TRASHY MAGAZINES HAVE their place. They’re cheap, outrageous, and provide a much needed laugh in a waiting room or on the beach.

However, they’re not to be relied upon for advice, especially advice sent in by their loyal readers.

Tumblr lifedeathtoptips has gathered some of the most cringeworthy and downright silly tips published.

Here are eight we won’t be rushing to try any time soon.

1. Why use storage when you can dress up stuffed toys?

3. Re-use your brollies

 4. Read the book
