Life hacks are a real game changer. You think you’ve the found the easiest way to do something, and then the internet spits out another hack, and everything changes about the way you do things.
Life can be overwhelming, so I’m here to help. Here’s a compilation of the most creative and useful life hacks out there. From cleaning to cooking and even camping, these hacks will make your life that much better!
If you have any handy hacks up your sleeve, make sure you share them with us, too!
1. Freeze grapes to chill wine instead of ice cubes
Because who wants watered-down wine? No one, that’s who.
2. This one is good for everyone — not just those that live in dorms.
Put that AC unit to work!
I also like to put these under the seats in my car, too! It leaves my car smelling laundry fresh!
3. You don’t even want to know what’s under those keys.
Show of hands, how many people eat at their computer?
If you’re one of those people, here’s a great cleaning hack for you — clean out your keyboard with a sticky note.
4. This trick will show you where the hole in your tire is.
Remember this one!
A little bit of soapy water and you’re well on your way to finding that pesky hole.
5. Boom! A water bottle for hard-to-use sinks.
Now you can use any sink, big or small to fill up your buckets.
Just be careful with this one — it could get messy if you’re not cautious.
7. This is probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
You’re welcome.
Your BLTs will never be the same again. This bacon is gonna stay put — exactly where it needs to be.
You’ve gotta ask yourself: would you rather have bacon in every bite? Of course the answer is yes!
8. When charging your phone, put it in Airplane mode.
It will charge twice as fast, but don’t forget to switch it off after it’s done charging!
I have actually tried this one, and it works great! You never know when you’ll need a quick charge, and going out with your phone at 5% is the worst . What if someone needs to get in touch?
9. Use a cleaned out sunscreen bottle to hide your valuables at the beach.
Spend your summer having fun rather than worrying. I hate having to keep one eye on my stuff when I’m just trying to relax with my family.
I’ve also seen people wrap their valuables up in a baby diaper (clean, of course!) cause nobody is gonna touch that!
10. YES! The best idea ever!
This is right up there with that phenomenal BLT.
Remember that BLT? I mean, how could you forget. It was a thing of beauty — and so is this!
11. When I saw this hack, all I could think of was that scene from Elf where Buddy presses all the buttons.
“Looks like a Christmas tree!”
Probably my all-time favorite, but I imagine that it wouldn’t be as funny if you had to stop at every floor.
Remember this just in case this should happen to you.
12. Wasting delicious fruit is something that I try not to do.
With this handy hack, you can save so much more of your strawberry compared to using a knife.
Mmm… can’t wait for strawberry season — my favorite! Kicking back with a cool bowl of strawberries on a hot summer day is the best .
13. For those that love the great outdoors, this one’s for you.
If you’re gonna be doing some camping this summer, you might want to file this one away in your memory.
An overhead light and a jug of water is perfect for lighting up the tent without buying a separate lamp. Forget fumbling around in the dark at night!
14. Your backyard BBQs will forever be changed…
And for the better.
I just had a BBQ last weekend — I so could have used this hack. Oh well, next time! This way you’ll have more time to relax and spend way less time hunched over the sink afterward.
15. Man! And all those times I struggled with my groceries cause I didn’t have a quarter.
Wish I would’ve know this.
Try sticking the head of your key into a shopping cart. Depending on your key it might just work. You never know until you try, right?
16. Gonna remember this for those hot months.
I love a good iced coffee.
I’ve never made it at home, though. Save some money this summer and serve up your own iced coffee all summer long. Who needs $5 coffees when you’ve got it covered at home?
17. Finally, the perfect guide to avocados.
Where have you been all my life!?
Save this one so you have it the next time you’re at the grocery store. Buy the right avocado right from the start. You know you’ll want to make guac for a party or three this summer, right?
18. If you drop something super tiny, don’t panic — just grab your vacuum.
Just make sure you put a pair of nylons over the hose before turning it on.
This little handy hack is great for finding all sorts of lost things. Stick it under your bed or couch, you never know what you might “suck” up! I always lose my damn earrings under the bed somehow.
19. Don’t have enough storage for pots and pans?
Think again! Use a towel bar.
I’ve also seen this done with command hooks, too.
20. Make sure you’re drinking enough water!
This handy hack should help.
You can use a permanent marker to mark the side of a plastic water bottle. I’m pretty sure you can buy water bottles like this, too.
Just make sure you’re getting your eight glasses a day.
21. Prevent those sticky drips this summer.
You can also use a cupcake liner.
Great for both kids and adults. No one likes a sticky mess!
22. Get rid of all that nasty pet hair with a squeegee.
See what your vacuum has been missing? Works on furniture and carpets!
I’m actually almost afraid to do this at my house… eek!
23. Use a razor to get the fuzzies off of your clothes.
This will help keep you lookin’ sharp!
This also works to remove paint from jeans!
Make sure you lay your clothing item out flat and use short strokes with the razor to remove the paint or fuzzies.
24. Make getting into your home, car or anywhere else so much easier.
Plus, how fun are these keys!?
You can get so many beautiful colors of nail polish nowadays, so have a little fun with this one.
25. Use a paperclip to hide your bra straps when you’re wearing a racerback tank.
So cheap and easy! Who says you need one of those expensive bras!?
Best part? Your bra can go right back to being a regular bra whenever you want!
