Life Hacks That Actually Work

Sharpen Your Knives

Having a sharp knife is ideal in the kitchen. You don't want to ruin the perfect cut just because you have a dull knife! If you don't have a knife sharpener handy, a ceramic plate will definitely do the trick. Just the bottom-raised part and give the knife a few good scrapes. It'll be as good as new! 

Keep Those Rugs in Place

Oddly enough, rug pads are super expensive. Luckily, there are other ways to make sure your rug isn't rolling around all over the place. All you need to do is attach velcro to the floor and to the rug. Then, stick them together! No more slipping and sliding on your padless rug.

The More You Know

  • Most cutting boards don’t come with any kind of rubber surface on the bottom to prevent them from sliding on a countertop, but with a couple of rubber bands, you can stabilize your cutting board and keep it from moving around during use.
  • Sleeping just 30 minutes more than you usually do can do wonders for your productivity levels by reducing daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and tension.
  • Have a little paint left in that can, but not enough to warrant keeping that whole huge container around? Just pour it into a washed and dried baby food jar and keep it tightly sealed for touch-ups.
  • Spray squeaky door hinges in place with a little all-purpose lube, silicone spray or dry Teflon spray.
