In this crazy, chaotic day and age any little tips to make my life easier are a huge plus in my book. And so I have searched far and wide and surfed the web long and hard in order to find some handy life hacks that have changed my life and hopefully will change yours too.
I have already shared some beauty hacks and some hair hacks (although there are plenty more to come) so this time I am going to share some hacks that are more about life in general, so without further ado (I've always wanted a reason to say that, it sounds very British doesn't it? lol)
1. Re-cycle Old Candle Jars...
I don't know about you but I am certainly a candle lover, not just because they make my home smell lovely but also because of the moods that certain scented candles can bring, whether its a cinnamon scent in the winter time to remind you of christmas or a pumpkin scent to remind you of halloween and autumn. That being said I was always reluctant to throw away some of the beautiful glass jars, thanks to this hack though that is no longer a problem, simply clean out your candle jars and re-use them for storage, I personally like to store my cotton buds or makeup brushes in mine.
2. Keep Your Books Out of The Way and on The Right Page...
From the heading on this hack you might think I have gone a little crazy (er lol), but fear not, with a little explanation it will make perfect sense (honestly). We've all had those moments when in the kitchen when the recipe book just doesn't want to behave and either closes, loses the page or is just generally in the way. Well the solution is simple just take a coat hanger (the ones that hold trousers with the little clips) and use it to keep your book on the right page and out of the way. Personally though I tend to use my iPad more than my recipe books and this hack works great for that too.
3. Prevent Necklace Tangles...
If like me you are tired of attempting to de-tangle all your necklaces then this hack is definitely for you, and all you need is a drinking straw. Just insert the chain into the straw and fasten it and no more tangles. Great for every day use or travelling.4. Strengthen Charger Cables...
In our house we literally go through charger cables like you wouldn't believe, sometimes the kids chargers only last for a day or 2 before stopping working, so when I found this hack I was pleasantly surprised and immediately started hunting round the house for pens. All you need to do is take the tiny spring out of a pen and wrap it around the end of your charger, this will strengthen the cable considerably and (hopefully) prevent the cable from bending and breaking.
5. Organise Your Cleaning Supplies...
The cupboard underneath my kitchen sink is literally full to bursting with various spray bottles and sponges so that I can clean my house thoroughly, and no matter how many times I tidy it up and re-organise things I always end up losing something and then dragging everything out again in order to find it. This hack however saves the day, all you need to do is buy or find a hanging shoe organiser and hang it up in your kitchen or utility room. Then put all of your cleaning supplies in the pockets and bam you're friends and family will be jealous of just how organised you are lol. And to top it off you can even use the same idea to organise sachets etc in your pantry.
I hope that you enjoy these simple life hacks and that they help make your life a little easier, I know that I will be using each and every one of these, fingers crossed the cable one will continue to work as that will certainly save me a few pennies :)
Thanks for stopping by,
Alice xoxo
