Life Hacks That Actually Work

Don't Let Your Buttons Pop Off

Every now and then we notice that a button has popped off on our favorite shirt. This usually happens because the thread of the button got a little worn out. To avoid this from happening, put a clear coat of nail polish on over the button. This should make them last way longer!

The More You Know

If you know you'll need to bake with brown sugar soon and it's too hard to use, stick a piece of bread in with the sugar overnight and leave the two in a sealed plastic bag.
Most cutting boards don’t come with any kind of rubber surface on the bottom to prevent them from sliding on a countertop, but with a couple of rubber bands, you can stabilize your cutting board and keep it from moving around during use.
If you've spilled candle wax on a piece of furniture, don't risk ruining the finish by trying to scrape it up. Simply fill a plastic bag with ice cubes, put it over the wax, and let it sit for a few minutes.
Rubber bands will last much longer when they are refrigerated.
