Apply a little bit of peanut butter to the stain and throw your clothes in the washing machine (40 degrees). Because of the oil in peanut butter, you can rub the gum right out of your hair.
Do you want to be sure the water doesn’t boil over? Add a bit of butter when cooking pasta or potatoes. You can also use a wooden spoon. We do not recommend this when you are using a gas stove.
Fruit flies can be very annoying. Use vinegar! Mix together a little water with a dash of vinegar and some dishwashing soap. The soap makes the fruit flies sink and drown.
You can, of course, use chewing gum, but what is also really effective to get rid of garlic breath, is chewing on some parsley. Supposedly, you can also use a piece of dark chocolate (85%)!

First of, it will be useful to know what cause the nausea. Did you drink any alcohol the night before? Eat some dry bread or crackers. Dry bread will absorb a large part of the alcohol in your digestive system.

Brush your hair – or more accurately, your skull – once a day. This promotes the blood flow in your head and makes your hair grow faster.
Take away some of the pain by making a paracetamol melt in your mouth. Keep the paracetamol on your ulcer as much as possible. Use flavoured paracetamol if you hate the taste.
The cheapest way to decalcify your washing machine is using vinegar and soda! Run a washing cycle every other month at 90 degrees with soda and vinegar in the machine. This works decalcifies your machine and removes any lingering traces of fabric softener. Of course, don’t add any laundry to it!
