00:00Hey, if you're using your phone to watch something and are tired of propping it up and having it fall
00:06back down, try using your sunglasses.
00:09Simply place them upside down and use the parts that go around your ears to hold the phone in place.
00:16You can put old newspaper at the bottom of your trash bags to absorb food juices.
00:21This way, when you come to take out the trash, you don't get that gross liquid dripping on your floor.
00:27If you have flowers that are starting to droop, try placing a copper coin in the water.
00:33Copper is a natural fungicide, so adding a penny to the water helps protect your flowers from bacteria.
00:40This way, your flowers will stay fresh for longer.
00:44You can use the spring from an old pen to stop your charger's wire bending and fraying.
00:50Just take out the spring and wrap it around the top of the wire near the connector.
00:55Moving objects through a door when it keeps closing is super annoying.
01:00So instead, tie a rubber band around the handle on each side of the door so that it crosses over
01:06the latch.
01:07The latch then won't be able to pop out and the door won't lock shut.
01:12You can use a paper clip to find the end of your tape.
01:16Simply place the clip under the end of the tape and you'll never have to hunt again.
01:21To check whether your bed sheets are fully dried, take a mirror and place it underneath.
01:27Leave it there for around five minutes.
01:29And if it steams up, it means the sheets are still damp.
01:33A damp bed can be a breeding ground for mold and other nasty fungi.
01:39Running a post-it note over your laptop keyboard will help get rid of the built-up grime and any
01:45pesky bits of food.
01:46Now wait, you don't actually eat at the computer, do you?
01:51Instead of filling your purse or wallet with store loyalty cards, you can take a photo of them.
01:57Just take one snap of the barcode as well as a picture of the front so you know which card
02:02it is.
02:03Then, when you visit the store, just scan the barcode on your phone to collect your points.
02:08Forgot to put your drink in the fridge?
02:11Wrap a wet paper towel around it and put it in the freezer.
02:15In just 15 minutes, your drink will be ice cold.
02:19You can paint the end of your keys with different colored nail polish so you can easily identify which key
02:25is which.
02:26To stop your wrapping paper from enrolling, you can cut open an old toilet paper roll and use it as
02:33a cup.
02:34In order to pour the perfect amount of oil or salad dressing, poke holes in the foil seal rather than
02:41removing it completely.
02:43This prevents a big amount rushing out quickly.
02:46To prevent band-aids from slipping off your finger, cut a line on either side.
02:52The band-aid, not the finger.
02:54This will create four smaller sticky strips rather than one large one and it will be much easier to secure.
03:01When your candle is burned down and the wick is difficult to reach with a lighter, you can use a
03:07stick of spaghetti.
03:08Just light the end and you'll have a longer stick that burns just as well so you can get to
03:14those hard-to-reach places.
03:16Secure a rubber band over the top of your paint can so that you can wipe excess paint onto it.
03:22This stops paint running down the sides of your can and keeps things neat and tidy.
03:28If you're struggling to get your taco shells to stay in place, use a muffin tray.
03:34Flip the tray upside down, spray it with oil, and place your tortillas in the gap.
03:39Cook them for around 10 minutes at 700 degrees for the perfect crispy taco shell.
03:46You can use a water bottle to separate egg yolks.
03:49Hold the bottle over the yolk and squeeze it to suck the yolk up.
03:54Drop it into a separate bowl and you're good to go.
03:58Looking for a lost earring or pin on the floor?
04:01Place a stocking over the end of your vacuum and move it over the floor.
04:06The small object will get picked up without getting vacuumed.
04:10Next time you're struggling to clean your ceiling fan, use a pillowcase.
04:15Slide the pillowcase over each blade to wipe off the dust.
04:18This way, excess dust is caught inside the pillowcase and won't rain down on you.
04:25Poke a straw through your cherries to remove the stems.
04:28It's much quicker and this way you don't waste as much fruit.
04:33If you're struggling to put a bracelet on your own hand, try using a paper clip.
04:38Open up the paper clip and slip it through the loops on the end of your bracelet.
04:43Hold the clip in the middle of your hand with your fingers, then flip the bracelet around your wrist.
04:49You should then be able to easily clasp it shut.
