Under a Fiver Creation of the Week!

This is a really simple, yet effective way to make a colorful recycled place mat or coaster using old magazines.
You will need some old magazines, a roll of tape ,Scissors or guillotine and some P.V.A glue.
Choose pages  from the magazine that have lots of color on them. Cut the paper into strips about 4 cm wide and the length of the magazine,fold the strips over a few times till about 1 cm then roll it up into a spiral(think snail shell) then use a small piece of tape to secure. Attach the next folded strip to the spiral with tape then wrap around then tape again,Repeat this until you reach the desired size of your coaster or place mat. Paint a medium layer of P.V.A glue all over the front and back of the mat to seal it.
These cost almost nothing to make and dont take much time to reach a decent size,this one took me about half an hour!

Half Price Alert!

If you want whiter teeth for half the price try this Beverly Hills  Formula Whitening tooth paste for £1.49 at Superdrug!
I tried it yesterday for the first time and as I drink loads of tea my teeth are badly stained ,you leave it on your teeth for 1 minute before brushing to get a super quick whitening effect or just brush regularly with it !I noticed the difference straight away!

Tried and Tested!

I'm a big fan of Berocca for a concentrated vitamin quick fix (especially to kerb a nasty hangover!).I spotted this version in Poundland and would definitely recommend it. The ingredients are the same ,the only downside is the tropical flavour isn't as nice as the Berroca Orange but the overall effect is the same. Berroca is £4.69 for 15 tablets. These are £1.00 for 20 tablets.So you could get 80 for the same price of one Berocca pack!Bargain!
