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😁
Except when you can’t… diy plumbing they glued the whole trap together. Would have tried covering the drain with the mix or a plunger if I had saw this. Instead cost me $300 for drain tech to cut out the pipes clean then replace with proper disconnectable parts.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
Great hacks ... Im a dollar store junky that pool noodle hack for planters is brilliant (reminder to keep those Styrofoam peanuts from mail boxes too ... I've been throwing them away) Every year I’ve wanted rocks to build up my planters but I live at the beach and mostly have sand, I guess I can use shells ... but the fact that the noodles aren't heavy is brilliant. I've never seen a pool noodle demonstration that I would use until now
I almost bought a battery powered scrubber, but you just made my decision to hold off so worth it! such a genius idea! I also love the little caddies and am always trying new ways to use them. My kids are grown, but I have dogs. One way to use the caddy is to put their grooming supplies (brush, spray, clippers, treats...) in it so I don't have to hunt it all down each time. Thanks for all of your ideas and motivation!
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 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!
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.
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!
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 !
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.
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. 😊
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!!
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. :)
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.
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.
Hello, loved all the hacks you mentioned! Especially the light, i do some art work and always taking the shade off. This would work perfectly! Thank you
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!
I bought that exact same pill organizer at my local Dollar Tree and when I tried to open each compartment I found they wouldn’t open unless I pried them open. Did I just get a bad one? Dollar Tree has some good things but I want to caution people about that daily pill organizer. Other than that, thanks for the great tips!
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.
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!!!
The First hack is a winner for me . I clean houses for a living i also live on a farm with teenagers boys. My mud room has those rugs.. I find them so hard to keep clean. thank you for sharing ❤❤❤ i cant whait to try it out.
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.
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.

2.38 Hack #3 bandaid no pain removal is amazing! 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you so much! 🤗
Yay
😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅 yeah right?!!😅
Right
How do you clean drains and traps?
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! 😂❤
Or you can just take the drain apart and rinse it. 🙄
Except when you can’t… diy plumbing they glued the whole trap together. Would have tried covering the drain with the mix or a plunger if I had saw this. Instead cost me $300 for drain tech to cut out the pipes clean then replace with proper disconnectable parts.

Smart!! I have little "spice" containers but this sounds more space saving!!!
Yes, quite a good idea! Thanks!
Love this idea! 🤩
Wonderful ideas
Why didn’t I think of these? So logical and smart❤
Thanks for sharing!
Puck lights for lamps is genius! Lots of good ideas here - thank you!
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.

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!
late to the party. I've seen people use a bobby pin to clip on the bracelet and hold with your hand until the clasp is connected.
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!
Empty 2 liter bottles works well too 😊
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.
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
Bracelet hack is brilliant and so simple. I feel stupid for not thinking of it. Well done.
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

I agree. I would just split it but not remove any. Would that work?
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 liked the table lamp hack! All great! Thank you! 😊

Thank you, really like the pantyhose and empty wrapping paper idea to prevent door drafts.
OMG! I love the bracelet hack! I always have trouble putting on my bracelets. Great hacks!

If you have sèptic instead of sewer system, you need to be careful with vinegar. It kills the stuff that breaks down solids
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.
Picture please!!
Aww, sweetie, I hope you get well soon!!! Great video too!
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.

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

I love your dollar tree hacks videos. Please make more!
Gosh - these were great. So logical but most so overlooked (by me.) Thank you Kallie!
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!
This is such an excellent and more importantly, useful video!! Thank-you!
I love all of these hacks. Good job 👍🏼
Love all of these tips…thank you! 😁
Wow thank you, these were great hacks!!
Good portable lamp idea❤
Kallie, these are amazing hacks. Thank you so much
Incredible hacks thanks dear… wishing you a blessed weekend ❤️
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.
Loved these! Thank you so much!
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.
The pillbox earring container... Love this 💕
I love the bathroom cleaning hack with the scrubber. I will be using that. Thank you ❤
Thanks for these great ideas.
Hey Kallie. Great hacks. Totally useful. THX. Appreciate you.😊❤
Hi Kallie! Good hacks, really happy that your personality & delivery hasn’t gotten all “yootoobee” like so many others have. You’re the cutest ❤

Would coconut oil also work? A friend says it is good for after wash before diapering.
The best video you have done in a year! Thanks.
Thank you these are great hacks!!
Very helpful! love this thank you
I love your hacks they make life easier. Thanks for sharing your ideals. ❤❤
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 👍
lol, I’ve never commented on an YT ad, but seeing Kristin Wiig SNL Target ad cracked me up!
Wow! Loved ALL of these hacks! Thank you so much!!🩷
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
The bandaid thing is great. It always takes skin with it from my arms. I will use this. Thanks
I use vinegar and baking soda together all the time. It's one of my favorite go-to things!
GIRL, I loved every single hack idea 👏👏 I will be trying every single one! Hope you have an amazing weekend! Kim
Thank you Kallie, every time I watch you I learn something. Very useful 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.
Ooh! That is a great idea! I am going use that for my son's bath toys! He's seven.

Love the tissue paper and candle. Just got a new printer and will be trying this very soon.
Great sharing. 👍
Love your videos!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Yes I have a pill box just like that and I use it for my little earrings

Great ideas and tips 🥰 thank you for sharing!
Use empty water bottles to fill big planters too
I do that and just repotted some plants into larger pots!
I use crumbled up newspapers from recycle center after season you can use in compost
Love the candle trick!!!
You could use grocery bags for the moss thing as well
Really love ALL your ideas!!

Excellent tips. Thanks
Loved the hacks, I think 8 million toys was a slight exaggeration. My son and I had a good laugh.
Love these videos, I always use at least one of your ideas. Thank you
ANother great video! Sounds like you're fighting off a cold. Hope you're feeling better!
You’re genuinely great
