Polish your shoes with a banana peel: A banana peel can do wonders to polish your dirty shoes even if you do not have a polish. Just rub the inside of the peel on your shoe like a polish and rub it with a soft cloth after that. You will have a better shine than a shoe polish, we guarantee.

Make your own aftershave at home: These three simple ingredients at home will help you make your own aftershave at almost no cost, that too really effective and natural. Here is how you can do it!
