Oh Kallie! This is the first time ever that I’ve watched a life hack video where every single hack was completely usable!! (Being an RN I already knew about the gentle removal of bandages and tapes. And my father was a plumber so I know how to clean drains and traps). But my point is that I learned so many great hacks from you today. So a huge Thank You!!!❤. Now for a nice hot cup of coffee for me and in gratitude to you!!! Cheers😁

oh baking soda and vinegar hack i've used forever, but stopping it with the cloth forcing it down a whole new level!! Thanks Kal!!!

Puck lights for lamps is genius! Lots of good ideas here - thank you!

Hi! A pill container also works great for spices if you are going camping or staying at a Time share with a kitchen. I’ve done this for about ten years and it works great! Also, no problem getting in through security in a checked or carry on bag 🤗. Makes cooking on vacation much tastier & less expensive than buying seasoning.

Thanks for the hack about the pool noodles, among other things. I am getting ready to put some planters over my deck railing and was going to buy styrofoam packing material for the bottoms. I will now use the pool noodles instead. Another suggestion - lay landscape cloth over the pool noodle pieces in your pot before you put in the soil. That will keep you from wasting the soil that falls around the noodles and washes out the bottom. Great suggestions!

Oh gosh, NOT FREAKING 20 minutes ago I was filling a giant flower pot with soil, it weighs a ton! THEN I come inside and watch this video and the pool noodle idea comes along! UGH! I actually HAVE a bunch of random pool noodles, gonna get to cutting them now, thank you SO much for this tip!

[deemarshall]

Instead of using pool noodles and have to do all that cutting, I use the peanuts that are used for packing material. Works great, I have done this for years.

When removing the lettering from pill dispensers etc, I use pure acetone. Works faster and also saves you in the watered-down version from the shop. When I use it on my nails I always make sure I wash my hands immediately after using it. If you want you can always add your own water to it, thus, saving you so much more on the over-priced so-called polish remover they sell in the shops !

We also take the white pool noodles and use them at the bottom of our doors to stop drafts by slicing one side of the pool noodle and sliding it on the bottom of our doors. It blends in with the door and is aesthetically more pleasing to the eye.

Great hacks ... Im a dollar store junky that pool noodle hack for planters is brilliant (reminder to keep those Styrofoam peanuts from mail boxes too ... I've been throwing them away) Every year I’ve wanted rocks to build up my planters but I live at the beach and mostly have sand, I guess I can use shells ... but the fact that the noodles aren't heavy is brilliant. I've never seen a pool noodle demonstration that I would use until now

If you have sèptic instead of sewer system, you need to be careful with vinegar. It kills the stuff that breaks down solids

[lanoredixon]

Wow! These were actually great hacks. So many of these types of videos are ridiculous but these were practical, affordable, and useful for everyday lives. Thank you for sharing!

[theresabrown]

Love all these hacks !love how you end each video. “ be kind to yourself and others”. Very good advice !

The hanger/paper towel holder works great, but make the cut area not as wide. You want to have to bend the plastic hanger piece just a bit more to get the roll to slide on. It keeps the paper towels from flying off when pulling one off.

I use broken up polystyrene from packaging to put in vases as a drainage layer. It goes in the bottom, over it I drape any rag that is made from polyester (won't rot) and fill the rest with soil. It is free and you can easily find it on the curb on trash day.

I use those hooks when I travel. Whether in a home or a hotel, there are seldom extra places to hang my washcloth or my back brush. Just don’t forget to take them with you when you leave! 😊❤

[bzcookie]

Use empty water bottles to fill big planters too

I love the caddy for kids snacks, mesh bag for bath toys, and the candle tissue paper transfer! 🤩 I’m looking forward to trying these hacks. Thank you!

[gloriagcoronado]

Really liked the table lamp hack! All great! Thank you! 😊

I love dish soap and vinegar to clean in the bathroom! I sometimes add baking soda to my sponge for tough spots on my tub. I need to try the drain trick. I hope you and your family have a great week!
