Cure for headaches:

Ants, ants, ants everywhere. 
Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line.  So, get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march.  See for yourself. [Slices of lemon scattered along their path track also work].

Use air-freshener to clean mirrors.
  It does a good job and better still, leaves a lovely smell to the shine.

When you get a splinter,
reach for the scotch tape before resorting to tweezers or a needle.  Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, and then pull it off.  Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.
