NateLee I saw something like the first hack you showed. But you can put those little bottle brush Christmas trees in boiling water if they get smashed in packing them away and they will straighten back out. Haven't tried it because I haven't smashed any of mine yet. 🤗💕💞

From rugs, to tile, to wood floors - you nailed it! Thanks for the love! ❤ We'll be friends with your pup in no time!

Another secret to rolling up your tape measure is to replace your drill bit with a bobbie pin. Slide the end of the tape measure into the bobbie pin and then wind slowly.

Hi NataLee, Thanks for the great video. I used to sell fragrances. When you spray and then rub the scent in, you break down the initial top notes. It is sometimes better to spray and let dry naturally so you can smell the top and then the mid and base notes of the scent.

Natalee, the way you laugh and always are smiling really is infectious. I found myself smiling as well just watching you fiddle with the crazy tape hack! 😂❤

I love when someone that i trust tests these hacks. Would love to see more.

Regarding the packing tape hack: the zip tie was too loose and when you clipped it you left way too much of the zip tie, it should've been much shorter. Just a tip

Need to have more zip tie to cut on an angle so it was sharp so it will be able to cut the packing tape

I have been a fliral designer for iver 30 yrs and learned the knife AND scissor sharpening on the coffee mug bottom hack my first couple months of work. I use it constantly at home in my kitchen also. It REALLY works!

I’m cracking up after you did the sawzall shaking the can!🤣🤣🤣

Fantastic hacks. New hack!! There’s nothing worse than needing room temperature butter or cream cheese for a recipe and not having it available. Thankfully there’s a hack to quickly soften butter or cream cheese to room temperature. Place warm water into a glass and let it sit for a moment. Place the butter or cream cheese on a plate. Empty the glass of water and place upside down over. After a minute or so, you will have softened butter or cream cheese.

Packing tape hack tip...the zip tie needs to be cut short and angled...and it needs to be tight on the roll.

Yes Natalie most of the hacks for good would like you to do more of those hacks

I have a hack, if you’ve put leftover spaghetti in a plastic container and now the container has an orange hue to it, just put water about half way up in the container add a squeeze of Dawn dish soap, and a paper towel, even a used one, put the lid on the container, give it a few shakes and just like magic the container is clear again. This won’t work if you’ve reheated spaghetti in the container. 😊

Either use a spray oil, or I use coconut oil on a paper towel to coat the inside the plastic ware, to prevent staining. Unless the item is specifically made for the microwave, I never heat up anything in plastic.

Just an FYI. You have beautiful eyes and I think I like you better without false eyelashes. Loved these hacks😎

To clean baseboards I use my vacuum extension with the angle attachment or if really dirty I use comet wipes to clean 1st and then after you can just use vacuum every week when you normally vacuum the house and they will stay clean, mine are painted white so once clean the vacuum works.

My mom has always sharpened her knives on the bottom of mugs.

I have to keep my trash cans in the garage until trash day so when I bring them back in the garage empty I pour some dry coffee in the bottom and whenever I go in the garage it smells wonderful especially in the summer when it’s hot.

I keep food trash in my freezer until trash day. I save bread bags and other types of bags that food comes in, keeping those in the freezer as well, so when I have something to discard, the bags are handy, and the food/trash item goes into the bag, back into the freezer. Saves on stinky trash, bugs and their nastiness!!!

The salsa cut the tape right off! That was so funny and ridiculous too why would anybody go through the trouble of finding the tape and taking the time to wrap their can around their saw blade when they can just shake it and maybe build that bicep up just a tiny bit😂

'Oops I broke a sweat' 😅😅😅😅😂 If I taped the spray can to the Sawzall my luck, it would come untaped and fly through the picture window😢 maybe you should have used that packing tape it seemed pretty strong lol😅

Hi Natalie, in regards to the rolling up the measuring tape, it looks like he had a slit hole to put the end into. Regarding your Ninja, you can also use canning jars. Your lid will fit on them.

