There are always those annoying last minute problems that you wish you had a quick-fix for…getting rid of ants, getting rid of the smell of paint, making your clothes static and cling-free…and the list goes on. We’ve put together a list of quick-fixers for some of the most common nuisances of our daily life.
1. Static:
Is your favorite skirt clinging to you no matter what you do?
Spray hair-spray over and inside the skirt and let it dry, this should fix the problem, in a quick minute.
2. Ants???
It’s that rainy season when everywhere you look it’s ants galore. To fix the problem, when you see a few ants scourging before they call in the rest of their clan, use black board chalk (it’s powder) and sprinkle it on them. Then, when you see them trying to get away, see where they’re exiting from (it’s probably the same place they entered) and put the chalk there too. Chalk is non-toxic and doesn’t smell!
3. Can’t wait to get rid of the smell of paint after you have just finished your room?
Leave out a pail of water over night; in the morning the smell should be gone.
4. Got an oil stain?
Sprinkle talcum powder over the oil stain and lay a towel on top of it. Flip the cloth with the stain over (so the towel is on the bottom) and iron over the stain. The stain should lift off the cloth onto the towel!
5. Gifting:
Don’t you hate it when you need to give a gift but the price sticker just won’t come off? Instead of spending half an hour trying to get the sticker off clean, just place most of a piece of clear tape over the price and then quickly lift it off (in a jerky motion). The ink should stick onto the tape leaving the sticker still on the gift, but without a price.
6. Wanna enhance your lashes without the mascara?
Girls, now you don’t have to worry about mascara smearing, or not being able to touch your eyes. Put Vaseline (petroleum jelly) on your eye lashes with your fingers, then just use an eyelash curler to get the curl. Your lashes will look more voluminous without the danger of smearing.
7. Having trouble packing?
In order to be more efficient with your suitcase space, roll up your socks and place them inside your shoes. This way, your shoes won’t be flat by the time you reach your destination, and you’ll have extra space where the socks used to be.
8. Flat Hair Day?
If your hair lacks volume in the morning, simply sprinkle some talcum powder on your scalp then rub it through. The powder will absorb the oil and give your hair more volume.
