3 Simple Life Hacks

Contributed by: The Hive Team

Sometimes life is hard but we found 3 simple life hacks to, just perhaps, make things a tad bit easier. Take a look below!

Life Hack #1 - Chip Clip

Items needed:

• Plastic pant hangers

• Heavy duty clipper or scissors

How to:

• Take a plastic pant hanger and your heavy clippers and snip as close to the clip end of the hanger.

• Smooth the cut section of the clip with some sandpaper if needed.

• Use the clip on a variety of bags!

Free, easy and a great way to reuse, recycle, repurpose!

Life Hack #2 - Nail Holder

Items Needed:

• Clothes Pin

• Nails

• Hammer

How to:

• Take a nail and pinch it in a clothes pin to hold it.

• Place the nail/clothes pin where you want it on the wall.

• Use your hammer to tap the nail into the wall while the clothes pin holds the nail in place.

• Simply release the nail from the clothes pin from the nail once securely in the wall.

Saves your fingers from getting hit with the hammer and so much easier to hold the nail steady. This is a winner!

Life Hack #3 - Wine Chiller

Items Needed:

• Bottle of White Wine (or any bottle you want to chill quickly)

• Plastic Wrap (optional)

• Damp Paper Towels

• Freezer

How to:

• Take your bottle and place a strip of plastic wrap around the label area (if you want to protect it from getting wet).

• Get 3-4 paper towels saturated with cold water and wring out some of the water but leave very damp.

• Wrap the wet paper towels around the bottle.

• Place the wrapped bottle in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes.

• Remove the bottle from the freezer and take off the paper towels (and plastic wrap).

• Enjoy your chilled beverage!

This is great if you have unexpected company or forgot to put a bottle in the fridge for dinner or to take to a party. Simple and quick chilling solution!