04:53To properly clean your blender, fill it with soap and hot water.
04:57Switch it on for around 10 seconds and let the swirling water do the hard work.
05:02Then just rinse it off and it's clean.
05:06Put down a strip of masking tape before nailing into plaster walls.
05:10The tape should stop the plaster from flaking or spreading dust all over the floor.
05:16When you're heating up leftovers, make a space in the middle with a spoon.
05:20The food will heat up much more evenly.
05:24Avoid the mess and frustration of peeling an orange by slicing off one end of the fruit.
05:29Then cut four to six slices and you'll find the peel will come off much easier.
05:35If you're struggling to use your butter because it's too cold, try using a cheese grater.
05:42Just grate the butter to make your life much easier.
05:45You can make a DIY garden sprinkler using an old plastic bottle.
05:50Punch some holes all over the bottle and then tape it to the end of your hose pipe.
05:55If your shoes smell bad, put a few dry teabags into the shoe.
06:00The teabags will absorb the smell.
06:03Potato chips are a perfect fire starter.
06:06The fat, oil, and chemicals inside make them super easy to burn.
06:10And yet we still eat them.
06:12Can you see the irony?
06:15Try using toothpaste to remove small scratches on furniture.
06:19Rub a pea-sized amount on the scratch in a circular motion until the scratch buffs out.
06:25Then wipe it with a damp cloth and voila!
06:29Candle wax that's been spilled on furniture can be removed with ice cubes.
06:34Rather than ruining the finish by trying to scrape it off, fill a plastic bag with ice and let it
06:40sit on the wax for a few minutes.
06:42The wax will then cool and harden, making it much easier to pick off.
06:48Drill a couple of small holes in the bottom of your trash can to stop the bag getting stuck when
06:54you pull it down.
06:55The holes stop the vacuum-like effect that keeps the bag pinned down.
07:00Crayon marks on the wall are a parent's nightmare, but you can use a hair dryer to get them off.
07:06Heat the marks for a few seconds to soften the wax, and then you should be able to just wipe
07:11it away.
07:13If you don't have the correct size coin to put in your shopping cart next time you go to the
07:18supermarket, you can use your key instead.
07:21If you have a key with a rounded end, you can insert that where the coin would go, and the
07:26cart should unlock.
07:27You can easily remove the sticky residue from jars using cooking oil.
07:32Soak a cotton pad in some oil, then rub it on the sticky area.
07:36Allow it to sit for a few minutes, then it should wipe away easily.
07:41Attach a clothespin just under the head of your toothbrush to stop it from falling onto the dirty countertop.
07:49Maybe you should also clean your dirty countertop.
07:52To stop heavy flower pots from damaging your surfaces, stick furniture sliders to the bottom of the pot.
07:59You can use hair conditioner to make that new wool sweater less itchy.
08:04Just soak it in lukewarm water with a couple of tablespoons of conditioner and leave it for 15 minutes.
08:11Then, just dry it, and your sweater will be much softer.
08:15You can even wear it while you clean your dirty countertop.
08:19So, take a small piece of fabric of a specific color and tie it to your luggage.
08:25This way, you'll save a lot of time waiting for your luggage to arrive, because most people have similar ones.
08:30But now, you can instantly recognize yours.
08:35It's annoying how often it feels like so many stick deodorants go to waste.
08:39You start feeling the container uncomfortably rubbing against your skin, even when plenty of deodorants are still left.
08:46But there is an easy trick to use the last bit in there.
08:49Unscrew the bottom and force a pencil underneath that moving platform to push another inch of deodorant out.
08:56That gives you a few more weeks to use it.
08:58Just don't poke yourself with a pencil.
09:00That's the pips.
09:03You're running out of your favorite hand cream, but it seems the tube still has some.
09:07If you cannot push hard enough to get the rest of it, take scissors, cut the tube of cream in
09:12half, and use one more day.
09:15When you wrote something on the paper and want to cross it out and not allow anyone to read it,
09:20don't just scribble over those words.
09:23Simply write random words and letters over the original, and no one will understand what the actual writing was about.
09:29I learned that one at spy school.
09:33If you often need something to prop up your phone, you don't have to look for random objects.
