Whether you're married or not, travel with a wedding ring on. It needn't be pricey, just a dummy to convey that you aren't single and traveling alone. Unfortunately, some men will respect an imaginary man more than the lady standing right in front of them.

Certain things cost less and function better when purchased in the men's section. For instance, men's razors are cheaper than women's; the only distinction is that they aren't pink or purple, which, apparently, improves the shaving experience (it doesn't). Often it's just the scent and the packaging that differs, yet the product is the same.

Shaving cream can be substituted with baby oil for a lower cost and more hydrating result. If you don't like baby oil, you can also use conditioner in place of shaving cream. Your skin will still feel silky, and you'll get the same glide.

Create a card listing your food allergies and drug sensitivities in case something occurs to you while you're out and about.

While we can't prevent tights from ripping, we can reduce the likelihood of it occurring. After you put on your stockings, simply mist them with hairspray.

While wiping deodorant marks with water works occasionally, it doesn't work on all colors and kinds of fabric. To remove the deodorant stain, try rubbing a dryer sheet over it. If there aren't any dryer sheets available, you can gently rub the item's cloth together. However, as it may stretch or wrinkle the fabric, this should only be used as a last option.

Luckily for all the Rapunzels out there, scrunchies have made a comeback. Unlike traditional elastic hair ties, scrunchies don't pull the hair out. Also, they are unlikely to leave any marks afterward. While the best option is silk scrunchies, they can get pricey (although they are absolutely worth the investment), so you could use velvet scrunchies instead.

A disposable razor or an old razor you were planning to bin will get the job done just like an expensive fabric razor. Simply pull the fabric delicately and use a razor to shave off the pilled bits.

Dryer sheets come to the rescue once again! If none of your hair products seem to eliminate frizz or flyaways, place a dryer sheet on your hairbrush to eliminate static or flyaways and comb it through. This hack works because hair is negatively charged, whereas dryer sheets are positively charged, resulting in smoothed-down, tamed hair.

We are all familiar with the dreadful struggle to leave the shower while on your period as you race against time and gravity. There's an easy hack to avoid this. Before taking a shower, secure your pad to your underwear and place it on the counter, where you can reach it easily. This way, when you get out of the shower, your pad and underwear will be ready. Or, you can put it on while still in the shower.

You don't have to forgo wearing a particular outfit just because your garments are wrinkled and you don't have an iron. Instead, add two to four ice cubes to the dryer with the clothing and run it for around 10 minutes. The ice cubes will melt in the dryer, creating a steamer-like effect. 

Is there not enough room in your wardrobe? There probably is; you just have to know how to work with it. To double your closet space, add metal can tabs to your hangers and then hang another piece of clothing onto it.

While you can purchase French tip stickers from any drugstore, you may also use something you already have in your household. Simply wrap your nail with a rubber band and apply the nail polish to the tip. However, only remove the rubber band once the polish has thoroughly dried!

Grab a knife instead of repeatedly beating the jar against the table, which is rarely effective and may cause fracture. You can open the jar easily by inserting the knife into the lid and pushing it up. You will hear a slight "pop" once the cap is ready to be opened. However, be cautious and never do it while holding the jar in the air. Make sure the lid is facing down the table when you do this.

Don't throw them out just yet. Instead, give your old, worn-out pumps a fresh look by upgrading them with fabric. Or you can even paint the heels of your shoes to create a bright statement shoe by adding a pop of color.
