Vaseline for Long-Lasting Scent
Products Needed: Vaseline, perfume or cologne
What it Does: Holds the scent for longer
Cost: $2*
Have you ever spent a small fortune on a perfume or cologne you adore, only to be disappointed when you can’t smell it by midday? Even the most costly perfumes don’t always linger until you leave the office, but don’t worry, there is a solution for that as well. You don’t need to spend more money on a different perfume, according to frugal experts; simply apply a little layer of Vaseline to your wrists and neck before spraying the aroma. The vaseline will keep it in place, allowing it to last much longer. What’s the best part? At Target, a tub costs less than $2.
Deodorant for Blisters…Or Servants
Products Needed: Roll on or spray-on deodorant/servants
What it Does: Creates a barrier to stop rubbing
Cost: $3*
Not only may deodorant be applied to specific places to prevent chafing, but it can also be applied to the feet to prevent shoes or sandals from rubbing and causing blisters. Simply spritz your feet or apply some roll-on deodorant and you’re ready to go for a pain-free day. You might also take a page from Queen Elizabeth’s book. The Queen is said to give her new shoes to a servant to wear for a few days to soften them. They’re comfy to wear by the time they’re returned.
