Life Hacks That Actually Work

Freeze Your Grapes!

First of all, frozen grapes make a delicious snack to begin with. So, you should always freeze at least a few for a nice refreshing snack. Secondly, frozen grapes make great ice cubes for wine! It's always a bummer when you realize that your nice white wine wasn't refrigerated and that you may have to use ice cubes. Using ice cubs waters down the drink, which isn't very tasty. Using frozen grapes doesn't water down your wine, keeps it cold, and you get to eat grapes when you're done! 

From Crib To School

Cribs are basically useless after your child outgrows them. Instead of throwing it out or selling it, roll up your sleeves for a little DIY time! It's not difficult to make a crib into a fully functioning child's desk. This could be used as a place for coloring and art, and even homework when they enter school.

The More You Know

  • A Swiffer Sweeper floor mop is useful for more than just cleaning hard floors. Use it to dust interior walls and trim, too! Attach a dry cloth to the rectangle end and press it along walls and trim.
  • Throw a few ice cubes or a wet washcloth in the dryer with your wrinkled clothes. As the ice melts and the water turns to steam, it will remove the wrinkles. This trick isn’t as effective with heavier clothing but is a miracle for lighter fabrics.
  • Dab a dot of toothpaste onto a bug bite to reduce the itchiness and swelling, and get back to the great outdoors!
  • If you know you'll need to bake with brown sugar soon and it's too hard to use, stick a piece of bread in with the sugar overnight and leave the two in a sealed plastic bag.
