NEW ** HOME HACKS || BEST PRACTICES || 2022

Hi guys and welcome back to my channel. If you are new, welcome. My name is Hannah. And in today's video, we are doing another home hack video. So if this is something you're interested in watching, just keep on watching. But if you haven't yet already, please be sure to like, comment, and subscribe. You know to hit that bell button for every time I upload a video. And if you're not already following me on Instagram, I would love to have you over at Hannah Naylor. Without further ado, let's get into this video. So first big announcement before getting into this video is I have decided to eliminate Mom With Muscle from my channel. I did take a poll a few weeks ago on whether you guys think I should keep the name or not. I started my channel about three years ago and back then, the name Mom With Muscle definitely pertained to the content that I was creating. Fast forward to today and now it's not very relevant to what I am doing on my channel and my niche has completely changed. So I feel that it is time to eliminate the Mom With Muscle so that way it makes a little bit more sense here on my channel. So now I am just Hannah Naylor and I'm really excited to kind of start this new chapter and hopefully many things will happen with that. But I just wanna thank all of you guys who have stuck with me from the beginning until now. But I have created so many of these home hack videos. I'm constantly jotting down things in my phone that I do in my house or things that I come across that are little hacks that we all can take something away from. So I have composed a very short list. These items are completely random. There are no rhyme or reason of why they're in this video. They are totally random, but I am really excited to share another home hack video with you. Be sure to give this video a huge thumbs up if you enjoy them. Otherwise, leave me your hacks down below. Maybe I will create a video on all of your guys' suggestions. Without further ado, let's get into this video. First hack on this list. You are going to need a squirt bottle and yellow and green food coloring. Now, I have many pots in my home that have moss on the top of them. For example, you guys will see in my B-roll that I have an orchid in my bedroom and the moss tends to get discolored. So what you're going to do is you're going to take a squirt bottle and you're going to do green and yellow food coloring. You're going to do two times more yellow than you are green. Add just a little bit of water and then give your moss just a good old spritz with this now green food coloring on top of your moss and it's going to just keep your moss looking nice and fresh and green. So if you have moss that's maybe discoloring, maybe it's getting a little bit more brown, use the food coloring hack to just give it a good old fresh color. So that's the first hack on my list. The next hack, you're going to need a toothbrush holder. Now, this has quickly become a very important hack here in my home just because I have a ton of stems and I have a lot of vases and pots here in my home. All you're going to do is just stick your stems within these little dividers in a toothbrush holder. I picked mine up from Target. You can also go to the dollar store and pick one up very cheap. And this is quickly going to become your best friend because it's going to keep all of your stems contained. You just arrange your arrangement essentially in this little toothbrush holder and then stick it in your pot or vase and there you have it, a very contained and beautiful arrangement that's going to stay balanced with this little toothbrush holder. So that is the next little hack on my list. So the next hack I don't have a B roll for, but coasters and how you can make your own coasters using very simple items. So my first example is these are actually the lids from the Bath & Body Works candles. So you can see that it's got the little rubber ring there on the inside. So these are actually the lids that go on Bath & Body Works candles. I've used these for many years as coasters because it is actually a faux marble top there. So super simple, you're getting the candle and you're getting a beautiful lid that acts as a coaster. But you can also head to a tile store and pick up some tile samples. And that is going to be such a simple way to create different coasters. You can get squared ones, round ones. Again, just go to a simple tile store, even Home Depot and grab a sample. And there you have it, some really fun and easy DIY coasters. Or if you are a Bath & Body Works candle person, I'm not so much anymore. Like I said, I have had these for years. But I just took these off the tops of my candles and now they have become a very go-to coaster here in my home. So that is the next hack on my list. In my last hack video, I went over different folding techniques when I used to work for Lululemon. And I forgot to one, show you guys how to fold a sweatshirt. I showed you how to hang a sweatshirt, but I didn't technically get to show you how to fold a sweatshirt. So in my B-roll, you guys will see me folding a sweatshirt. And then the other B-roll I'm going to show you is how I fold my tank tops. These are tank tops that I use at the gym, but you can also apply this to just normal everyday wearing tank tops. When I worked for Lululemon, I became very educated in best practices for folding clothing. And so I have not only implemented those when I used to work for the company, but I have now had it transition into my everyday life and how I fold and hang my clothing. So I thought this is a really important hack for you guys. If you are one that