Life hacks can make a lot of complex things in our lives a little easier.
This is a list of hacks that are a little on the silly side of things, but they still get the job done.
Avoid Soggy Cereal
If you love milk and cereal but do not like how soggy the cereal can get then this hack is for you!
Put a mug of milk in your bowl and then scoop your cereal into the milk one scoop at a time!
Hair Tie Remote
Having multiple remotes for different devices can be hard to keep track of.
Not if you use this simple hack of combining the two remotes with a couple of hair ties.
Preheat Your Boots
Work boots can get very cold if you are out during the colder months.
You can preheat your boots by filling some plastic bags with warm water. Then your boots will be toasty warm when you go to slip them on.
Grate Your Frozen Butter
This hack can be summed up in one word, grate!
If you need to spread some butter but only have frozen butter, just grab your cheese grater and grate the butter. It will make spreading so much easier.
Soccer Net Leaf Bagging
Bending over countless times to fill up a leaf bag can be very hard on your back.
If your child has a small practice soccer net, you can rake the leaves into the net and pick it up to cut down on the number of times it will take to fill the bag.
Sew In A Straight Line
If you are sewing something by hand, you know that it can be very difficult to keep a straight line.
If you make a couple of reference lines on your fingernail, it will help you always know you're going in a straight line.
Popcorn Hoodie
This popcorn hoodie will mean you can always have both of your hands free to keep being productive.
Put your hoodie on backward, fill it with popcorn, and then bend your head down when you want a snack.
Garbage Bag Clip
We have all been there—the plastic bag in our garbage can falls down the side and you don't want to reach in to get it.
Installing a couple of stick-on wall hooks will make sure that won't happen again.
Shovel Wet Leaves
Raking your leaves after it has rained or snowed can be nearly impossible.
That is when you can use your shovel to help you out. It is not just for snow!
Hardshell Taco Holder
Hardshell tacos can be delicious, but it can be very hard to get them to stay standing up on your plate.
All you need to do is stick a fork through the end of the taco and it will balance the taco for you.
Oil Coasters
Over time, the oil and vinegar containers can drip onto your shelf and make it very hard to clean.
Placing the bottles on some simple coasters will help make cleanup a breeze!
Bobby Pin Toothpaste
Who would have known that there was a simple way to make sure you get to use every last bit of toothpaste?
Sliding a bobby pin on the tube will keep all the toothpaste at the end.
Potato Key
If your car key breaks, it is very hard to get it to turn and make your car start.
With this potato hack, just stick the broken key into a potato and you'll be able to use your car!
Creative Reheat
What do you do if you do not have a microwave but want to reheat some pizza?
Turn on the iron and pull out the blow dryer. It will melt the cheese and crisp the crust.
Mass S'more Cooker
What do you do when you want to make a bunch of s'mores at once?
Grab the rake out of the shed and roast as many marshmallows at once as you can!
Earthquake Detection Kit
This is a pretty hilarious system to detect if there is an earthquake happening.
We are pretty sure that if there actually was an earthquake, the poster would be shaken right off of the wall.
Chip Text
This is the perfect hack if you want a snack but do not want to get up and get it for yourself.
If your partner's phone is in another room, text it and they'll see the request when they get up to get it.
Shoe Cup Holder
If you need more cup holders than what your car already has, just use an extra pair of shoes.
It will keep the extra drinks upright and prevent them from ending up all over your car.
Key Ring Pants
If you need a little bit of reassurance that your zipper won't fall down, grab an extra key ring.
Slide the key ring through the zipper and then hook it around the button so it won't fall down.
Pre-Portioned Bananas
Freezing a whole banana is not the most practical sometimes when you only need part of one for a smoothie.
If you cut them up before you freeze them, you can use just what you want!
