\nFood isn\u2019t the only thing that can benefit from being stored in a refrigerated environment! In fact, there are plenty of household items that can benefit from being kept cold for a variety of reasons. Here are the most unexpected items you may want to consider making room for in your fridge!\n
\n
There\u2019s a good reason why you often see flowers stored in refrigerated cases at florists and floral departments! The cold environment helps prevent the petals and stems of fresh cut flowers from wilting like they tend to do at warmer temperatures.\n
You can use this fact to your advantage the next time you buy flowers for someone, because you can buy them a day or two beforehand and keep them fresh in your fridge. That\u2019s one less thing to worry about!\n
\n
While most eye creams are perfectly fine to store at room temperature, a lot of people prefer to store theirs in the fridge. Applying a cool eye cream in the morning can feel really refreshing, and it will help reduce puffiness and redness around your eyes too!\n
\n
The oils in lipstick can eventually spoil and render your favorite shade unusable! You can avoid this unfortunate scenario by storing your most expensive or treasured lipsticks in your fridge.\n
Refrigerated lipsticks do have a tendency to \u201csweat\u201d when brought back to room temperature, which isn\u2019t necessarily harmful\u2014the moisture beads can leave marks, but it\u2019ll still be perfectly wearable. I recommend refrigerating \u201cspecial occasion\u201d lipsticks you don\u2019t wear all that regularly, because they\u2019ll last a lot longer that way!\n
\n
Warm, slightly softened eyeliner might be easier to apply, but it\u2019s almost impossible to sharpen! When your eyeliner needs to be sharpened, stick it in the fridge for a while to firm up, and you\u2019ll have no problem achieving the perfect point!\n
Sleeping during the summer can be challenging for me because I have a hard time relaxing when I feel hot or sweaty. I often find myself seeking refuge on \u201cthe other side of the pillow\u201d to feel some relief, if only momentarily.\n
\n
Storing nail polish in the fridge can extend its lifespan dramatically. Refrigeration can make nail polish more viscous and tricker to apply smoothly, but it thins out a bit as it starts to come back to room temperature. As with lipstick, I recommend refrigerating shades you don\u2019t wear very often to help preserve them.\n
\n
If you own any organic or natural cosmetics, or have a few of your own homemade concoctions, you definitely want to store those in your fridge! Many of these types of products are made without preservatives, and refrigeration is your best bet at keeping them fresh so you can actually use them before they spoil.\n
\n
One of the keys to making a good, stiff whipped cream is keeping everything as cold as possible. The easiest way to do that is to just toss your mixing bowl, whisk, or whisk attachment in the fridge for a while before you want to make some.\n
You\u2019ll find that it\u2019s much easier to achieve those stiff peaks with chilled equipment. (This tip is something you can use any time of year, but it\u2019s especially useful during the heat of the summer!)\n
Ned to add something to a letter you\u2019ve already sealed? Pop that envelope in a plastic bag in the freezer for an hour or two to loosen the adhesive. Once it\u2019s room temperature again, you should be able to re-seal it.\n
Possibly an old wives\u2019 tale, but some people swear that freezing your tights and hose strengthens the fibers against runs and pulls and makes them last twice as long. You only need to do this routine every once in a while (like at the start of the fall tights season): Get the tights damp, fold them into a plastic bag and freeze them overnight. Let them \u201cthaw\u201d the next day and they\u2019re good to go.\n
\n
Good jeans get to look and feel really good if you never wash them. When they (inevitably) start to feel dingy and saggy, a quick stint in the freezer will help them feel fresh.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
