Ever looked at your favourite product and thought, “I bet I could find another use for this?” Me too!
Here are a few alternative uses for everyday products:
- Lemons! Got too much of ‘em? Here are some ways to maximize their use, and I’m not talking about lemonade.
- Whiten your fingernails: Slice a piece of lemon and rub the pulp all over the surface of your nails
- Make your white clothes whiter: Add half a cup of fresh lemon juice to your laundry load; not only will your clothes be whiter, they’ll smell lemony fresh!
- Lip exfoliator: got dry, cracked lips? Rub a bit of lemon juice on your lips before bed and wash off in the morning to help remove dead, dried skin.
Paper Clips. Got too many electronics?
- Use paper clips to keep phone and laptop wires in check
- Or pin together a broken bracelet
How about newspaper? If you’re like me and still like hard copy reading material versus its electronic counterpart, then you’ll have plenty of paper laying around. Well, how making good use of all that newsprint paper?
- Make a vinegar and water solution and use the newspapers to clean window surfaces
Crumple a few pieces up and stick them in your shoes. Your kicks will be fresher by morning!
