Now that things are truly heating up, anyway that we can save a few minutes of our day and conserve that energy is much appreciated. Luckily for us, TikTokers have provided us with some super creative summer life hacks to make life that little bit easier for us.
Blowing Up a Pool With a Hairdryer
Blowing up a paddling pool has to be one of the most exhausting things about summer. You have to spend hours huffing and puffing, to the point where you don’t even want to go in the pool anymore. Why have we never thought about simply putting the hairdryer on the cool setting and blowing up the pool with that?
Well this TikToker did and it actually works! Just make sure that the pool is completely dry before blowing it up first.
Capri Sun Popsicles
We all love a Capri Sun to quench our thirst in the summer but have you ever wanted it to be a little bit cooler?
This hack shows how easy it is to freeze Capri Suns into popsicles, making them the perfect ice lollies. All you need to do is put a wooden stick into the Capri Sun and allow them to freeze!
Ice Water Bottle
Hot water bottles don’t just make us warm, they can also make us cool too. It seems logical when we think about it, if we fill the water bottle up with water and freeze it, it will act as one huge ice cube!
Flossing Watermelon
Cutting watermelon can be a little time consuming and slippery but with a bit of dental floss we can save so much time. This is such a great hack when making fruit salads and means that you don’t have to cut through the tough skin part.
Upgrade That Fan
Ever wished that a fan could cool you down even more. Have you put it on the highest setting and still not thought it was good enough? Well, it turns out that all you need is a bowl of ice! Place it in front of your fan and ice cold air will blow at you (although it will eventually melt!)
Hayfever Relief
Suffer from hayfever? If you sneeze every time somebody mows the lawn, or your eyes start watering every time you go outside, then this is the hack for you. Putting Vaseline around the base of your nose can help prevent the pollen from entering it and therefore make your hayfever more bearable.
An Organised Suitcase
Ever opened your suitcase up on holiday and found all of your ironed clothes now creased and jumbled up? This packing cube hack keeps everything neatly folded and organised so that your clothes are easily accessible and ready to wear when you arrive on your holiday! Perfect!
