Spin salad: Place a pillowcase inside another; fill with rinsed lettuce leaves; tie both pillowcases with string and throw into the washing machine with a towel for balance. Run the spin cycle, and you've turned your washer into a giant salad spinner.
Remove makeup: Bear with us on this one, but if you're all out of makeup remover, a dab of shortening will do the trick.
Get chewing gum out of your hair: Somehow, Junior's bubblegum ended up stuck in your hair. No problem. Apply peanut butter, and rub the gum until it comes out.
Facial: Don't waste mustard on a hot dog -- spread it on your face instead! Use a mild yellow brand to soothe and stimulate your skin. But keep away from your eyes and test on a small area first to make sure it doesn't irritate you.
Smelly armpits: Not only will splashing a little vinegar under your arms reduce B.O., this method also does away with deodorant stains on your blouse or shirt.
Emergency shaving cream: Out of shaving cream? Take the butter from your toast and slather it onto your wet skin for a smooth shave.
Dry up pimples: The only thing worse than being a teen with a zit is being an adult with one. Crush an aspirin and add a bit of water. Apply the paste to the pimple, wait a few minutes, and then wash off. It will reduce the redness and relieve the sting.
Soften dry, scaly elbows: Suffer from dinosaur elbows? Treat them with a lemon juice/baking soda paste.
Remove a splinter: If digging around your finger with a needle to get a splinter out doesn't appeal to you, then cover the wound with tape. After three days, pull off the tape and the splinter may come with it.
