9.Finally, just a quick tip to help with eyelashes.

Clean an old mascara brush with warm water and Dawn dish soap and when no mascara is on it. Before bed use the brush to apply Vaseline to your eyelashes. My lashes have grown immensely since I started using this hack.

I know some of these seem strange and I was skeptical, but these every day items can serve more of a purpose than in your kitchen. My skin looks clear and stays smooth, my hair is way less damaged, and I'm spending SO much less on products that don't last me very long. The good news about most of these items is even buying in bulk is incredibly cheap! I found most of these recipes on Pinterest, check them all out!