09:37Just take your sunglasses.
09:39They have a perfect shape of a phone holder.
09:43Use the inside of the toilet paper when you're at a public toilet.
09:46It's better to avoid covering the seat of a bathroom, too.
09:49When you flush a toilet, germs spring around and spray over the roll of nearby toilet paper, too.
09:56But if you have your own paper tissues, it'll be even better to use them.
10:01Greek yogurt flip cups.
10:03You probably want something extra when eating your Greek yogurt.
10:06Like honey.
10:07You mostly get a tasty dollop of fruit and cookie crumbs.
10:11But those additional compartments are really narrow, so you can't even reach what's inside unless you have some tiny spoon.
10:18Well, check the word on the lid.
10:20It says flip.
10:21Yep.
10:22Flip those small compartments over so their contents can mix with your yogurt.
10:27Bon appetit!
10:29Business cards are so easy to lose.
10:32Next time someone gives you one, take a picture of it just in case.
10:35If you lose it somewhere in your bag, at least you know where you can always find it.
10:41If you're not sure how to iron a button-up shirt, just flip it inside out.
10:45That way, you'll easily pass across the button side with your iron.
10:51Sometimes, even though you have a bag inside your trash bin, add the old newspaper to the bottom just in
10:57case.
10:58The paper will absorb food juices so they won't break through the bag and leave your bin messy.
11:04When you travel, make a bar of scented soap one of the essentials you take everywhere.
11:09Put it in the bag or compartment where you keep your dirty clothes.
11:13That will help to keep it smelling nice, at least until you find a place where you can wash it.
11:19There's a trick in how you can check if your batteries are good or bad.
11:23Just drop them on a table from around 6 inches.
11:25They're okay if they give just one tiny bounce and fall over.
11:29If not, if they continue bouncing around more, they're either on their way out or already dead.
11:39When you're taking a selfie and want to look more natural, squint your eyes.
11:43Not everybody feels comfortable in front of the camera, so you may look stiff.
11:47But this way, your smile will be more genuine in the photos.
11:52We all know how frustrating it is to have a container that doesn't fit in the sink, and you still
11:57need to fill it with water.
11:59Just use a dustpan.
12:00A clean one, of course.
12:02Place it in a sink and enjoy this brilliant new way in your bathroom.
12:07If you wrote down a recipe or had a cookbook, and don't feel like going to your table and checking
12:12it out all the time, take a pants hanger.
12:15Hang it somewhere in your kitchen to continue with slicing, chopping, and cooking, and quickly check if you're following all
12:22the necessary steps.
12:24If you're not a fan of the taste of stale cereal, here's a trick that will help you keep them
12:29fresh, even if they remain in the box for a longer time.
12:32Don't close the top panels of your cereal like you usually do with a square box.
12:37Pack it so it reminds you more of a milk carton.
12:40First, collapse three of the four pieces of cardboard to make an opening.
12:44Out of two long strips, leave one turned up.
12:47Now, tuck the two side panels inward into a V-shape.
12:50To hold it like this, pinch the unfolded flap of your cardboard into the opposite flap.
12:56Now, crimp the opening to keep it in place.
12:59With a tighter seal, your cereal will remain fresh for a longer time.
13:04Place a wooden spoon across a boiling pot of liquid.
13:07That way, you'll prevent it from boiling over.
13:11We all sometimes lend our stuff to friends and forget who took what.
13:16Take a picture of them holding the item so you remember where your things are.
13:21Chargers can sometimes bend if you carry them around in a bag.
13:25Take a spring from one of your old pens and wrap it around the critical part of the cable.
13:30It will prevent the cable from breaking.
13:33Now, we all love pancakes, sure.
13:35But preparing them can be really frustrating because it's almost impossible not to make a mess.
13:41Hmm, almost.
13:42If you use an old ketchup bottle and fill it with pancake mix, you'll certainly avoid most of the cleaning
13:48after it.
13:49And have a nice treat, too.
13:52If you like going to the beach but are often afraid someone might take your stuff, try this trick.
13:58Take an old bottle of sun lotion and clean it out.
14:01Place your phone, keys, and money inside and close it.
