When you are on a vacation and everything looks gorgeous, you would want to take a beautiful picture with your expensive camera, but then the flash ruins it somehow! Let’s face it, brightly lit pictures are not cute, same as the underexposed photos. So, is buying expensive camera equipment worth it?

If they are not, we will make them worth it by using the coffee filter as a flash diffuser. We end up grabbing our morning coffee from Starbucks anyway, right?

I may have been a lazy student in chemistry class so I didn’t know what the salt can actually be useful for, but it turned out to be a real friend when it comes to fixing the clog in our drains. Simply, take half a cup of salt and mix it with warm water, then pour it down the drain. You can toss the salt first then the water. Both hacks will do the trick perfectly.

My mother taught me how to use one big plastic bag as a container that holds the rest of plastic bags. I always thought it was a smart idea until I discovered this hack. This one doesn’t only work perfectly, but it is also beautiful to look at.

Personally, I love buying tissue boxes that look cute and colorful, and now that I can add plastic bags inside them, I will no longer have the need to throw them away. Plus, there will be no more plastic bags hidden inside one other big plastic bag.

I came across this weird hack one day as I was watching some Beauty Gurus on YouTube. One beautiful lady used a condom as a beauty blender, and it turned out to be a success. I personally never tried it, but I thought that this hack needs to be more popular.

However, I don’t know what it could do to our skin, but technically the condom goes to more sensitive areas in the body, so I think we will be okay. After all, I am sure they would be cleaner than the beauty blender we actually use because we rarely clean them.

Okay, I am very excited about this hack because I am obsessed with hanging a lot of art pieces and weird things in my walls, so I feel like this one will actually make me extremely happy. There are a lot of wonderful things that deserve to be hung and seen by all guests and pets who visit us, and with soda tabs, we can technically do it for free. Are you guys as excited as me?

To all my friends with a colorful hair out there, I know sometimes we want to go crazy with our dyes but then we end up with some weird green-ish hairs. So this hack technically says that red color is the opposite of green, which means it could easily neutralize it.

Of course, the hair might smell weird and disgusting afterward, but why not try it? Again, it is free, minus the ketchup price!

My mind is surely blown after all these hacks, and I am sure yours, too. Let us know in the comments below which hacks did you find interesting, and please share with us the hacks that worked for you. I would love to know them all!
