Forgot Something in Your Ziplock Bag - No Problem

We have all done it. You look into your ziplock bag and noticed that you forgot something.

This happens to me on every trip. Many hotels have samples of toiletries if you forget something. A quick call to the front desk will get you the item that you need within minutes. However, sometimes you are tight for time or at a hotel that doesn't offer that service. Well, Men's Health has you covered (starts on slide 4)!

Forget Your Toothbrush

A no-brainier:

 "You can break up stickiness on your teeth by using a dry brush," says Mark Burhenne, D.D.S., a dentist in Sunnyvale, California, and the founder of AsktheDentist.com. Just brush twice as long as you normally would. You'll scrub off food particles and fight bad breath."

Forget Shaving Cream

Never though to try this:

 "Grab one of the hotel-provided hair conditioners and use it as a shave cream. It'll make    the surface slippery and won't dry your skin."

Forget Shoe Polish

Now the weirdest:

"Hit the breakfast buffet. The natural oils of a banana peel will do the trick, he says. First wipe the shoe clean with a dry cloth or paper towel. Then swipe the inside of a banana peel over the shoe and heel several times. Use the cloth or paper towel to wipe off the residue, and behold: polished shoes!"
