1. Remove sand from skin
One resourceful father shows us that baby powder is for more than diaper rash after the beach! Use baby powder on kids feet to remove sand before getting in the car or house. The baby powder is going to soak up all that extra moisture and help the sand slide right off.
2. Untangle necklaces
Necklaces are easily tangled, knotted, and stuck together. And what's most frustrating is the time you lose trying to get them back to their normal shape. So next time your necklace seems hopelessly tangled, DIY & Crafts suggests grabbing the baby powder and sprinkling it over the knot.
Make sure it gets in all the crooks and crevices - this is going to loosen the knot just enough so you can start carefully picking it apart without the fear of breaking the chain.
3. Freshen kitty litter
If you're in between cleans and you need to freshen up the cat box, PopSugar says you should try sprinkling some baby powder over the top of the litter. This is quick fix that's going to absorb extra moisture and cover up any smells.
4. Plump eyelashes
Instead of purchasing a pricey mascara promising to plump up your lashes, reach for the baby powder instead. Good Housekeeping explains that if you brush some baby powder on your lashes with a Q-tip in between coats of mascara you're going to add some serious volume to your beauty routine. It's a beauty blogger look for a fraction of the cost.
5. Protect flower beds
If your garden is being grubbed on by pesky creatures you're going to have to try this DIY & Crafts tip that expert gardeners swear by. They say you should take your new bulbs, and before planting them shake them in a bag with 3 tablespoons of baby powder - just enough to lightly coat them.
When you plant the bulbs, the baby powder is going to coat the roots and protect it from rot as well as moles, voles, and grubs which eat away at your plants before they have a chance to bloom.
6. Cool sheetsIf your air conditioner brakes or you get stuck in a hot sticky tent - try cooling down your sheets with a sprinkle of baby powder. PopSugar says the powder is going to absorb any sweat throughout the night and help keep your sheets feeling fresh and cool.
