Life Hacks

One of my favorite sites is Lifehacker.com. I've used a lot of their articles to improve my life and in that time come up with a few hacks of my own.

1) When making popcorn, put the measuring cup into a bowl to avoid losing kernels

2) In the wintertime, use your hair dryer to warm up clothes before putting them on

3) Put a shopping bag over the sink to catch beard trimmings. The bag handles can go over the faucet handles

4) Take one toothbrush from a multi pack and set it aside for overnight guests

5) When cutting a bagel with a topping, spread out a napkin to catch any that fall off. Then sprinkle the loose bits onto opened bagel

6) Need to open a shaken soda can? Put a tissue over the top, open it quick to avoid major spray

7) If you don't keep a lot of food in your fridge, wash out a milk jug, fill it with water. It helps keep your fridge from overworking and you have water in an emergency

8) If you're bringing a pet in a carrier and its going on your lap or a seat, put a towel between you/seat and carrier to absorb any accidents

9) If you have the closet space for it, keep the boxes for your dishes and appliances. When you move you have all the packing materials, plus the box will identify what's inside.