14:05Looks casual enough for people around to think you don't have any valuables within your stuff.
14:11If you're having a barbecue gathering with your friends and looking for a practical way to serve condiments,
14:17here's a simple solution.
14:18A muffin tin.
14:19Less mess because you'll cut down on dishwashing.
14:22Plus, you save space at the table and keep things more organized.
14:26How to finally be able to differentiate your keys that all look so similar?
14:31Take different nail polishes.
14:33Now, you'll only need to remember which color is for which door.
14:37We all sometimes forget to put deodorant on before leaving the house.
14:41No worries.
14:42Just pat your armpits dry and go with hand sanitizer.
14:45It's an excellent way to deal with bacteria that are actually a true reason for that unpleasant smell when sweating.
14:52Now, if you're keeping count, that's the second tip today about your armpits.
14:56Just saying.
14:57When you want to amplify the sound and don't own speakers or any other equipment that would help you,
15:03just place your phone in a glass jug.
15:05Woo-hoo! Party!
15:08Save a couple of toilet paper rolls and use them as cups so your wrapping paper doesn't unroll and make
15:14a mess.
15:16Any fans of iced cappuccinos or iced coffee here?
15:20Prepare some coffee and make frozen coffee cubes.
15:22That way, your beverage won't get watered down when you want to make it colder.
15:27When mobile phones just turned up, it looked like designers wanted to make them as small as possible.
15:33But over time, phones got so many other options besides just texting and calling.
15:38So many new models, for example, the latest iPhones, have a bigger screen now.
15:43It seems like now you need to use both hands for typing once again.
15:47Unless you change the keyboard setting, open the keyboard, any app is good, and look for the global icon or
15:54the emoji icon.
15:55Press it and hold it down until you see the keyboard menu pop up.
15:59Do you see those three keyboard icons at the bottom?
16:02Pick the left one if you're right-handed, so the keyboard on your phone will compress itself to the left
16:08side.
16:08The keyboard will move toward the right side if you take the right side.
16:12Or go to Settings, then General, choose Keyboard, and then One-handed Keyboard.
16:18You get the same result.
16:22Seatbelt on the passenger seats has a fabric loop.
16:25When put under a great amount of pressure, the stitches on the loop rip apart,
16:29so the excess fabric can assist in cushioning the passengers.
16:33The extra few inches can make a great difference within a dire circumstance.
16:37However, there isn't one on the driver's side.
16:41As the driver is so close to the steering wheel, it's safer for them not to have one.
16:46Seatbelts were originally invented in the mid-19th century.
16:49Though this technology wasn't brought into common practice until the 1960s.
16:55Pre-collision sensory technology has assisted with developing the safety of seatbelts and other features to the next level.
17:02Effectively predicting a car's collision, the technology directs the seatbelts to automatically tighten,
17:08aligning the airbags and ensuring the brakes will be preloaded to reduce shock.
17:13Every year, 6 million car accidents occur,
17:17which explains why all cars still must continue to develop safety features,
17:21not only to alleviate accidents, but to protect people more effectively within their cars.
17:27The materials that make up the body of cars only started getting replaced within the last 25 years,
17:34ranging from aluminum and magnesium alloys to carbon fiber composites.
17:38These lighter materials not only enable a more fuel-efficient journey,
17:42but they also ensure that when a car is in an accident, its build provides a crumple zone.
17:48As a car hits another object, the crumple zone absorbs energy from the collision.
17:53Although this would appear to cause more damage to the car,
17:56it helps prevent impact on the passengers.
17:59Front and rear bumpers are very underrated,
18:02and due to their long history of being used in cars,
18:05you can't imagine a time we didn't use them.
18:08They were invented in the late 1800s.
18:11The bumpers evolved over the years to the point we don't even realize we have them.
18:15But they're there, quietly waiting under the outer covers,
18:19consisting of compressible foam or plastic around a rigid reinforced bar.
18:24All the windows of your car are made of glass,
18:27but the windshield is made of a shatterproof version.
18:31It's laminated, so whatever might hit it,
18:34you can be sure there won't be any shards of glass falling into the front seats.
18:38Normal glass was used up until the 1950s.
