    I dare any of you out there to say with a straight face that you’ve never been caught on the bogs without loo paper. The awkward shuffle to the other bathroom, the cry for help at home, the public toilet ‘stranger in the cubicle next door sliding a roll under the door’ solution, you haven’t lived until you have felt the fear.

    Sometimes the things we run out of around the house also interfere with the odious task of looking in tip-top shape. That’s where these simple beauty hacks come in handy, your cheat sheet on how to use household items as beauty products.  These below are courtesy of Cosmopolitan:

    Wash your face with olive oil

    Like attracts like, so the olive oil you wash your face with will act as a magnet to the oil that’s on your skin and in your pores, drawing it out, and leaving you with a gorgeous glow and super clean skin.

    Blot your face with a coffee filter

    They’re made out of similar ingredients as blotting papers, so stash a few in your purse if it’s hot out and pat yourself down when you need to reduce shine.

    Use cold green tea bags to decrease puffiness under your eyes

    The quickest way to de-puffing and tightening your under-eye skin is to apply a cold, caffeine-based product, like two cold green-tea bags, under your eyes for five or six minutes.

    Lather your legs in conditioner if you run out of shaving cream

    The purpose of shaving cream is to give you a hydrating cushion between the razor and your skin. So if you ever run out of shaving cream and are in a pinch (or just want to save a few bucks), use your hair conditioner to lather up your legs pre-shave.

    Make your own body scrub with body wash and raw brown sugar

    Brown sugar isn’t just good for baking. You can also use it as a body exfoliator. Just take your favorite body wash and pour some brown sugar into the bottle, and then scrub away.

    You get all that beautiful people? Good, now get this. There really is no need to run out of all your household essentials because now there’s someone who will do all the hard work for you. The peeps over at Stockbox have made it easier than ever to ensure you have everything you need exactly when you need it.

    You pick your goods and plop them in your box, create a regular delivery schedule (weekly, bi-monthy, monthly, tailor it exactly to your needs) and get them delivered right to your door.

    It really is as easy as making your list once and then watching Stockbox deliver it at a time of your choosing. If your order happens to exceed R200 there’s the added bonus of delivery being absolutely free, which is considerably cheaper than driving to the shop, finding parking, paying the car guard and battling the crowds at checkout.

    No more sitting on the loo wondering where our next ply will come from for us – sign up for Stockbox now and you can kiss those days goodbye.
