Not *those* tips, you filthy beggars!

Beauty tips, life hacks. Useful things, helpful solutions.

Post them below!

If you find you only have the cord for your charger, and not the plug, you can use the usb port in a tv to charge, without.

And! Boots sells a great smoothing AHA body lotion by Revolution (other body lotions are available!). I’ve been using it for a month and my skin is much improved

Your turn….!

Old or cheap toothbrushes are really handy in the cleaning caddy, they get around taps great and into the fridge door seal thingy too

Apply the glue, bend the lash for a few seconds then leave them for the glue to go sticky (about the time it takes for a cup of coffee). Use 2 fingers to pull your eyelid straight and the lash will go on correctly and firmly first time.

It’s also great for cleaning flux off gold after it’s been soldered and much easier to take in your hold luggage on flights than sulphuric acid

If you forget your trolly token or don't have a coin a normal house key(the round top ones) work perfectly.

The little arrow beside the pump in your fuel gauge points to which side your fuel cap is on .

Put your wax melt burner in the freezer for a few mins and the old wax will pop out easily with no mess.

Get rid of water marks on wood by popping a cotton teatowel over it, and gently running a warm iron on the top. It'll draw the moisture out.

To prevent tears when chopping an onion, peel and halve it then briefly wash it under the cold tap. It stops the molecules of sting getting into your eyes when chopping.

Use your partners shower gel,shampoo and conditioner and any other products it's a life hack if you manage to fill the bottle back up to the marks they've made and get away with it otherwise a life sentence.... But if they don't like the smell of you remind them that you've had to put up with it daily