18:42As vehicles became more prominent, they made modifications to ensure safety.
18:48Airbags seem like another common feature that has always been there.
18:51In fact, they were originally invented in 1968 and were ahead of their time.
18:56They slowly gained popularity,
18:59and through safety precautions for cars,
19:01they eventually became mandatory for all cars to have only in 1998.
19:06They have since developed from just being an airbag within the steering wheel.
19:11Today, depending on the vehicle, they can be located throughout the car,
19:15ensuring all potential passengers will be protected.
19:18Crash sensors connected to an onboard computer detect when a collision occurs
19:23and trigger the bags, inflating within milliseconds
19:26and providing a cushioned safety within a blink of an eye.
19:30It can be difficult to predict the weather,
19:32and even more so to determine traction on the road.
19:35In the late 1960s, anti-lock braking systems, ABS, were implemented in vehicles.
19:41Before that, they had been used in many aircraft,
19:45with designs going as far back as 1908.
19:48They soon became a necessity for all vehicles,
19:51ensuring traction is maintained on slippery surfaces
19:54and that there is complete control when braking.
19:57Today, ABS has advanced so much
20:00that the latest variations ensure further detection
20:03when there are strong crosswinds.
20:06Cruise control, initially invented in 1948,
20:09has been in constant development over many decades.
20:13Today, adaptive cruise control ensures that
20:16when the car is cruising at a constant speed
20:18and detects a slower car ahead,
20:20it will then adjust the speed to match the car in front.
20:24Other advanced variants may also ensure
20:26the car will make a complete stop
20:28once identifying that the car in front has done the same.
20:32It's easy to forget to have your high beams on
20:34when driving on the long and lonesome road for many hours.
20:37Automatic high beams are quickly becoming more common.
20:41High-tech camera modules can easily determine
20:44what type of light is passing through
20:46and help ensure when the high beam will be necessary.
20:50Although versions of automatic high beams
20:52have been around since the 1950s,
20:54they counted on light-sensitive sensors
20:56and were very unreliable.
20:58The new varieties can identify the sources of light,
21:02whether it's from the sun,
21:03directly from a car's light,
21:04or even from the reflection on a sign,
21:07ensuring you won't cause issues with other drivers.
21:11It's a pain in the neck to have to ensure
21:13there isn't anyone creeping into that semi-visible corner,
21:17the blind spot,
21:18which causes around 400,000 accidents per year.
21:21Solar sensors within rear bumpers of vehicles
21:24and blind spot monitoring systems
21:26watch and identify adjacent lanes.
21:29They alert the driver that a vehicle
21:31may be in the lane beside them,
21:33whether by flashing lights on the dash
21:35or from beeping sounds.
21:36This way, they help to alleviate
21:38the many concerns the blind spot causes.
21:421.6 million road accidents
21:44are caused by texting and driving,
21:47and fatigue normally causes up to 10%
21:49of all car accidents per year.
21:51The driver attention monitor
21:53helps to alleviate both statistics.
21:56It works through sensors
21:57that monitor the car's movements
21:59and the amount of steering corrections
22:01to ensure the driver
22:02is paying attention to the road.
22:04When the system identifies
22:05that the driver isn't completely awake
22:07or is slightly distracted with their phone,
22:10it will prompt signals
22:11to suggest it's time for a break.
22:14Tires are among the most critical components
22:16for your car,
22:17with a close relationship
22:18with whatever path you take.
22:20Many safety features rely on the tires themselves
22:23for their own independent purposes.
22:25That's why it's super important
22:27to ensure the tires are always in top condition.
22:30Tire pressure monitoring systems
22:31check the air pressure of all four tires,
22:34ensuring you're aware
22:35when they need their pressure increased
22:37to avoid the risk of a blowout.
22:39The constant evolution in technologies
22:42continues to ensure you stay safe
22:44on longer stretches of the road.
22:46Lane departure warnings
22:47focus on the lines on the road,
22:49ensuring the car stays within.
22:51Whenever a car starts drifting
22:53over a line in the road
22:54without signaling to do so,
22:56the camera-based feature
22:57identifies and signals to the driver.
23:00The lane-keeping assist feature
23:02follows the same method
23:03of identifying when the car
23:05is intruding the bordering lane.
