1. No iron at home?
Your flat iron is perfect for quick jobs. Great to straighten up those shirt collars!
2. Upgrade your old heels
Now you don’t have to throw out last season’s pair when you can give them a quick and easy upgrade with the fabric of your choice.
3. Avoid runs in your tights with hair spray
Clear nail polish works too. Just spray or paint some on your runs.
4. No more green skin from cheap rings

5. Smart packing
Pack your shoes in a shower cap to keep the clothes in your suitcase clean while you travel.
6. Nail polish bottles getting too hard?
Wrap a rubber band around the lid for extra grip. Easy peasy.
7. No time to wash stinky jeans? Try this:
Leaving your jeans in the freezer overnight will “shock” the bacteria and make your jeans smell much better, without any washing.
8. Curl your hair with a flat iron! Yes, a flat iron
Now you can save that extra cash instead of buying another hair iron! Just twist the iron rather than running it straight through your hair. This one takes some practice to perfect though.

17. Don’t want to risk your perfect manicure?
Just use a staple remover to slide your new keys on your ring.

Hair conditioner works just as well, and maybe even better! Baby oil works too.
