Hi guys. Welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you some
brand new life hacks. And if you've followed me for a while, you will know that I am obsessed
with finding hacks to make life a little bit easier. And recently I've also become obsessed
with TikTok. So today's video, I'm combining the two. I'm doing hacks that I have found
on TikTok. So I hope you really enjoy this video. If you're new to my channel, I would
also love you to consider subscribing. All you have to do is click the little red subscribe
button below and let's get into it. So the first one that I wanted to show you today
is the hack that has inspired this entire video and you may have even seen it because
it went so viral. Basically, a woman shared on TikTok how she stores her cereal boxes
and everyone's going crazy for it. So all you do, is you take the cereal box,
fold down three of the flaps. So the two on the side and one other as well. Then you kind
of pinch the sides in like this, and it does kind of want to do that. And then with the
last remaining flap, you tuck it in to the furthest fold like so and then it looks like
this. And that is basically the hack. I've seen some really cool photos of people
lining up all of their boxes, but I don't know, let me know what you think about this
one. I normally store my cereal like this in Tupperware. I just decant a box into this
and it keeps it really nice and fresh. And I just pick this up in Ikea. And I've tried
this a few times now and it can be quite fiddly to do. And I also think you might still need
a clip on the bag inside to make sure that it's fresh. So it does look cool, but I'm
just not 100% sure. So let me know what you think in the comments. Another food hack that
I saw on TikTok that I thought it was so simple and one that I could actually really use is
to do with pizza. So if I'm making our family pizzas, I cannot get both of the pizzas on
the same tray in the oven. I saw a hack on TikTok of how to do that. And it's so simple.
I'm really hoping that it works. So all you have to do is take your pizza,
cut it in half. And then you can just pop it in the oven like this. That is a good one.
For the next hack, I have dampened my hair a little bit because I'm going to be trying
to do heatless curls using a bathrobe rope. Now, the girls who just on TikTok, look incredible.
Their curls are just beautiful in the morning. So if you do shower, you want to wait till
your hair is 80% dry before you do this. But for me, I've literally just put some water
through it and tried to brush it through it. So I'm going to try this out. I will just
say before I even try this, that my hair is very thin and it doesn't love curling. So
if it works on my hair, I reckon it will work on anyone's hair.
But yeah, you basically take the bathrobe rope and put it over your head like this.
And then you start wrapping your hair around it going away from your face, with the front
pieces. And then you wrap the back of your hair the opposite way, and then tie it and
sleep in it like that. So I'm going to try and wrap this around. This is the first time
I've ever done it. So you want to take the front bits and wrap
them around. So now all I have to do is go to sleep like this. And then when I wake up
in the morning and take it out, I will show you the results. So it is the next day. I
don't know if you can tell, but I have slept on this. It was actually quite comfortable
to sleep on, way more comfortable than if I've ever had pin curls put in. So that was
a plus, so I'm hoping it works, but now I'm going to take this out. It's really curly.
You said you wanted [inaudible 00:04:34] guys. [inaudible 00:04:38].
Wow. That works so well. So guys, it really worked. It almost worked
too much. I'm hoping this drops a little bit and if I did it again, I probably wouldn't
do it with wet hair because they said the wetter the hair, the more tighter the curl.
And I also did individual bits around. So I think I would actually just do an entire
section round. And I don't know if you'd have to sleep in it. You could probably just put
it in for a couple of hours and get a curl. So it 100% works, but I definitely need to
perfect it. So the next TikTok hack that we're going to try, I need my two little helpers
for. And they're really excited about this one, because this is a hack so that you land
every single bottle flip. Apparently, if you add some salt to the water in your bottle,
it will flip and land every single time. So we're going to test it out today. So the first
thing we need to do is pour out a little bit of the water, well, probably half. So first
let's try it without the salt. Try and do a bottle flip.
I did it.
Well done. [inaudible 00:05:47]. Okay. So let's add the salt and see. Then let's give
a good shake. [inaudible 00:05:57] a teaspoon, tablespoon. And then shake it so it dissolves.
Lets have a go.
Oh my God. Did it work? Let's see. Oh my gosh.
I have landed it.
You've got to dissolve it.
I did six in a row.
Oh my gosh. Oh, it didn't work for me. Okay. So what do you think? Seven out of 10?
Seven out of 10.
It kind of works but not every single time.
Seven out of 10.
Like this.
The next hack we're going to try is this bubble towel thing that has completely gone viral
on TikTok. So you basically get a towel, then you add some soap and a little bit of water
and then you blow through and it creates this bubble snake thing. So we're going to see
if it works. A little bit of soap, just like that. A little bit of soap for you.
Water.
A little bit of water. So do you want to just rub it on with your hands? That's what they
seem to do-
[inaudible 00:07:14].
Okay, Bobby. And then we really rub it in. I think I hold it almost tight to your ... it's
starting to come out. It is working. Oh my gosh. I'm going to try on a bigger towel as
well. So I'm rubbing it into the towel. Are you ready?
Oh my gosh. It worked so well.
Is it like a big snake?
It's like a dinosaur.
It's not a life hack. It's just cool for the kids. So this next hack that I saw in TikTok
looks like an amazing way to make an egg sandwich. I'm really hoping this works because I think
all the boys and Matt would love it if it does. So first off, I'm just going to put
a little bit of oil into the pan. Then I have beaten up two eggs and then you basically
want to put it into the pan and then I'll show you the rest. So I've now flipped it.
