuries that make it to the FP.
·About 24 FP Ts (1-hour slots) ·About 1 to 2 Ts come from new shops (each day)
. EURO and Canadian etsians make it to FP (3 Ts on aug 23, 10 pm - 12 am)
·Most of Ts have over 20 and 30 admirers (more than 1/2: 25/44 of 57% of cases)
·If you are lucky, your T can be in the FP for 2 hours. Usually during low traffic time 3-4 AM or 5-6 AM .
RECOMMENDATION
Team captains and team members should develop a guideline or strategy to promote the BEST of their Ts to the top.
Admirers tool should ONLY be used to promote the worthy FP treasuries.
Keep promoting your treasury even on day two.

note: Some data is missing because the Treasury could not be found (either been deleted or a teammate was promoting the T for the curator).

Back to College
Simple Healthy Recipes for your dorm (no cooking involved)
It is the time of year when students go back to school. Parents are particularly worried about college students’ nutrition. With everyone being so busy, it is hard to get good nutrition although most colleges offer a meal plan.
There is a great web site that provides hundreds of great healthy recipes. Here is the link from Minesota State University Healthy recipes submitted by their students:
The Bele Chere is Asheville’s big music and arts festival. It is the largest FREE 3-day festival in the Southeast featuring live, original music on 4 stages for 300,000 festivalgoers.
Bele Chere offers the unique opportunity to see, taste and hear some of the region’s finest art, cuisine and music. I have heard about the festival for so many years and decided to visit:
“A MUST festival, well attended festival for people watcher, cool mountain setting. Lots of pretty things and sounds.”
The festival is in its 33rd year and as grown and attracts people from all over. There is something for everyone from apple candy to unique Art. You can get henna tattoo designs or visit the tarot reading and horoscope tent. Here is a bird’s eye view of my finds.
I visited early Friday when the festival started to get first dibs on the beautiful handmade goodies. Many merchants came from all over as far as L.A.
Michelle Chang and Wayne Goa, both ceramic artists, load up and drive straight to Asheville from L.A. where they begin their 10 state-tour of festivals. They design from small pieces for wall décor to large piece like café table. Their products are very colorful and some pieces include coy fish reflecting part of their culture.
The streets were well patrolled to keep the festival fun and safe. There are plenty of refreshment stations to keep you hydrated while you meander through the exhibition. The Air dog show attracted a large crowd. Don’t forget to bring a chair if you are a music-goer.
