2. Lemon Juice
As a natural whitening agent, lemon juice can be used for a number of things from whitening hair to cleansing your nails. It can also be used for treating blemishes on the skin. If all else fails, you can always use it for making pancakes. Mmmm, we say why choose one or the other when you can cook and look great all at the same time? The pancakes should also keep the little ones content for a while!
3. Eggs
While we prefer ours poached on a slice of toast with a sprinkling of salt and pepper, eggs can also be put to good use when it comes to your hair. Just crack a couple, whisk them up, apply to your locks and then let it dry. Once that is done, jump into the shower and rinse the egg off with cold water. This should leave you with nice shiny hair. Maybe have a hot cup of coffee waiting for you when you get out of the shower.

4. Baking Soda
Just when you thought it couldn’t be used for anything better than making muffins! Baking soda, when mixed with water, creates a fantastic cleansing shampoo for your hair. It can also be used for whitening teeth. All you have to do is sprinkle some on a toothbrush and get scrubbing. As well as your hair, it can also do wonders for your feet. If they are feeling a bit rough or sweaty (which they tend to be when you're running after a couple of ankle-biters) sprinkle some powder on them and rub in.
5. Honey
As well as tasting delicious, honey also has huge potential as a home beauty treatment and money-saver. Not only can it be applied directly as a face mask for moisturising skin and fighting bacteria but it can be used as a hair conditioner, also applied directly. While you're doing that, the other half can make something for dinner and take care of the kids. Everybody wins.
