Genius Life Hacks That Make Life So Much Easier

Never Spill While Boiling Water Again

If you spend enough time in the kitchen, you will end up familiarizing yourself with cooking on the stovetop. Stovetop cooking can be a great way to throw together a quick meal. Unfortunately, if you get distracted while boiling your water you can end up with a mess on your hands!

To limit your exposure to messy spills from water boiling over, get in the habit of keeping a wooden spoon handy! When you step away from your boiling water, merely lay the spoon across the top of the pot. The spoon will prevent the water from overflowing while you work on other parts of your meal!

Say Goodbye to Cable Clutter with This Simple Binder Clip Hack

This hack is perfect for those who like to find simple solutions to everyday problems, rather than those who like fancy gadgets. I think it's great because it's easy to make, looks good, and keeps your cables tidy.
It was created by David Rudolf Bakker from the Netherlands, and you can easily make it yourself with a few items from your junk drawer. Just grab some binder clips, clamp them onto the edge of your desk, and thread your cables through the loops. This will prevent your cables from slipping down the back of your desk and keep them ready to be used with your notebook. Plus, the loops are big enough to prevent the cables from getting caught as you pull them through.

Bring Your Old Sneakers Back to Life with Toothpaste

All you need is an old toothbrush and a little toothpaste to get your old sneakers looking like new! Non-gel white toothpaste works great for cleaning white-soled sneakers (colored toothpaste may stain rather than clean sneakers). Apply toothpaste to an old toothbrush and then work the paste into the dirty spots. Leave the toothpaste on the shoes for about ten minutes, and then wipe it off with a damp towel. Repeat the process if necessary.
Important: The ingredients in toothpaste may vary from brand to brand, so make sure to try this method on a small unnoticeable spot on your sneakers before applying it to the rest of the shoe.

Never Lose Your Cash Again with This Clever Lip Balm Container Hack

Going to the beach and worried about your money being stolen? Here's a simple trick. Take an empty lip balm container and remove the inside part that twists up the balm. Then, roll up your money into a small cylinder shape that fits inside the container, making sure that the money sticks up enough to easily grab it.
Depending on the size of your money and the lip balm container, you might need to fold the money in half before rolling it up. Just remember not to use the lip balm container for its original purpose, as it may have cash residue on it which doesn't protect your lips from the sun!
