    Idk what people have against ceiling fans, they're extremely functional both in summer and winter, and are cheaper than AC. Who cares if they're trendy or not? There are so many styles to pick from so it's not as if it has to clash.

      I have wanted one in our bedroom sense we moved into our home 11 years ago and my husband say no. We do have a pitch ceiling and no light there, but he would not do one in our old home and it was a normal ceiling. I think he doesn’t like the idea of a fan over the bed🤷‍♀️ we have A/C and I think it would help save on our bill.

  • @reverendmonique-mariebray2436

    Regarding left over paint storage, I think using a jar is fine, but if you have quite a bit of paint left over you can store it in one of these medium to large plastic bottles designed for liquid laundry soap. Save one and make sure there is no soap left at the bottom by cleaning it thoroughly. Then transfer your left over paint in the bottle. It has a beek which makes it very useful to control the paint quantity you want to use.

      @critchley999 Před rokem

      I bought a lot of different size plastic clips from Amazon and they're quick and easy to clip on any part-used bags. They work on the tougher freezer bagged stuff too. The bread one only really works when you've used nearly half of the loaf and have a good turn back. The tying the "handles" on the chip/crisp bags looks tricky and I'd probably end up with them all on the floor ..lol.

    Hi, very informative, thank you! There is a hack for cleaning rags/cloths that are best used in designsted areas , i.e. cloths to clean toilets not used for the sinks etc so colour coding is a good way to keep them apart. There is a great way to remember: Green for cuisine, blue for loo, pink for sink and mustard for dusters. X

    I wouldn't recommend olive oil for the cutting board. Olive oil will turn rancid. I oil my boards with mineral oil every few months to keep them in great shape. Love all the other hacks--actually went in my closet and hung my 2 maxi dresses on double hangers before the end of the video!!

      @Kathy A coconut oil does so go rancid faster then any other oils.. Have you ever smelled rancid coconut oil. I have. I made bath bombs for a craft fair/show and we finished to the show, packed up . I had to put some in the trunk of my neices car as she would take them back to the shop the next day. Well she remembered two days later about the bath bombs. I opened one to see if it was good cause it got so soft and omg they were rancid. The smell can make you sick. We live in South Louisiana with 93° Temps. that has alot to do with it as well as the age of the oil.

    Some really great ideas. On the cutting board, you should consider using either mineral oil or a beeswax-based cutting board conditioner. Food-based oils go rancid and that rancidity will be impregnated into the wood of your board. Over time, that can become very unpleasant.

    I've been doing the bread twist for a long time. I find it helpful to squeeze some of the air out before you twist. Then I put the loaf in the cabinet. Less air and storing in a dark place really extends the life of the bread.

    I've been painting for many years, ( and I'm in my 60's) ..the " paint hack " has been around since I was in my late 20's... but for the younger ones, I guess it's helpful. Also stored my paint tray, rolkers, everything in large clear trash bags, ready for the next day.
    I also used the Mason Jars, with the sealing lids to store paint, keeps it fresh. Us older folks know most of the " hacks", lol. But for those who are not acquainted with Life Hacks, it's a good video.

      I only watched part of this. Some of her information is not suited for everyone that's definite. I stopped watching when she was talking about using day light bulbs in her kitchen for that white, bright look. I like a white, bright light everywhere, or there's just no point IMO. So, I use white, bright bulbs, which are brighter than daylight ones I find. You are absolutely correct, Texas Stardust, her ideas are definitely more toward "younglings" and those that were not taught things growing up I suspect. My son, younger than she, just bought his first home, and he's been using paint hacks like she's shown.

    • @honeyrococo
      @honeyrococo Před rokem +1

      It’s not an age thing, it’s a class and an interest thing. Wealthier people do not paint their own homes so they don’t need to know how to store paint. Some wealthier people maybe enjoy diy so they do know. When people in their 60s were young, the living wage was higher so there are lots of older people too who have never needed to know how to store paint until now. Younger people these days are the first generations in history who don’t have a better life / better prospects than their parents did, so they need all these “life hacks” that maybe they didn’t learn from their wealthier parents. Plus the global recession means more older people will have to learn for the first time as well. I’m sure it’s not news to anyone who grew up lower or middle working class who had to paint their rooms themselves.

    I have some additions to the hacks you presented… as a daughter of a home ec major my mom was always had tips and tricks for stuff around the house.
    1. The bread tie hack(before twisting) suck all of the air out of the bread sack. I use a fat straw. It’s the exposure to air that makes food go bad. Then twist and flip as normal.
    2.) Where did you find the black leather backpack purse with the white stitching?
    3.) Put painter’s tape on board before drilling to stop splits in the wood.

      I first heard about this from my grandmother in the early 2000s. She told me her mom would boil something on the stove to make the house smell good. I asked her what she put in there but she said she didn't know so as the years went by I found out online and put the two together. I knew she mentioned something about using orange peels so when I do this it's a nice memory of her and the great grandmother I never got to meet. ❤

    Love that you’re picking up things at the thrift store like your baskets. They do make some of the other things that you’ve purchased in plastic- in wood- that are easy to find at the thrift store. I think we should be very careful to not be adding more microplastics to the environment and to our bodies. No reason to disrupt the hormones and reproductive systems of babies by continuing to buy plastic. Yay for thrift stores!

    Some great tips! Never heard of rubbing a walnut onto wood scratches, will have to try it. I too would not recommend treating cutting boards with olive oil. Use food grade mineral oil instead. Mineral oil soaks into the wood without going rancid.

    • @mariekatherine5238
      @mariekatherine5238 Před 2 lety +2

      The walnut works on non-food wood because of the natural oils in it. Although walnut oil is edible, it goes rancid very quickly. That doesn’t matter on furniture, but can well ruin your cutting board or wooden utensils. Use plain mineral oil on them, instead.

    @LA70S Před 2 lety +3

    We love our ceiling fans and they are always on low with the central air. The air runs less and we stay cool. For your paint, have the paint store run two extra paint labels for your paint. Keep a notebook that you keep paint colors/manufacturer of the paint you are using and put one of those paint formula stickers in the notebook for each room. If you are storing your leftover paint in a jar or a purchased smaller container, write the room name on the jar and put the sticker on that jar. That way, should you need to purchase more paint, the formula for the paint is right there.

    Hi Liz, I watched every single “hack” and wow, I learned so many new easy ways of doing things. My favorite was the light bulb that you put in your lamp but you didn’t have an outlet. What a unique, useful hack that I will definitely be trying. I am building a new home that will be ready in a couple of weeks. The living room is 26 feet long so I will have to “float” the two sofas and they will not be close to the outlets. This is where your idea 💡 using this particular light bulb will save the day. Many thanks for sharing all of these ideas. 🤗🤙 Lark

    • @thatssassy9697

      These bulbs last 3 to 4 hours. Then you will need to either plug the lamp in somewhere else or remove the bulb and place them into a socket somewhere with power to recharge them. They were designed for power outages.