@designedtothenines

Oooohhhhh. I love that idea. I must try it! 💕💕interesting about the slit I didn’t notice that!

measuring tape can strech easily. at tailoring school they teached us to never roll them tightly bc of that.

I have tried the foil trick for scissors. It didn’t work when I tried to cut fabric. To be fair, I didn’t crumble it up. I’ll try it.

HAHAHAHA you broke a sweat. LOL.

I think your supposed to cut the zip tie at an angle but cut it as short as possible. That way it doesn’t bend when your pushing it against the tape. I’ve never tried it but those our my thoughts 😊

If nothing else these were interesting. Rolling a tape measure with a drill is just goofy. I could do it manually faster than it takes to walk out to the garage, find the drill and right bit. I'd probably tear my finger up too. You had a sense of humor about it all. Thanks for sharing.

I think the Vaseline perfume tip works due to a barrier the Vaseline creates. It prevents the bacteria that we always have on the skin to start to break down the perfume.

Thank you so much

I sew and use measuring tape all the time. I never have a problem rolling it with just my hands. Much faster than go get the drill and fiddle with it. There are many tips and hacks that work, but they often defeat the purpose by requiring going to get the needed supplies that require more time than just doing the task the good old way. The trick to shake a paint with a saw is absurdly ridiculous!🤣

That was fun

16:41 I use a tape gun 😃

The tape and zip tie does work, but it has to be a stiff zip tie. The thin ones won’t work.

The foil doesn't sharpen them, they do clean them however (my grams taught me that years ago). And if they're cleaner, then they'll cut a bit better.

The tie strap is to loose and you have to cut it shorter and put the tape taught so the tie strap can snap the tape.

its monday. I watch it on my trash days thats how I know what day of the week.

I learned a lot, thanks.

Natalie, these are great hacks thank you for all of them. Definitely going to try them anything to make life a little easier.

I use the square plastic bread tie. Place in the center of the tape and you don’t lose it. Still need scissors to cut, but it’s a good hack. Don’t use your teeth!

Great hacks thank you ❤😊

Thanks! Great ideas!

I love the foil to sharpen scissors hack. I think my brother taught me that one years ago. It's funny when you've been doing something for so long you don't think of it as a hack (at least I don't) I love the knife sharpening hack (will be trying that one very soon!)

It's a knock off of the Green Island Smoothie at tropical smoothie cafe... I get most the ingredients at BJs... 1 cup frozen organic greens which is a mix of kale and spinach, 1/2 a frozen banana, and about a cup of frozen tropical fruit (which is a mix of mango, pineapple, peaches and strawberries), fill halfway to the ingredient line with an organic 100% tropical juice (also mango peach pineapple) and fill up the rest of the way with water, add about 6-7 drops of stevia sweetener and blend. It's sooo good!!

Do you have a hack to easily clean baseboards without sitting on the floor?

@nuthinbutlove

16 күн бұрын

Wrap a damp towel around a broom and use a rubber band up near where the bristles to connect to hold it in place. Then you can just use your broom to clean the baseboards. I learned this trick in the Air Force to do tile/hard floors. Makes cleaning floors and baseboards easy, picks up dust and works like a charm. If you're cleaning floors you can also add some cleaning product to the towel.

You must use the thicker zip ties to make the cutting work. The thinner ones are too flimsy.

The tape one work we do that work, just make sure the zip tie is very short

The site Says customers say it does not do well on shag carpets or deeper pile carpets. It gets stuck in the pile.

Please don’t use essential or fragrance oils in litter boxes, too close and most are toxic to cats. Also, cats are very particular about their boxes so they may avoid them, causing all kinds of nasty problems. There’s scented shakers available at your local supermarket especially for cat litter that actually works. Multiple cat owner speaking🙂🐈‍⬛

It's so crazy... it's been a couple weeks since I did this hack and the scent is still going strong. Honestly, I haven't had to do it yet, but there were a lot of them in the package so if I can't use a dropper to re-saturate, I will probably pop them off and just use a new one from the package.
