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😁
2.38 Hack #3 bandaid no pain removal is amazing! 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you so much! 🤗
Yay
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!!!
You can also use a clean plunger.
Same! 😂❤
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!
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.
Smart!! I have little "spice" containers but this sounds more space saving!!!
Yes, quite a good idea! Thanks!
Love this idea! 🤩
Bracelet tape! I needed this 🙌🏼. Thank you!
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.
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!
Love all these hacks !love how you end each video. “ be kind to yourself and others”. Very good advice !
I love this,too! I think Kallie is a very nice person that I would LOVE to meet. Arlene
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!
Great idea to keep the soil above the pool noodle pieces!
I was wondering about the soil falling down in between the pool noodle pieces, so thank you for the tip about using landscaping cloth!
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.
Puck lights for lamps is genius! Lots of good ideas here - thank you!
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.
I agree. I would just split it but not remove any. Would that work?
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
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.
Really liked the table lamp hack! All great! Thank you! 😊
Bracelet hack is brilliant and so simple. I feel stupid for not thinking of it. Well done.
lol, I’ve never commented on an YT ad, but seeing Kristin Wiig SNL Target ad cracked me up!
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!
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! 😊❤
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.
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.
OMG! I love the bracelet hack! I always have trouble putting on my bracelets. Great hacks!
I've been using your kitchen scrubber in the bathroom hack for ages now and it's the best thing ever!
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.
Thank you, really like the pantyhose and empty wrapping paper idea to prevent door drafts.
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!
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.
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.
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.
I've been using them for years
Could be a great idea for sorting little Lego pieces (yes I get a little obsessed with sorting our huge amount of lego)
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!
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!! 😆😊❤️
And expensive!
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. 😊
This is such an excellent and more importantly, useful video!! Thank-you!
I love all of these hacks. Good job 👍🏼
Gosh - these were great. So logical but most so overlooked (by me.) Thank you Kallie!
The lamp hack is great, I will have to find one so I can do this for my desk.
You always have the best videos and ideas! Thanks! 😊
Aww, sweetie, I hope you get well soon!!! Great video too!
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. :)
Would coconut oil also work? A friend says it is good for after wash before diapering.
Love all of these tips…thank you! 😁
Love the tissue paper and candle. Just got a new printer and will be trying this very soon.
Wow thank you, these were great hacks!!
Once again, pure genius!
Peroxide is also an awesome drain cleaner.
I use the pill organizers for seasonings while camping.
Brilliant!
I'm a retired RN and peroxide works great for getting blood stains out of white clothes.
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!
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!
@@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!!
Loved these! Thank you so much!
I love your hacks they make life easier. Thanks for sharing your ideals. ❤❤
Thank you for all these great hacks ! 👍♥️. I’m sure all husbands will be excited to learn them too, and make good use of them 😂.
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!
I love your dollar tree hacks videos. Please make more!
Good portable lamp idea❤
Thanks for these great ideas.
Very helpful! love this thank you
Incredible hacks thanks dear… wishing you a blessed weekend ❤️
Hey Kallie. Great hacks. Totally useful. THX. Appreciate you.😊❤
Thank you these are great hacks!!
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.
The best video you have done in a year! Thanks.
Ok this is the best hacks video ever. I've only watched to the doorstopper so far and I'm literally doing that and the sink TONIGHT!! Tanks so much.
Wow! Loved ALL of these hacks! Thank you so much!!🩷
If you have sèptic instead of sewer system, you need to be careful with vinegar. It kills the stuff that breaks down solids
Thank you Kallie, every time I watch you I learn something. Very useful hacks.
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.
Really love ALL your ideas!!
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.
I love the bathroom cleaning hack with the scrubber. I will be using that. Thank you ❤
Great tips, as always! Thank you!
You could use grocery bags for the moss thing as well
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.
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.
Could use empty water bottles too or any plastic bottles
oh my, I got to the hack for the bathroom and stopped the video and tried it. I think my tub will need many more tries, but I am sure it has helped some. thanks for all the hacks. Happy Resurrection Sunday.
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.
Excellent tips. Thanks
Hi Kallie! Good hacks, really happy that your personality & delivery hasn’t gotten all “yootoobee” like so many others have. You’re the cutest ❤
These were some really amazing hacks!
I have wanted a way to organize my massive amount of earrings that didn’t look ridiculous and actually held more than four pairs and this with the pill thing is perfect. I’m gonna go buy about five of them.v😂❤❤❤❤
Love the candle and transfer idea.
Excellent! Love that you didn’t waste any of our time! 🎉🎉🎉
First time here and will be back for more! Usually I find life “hacks” useless but yours are def worth doing! Keep up the good work 👍
Always great tips tfs.
❤❤❤Thank you for sharing!!! 😊
Baby oil work's with a bandaid too.
Love the candles ❤
Okay the lamp idea was brilliant! But just use a vacuum on the rug and a plunger on the drain. Good Grief. lol.
what everybody else said before me 👇👇👇 the hacks are awesome and at my advanced age when I'm struggling with something in my environment I ask myself "what would Kallie do?" and then I grin with joy 💙💚💙
Me too!
Love the candle trick!!!
Great hacks!!!
Cleaning out your drains also bumps off any fruit flies that might be breeding there. Boiling water does the trick.
Great ideas 😊
These are all so great❣
