Oh Kallie! This is the first time ever that I’ve watched a life hack video where every single hack was completely usable!! (Being an RN I already knew about the gentle removal of bandages and tapes. And my father was a plumber so I know how to clean drains and traps). But my point is that I learned so many great hacks from you today. So a huge Thank You!!!❤. Now for a nice hot cup of coffee for me and in gratitude to you!!! Cheers😁

@user-of6te8yw5k Месяц назад

2.38 Hack #3 bandaid no pain removal is amazing! 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you so much! 🤗

@tinasesco1978 Месяц назад

Yay

@user-kv2jf1es9u 23 дня назад

😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅 yeah right?!!😅

@Angebaby1237 Месяц назад

oh wow.....the baking soda and vinegar hack i've used forever, but stopping it with the cloth forcing it down a whole new level!! Thanks Kal!!!

@sandyschneider6792 Месяц назад

You can also use a clean plunger.

@czarinatx Месяц назад

Same! 😂❤

@deemarshall8642 Месяц назад

Instead of using pool noodles and have to do all that cutting, I use the peanuts that are used for packing material. Works great, I have done this for years.

@Narbyful 22 дня назад

Boy, the bracelet puttin' on hack is really helpful for anyone, but my arthritis is getting worse by the day, so my skills with putting on bracelets are diminishing quickly. That is a great idea, and I appreciate it a TON.

@kristenmclaughlin2772 Месяц назад

We also take the white pool noodles and use them at the bottom of our doors to stop drafts by slicing one side of the pool noodle and sliding it on the bottom of our doors. It blends in with the door and is aesthetically more pleasing to the eye.

@sultryandstrong Месяц назад

Oh gosh, NOT FREAKING 20 minutes ago I was filling a giant flower pot with soil, it weighs a ton! THEN I come inside and watch this video and the pool noodle idea comes along! UGH! I actually HAVE a bunch of random pool noodles, gonna get to cutting them now, thank you SO much for this tip!

@mjscudder7198 Месяц назад

Thanks for the hack about the pool noodles, among other things. I am getting ready to put some planters over my deck railing and was going to buy styrofoam packing material for the bottoms. I will now use the pool noodles instead. Another suggestion - lay landscape cloth over the pool noodle pieces in your pot before you put in the soil. That will keep you from wasting the soil that falls around the noodles and washes out the bottom. Great suggestions!

@CarlaQuattlebaum Месяц назад

Great idea to keep the soil above the pool noodle pieces!

@CheriJ11 Месяц назад

I was wondering about the soil falling down in between the pool noodle pieces, so thank you for the tip about using landscaping cloth!

@ul3142 Месяц назад

I have been using red lava rocks for years. They are lightweight. I use them in the bottom and on top. The latter to keep the squirrels from digging in my potting soil.

@lauraholleman3560 Месяц назад

Puck lights for lamps is genius! Lots of good ideas here - thank you!

@theresabrown1272 Месяц назад

Love all these hacks !love how you end each video. “ be kind to yourself and others”. Very good advice !

@jarhead5974 Месяц назад

I love this,too! I think Kallie is a very nice person that I would LOVE to meet. Arlene

@nicolepineda697 Месяц назад

Bracelet tape! I needed this 🙌🏼. Thank you!

@CarlaQuattlebaum Месяц назад

THAT one was one of those "Now, why didn't I think of that?" ideas. I used to have this thing I got from QVC called the Bracelet Buddy. If you can picture an alligator clip attached to a 4" or so gold plastic handle, that was what it was. You clipped the alligator clip to one end of the bracelet and brought the other end around your wrist and attached the clasp to the ring. The tape is an inexpensive hack anyone can use! Now if your bracelet is really clunky, like a Pandora bracelet, you might have to act like MacGyver (use duct tape) to make the hack work.

@stephaniepapaleo9001 Месяц назад

Why have we never thought of that?! My mom once bought me a bracelet helper that is like a hook but for the life of me I can’t find it!

@reneclarkkersanty4256 Месяц назад

Hi! A pill container also works great for spices if you are going camping or staying at a Time share with a kitchen. I’ve done this for about ten years and it works great! Also, no problem getting in through security in a checked or carry on bag 🤗. Makes cooking on vacation much tastier & less expensive than buying seasoning.

@denise8791 Месяц назад

Smart!! I have little "spice" containers but this sounds more space saving!!!

@ruthpresutti4472 Месяц назад

Yes, quite a good idea! Thanks!

@judithvictoria3109 Месяц назад

Love this idea! 🤩

@user-hb2cs8fr5b 23 дня назад

Wonderful ideas Why didn’t I think of these? So logical and smart❤

@antiantipoda Месяц назад

I use broken up polystyrene from packaging to put in vases as a drainage layer. It goes in the bottom, over it I drape any rag that is made from polyester (won't rot) and fill the rest with soil. It is free and you can easily find it on the curb on trash day.

