15 Life Hacks that will make life easier!
- How to remove candle wax from a jar: place jar in freezer (yes, really). Leave for an hour. Remove jar from freezer and use a butter knife to pop wax out!
- How to clean white canvas shoes: mix 1:1.5 baking soda + detergent, scrub (sponge or clean toothbrush), let sit in liquid, rinse, then air dry.
- How to freshen your bathroom: add a couple drops of essential oil to the cardboard tube of toilet paper roll – with every spin you get a new round of freshness.
- How to curb car trash: use a cereal container, with plastic bag as trash bag, as a trash can.
- Life hack for donating clothing: go to your closet, turn all of your hangers the opposite way they are now. Going forward, when you wear anything hang it the normal way. In 6 months, anything you haven’t worn will hang the opposite way. Consider donating!

We do the pool noodles in the tall boots but the rest of these are new to me and BRILLIANT! Thanks Caroline! I love the essential oil in the toilet paper roll and the cereal box as garbage can. (We don’t have a car but I’m going to tell my mom about it — she’d do it for sure!)
Glad you like it Julie. Essential oils are a new thing for me but I’m loving the freshness of them.
I like the tip about the reusable ice pack and will definitely use this instead of a bag of peas.
I love this list of life hacks. Will try by starting with the cereal box car trash container!
I like the idea of turning hangers around so you can tell what you’ve worn recently – great way to see what is not being used!