And then you can add in cheese or people were adding in bacon or ham. So I'm just putting
in a little bit of cheese. You can also add in sauce if you wanted to. And then the idea
is you fold in the egg from the side. And then put it all together and it looks very
cool. So this hack, I really do rate. This sandwich
looks amazing with the cheese and the egg and it's also a French toast. So I think this
is going to become a thing that I make. Oh, God, it's so good.
So this next hack is a food hack and the boys are super excited to try it because we saw
on TikTok that if you crush up three Oreos and add a little bit of milk and then put
it into the microwave for about 30 seconds, it creates an Oreo cake. So we don't know
how that's even possible, but we're going to test it out today. So we have three Oreos,
they did it in a mug. So we're going to try it in a mug and also in a little bowl. So
first thing we just need to crush up our three Oreos.
Oh, that's a good idea. [inaudible 00:10:01] spoon instead. We add a little bit of milk.
And you want to try and make it like a paste like that. So we've got it to the consistency
of a paste. We didn't actually know exactly how much milk to add in, so I'm hoping we've
added in the right amount, but now we're going to pop it in for 30 seconds and see what happens.
I'm putting it in for another 30 seconds because it's a little bit wet still. Oh my gosh, boys.
It is literally like a mud cake. Look at that. How is that possible? So the moment of truth.
let's try this mud cake.
Not mud.
What do you think?
Good.
Good?
Let me try.
Maybe with ice cream? It is like a cake. So this Oreo hack does actually work. It creates
a mud cake in your microwave. For us though. We did have to microwave it for about a minute
for it to work. And I think it could be quite nice with some vanilla ice cream. Personally
though for my kids, they didn't like the look of it. I think they would still rather eat
normal Oreos. But it is quite cool that you can whip up a dessert like this in about a
minute. The next hack I'm going to share with you
is how to make a DIY mask at home using just a sock and a pair of scissors. So all you
have to do is first of all, cut off the top of your sock like this. Then when you have
this top bit, you will want to do a cut down on one of the sides to make it bigger like
this, then you'll want to fold it like that. So when it's a rectangle, fold it like that
and make two little slits here. And these are going to be the slips that you put around
your ears. Right. So this is the first time I've done this. So this is literally the moment
of truth if this is going to work or not, but then you just go.
It's working though.
It has worked but ... so that way it didn't really work for me. So I'm going to try another
way that I have also seen on TikTok and that is using the heel of the sock, and that kind
of sits more on your chin. So what you have to do is take your sock, and then you'll want
to cut off the toes. And then also cut off the top part of the sock as well. Next up
you'll want to do one slit so similar to the other mask to make it one big piece of fabric
like this, but you actually want to keep it folded. And then again, cut the middle slits
for what's going to sit on your ear. The idea is that a heel of it kind of sits
on your chin. And I must admit that it's a lot more comfortable. I feel like this one
works a lot more. Do you?
Yeah, I like it.
I do want to say a little bit of disclaimer with these masks. Obviously, these are not
medical grade or are going to protect you hugely, but I have heard people say these
are don't touch your face masks. So they're kind of there to remind you not to touch your
mouth or your nose if you're out and about. So for that, I think it does serve a purpose.
The next TikTok hack that I want us to try is how to make a Dalgona coffee. I've seen
these. They look delicious, but I've never made one before. So all you have to do is
combine two tablespoons of instant coffee. It has to be instant. It doesn't work with
normal coffee. So two tablespoons of that, then two tablespoons of sugar. So that is
a lot of sugar, I hope is going to be a really nice sweet treat.
And then you also need two tablespoons of boiling water. I just bought the kettle. So
let me just put that in. Then you need to beat that until you see peaks in it. So I'm
just going to use my handheld thingy. This is so very old, but I'm hoping that it will
do the trick. So that did actually take about three minutes to actually blend it up to the
right consistency. Then you can serve it hot or cold but because it's nice and sunny here
we're going to serve a cold. So I'm just going to put some ice into a cup with some milk.
I'm just going to use some oatmeal. And then you spoon it on top.
That's it. That was actually so easy to make, but now I'm going to try it. Are you supposed
to stir it? It's really strong. It's been stirred. I'm going to try again. Yeah, it's
definitely a lot better, but also really strong. I love coffee, but-
This next hack that I saw on TikTok is a little bit random, but I thought it would be really
cool for all of the queen freaks out there. It is a way of turning the flashlight on your
phone into a black light so that you can light up a room and see any dirt or germs. And all
you have to do is put a piece of sellotape over the flashlight on your phone, and then
draw over the sellotape with a dark blue like this. And then when you turn your flashlight
on, it should create a black light. So we're going to test this out in our utility room
to start. So I've turned my flashlight on. So turn the light off and see how dirty this
sink is. You can see it is a bit of a blue light, but
I can't really see what the people on TikTok were seeing. So either our house is really
clean or this is not working. I'm really sorry. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong,
but that black light was just not working for me. And it's such a shame because on their
video, it showed up so much more dirt and I was excited to try it, but ... right, so
that is it for this video. I really hope you enjoyed seeing these TikTok hacks. If you
want to see more of these, make sure to give this video a big thumbs up and I'll know that
you like this and I'll see you in my next one. Bye guys.
