Life Hacks

Today I am sharing 20 life hacks, ways to manage daily activities and tasks more efficiently and improve organization. Some of these hacks will save you time, hassles and embarassment! You have most likely already heard about some of these but check it out.




1. Dry clothes quickly without a dryer by putting the wet clothes on a towel, rolling it up and twist it as tightly as possible to squeeze out the excess water.

2.       To remove odours from your shoes, place a few tea bags in each shoe and leave it overnight.

3.       If you want to amplify the speakers of your phone, put your phone into a glass or bowl.

4.       When you take a cooler of drinks to the beach, a party, or anywhere, keep the ice last longer by sprinkling salt on it.

5.       Are you finding it hard to open a jar lid? Run it under hot water for a minute or two, wipe it and then it should open.

6.       To break in flat shoes, wear thick socks and your flats, blow dry your flats around the tight area and repeat until your shoes fit well.

7.       Looking for a way to store your handbags and purses? Hang them in your cupboard with hooks.

8.       To help tell the difference between each household member’s set of keys, paint them with nail polish.

9.       Hanging necklaces will save them from getting tangled. If you don’t have actual necklace holders, use an old CD rack. Another way is putting you necklaces through straws.

10.   Store your hair appliances in a caddy.

11.   Take your own hot pack, Put rice in a sock.

12.   Use a hair straightener to iron the hems of your skirts and dresses.

13.   Placing an envelope in the fridge for an hour should unseal it. This is great if you forgot to add something in a letter or package.

14.   Have you accidentally texted the wrong person? Put your phone on airplane mode and once it fails to deliver, delete the message.

15.   thoughts keeping you up at night, try writing them down, it allows your brain to release them and clears your head so you can sleep.

16.   Write down a list of your positive attributes, skills, things you love about yourself and read it a couple times a day to decrease anxiety and promote self-love.

17.   If you’re walking alone at night, call someone and talk to them. This will help ease your nerves and if something happens, they can call the police. You could also go live on Instagram or Facebook for your viewers to help keep you calm and safe.

18.   Hot water with lemon and honey helps cure a sore throat.

19.   Stuff boots with newspaper, pool noodles or something to keep them in shape.

20.   Follow the two-minute rule! If you see something that needs doing and it can be completed within two minutes, just do it. Why postpone what can be done now?

There you have it, a few ways to simplify your life.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
