8 Life Hacks That Will Make Your Life Way Easier – by Sarah Thomas

  1. Can’t find AA batteries for your XBOX controller? Easy! Just crumple up some aluminum foil and stick it in there with your AAA batteries. Aluminum foil is a great conductor of electricity, you’ll be ready to play in no time!

 

2. Everybody loves popsicles. But, don’t you hate when it starts leaking onto your fingers and turns into one sticky mess? Slide a cupcake liner onto your popsicle stick. No more dripping!

 

3. Having a sore throat is no fun. The worst part about having a sore throat is the cough syrup. It’s disgusting! Here’s a simple hack. Substitute that cherry medicine for some pineapple juice. It’s proven to be 5 times more effective than cough syrup and most of all, it tastes good!

4. Have a bunch of cables just laying around and getting tangled up? Here’s an inexpensive way to organize your cords. Attach a few binder clips to the side of your nightstand and desk and slip your wire through. Easy!

5. It seems like phones die way faster than how long they take to charge. If you put your plane into airplane mode while charging, it’s supposed to charge twice as fast! Use this cool hack to save you a bit of time!

6. It’s winter time. With winter, comes staticky hair. Go to the laundry room and pick up one of these dryer sheets. Just rub it on your hair a few times and comb through. Magically, the static disappears.

 

7. Here’s a toothpaste hack. All of us have our favorite pair of white shoes, so we all know the moment when you realize that your shoes have gone from white to a yellow. Rub some toothpaste on the yellow spots, scrub, and rinse with water. Your shoes will be pearly white again!

8. I love going on short vacations, but it’s always so hard to make my favorite lotion travel size. Next time, just put your lotion in an old contact lens case. There you have it, a spill-free way to transport your lotion, conditioner, or face wash!