23:06When it gets too close,
23:08it will readjust the steering
23:10and center the car
23:11within its appropriate lane.
23:13Other features in more advanced cars
23:15have autonomous driving capabilities.
23:18The autopilot systems
23:20have taken cruise control
23:21to the next level.
23:22Not only does it allow the vehicle
23:24to steer itself in the intended lane
23:26while maintaining a set speed,
23:27but it also changes lanes when required,
23:30making the ride more and more efficient.
23:33Some safety features
23:34are only just making a trend
23:36in car models worldwide.
23:37For example, night vision,
23:40using thermographic cameras
23:41to look out for pedestrians
23:42and animals nearby.
23:44It goes within the infotainment screen,
23:47facing frontwards
23:48and identifying objects
23:49from their heat signatures.
23:51It's estimated that there are
23:53over 1.4 billion cars
23:54in use worldwide.
23:56And as the world's population increases,
23:58it's expected that the number of cars
24:00will follow suit.
24:02Safety features will continue to adapt
24:04further beyond what we know of today.
24:07Infrared headlights will be further adapted
24:09to be used in conditions
24:10with poor visibility,
24:12like storms, snow, and fog.
24:14They'll be capable of enhancing
24:16the visibility of the driver
24:17in all conditions
24:18without affecting the sight
24:20of passing drivers.
24:21Driver override systems
24:23will soon be able to monitor
24:25and identify human behavior.
24:26Whether due to reckless conduct
24:28on the road
24:29or for other safety precautions,
24:31cars will soon have the functionality
24:33to take complete control
24:34of themselves,
24:35ensuring both the passengers
24:37and the driver's safety.
24:39Augmented reality windshields
24:41are in early development already,
24:42providing some indicator reflections
24:44from the dash onto the windshield.
24:46So it's quite possible
24:48that soon all necessary directions
24:50for maps and alerts
24:51will appear right in front of the driver
24:53to ensure they never take
24:55their eyes off the road.
24:57Airbags will soon not only
24:59just be used within a car
25:00to ensure the passenger's safety,
25:02they will also activate
25:03from the outside of the car
25:05once they identify
25:06a definitive collision.
25:07The airbags will inflate outwards,
25:10covering the entire outside of the car,
25:12and drastically reducing its impact.
25:14It may be so advanced
25:16that the bodywork of the car
25:17won't even need to be buffed out.
25:20The future technology of cars
25:21is expected to be so progressive
25:23that the cars themselves
25:25will have their own form of communication,
25:27not with human drivers,
25:29but with other cars.
25:30Just imagine,
25:32cars communicating
25:33and sharing information
25:34as they identify roadblocks,
25:36issues on the road,
25:37or disruptive weather patterns.
25:38It will all ensure
25:40the most efficient
25:41and safest route possible.
25:47We know how much homeowners
25:49love to make their houses
25:50picture perfect.
25:51It can soon become a struggle though
25:53once you've tried to flatten out
25:55those pesky corners of a new rug.
25:57But there is one genius trick
25:59that can help.
25:59Just plop a few ice cubes
26:01and a heavy object on the corner
26:03and voila!
26:04Flat rug.
26:05No more tripping
26:06over the rolled up edges.
26:09Sitting in your car,
26:10frozen and grumpy,
26:11watching your window
26:12slowly defrost
26:13is about as fun
26:14as watching paint dry.
26:16And let's not forget
26:17the disaster
26:18that is wiping the mist
26:19off the inside.
26:21But hey,
26:21if you don't want to risk
26:22getting slapped with a fine,
26:24you better give this
26:25funky demisting trick a try.
26:27People have tried it all,
26:28but apparently,
26:29it was the cat litter
26:30that won the condensation game.
26:32Just grab an old sock
26:34or pair of tights.
26:35Fill them up with cat litter.
26:37Tie it up
26:37and plop it
26:38under your car's windows.
26:40It's so effective
26:41that it should do the trick
26:42in just 10 minutes.
26:44The cat litter works
26:45by absorbing the moisture
26:46in the air.
26:48Cleaning our stoves
26:49ain't fun either,
26:50let's be honest.
