20 Life Tips

20) Bagel Holder - Here's a new use for your ancient CD-rom holder! You can take that useless old piece of plastic and repurpose it as a convenient sandwich holder.

19) Sponge Ice Packs - No more ice cubes clanking around in the bag and dripping all over. This sponge in a bag idea is so great because the sponge will absorb the liquid as it melts!

18)Vertical Cloth Stacks - Such a simple idea! By stacking your clothes vertically in your drawers, you can get a better sense of all your wardrobe possibilities.

17) Hair clip for messy wires - Eliminate the constant tangling by using a small hair clip to keep wires straight. This solution is even easier to use than rubber bands.

16) Toothpaste and car headlamps - What a difference a little toothpaste makes in keeping your headlights clean and sparkly. Rather than spending money on costly materials, this solution is inexpensive and effective.

15) DVD Scratches - If the disk is skipping, rub a banana over it to seal the scratches and keep the DVD playing. Remember to wipe it off before you stick it back in.

14) Wood Scratches - Rub a walnut on scratches in your favorite wood furniture pieces to make those blemishes disappear.



13) Amplify - Put your iPhone or iPod into a bowl. It will amplify the speaker and make the party even louder.

12) Save Ink - Whenever possible, print in Times New Roman. You'll get 100 more pages out of a cartridge than you will printing in heavier fonts like Arial or Verdana.

11) New in the city - Lost or bored in a new city? Call up the concierge at a local upscale hotel. They'll give you insider tips and answers to questions that only locals can answer.

10) Motion Sickness - Put a dryer sheet in your pocket next time you go hiking or camping. It will keep the mosquitoes away from you.

9) Dryer Sheet - Put a dryer sheet in your pocket next time you go hiking or camping. It will keep the mosquitoes away from you.

8) Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Put bread and cheese in the toaster sideways. It makes a DIY toaster oven that makes great, crunchy grilled cheese sandwiches.

7) Popsicles / Ice cream stick - Place a muffin tin liner on the bottom of your popsicle. It will catch the drips and keep your fingers from getting sticky.

6) Grocery Bag - Don't let those plastic handles dig into your fingers. Thread a small, hard item through the handles and hold that instead.

5) White Board - Accidentally wrote on the white board with permanent marker? Scribble over it with dry erase marker and it will erase right off.

4) Wasp Spray - Work in a shady area? The cops recommend keeping a can of wasp spray on your desk. It will deter would-be attackers from up to 20 feet away and won't blind everyone else in the room too.

3) Unplug it - Before you leave for work or class, unplug everything. Even when electronic devices are off they suck up energy. Pulling the plug can cut up to 10% off of your energy bill.

2) Plane Tickets - Buy your plane tickets in the middle of the week to save $100 or more. Ticket vendors jack up the prices on the weekend to trap vacationers who make impulse ticket purchases.

1)Phone Alarm Clock - Does your roommate's phone alarm sound through the wall and drive you crazy? Call them. It will turn the alarm off. Wait for them to answer and they won't even miss work.
