Listerine has antiseptic and disinfectant ingredients while apple cider vinegar(ACV) has a high acidity level. You can soak your feet in equal parts of Listerine mouthwash and ACV for 15-20 minutes, twice a day and the toenail fungus should clear up.
Listerine can also be applied to blisters (pour on a piece of cotton swab and dab onto blister 2-3 times per day until it dries out), and it also clears dandruff.
Sugar can stop the hiccups
Hiccups are irritating when you get them,, but now you can halt them in just under one minute simply by swallowing a teaspoon full of dry sugar.
Experts believe that the tongue overloads the nerve endings in the mouth due to the sudden sweetness and this put a stop to the spasm.
Chewing peppermint gum to destress while commuting
Studies have shown that chewing peppermint gum refreshes your senses and reduces tiredness by as much as 20%.
People who took part in a test resulted in 25% less agitation and 30% increased awareness. The journey also seemed 30% shorter for those who chewed the gum, compared to those who did not.

When you thought that all the possible uses for duct tape has been well, used up, simply by sticking a small piece of duct tape to warts seem to have about 85% success rate.
Other methods of removing warts can prove to be painful. For example, cryotherapy, acid preparations, laser therapy, tap occlusion and heat. Compared to duct tape, cryotherapy which is to burn off the wart with liquid nitrogen has only a success of 60% and can be costly.
Just cut a small pies of duct tape and cover the wart for one week. Wash and clean the area with soap and a pumice stone to scrap and soften the skin. Reapply the duct tape for another week. Repeat and continue until the wart drops off.

Motion sickness triggers excessive saliva, which can make you feel like vomiting.
Eating olives or sucking on a lemon at the first indication of sea sickness can help ease nausea because of the tannins that exist in these fruits.
Tomatoes clears acne
I have slapped on slices of tomatoes on my acne ridden face once but it seemed to make my acne more angry and redder! It could also be that my skin is sensitive to the acidity of tomatoes. I really don't know. But if you want to give it a try, do it with a word of caution.
Tomatoes have loads of vitamins C and A, antioxidants and acidic content, so they can be used to treat a variety of minor skin ailments.
This cure is claimed to be especially good for oily skin. Just mash up a small tomato into a pulp, make a mask on your face for one hour. Rinse with tepid water and pat dry.
Do it once a day for a week.
