Life Hacks That Actually Work

Sensory Bottles

Kids have to go in time-out every now and then. They have a lot of big emotions in their tiny bodies, so they won't be perfect at expressing themselves. This hack is a great way to get your kids in time out and to help them chill out. Just fill a bottle with 3 parts water, one part glitter glue. Add ultrafine glitter for extra glam. If your kid needs a timeout, give them the bottle, have them shake it up, and then tell them to go to sit in time out. They can come out once the bottle is settled! This will also help them mellow out by watching the relaxing glitter.

Fridge Space

Need extra fridge space? Say no more! This is a really easy and inexpensive hack for keeping your freezer looking organized. Take any bags of frozen food and flip them to the racks of the freezer using binder clips! That way, you can still see the food that you have and it's easy to grab. No more wasted food nor wasted time.

The More You Know

  • Did you know that Americans overpay 2.5 billion dollars a year? Believe it or not, the source for a lot of it comes from stores wrongfully overcharging for purchases.
  • If you left home and forgot to brush your teeth or you ran out of toothpaste, chewing an apple can help with bad breath.
  • Fill some water bottles halfway, then lay them on their side in the freezer. When it's time for a cool drink, grab a bottle, fill it up with your beverage of choice, and let the wall of ice in the bottle keep your drink perfectly chilled.
  • Insert a drinking straw (or stainless steel reusable) into the tip of the berry and push it through to the other end to quickly remove the stem.
