Tips from Bea Johnson

Clean your house with white vinegar and olive oil-based soap;

Brush teeth with bicarbonate of soda;

Use ground, burnt almonds as eye makeup;

Use cocoa powder as a bronzer;

Use strands of silk to form dental floss;

Buy in bulk, and use cotton bags or glass containers to carry groceries home; and

Use moss as toilet paper. (This only works when it’s fresh; thereafter it becomes as hard as a steel scourer!)
