A woman from Frome has been blasted on social media for her "rotten" top tip.

Take A Break is a lifestyle magazine aimed at women and features real life stories, competitions and recipes.

The magazine also features a section dedicated to readers sharing their own tips or life hacks.

Eva Bell, from Frome, shared her tip to the popular magazine in how to create an alluring sense of apples in a house.

The tip reads: "Instead of throwing your apple core away, pop it in a bowl of water and leave by the windowsill.

"It works as a great air freshener, and soon your house will smell of apples!"

The Facebook page, 'Take a S****', shares what it sees as poor tips published in the magazine and pokes fun at bad life hacks.

A status shared Eva's smelly tip with the caption "Ambipur rotten fruit. YUM".

Its five thousand strong Facebook following were also not impressed by her tip.

People pointed out anyone who did this tip would attract flies and wasps.

Louise Bayliss shared: "Aww you'll have lots of lovely pet flies too - cute".

Rob McGeechan II quipped: "Strongbow cider makes a delicious smelling aroma for your infusers."

Mitch Watts instead suggested Eva should instead "just eat it" while Elsie Tanner remarked she should instead "open your window".

Stephen Webber commented: "My spouse loves the smell of bacon, I should leave a pig carcass by the windowsill!"

Lee Passelle said it sounded "almost as good as the KFC scented candle".

While another sarcastically posted: "No need for Scentys or Yankee Candle now."
