Tea bags can be used for so much more than making tea. Once wet, you can use them for sunburn and bug bite relief or to help heal bruises faster, which is all thanks to the tannins present in tea.

Why is this person rubbing a banana peel all over their teeth? Easy! Banana peels are a natural teeth whitener. Simply take a portion of a ripe banana's peel and rub it over your teeth for two minutes. Let stand for ten minutes (keeping your mouth open), then brush your teeth with toothpaste. You will definitely notice a difference.

10. Metal Spoons

Aside from looking super cool, putting spoons on your eyes can actually eliminate puffiness and dark circles. Put spoons in the freezer for a few minutes, then place them over your eyes where they naturally fit with your eyes' contours. Start making gentle, circular motions to get the blood flowing in the area and you'll notice a difference right away.

11. Dryer Sheets

This is a magical one, folks. For dirty, hard-to-clean plans, place a fresh dryer sheet in the bottom and fill it with lukewarm water. Let it sit in the sink overnight and the pan will be so easy to clean in the morning. No more sweating and scrubbing for you!

Drinking straws are perfect for keeping necklaces untangled! You may not need that baby powder trick after all.
