I owned a full set of tools by the time I hit my twenties because my mom and my Aunt Jerry firmly believed that a woman should be able to use a drill, a hammer, and a table saw — manicure and all.

The great thing about getting comfortable with tools is that you feel more, well, independent. (Although, power tools 101 is not exactly every woman’s cup of tea. Some women would rather leave that stuff to the professionals.)

That said, feeling powerless to fix something that goes wrong or gets broken is not a great feeling to have. That’s why I recommend that you research a stable of qualified professionals before disaster strikes.

What every woman should have in her iPhone:

1) A Liquor Store That Delivers
Whether it’s a last-minute party or a champagne emergency, this is one number that comes in super-handy.

2) A Fantastic Auto Mechanic:
First, you need someone dependable for your usual oil change and tune up, but frankly, there’s nothing scarier than taking your car to an unknown garage after a breakdown. If your Acura Integra falls apart on some Texas back road, you probably want something a bit more dependable than just searching for Houston auto repair in the phone book.

3) A Handyman
Everyone should learn how to do basic home repairs, but some stuff is too messy (ugh, plumbing) or too time consuming to do on your own (repainting all the baseboards in your house…) TIP: If you want to learn some basic tool skills, try volunteering at a Habitat for Humanity house. Not only will you be doing something good for your fellow humans, you’ll be picking up some pretty handy skills as well.

4) An Excellent Babysitter/Housesitter/Pet Sitter
There’s nothing more stressful than having the opportunity of a lifetime only to realize that you have no one to care for little Billy/your plants/Fluffy & Malomar. Save yourself the stress and find a a great sitter and a fantastic backup sitter before the need arises.

Date Ideas - 5 Dates You Can Have On Your Couch

This Tuesday on Daytime, I’m talking about 5 Date Nights You Can Have From Your Couch

After months of holiday parties and spending, you and your wallet probably need a low-stress alternative to the usual date night. Below you’ll find 5 cheap and low-stress date nights — the best part? You don’t even need to leave your house.

1) Have a Retro Movie Night
Go for the movies you loved as a teen — whether it’s Sixteen Candles or She’s All That or Teen Wolf. Snuggle up on the couch with a big bowl of popcorn and a blanket for two.

2) Make a Game of It
Break out the Scrabble, Yahtzee, or just a deck of cards for a night of at-home fun. Cindy’s tip: Naked Scrabble. (Lock the door if you have kids!)

3) Try a Kitchen Table Spa Retreat
It’s sometimes hard to talk the guys into this one, but they love it once you convince them to try it. Pick up a facial in a tube at your local drugstore and spend the night pampering each other.

4) Have Fondue for Two
Even if you don;t have your own fondue pot, you can cut up your favorite fruits (i LOVE pineapple) and nuke a bowl of chocolate chips in the microwave. Add skewers or toothpicks (shrimp forks work too) and have yourselves a romantic picnic. This one goes over pretty well in the bedroom too. (I gave Dave a hard time about this one, but as anyone who’s seen 9 1/2 Weeks can tell you, food can be fun…

5) Story Night for Grown-ups
A company called www.UStarNovels.com will personalize a steamy romance novel in an exotic location just for you and your partner, complete with details about your friends, nicknames, and favorite perfumes. Choose smut style from romantic to smokin’ hot steamy, and do an entirely different kind of reading in bed.
