35+ Useful Hacks We Wish We Knew Sooner
The Mighty Pizza Cutter
We’re going to let you in on a little secret — a big part of life hacking is realizing that we can use the random things we have around our house for things that might not seem like their intended target.
The pizza cutter is a perfect example of that — that round cutter is way more useful than just for cutting pizza. In fact, you can use it to cut anything somewhat soft, like salami, cookie dough, and even herbs.
Hanging Storage Space
Anyone who’s ever lived in a tiny apartment at some point knows that you must utilize as much storage space as you possibly can. In that endeavor, those simple pocket hangers for the back of your door are your friends.
These could be used anywhere in your home to give you extra room to easily reach smaller items that you use just about every day. In the kitchen, you can use one with herbs and spices. In the bathroom, hang lotions, creams, and soaps. And in the bedroom, use it for seasonal gear!
Never Lose the Edge Again
We all know how horribly frustrating it can be when you really need sellotape to not be able to find the edge so you can actually use it. While some use the age-old method of folding the edge over, that’s just a waste of usable tape.
This hack, though, will save your tape and your sanity — use a bobby pin to hold the edge off the rest of the tape for easy identification and access. With this idea, you’re sure to never be frustrated by tape again!
Water Drain Garden
Alright, this one is a bit more complicated than many of our other hacks. But, we promise it’s worth it! After all, we’re all about repurposing and recycling in our hacks — so, why not use your drain pipe to water a little garden?
This little self-watering vegetable garden makes for an amazing long-term DIY project as you can get years of fruits, vegetables, and herbs to grow in it if you put in the effort. This is the perfect way to make something boring into a beautiful and useful feature!
The internet is full of really silly, funny, and weird hacks and ideas, that, let’s face it, often don’t really work. We, however, have scoured the net to find for you the best and easiest hacks to make your life just a little bit easier. Check them out, and remember, don’t knock ‘em ‘till you try ‘em for yourself!