wears a lot of tank tops, if you have a lot of sweatshirts that don't hang them, this is going to be the perfect fold for you that's going to lay nice and flat if you store them within a cabinet. For the folding of the tank tops, I store mine in a dresser. So I just have them rolled up and nice and neat for me to see what colors I have and whatnot. So that is the next little hack on this. All right, the next item is frozen food bags. Now, I think a lot of people make the mistake of when you have a frozen food bag, you just go straight across the top and cut it. And that is the worst thing you can do because then you're having to roll it and you have all these like half open bags, stuff's possibly coming out of them. So a simple thing to eliminate that problem is instead of cutting it halfway across the top, you're going to create a V shape. The point of this is that it's going to allow for two different holds to then tie it in the center. This has been a game changer because not always do I use clips in my freezer. So this is my best practice for storing frozen bags that are half open. Again, instead of cutting halfway across the top, you're just going to create a V when you cut down and give it a good old tie. So that's the next hack on this list. We all have had that issue where our shoes are wet and so we pop them in the dryer and then all you're hearing is just like, for a few hours, it's annoying. Did you know you're doing it wrong? So instead of throwing your actual shoe in the dryer, you're going to actually hang the laces over the door and close the door on the laces, tie them at the top. And then that way, when the dryer is on, they're getting the heat, but they're actually not going around in the cycle. Game changing for those of you who know exactly what I'm talking about. That is super annoying sound when you have your shoes in the dryer. If you're trying to get them all dry, you've been doing it wrong this entire time. All you're going to do again is just throw them over the lid, close the laces on themselves, turn on the dryer, and there you have it in a very quiet cycle for drying your shoes. Have you ever bought an item like a picture frame and there is a price sticker, price tag right on the front of that glass? I know I'm not the only one and I cringe every time I go to HomeGoods or TJ Maxx to buy an item and that is where they stick the sticker. I'd like to talk to the manager about that because I don't see why that is necessary. You could easily put it on the back, but that's besides the point. I'm going to show you guys how you can remove those stickers in a very clean and simple way. All you're going to do is take a blow dryer and the sticker itself. Give that sticker a good blow dry until you can heat up the adhesive that the sticker has on it. And you should be able to pull that sticker right off with a clean and no residue application. Now, another way that you can do it, which I don't show in my B-rolls is you can actually soak the sticker with Windex. So you'll just spray the Windex on the sticker, let it soak for a few minutes and then it should be able to come off really easily as well or you also have Goo Gone as well. But the blow dry was a recent kind of hack that I came across when it comes to removing those pesky stickers. So yeah, that is the next item on this list. The last and final hack is this new product that I recently just came across on Amazon. And I have to say, this is a game changer. This is going to be a game changer for anybody that has ugly outlets, that has maybe a lamp that is plugged in behind a sideboard and you can't push it up against the wall or you have a lamp that is on a dresser and again, you can't push it all the way up against the wall. This item is called the Sleek Socket Ultra Thin Outlet Concealer. So it is priced at 23.95. I got a three foot, but it also comes in a eight foot as well and a dual side. There's actually a bunch of different options from a TV mount single, a TV mount dual. So there's a bunch of different options ranging in different prices on Amazon. But essentially what this thing is, is it's a concealer. I have the example in my bar pass through. My coffee maker, my Keurig has this super bulbous plug that just sticks out, it protrudes out and it's so annoying because where I want my coffee maker is not where the outlet is. So we got this concealer to then be able to run the cord so that way I can have my coffee maker pushed in the corner and it looks so much better. One, the cord on the coffee maker is black. This is now in white. So it just kind of cleans everything up and makes it look a lot better. But this is going to be super beneficial for someone that maybe has a lamp, maybe a diffuser, something that you have to plug into the wall against maybe a dresser or a sideboard. You can't push the dresser all the way against the wall because then you have the plugs that are sticking out that kind of eliminate you being able to do that. So this is going to take care of that issue. It comes with stickers so that way you can run the cord downwards and maybe along your baseboards for a really clean application. But this has been a huge game changer and a really great find on Amazon. So I will have that link down below. But yeah, that is it. And that's the last hack on this. All right, you guys, and that is it for today's video. I hope you guys enjoyed, I think part four of my home hack. Sound off in the comments if any of these that you have heard today are new to you. I would love to hear your guys' feedback. But other than that, I love you so much. Thank you for being here and we'll see you guys in my next video. Peace.
