Peanut Butter For Peeling Off Labels And Other Such Wonders
You might think you have it all made, what with a high-powered career and enough income to surround yourself with all the leather your little heart could ever want - from leather envelopes to leather padfolios. But here’s something you should never forget. No matter how successful you are now and never mind that you roll in so much dough you actually got your chauffeur and driver their own passports and leather passport holders, things will not always go your way.
Singer Alanis Morissette said it best: a traffic jam when you’re already late, a death row pardon two minutes too late, a free ride when you’ve already paid, a traffic jam when you’re already late, a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break, and yes, having ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife. Clearly, you should be ready for the surprises life throws at you. How? Improvise. The best way to start is at home. Take a look around you. There are many things you can use during those rare moments when you need a quick fix or an unusual solution.
1. If you want to keep glasses and goggles from fogging, simply coat these with toothpaste.
2. Annoyed by price tags and labels that are just so hard to strip off glassware? Get a jar of peanut rubber! Rub peanut butter onto these tags and labels. Your favorite sandwich spread can do magic, and this time around, it will help you peel off stubborn tags and labels with ease.
3. How do you get rid of wax stains? Take a paper towel. Then, iron it over the stain. The wax will be absorbed by the towel.
4. If your daughter has outgrown her slinky, don’t throw it out the window yet. Clean the slinky and put it to use as container. It can hold anything from CDs to toast!
5. Suffering from heavy dandruff? Pour vinegar onto your hair.
6. If you have black heads and dead skin, Elmer can help! Put Elmer’s Glue onto your face. Let it dry and then peel it off. You will be amazed by the dead skin and blackhead the dried glue removes.
7. If your son has smeared crayons on the wall, put toothpaste onto the graffiti and then brush it away like you would brush tartar off.
8. Sunburnt and hurting? Get a big jar of Nestea and empty onto your bathwater.
9. To remove fungus on fingernails or toenails, apply vapor rub.
10. To make flowers last longer, put the flowers in a vase with 7-up in it.
