Only 2% of the people in the world have an IQ high enough to be a MENSA member, but even they probably don\u2019t know all of the hacks we\u2019ve collected for you in this handy list.\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve been struggling with a pesky little zipper that just doesn\u2019t want to work and keeps sending you running into somebody who can fix it \u2014 struggle no more. Use some simple soap to \u201cbutter it up\u201d (butter would work too, but it stains and comes off easily). You can also try a bit of hair gel for the same purpose.\n\n\n\n

Nothing is better on a hot summer day or for a quick cocktail than lemonade cubes. What are those you ask? They are magic and this is how you make them:\n\n\n\n
Take fresh lemon juice;
Sugar to your taste;
Make the mixture strong, since it\u2019s going to be diluted with water;
Cut the lemon wedges into small pieces;
Freeze the mixture with wedges in an ice cube tray.
Now every time you want a refreshing drink \u2014 grab a couple of cubes from the freezer, dunk them in water and have a delicious homemade lemonade.\n\n\n\n
Markers have a tendency to stop working, like many things, when you need them the most. But no worries, if you have a deodorant, that is gas or alcohol-based, spray it inside the marker and give it a new life at least for a little while.\n\n\n\n
As much as Velcro gets to be used in fashion it is usually overlooked as a homeowner\u2019s little helper. With double-sided Velcro you can make any surface into storage of sorts. And if you are into sewing your own clothing \u2014 make it a \u201cpincushion\u201d \u2014 just take a piece of Velcro and put your needle through its little loops. It will not only secure them in one place but also potentially prevent somebody from stepping on a loose needle.\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
All of us have been in this situation once or twice \u2014 our phone battery is on its last breath and we have to make a crucial call to our job or a loved one. So to keep what\u2019s left of the energy of your phone until that time \u2014 simply put the phone on airplane mode. This will cut all connections to the internet or GPS and even the processes that run automatically and usually take up a lot of your device\u2019s energy. This tip will save you for sure.\n\n\n\n
Do you get confused with all the gift cards, rewards cards, and whatnot cards at the counter? This is easily solved. Take a hole punch and punch through all the cards that you use regularly (make sure you don\u2019t ruin the magnetic strip or chip in the process) and put them all on one key ring. Add a ribbon and now you have a very manageable card collection you can take anywhere.\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
This handy tool we use almost every day can help us with this problem. We\u2019ve all struggled to take a sticker off of something that was brand new. The hair dryer provides a gentle heat to melt the production glue, which is the main problem. So you can heat up the sticker, remove it gently, and then take off the residue with a wet napkin or a wipe.\n\n\n\n
This simple trick will give you delicious corn on\u00a0the\u00a0cob in\u00a0minutes.\n\n\n\n
If\u00a0you\u2019d like to\u00a0add some more \u201coomph\u201d to\u00a0it, smear butter on\u00a0the corn before wrapping\u00a0it.\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
If\u00a0a\u00a0screw is\u00a0\u201cworn down\u201d and you need to\u00a0take it\u00a0out\u00a0\u2014 put a\u00a0rubber band between it\u00a0and the screwdriver to\u00a0get a\u00a0better grip.\n\n\n\n

If you do your manicures at home, you know that nail polish spillage is hard to clean up. Hard, but not impossible.\n\n\n\n
Brown sugar is amazing for brownies, cookies, and even BBQ sauce recipes. But if you\u2019ve ever had it in your pantry, you know it gets dry and hard pretty fast. To avoid this you can simply put a piece of bread, a slice of an apple, or a couple of marshmallows in the container you keep your brown sugar in.\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Kitchen lovers love to print cute little labels for the tops of mason jars, but what if we suggest that the side of the jar would be a better place? You see, lids can be easily switched up and you don\u2019t want any salt in your coffee, do you? So, in a hurry, it would make perfect sense to look for the jar without the danger of somebody (or yourself) playing a cruel prank on you.\n\n\n\n