26:51But fear not,
26:52because one cleaning guru
26:54on TikTok
26:54has come to the rescue
26:55with a genius trick
26:57that'll make cleaning
26:58your stove a breeze.
26:59All you need
27:00is some oven spray,
27:02cling film,
27:02and a lot of patience.
27:04Start by spraying
27:06some cleaning product
27:07on the stove.
27:08Then,
27:08cover the whole thing
27:09in cling film.
27:10Here's where your patience
27:12will be needed.
27:12You'll have to wait
27:13a whole day
27:14for the cleaning product
27:15to work its magic.
27:16But trust me,
27:17once you remove
27:18that cling film,
27:19the stains
27:20will have melted off.
27:21That leftover mess
27:23on your stove
27:23can be scrubbed off
27:24easily now.
27:25Finish the job
27:26using a regular cloth
27:28for the rest
27:28of the grind.
27:30It's time you forget
27:31about fancy schmancy
27:33car trash cans.
27:34Why waste your money
27:35on those
27:35when you can repurpose
27:37a plastic cereal container?
27:39It's small enough
27:40to fit in your car
27:41and the flip-top opening
27:42means your trash
27:43won't go flying
27:44all over the place
27:45when you take sharp turns.
27:46Plus,
27:47just line it
27:48with a plastic grocery bag
27:49and you're ready to go.
27:52Feel like your feet
27:53need a bit of pampering?
27:55You can skip the expensive
27:56spa day
27:57at your local salon.
27:58All you need
27:59is a sanitary pad,
28:01some toothpaste
28:01and baking soda.
28:03Mix the toothpaste
28:04with the baking soda powder
28:06and spread it evenly
28:07on the pad.
28:08Place it on the soles
28:09of your feet
28:10and slip a sock on
28:11so it's nice and snugly.
28:13The pad should keep
28:14the mixture
28:15and moisture in
28:16so you don't make a mess
28:17all over your house.
28:19After an hour or two,
28:20rinse off the toothpaste mixture
28:22with plenty of water.
28:23You'll notice
28:24how soft
28:25the soles of your feet
28:26have become.
28:27For that extra step,
28:29add some moisturizer too.
28:31Those trusty sanitary pads
28:33can be used
28:34for all sorts of stuff
28:35around your house too,
28:36like for freshening up
28:38your drawers.
28:39Just spritz some perfume
28:40on a pad.
28:41Place it next
28:42to your clothes of choice
28:44and voila!
28:45Your gym clothes,
28:46for example,
28:46will smell like
28:47a fragrant bouquet.
28:48And don't forget
28:49to throw one
28:50in your gym bag too.
28:52Oh boy,
28:53time to give those lampshades
28:55the love they deserve.
28:56Grab a trusty lint roller
28:57and watch in amazement
28:59as you unveil
29:00a whole new world of colors
29:01underneath that forever dust.
29:04Who knew your lampshades
29:05were secretly chameleon?
29:08Say goodbye to dog hair
29:10and hello to your new
29:11household best friend,
29:12the rubber squeegee brush.
29:14This bad boy can snatch up
29:16so much fur from your carpet
29:17that you'll be wondering
29:18if you even own a pet.
29:20Just stroke it short
29:22and quick over your rug
29:23and watch it unleash
29:24a furry storm.
29:26And if you're wondering
29:27about your hardwood floors,
29:28fear not.
29:29The rubber bristles
29:30work like magic
29:31to create one giant fur ball.
29:35Save yourself
29:36from cleaning cabinets
29:37and furniture tops
29:38by hooking them up
29:39with fashionable hats.
29:41They're made out of wax paper
29:43or paper bags.
29:44The dirt and grease
29:45will stick to your new accessories
29:47and when it's time
29:48for a new look,
29:48just swap them out
29:50every few months.
29:52You know that feeling
29:53when you finally peel off
29:54a bumper sticker
29:55or parking permit,
29:56but then you're left
29:57with a sticky mess?
29:58There's a simple solution though.
30:00Slap a wet piece of newspaper
30:02on top of that gunk
30:03and let it marinate
30:04for 15 minutes.
30:06Then poof!
