Pick Me Up! Special – September 2019

Check out this amazing advice from our readers...

Cheap and easy storage

Instead of purchasing fancy makeup

storage, store your makeup and brushes

in glass jars. These are from IKEA and

they were super cheap!

Holly, Liverpool

Working at the car wash

Clean your car seats with a lint roller. It’s

great at collecting all the hairs and dust

and saves a vacuum! Amy, Wiltshire

In the garden

I am terrible at gardening and

keeping plants healthy, so I’ve

started decorating my garden

with ornaments instead. They

last forever and add some

colour! Jade, Cornwall

Citr

To clean a wooden chopping board,

sprinkle on a handful of salt and rub

with half a lemon. Rinse with clean

water and dry to ensure it is clean

and germ-free. Yasmin, Saltford

In the bag

Wipe your purse and

bag with a disinfectant

wipe regularly. You won’t

realise how dirty they are!

Julie, Bath

Squeaky clean

I use The Pink Stuff to clean so many things

around my house. Scoop a blob out of the pot

using a clean cloth. Spread onto a surface and rub

in circular motions then rinse the residue. I clean

any pans that look scorched and they sparkle!

Lucie, Hertford

Steam room

After you’ve cooked greasy food

in the oven, place an oven proof

bowl filled with water and lemon

juice on the top shelf. The heat

from the oven will steam the

inside and it’ll smell as goodas

new. Theodora, Bristol

Squeeze and swirl

If you don’t have any makeup

brush cleaner, use your hair

conditioner. Squeeze a dollop

of conditioner in a glass and

fill with warm water, swirl your

brushes and then rinse with

clean water and lay flat to dry.

Amelia, Stratford

Flower power

If you forget to water

your flowers during the

hot months, leave a few

ice cubes in the plant pot.

They will slowly melt and

hydrate your plants!

Lia, Essex
