Looking to get rid of Tutu's old arm chair? Don't trash it — "freecycle" it. The Worldwide Freecycle Network is open to anyone who wants to recycle something — be it a fax machine, piano or baby clothes — by posting it online. The service also is open to those seeking items. Just one rule: Everything posted must be free. For details, visit www.freecycle.org.

KEEP IT SIMPLE

NATURAL BUG SPRAY

If your plans this weekend call for outdoor activities — maybe a hike, picnic or beach day — consider making your own insect repellent with this recipe from www.simplehomeremedies.com: Add five drops of lavender oil to four tablespoons water and two teaspoons of rubbing alcohol. Put the liquid in either a small bottle to use as a splash or in a spray bottle to apply on your skin.