30:07The glue will be as soft
30:08as a fluffy cloud
30:09and you can wipe it away
30:11with ease.
30:12If your dishwasher
30:14is stinking up your kitchen,
30:15it's time to get
30:16your detective hat on.
30:17Check that filter
30:18for any leftovers
30:19lurking in there.
30:20Then add a splash of vinegar
30:22to your next hot wash cycle.
30:24Those pesky food particles
30:25could be the culprits
30:27behind your dishwasher's
30:28funky fragrance.
30:30Get ready to be
30:31a Vaseline wizard.
30:33Say goodbye to pesky
30:34polish smudges
30:35with a simple solution.
30:37Slather some Vaseline
30:38around your nails
30:39before you go to town
30:40with a brush.
30:42Once you're done,
30:43wipe away the excess
30:44without the need
30:44for any nail polish remover.
30:46And if you're feeling fancy,
30:48make that perfume
30:49last even longer
30:50by adding a touch
30:51of Vaseline
30:52to your neck and wrists.
30:54It's like a scent superhero,
30:56keeping those fragrance
30:57molecules from
30:58flying away too soon.
31:00Have you checked out
31:02your shower curtain lately?
31:03It might be looking
31:04pretty grimy and gross.
31:06Toss that bad boy
31:07in the washing machine
31:08with a couple of towels
31:09and voila!
31:10No more soap scum stains!
31:12The towels will help
31:14with scrubbing away
31:15all that mess
31:15while they're tumbling
31:16in the washing machine.
31:18Say goodbye to single socks
31:20with a strip of foam pipe insulation.
31:23Measure and cut each piece,
31:25then place it in that sneaky gap
31:27between your washer
31:28and dryer or wall.
31:30Those pesky socks
31:31will never go missing again.
31:34Got a wobbly table
31:36that's cramping your style?
31:38Your trusty bottle cork
31:40is here to save the day.
31:42Slice off a piece
31:43of that bad boy,
31:45glue it to the wobbly leg,
31:47and voila!
31:48You've got yourself
31:49a sturdy surface
31:50to rest your drink on.
31:53A hammer is more
31:55than just a smashing tool.
31:57The back of this tool
31:59can actually hold
32:00a nail for you.
32:02No more risking your fingers
32:04or giving yourself
32:05a thumbectomy.
32:07Just slide it into the claw
32:09and bam!
32:10You're ready to nail it!
32:13Want to know the saucy way
32:15to pick up a sizzling lid?
32:17Ditch those boring oven mitts
32:19and grab yourself
32:20a pair of tongs.
32:22But wait!
32:23Don't just go in head first.
32:25Use the middle!
32:27Trust me, it's hot
32:28and it's effective.
32:31Care to find out
32:32how to keep
32:33your dressing gown
32:34from slipping
32:35and sliding
32:36all over the place?
32:38Got you covered!
32:39Instead of going through
32:40all the loops,
32:42just place the cord
32:43through the front ones.
32:45You don't even need it
32:46to be wrapped around you.
32:48All the business
32:49will be in the front.
32:51Tie that cord up
32:53nice and tight,
32:54and you'll be strutting
32:56around in no time.
32:58Bet you didn't know
33:00the right way
33:00to light a multi-wit candle.
33:03You'll never hurt
33:04the tips of your fingers again.
33:06Truth is,
33:08you don't light them
33:09one by one.
33:10Just light the first one.
33:12Then angle the candle
33:14in the right position
33:15so it lights up
33:16the other ones too.
33:19So, apparently,
33:21we've all been
33:22using deodorant wrong.
33:24Who knew?
33:25You're supposed to
33:27lather that stuff on
33:28before going to bed.
33:30That's because
33:32our underarms
33:33are supposed to
33:34soak it in overnight
33:35for maximum effectiveness.
33:39I'm here to save you
33:40from the USB struggle bus.
33:42You know that symbol
33:44on the cord?
33:45Yeah, it's not just there
33:46for decoration.
33:48Align the seam
33:49with the opposite edge
33:50of the tongue,
33:51and voila!
33:52You're in business.
33:53No more flipping it
33:54upside down and sideways
33:56like a crazy person.
33:58Thank me later.
