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.

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.

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.

@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 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 Жыл бұрын

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.

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.

I have a tip for hanging sweaters to avoid getting little bumps on the shoulders. Just flip the sleeves up over the shoulders. It's usually the weight of the sleeves that makes those little bumps. Of course, if you can afford the fancy padded hangers then you won't have that problem ..lol.

Love me ceiling fans! They keep the air moving and reduce ac uses. Pretty cool ideas in the video. Thanks for sharing

I found a scratch on our costly Amish dining table 😢 and tried this walnut trick 😄. It didn’t remove the scratch but made it less noticeable. I have to look for the scratch now. THANK YOU LIZ❣️💕👍🏻💕💕

Most “hacks” I see on these videos, but yours are actually things I can use! So realistic and handy. Your narration is excellent too. Thanks!

I agree with you, sheffi100.. . these hacks are ones that I can see working. Near 100 % of them. Many other people's hacks that I've seen being done on videos, and that I hear about without a video, I just can't believe nor imagine as working. Usually then , if I give those ones a try, they fail, unsurprisingly.

If you use a mallet to put your paint can back on, it won't flatten out the lid and will come off nice and easy. :). Love the walnut hack, it actually works. I was astounded.

Thank you so much Liz!!! Really GREAT hacks! I can't wait to implement them myself. The one on sealing the loaf of bread, one of my aunts had shown me about 40 years ago!! Good to see it out there! Just love your creativity. Keep up the great work!

The oil in the nut is coloring the scratch. It is not removing the scratch. This works with all wood. If you have blond wood try an almond darker wood use a pecan.

That walnut hack is awesome. I think it works because of the oil in the walnut and walnut stain is made from the shells. Boil them in water till you get the desired color. I've put rocks or gravel in the bottom of my plant pots. It works really well. I love this video so much that I've saved it. I'm planning on moving onto my son's property sometime this year. It will be brand new, so I am starting mosy from scratch. I'm saving piece that I like and am going to use in my new place. Thank you so much for all of these hack ideas.

I haven’t seen a more useful hack video until now! A lot of the hack videos are kinda lame and are not practical nor do they really work. This video is so cool and filled with useful stuff!!

Oh my goodness! I've only seen the first hack, but it's exactly what I needed to use with a floor lamp that I've been running the cord under a rug to plug in. I didn't know these things existed! Thank you!

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!

definitely a fan of ceiling fans, especially in the bedrooms. Having a breeze is a must on summer nights, and unless it's super-humid, I don't even need to turn on the AC.

Me too! My hallway is so dark and the only thing I can do is turn on a very bright overhead light, which I hate bc the light goes under the door where there is a day sleeper, so I always have to put a towel down to block the space under the door-so ugly!

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.

For the floral arrangement, I use some foam the dish under the tape. This gives extra stability and keeps the flowers and greenery a little more secure.