@kj7045 Месяц назад

The toilet brush/power scrubber! What the what? I would have never thought of that amazing hack. Thanks for sharing this video and all of the hacks. 😊 Happy Easter

@howellomaha Месяц назад

The hanger/paper towel holder works great, but make the cut area not as wide. You want to have to bend the plastic hanger piece just a bit more to get the roll to slide on. It keeps the paper towels from flying off when pulling one off.

@DD_LetTheDogsOut Месяц назад

I agree. I would just split it but not remove any. Would that work?

@smusser8854 25 дней назад

I have used the shower mesh bag hack for years. House is zip it closed and toss in the top rack of your dishwasher to clean your kids toys. Great for lego.

@lanoredixon170 Месяц назад

Wow! These were actually great hacks. So many of these types of videos are ridiculous but these were practical, affordable, and useful for everyday lives. Thank you for sharing!

@3h2o61 Месяц назад

Bracelet hack is brilliant and so simple. I feel stupid for not thinking of it. Well done.

@joyous5507 25 дней назад

When removing the lettering from pill dispensers etc, I use pure acetone. Works faster and also saves you in the watered-down version from the shop. When I use it on my nails I always make sure I wash my hands immediately after using it. If you want you can always add your own water to it, thus, saving you so much more on the over-priced so-called polish remover they sell in the shops !

@cm6037 Месяц назад

I love the caddy for kids snacks, mesh bag for bath toys, and the candle tissue paper transfer! 🤩 I’m looking forward to trying these hacks. Thank you!

@ThankfulNanaDiane Месяц назад

I use those hooks when I travel. Whether in a home or a hotel, there are seldom extra places to hang my washcloth or my back brush. Just don’t forget to take them with you when you leave! 😊❤

@CarlaQuattlebaum Месяц назад

Smart idea! I'm a little nervous with those suction cup hooks. I guess I've heard the mesh bag of bath toys come crashing down once too often with those kind of hooks. Now if you really want to keep a hook on the shower wall, I recommend the Command Hooks for wet environments. Again, like ThankfulNanaDiane said, don't forget to take them home with you. The Command Hooks should come off neatly when you want to remove them.

@sharkbait3332 24 дня назад

Harbor Freight carriers cheap heat guns for crafting. They get hotter quicker than a blow dryer and don't cause all your papers to fly around like spooky lil ghosts. 😂

@gloriagcoronado4217 Месяц назад

Really liked the table lamp hack! All great! Thank you! 😊

@kcook4243 26 дней назад

lol, I’ve never commented on an YT ad, but seeing Kristin Wiig SNL Target ad cracked me up!

@roannabrummel9098 Месяц назад

OMG! I love the bracelet hack! I always have trouble putting on my bracelets. Great hacks!

@revoltiz1 Месяц назад

If you have sèptic instead of sewer system, you need to be careful with vinegar. It kills the stuff that breaks down solids

@Leelaa3007 Месяц назад

I've been using your kitchen scrubber in the bathroom hack for ages now and it's the best thing ever!

@mariaa5572 Месяц назад

Thank you, really like the pantyhose and empty wrapping paper idea to prevent door drafts.

@jaimebh30 Месяц назад

I love dish soap and vinegar to clean in the bathroom! I sometimes add baking soda to my sponge for tough spots on my tub. I need to try the drain trick. I hope you and your family have a great week!

@Allisa-xh4xs Месяц назад

With vinegar, be careful to keep it away from the calk. The vinegar can cause the calk to wear out faster and cause leaks in the future.

@ruthjames715 7 дней назад

Loved the hacks, I think 8 million toys was a slight exaggeration. My son and I had a good laugh.

@rebeccaellis5892 Месяц назад

The lamp hack is great, I will have to find one so I can do this for my desk.

@courtneykholousi Месяц назад

I keep a dish scrubber in my shower thanks to you! I don’t always use it, but it’s in there on the chance I feel like it!

@alisong2328 9 дней назад

Loved these! One thing - if you put a round light in front of you is that it can block out your pupils. For people with light blue eyes, it makes their eyes look strange and very "otherworldly!" I would check the first 30 seconds of a recording to make sure this isn't happening.

@sherigorin8663 Месяц назад

Thanks for the tip about the plants!! Great idea because you're right when you fill the pot with all that soil it is extremely HEAVY!! 😆😊❤️

@tawnym9938 Месяц назад

And expensive!

@SophieMia806 Месяц назад

I put bricks in the bottom part of my larger planter, then a circle with holes over the rocks, then the soil. But I want my pot to be heavy so it's not easily movable, without wasting so much soil. And I made the circle out of the foam board from DT, and punched holes in it for drainage. I was trying to keep the cost down overall, but I really wanted to use the large river rocks, but they're so expensive, so I bought the smaller paving bricks. It works for me. 😊

@bzcookie Месяц назад

Use empty water bottles to fill big planters too

@gingereaves4097 Месяц назад

I do that and just repotted some plants into larger pots!

@sharonhughes588 Месяц назад

Aww, sweetie, I hope you get well soon!!! Great video too!

@ul3142 Месяц назад

Re pool noodles in planters... A better and lightweight solution are red lava rocks. They are also environment friendly. Been using them for years in the bottom of my planters and on top of the soil. The latter to keep squirrels from digging in the planters.

