My mom taught me that if I had just painted my nails to stick them in ice & they will dry faster, & it works. She also told me that if I'm out of shaving cream to use conditioner, also works. She also told me to put lemon juice on my razor burn. Trust me it works, even though Eric put salt on it along w/ the lemon juice.... HAHA. But these all work for me.

What things did your mom or someone else teach you that works for you, if you're out of something, or are in a hurry?

Those toilet seat covers that you get in public bathrooms make good face blotters for oily skin. But please use the toilet seat cover on your face before you pee. Smile

Putting your eyeliner in the fridge to make them cold before you sharpen them will help get a smoother point.

Putting your eyeliner, nailpolish, lipgloss, and lipstick in the fridge will help them from becoming discolored as fast.

Using baking soda and lemon juice to clean, instead of fantastik, Comet and other products are not only better for the environment, but work just as well.

Use a sock, with your hand in it, to clean venetian blinds.

For a quick fix, use clear nailpolish to keep runs in stockings from spreading.

When you're hungry for pizza, but don't have any at home, order from Pizza Hut. They deliver.

Oh yeah, and microwaving a CD renders it useless, but it looks really cool. However, I wouldn't try this in a nice microwave, nor should you let it go for more than a second or two.

Another thing that isn't a good idea to microwave... raw eggs (in the shell). Very explosive.

Cheap tequila is not delicious. Especially if you try to chase it with warm Fleishmann's vodka.

If food is fuzzy, I would not recommend eating it, regardless of how hungry you are.

Flava Flav should not be allowed on TV or any other form of media.

Pizza is always better than not pizza.

It doesn't matter how many CDs are sold or how many radio stations play it, country music sucks.

Al Gore did not invent the Internet. A corollary, the Internet is not a bunch of pipes.

Adding Cool-Whip to anything makes it better.
Adding cheese to anything makes it better.
Adding more cheese to anything makes it better.
Adding bacon to anything automatically makes it delicious.
Deep-frying any of the above automatically makes it more deliciouser.

Despite lies your mother might tell you, vegetables taste like crap and they aren't worth eating. Grab a second burger instead.

The Easter Bunny doesn't exist.

No, it's not true! Smexy has been misinformed. And Arabella didn't kill the Easter Bunny, someone killed her dreams.

Remember to take the plastic of Kraft cheese before devouring

Do not swallow gum

Retainers and gum do not mix

Mentos and diet pepsi does explode

Pop rocks of coke sort of explodes and fizzes

Unfortuanantly under most circumstances, willing your homework to explode will not work

I tried it and didn't like it... it kinda hurt my mouth and teeth, actually.



And I know, ravvy.... NY might have the best tasting pizza, but it fails at pizza delivery.

Never attempt something that you have no knowledge of, and could present a damaging affect if done wrong.

Especially when it comes to electrical stuff.




Ooooh, smacking the bottom of a glass bottle or jar can help release the air and makes it easier to open. This works well with Snapple bottle, but not pickle jars.


Changing the time on the clock will stop it from blinking 12:00.

pop rocks and soda did not kill mikey, he went to school with my old boss and he said mikey was a jerk irl

use sugarfree packets such as equal/sweet n low (not splenda) to kill ants, the sugarfree ingredient is toxic to them and their nest.

This only works if you use a can opener to open your cat's food.

The cat will eventually associate this sound with food.

It's not much different from Pavlov's dog, who would salivate when he heard the bell.
