Best Tiny Hacks of 2019
Little tricks may seem small, but they can make a big difference in your life. Here are the best little life hacks we’ve posted this year.
Throw away all uncomfortable underwear right now.
Alicia Adamchik
Do you know what’s really good? An underwear that covers your entire butt and you can wear it comfortably throughout the day. Do you know what you don’t like? Ruffles, buttons, clasps, most thongs, underwear that has dried too much in the dryer, etc.
Peel the cast iron with aluminum foil
Claire Lower
The rolled foil with hot water is rough enough to scrape off stubborn food, but not abrasive enough to flush off all the seasoning.
Shared beds require separate duvets
Beth Skoreki
When we changed from a queen bed to a king size bed, I was left with a queen size duvet. It fits perfectly across the bed, without hanging over the edge, and at night belongs only to me. (My husband prefers a light blanket or sheet.)
Go to a museum on a first date
Alice Bradley
Our styles of visiting museums showed that we were fundamentally incompatible: one of us was cheerful (albeit fickle and impatient), and the other was terrible (albeit tense and deep).
There is no better size Starbucks coffee on the menu
Nick Douglas
Starbucks Height – 12 ounces; grande – 16; Venti – 20. (Trenta – Jesus – 31 oz.) You don’t have to order any of this. You should order “short”.
SNL Fashion Coward Is Really Full Of Hack Hack Attacks
Virginia K. Smith
Being a fashionable coward will save you endless wasted hours – and hundreds, if not thousands of wasted dollars – on clothes you never really liked.
How to get Disney + with Hulu ad-free
David Murphy
Instead of buying a bundle, you’ll first want to purchase an ad-free Hulu subscription ($ 12 per month).
Make a quick bib for your baby with Press’n Seal plastic wrap
by Michelle Wu
If your child has grown out of bibs and you don’t want to tuck a napkin into his shirt because there is an 87% chance of it slipping out or getting wet, try this.
Use this sheet the next time you make your bed.
Josh Ocampo
After you have successfully closed your first corner, move to the diagonal corner for a second try. Setting the diagonal angle will not cause the first to break out.
Always look at your pay slip
Lisa Rowan
Check your working hours, deductions for taxes and benefits, and other records such as accumulated vacation time. The more familiar you are with what is normal for your paycheck, the better equipped you will be to spot inaccuracies should they arise.
What to say to a child instead of “five more minutes”
by Michelle Wu
Tell the children that they can do what they are doing seven (or more) times.
Pay for Amazon Prime only when you need it
Lisa Rowan
Buy it for just a month when you move and know that you will need a lot of little things that are often difficult to find in stores. Buy it for a month when your car is in the store and getting to the store is more difficult. Get it for a month when ordering holiday gifts!
And then cancel it when you no longer need it.
Finally How To Get To Your Marmite
Nick Douglas
Who could get through the day without putting this savory salat on bread, toast, unsweetened cookies or crackers, and other similar baked goods [NB: CHECK WHETHER WIKIPEDIA IS INCORRECT OR JUST IN BRITISH LANGUAGE]?
