Life Hacks That Actually Work

Grilled Watermelon? Yes, Please

There's a lot that you can do with a juicy watermelon! This is a hack that any vegetarian would love. This only works if you have access to a grill, and make sure it's hot enough! Place the watermelon slices on the hot grill and let it sit for a few minutes. The heat changes the texture of the watermelon and makes it into a sweet, smokey dish. Try it out!

The More You Know

  • During pollen season, rinse your hair before bed. Otherwise you’re just depositing pollen on your pillowcase every night and then rolling your face in it all night.
  • Pour pure aloe vera juice (available at most drugstores) into an ice tray, and then freeze it for an always ready-to-apply salve for sunburns.
  • To make it easy to stow and reuse plastic bags, make a dispenser from a discarded 2-liter soda bottle. Cut off the top and bottom with a razor knife. Then screw the dispenser to a cabinet door or closet wall (or attach with hook-and-loop tape).
  • The stickiness of duct tape makes it perfect for a makeshift pet hair remover and this method is faster than vacuuming. It also works on seats in vehicles. A sponge or cloth wrapped with duct tape works great for getting into corners. Wrap duct tape around a paint roller cover, sticky side out.
