Life Hacks That Actually Work

Can Openers Aren't Just for Cans

Blister packs are so annoying! Even the best scissors struggle to cut them. Honestly, the best way to get those packages open is to use a can opener. The sharp blade is literally made to cut metal, so it only makes sense that it'll easily cut through the plastic. Try it next time!

The More You Know

When you go to the beach and take your cooler with you, sprinkle salt on the ice so that it stays frozen for much longer.
For easy cleanup, use a quick spritz of cooking spray on your cheese grater to keep the cheese from sticking.
Next time you have a sore neck or back, don’t reach for an electric heating pad. Instead, fill a sock with uncooked rice, tie the end and microwave it for two or three minutes.
Stop losing socks!. Stuff a strip of foam pipe insulation into the space between your washer and dryer or along the wall. That way, socks can't slip into the abyss.
