Life's full of surprises. Some more pleasant than others. And if some of those twists and turns leave you feeling stumped, we've got some life hacks to make life a little less difficult and a lot simpler. Kneading dough is some serious business. And it'd be easier without all this hair. Oh, I can't touch my hair with these. Uh oh, here comes Kevin with the vacuum. Kevin, a little help here? Me? Just a ponytail. Mind if I use a little help? If you don't know how to make a ponytail, a little air-sucking action can go a long way. Gather up the hair. And when you get to the right spot, simply roll that elastic right off. Nice. Looks pretty good, right? You're the best, Kev. Sure. Can I snag one? Three hours till it's ready, Kevin. May as well clean while you wait. Phew. What a game. It was a well-deserved win for sure. Huh? What is that? I should take bubble baths more often. Lily and her baths. I'll come back and shower later. It may be a while. Whoa! That was scary. Now I remember why I don't like baths. Kevin? What's all this stuff doing here? Think he'd mind if I borrowed this? Place double-sided tape on the back of the neck pillow. Peel off the backing. Stick it on the side of the tub where your head goes. Then sit back and enjoy yourself. No one's drowning in here today. Okay, last box, done. Phew, moving's rough. The fun doesn't stop. The furniture's not coming for two days? Great. Luckily, I have my blow-up mattress. Where's the air pump? I could have sworn I packed it. You think you can blow up the whole thing, Kevin? Whoa, is it getting hot in here or what? I'd better take a break. Wait a second. Maybe I can fashion my own pump. For this, you'll need an empty plastic bottle. Cut off the top and put it on the end of a blow dryer. I'm armed and ready, folks. Put your makeshift pump to the mattress's nozzle, turn it on, and watch the air do its magic. Whoa, it's like watching bread rise in the oven. Done. This thing's pretty comfortable. I may not even need my real bed. Or my real air pump for that matter. Snacks and movies are a match made in heaven. You can't have one without the other. We're out of chips already? I wish we had an endless supply of snacks. That would be awesome. A salty chip followed by sweet vanilla frosting. And soda, of course. Who's going to the kitchen for a refill? Rock, paper, scissors. Aw, man. I sure am hungry. I hope I can carry all this stuff. Now for the cake. Maybe if I rearrange. I'll put the soda here. And the chips under this arm. Come on! Kevin! Kevin! Hilarious. I'll try this one more time. Okay. So far so good. Now cake me. That's it, I give up. There's got to be another way. I know. Take a plastic cover and cut a hole in the middle of it. Remember your 2-liter soda bottle? Use it to hold the upside-down plastic lid. Now you can pour your snacks right into it. It's like your very own portable snack bowl. Great for chips, crackers, or whatever. Isn't it beautiful? Soda, anyone? Just stick in some straws. This is going to be one epic snack session. Don't forget the cake. Am I a genius or what? Whoa, check out all this grub. Did you think of this all yourself, Lily? Yeah. It's really no big deal. Die, zombies, die! No, don't grab the... Seriously? I knew I should have charged it last night. Is my charger around here? Did I leave it over here? Not so fast. The epic battle of the charging cable is on. Gimme, I saw it first. This is getting ugly. Oh! What a mess. You think Mom saw that? We dodged that bullet. Lily! Looking for this? Who am I gonna get this with? Look at all this dirt everywhere. I'll just get it into one big pile, I guess. Lily forgot to get me the dustpan. What do I do with this now? What about these old quizzes? May as well put them to good use, right? Start by wetting the edges of a piece of paper. Make sure it's good and wet. Place the wet paper on the floor and use your finger to stick it to the wood. And just like that, the dirt should slide right on. Back in the flower pot you go. Now things are looking back to normal. Phew, that was a close call. Found it. But it looks like you didn't need it. Good, she didn't see a thing. Let's get out while we can. While you may only use one dish at a time, over the course of an entire day, they can really pile up. Hey, people have got to eat, right? What's with all the dirty dishes? And now I'm stuck cleaning all of them. First batch coming in. One down, about a thousand to go. There. You've got to be kidding me. Ew, what is all that gunk? Feels like sandpaper. Hey Lily, check out this mayo action. Whoa, Lily's in crazy cleaning mode again. Maybe I can get this off myself. You can use mayo for cleaning, right? Squeeze out the condiment onto the counter stains. Then, using a towel, wipe the spots all up. Hey, they're totally disappearing. A little elbow grease goes a long way. Wow, it worked. Just call me the cleaning queen. Which of these hacks do you want to try first? Share your new knowledge with your friends and share this video on their page.