@RealBradMiller 19 дней назад

Too much of anything in the bottom of the pot raises the water table, and makes an exquisite home for ants, they love a pot with a bunch of empty space in the bottom!

@quillingmama Месяц назад

Love the tissue paper and candle. Just got a new printer and will be trying this very soon.

@melodys_Life Месяц назад

The hack for bandaid is amazing! For us with babies that have extreme eczema who can't use Vaseline/petroleum jelly because it burns them... there's a baby multipurpose ointment by Matt's which is petroleum free. Comes in a pretty good size container and can be used for diaper rashes, moisturizing, healing wounds, etc. :)

@lisab9541 Месяц назад

Would coconut oil also work? A friend says it is good for after wash before diapering.

@jacquimg2469 Месяц назад

Gosh - these were great. So logical but most so overlooked (by me.) Thank you Kallie!

@sweetlady6059 22 дня назад

Kallie what great hacks! I loved all of them. I usually have to go through the videos a couple times to have them stick in my brain! So I’ll look forward to trying these out!Have a great week!

@sheilahubbard4032 Месяц назад

I love all of these hacks. Good job 👍🏼

@brendastough2800 Месяц назад

I love your hacks they make life easier. Thanks for sharing your ideals. ❤❤

@citygal2198 Месяц назад

For bandaid, use rubbing alcohol. Just wet a cloth or paper towel and wipe over the parts that have the sticky stuff. Comes off without having to pull it off.

@christinedisneyqueen5746 Месяц назад

Love all of these tips…thank you! 😁

@thegreyhoundgirls536 Месяц назад

This is such an excellent and more importantly, useful video!! Thank-you!

@minkademko2335 Месяц назад

Good portable lamp idea❤

@katebarr4923 Месяц назад

Peroxide is also an awesome drain cleaner. I use the pill organizers for seasonings while camping.

@DanceintheRaine666 Месяц назад

Brilliant!

@myrnadevore5461 Месяц назад

I'm a retired RN and peroxide works great for getting blood stains out of white clothes.

@StephanieGrealis Месяц назад

I took your advice about the DT dish scrubber to use in the shower a year ago and I love it! That Walmart lamp is so cute! Great find!!! You sound in your outro like you may be fighting a cold! Wishing you good health! I’m fighting pneumonia right now myself! Wishing you well!

@7LisaMarie7 Месяц назад

Pneumonia! Yikes! That's serious. If it's bacterial pneumonia, hopefully you're on good antibiotics. Of course, I'm sure you know, drink lots of liquids and do some deep breathing exercises! Take care!

@StephanieGrealis Месяц назад

@@7LisaMarie7 it is bacterial and I am on a ten day course of antibiotics to start! I’m really good about fluids, I just hate that it makes me pee constantly when I just want to sleep!! Thank you for the healing thoughts!! 💜 take care!!

@susanabalos2766 3 дня назад

Thank you ❤

@CarlaQuattlebaum Месяц назад

The use of cut up pool noodles as a filler for large pots with fake plants was pretty neat! For smaller pots with real plants, I used to use packing peanuts, mainly for drainage, but I think the chopped up pool noodle is a better idea for putting a smaller plant into a little bit larger pot without using so much soil -- and for drainage. I need to do that with one of my Philodendrons. Then it'll fit into my IKEA hanging pot a LOT better.

@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica Месяц назад

You could use grocery bags for the moss thing as well

@ingrid2543 Месяц назад

Great hacks, we have a deep trough type planter and I am going to fill the bottom with pool noodles then landscape paper then the soil. For potted plants I use coffee filters on top of the foam, then the soil.

@karenschell9822 Месяц назад

Could use empty water bottles too or any plastic bottles

@deliciousnatalicious Месяц назад

I take pills every day and I have found that the pill cases at Dollar Tree break very easily. That said, pill cases are also good for small screws, nuts, washers, and bolts. My husband uses them when he’s assembling something or taking something apart and doesn’t want to lose the little pieces.

@marthameyer7918 Месяц назад

Love this! I’ve been using a $tree pill container for years. I expect it to break any day but so far so good! I open each day 3 times in a day too.

@lisab.3091 Месяц назад

I find the large double row pill containers, such as the one shown here, pop open unexpectedly. The smaller Dollar Tree ones I've never had an issue with.

@sararaxter2706 Месяц назад

I've been using them for years

@brigittemerz9667 Месяц назад

Could be a great idea for sorting little Lego pieces (yes I get a little obsessed with sorting our huge amount of lego)

@kristinkowalski5964 Месяц назад

Bandaid hack: put hand sanitizer on it. It will loosen the glue right away.

@empresswb641 Месяц назад

The wrapping paper in the tights door edge hack!!!! I will be making it tomorrow. It will save me so much angst. My sweet cat learned a terrible habit as a kitten. He can open doors by pawing the bottom.if the door is shut he does not give up.... he pulls and pulls until someone in the house goes crazy and let's him through. Cannot wait to try this!!!
