Does anyone have any tips for stuff that was made for one purpose but does great used for something else?
For instance I've found SuperDrug's Purple Massage Oil (Don't know if they still make it)
Is great for applying to the face before applying shaving gel and then shaving - makes the blade glide so smoothly ... it also makes your hair so smooth if you rub a little in. Sounds weird but work so well!!

hey I've been telling people about the Honey thing in the health section .. don't think no one believes me!! Honey also good for spots if applied to the face and good for healing burns.
I find polo necks good for covering up love bites!!!
oooh .. lots of suggestion .. you are a clever girl!!
If you eat raw onions it clears phlegm in your throat if you have a cold...... but who can stand eating raw onion?!
Raw onion is delish
I thought this too but stuff from other places cures mine
mate ive got a head full of useless information!! I really have!! I read crap all the time!! tips n stuff like that!! I know loads more just cant think!!!! Anytime you need to know summit really stupid and pointless...come my way!;)
Same as some other massaging product when turned upside down.
Just search boysstuff
ROFL
and jelly soap dishes with knobbles on are good for giving a wank!! seen that on a program last night!!! and shower heads sprayed on clit on full power is good too...here we go again...smutsville!
Winner
So can shampoo. God, I'm useful.
What's that thing where if you put beer or some alcohol thing (God, memory, where did you goooo?!) on your hair it makes it...something? Ugh, the word that instantly comes to mind is smelly but it's meant to do something.
And if you mix cola with water and use it on your hair in a spray thing it's meant to do something too. Something to do with curly hair. Ugh. Ok, I'm really not useful but I tend to just buy things rather than mixing random stuff up.
Ignore me.
In Africa they use old news papers to dry down car windscreens - it works really well and leave no watermarks or streaks unlike most cloths.
And I think Vicky is right all honey will stand some chance of helping people with HayFever - but I think most people recommend the rawer type (with the honey comb inside) and if possible one made from local flowers.
Hot water or any heat can revive a dead battery - works mostly on Camera batteries - cold tempretures make a camera battery go flat very quickly - espacially if you use the flash, but by sticking a battery under a bathroom hand dryer I got it working for a few more shots. Hot water works as well but first you need to stick it in a plastic bag waterproof bag.
Beer is supposed to make it really shiney, as is vinegar. Never tried it though, can't imagine either would smell very nice!
Completely unrelated to the subject but anyway!
Apparently, If you rub half an onion on the sole of your foot, a few minutes later you can taste it in your mouth! Never tried it tho! x
It does work - poor a can of beer over your hair (or get into a bit of a beer fight) & when you wash it out you'll have beautiful glossy locks :yes:
If you have run out of nail polish... put a coat of clear nail polish over the top of your existing nail polish, and rub with a cotton wool pad... it comes right off
Another nail one:
If you need a quick refresher... like for yellow nails, or not so sparkly ones.. get a bowl of water and put in some Bicarbonate of Soda, soak your nails and bam! lovely looking clean white nails
Wonderbra's Make wonderful bikini tops hehe
Oh, and if a button has come off your fave top, and u only have white cotton, simply colour the cotton in with the same colour felt tip pen as the top! tada!
Blisteeze makes a lovely lipgloss!
You can revive an old stodgy nail polish by simply pouring a small amount of nail polish remover into the affected bottle!
Belly bars make great earings!!
If you don't like using fake tan.. simply put a small amount of fake tan into a daily moisturiser, and you've got urself a gently bronzing moisturiser
To revive limp looking hair, dampen with warm water and blow dry hair upside down... throw head back and tease with fingers and you have a lovely volume head of hair!
That's it for now... I'll be back with more top cheats though
Need you be wearing it at the time?
Wow I am so tempted to try that as the batteries in my discman have run out.....:chin:
mincey pies = eyes
if ya have bags under them, preperation h cream reduces the swelling
if your out on the town in heels and they are hurting...neat vodka numbs them!
I think that's like my heating battery suggestion - probably the body heat!!
I think the hemeroid cream can also be used to shrink spots??
when i was at a reel big fish gig, the trumpeter emptied a can of beer over my head (when the played their song beer) and the next day my hair was gorgeous
(and yes before you start i know i should of drunk it but o well it was baking)
