In this episode, pool hacks!
Now when it comes to posing for pictures by the pool
usually people will sit like this
and take a photo
not the most glamorous way
to take a photo because
it'll make your legs look shorter and stumpier.
So what you want to do is rotate your body
elongate your legs and pose like this.
So this one is for when you have a hole in your pool float.
And usually these
holes occur at the seam of your float.
I'm going to show you how to fix that a
quick fix okay.
First make it nice and flat and then you
want to grab some baking paper cover the hole with the baking paper.
Next just use
a flat iron to "kiap" over the hole.
So basically you just go over the hole
until the plastic has melted and stuck together.
It's freaking hot!
So as you can see the plastic has
melted together and the hole is gone.
So I've gone ahead and I've blown my
pool float up and as you can see my seal is right here and guys it works!
So it could be more than a temp fix.
It could probably last quite a long time by the
looks of it.
Ah! That's pretty nifty!
Now if you'd like taking selfies in the pool
you may have come across this problem where you drop your selfie stick and it
sinks to the bottom.
Just like this.
I'm gonna teach you a way to avoid this problem.
All you need is a pool noodle!
All you have to do is thread your selfie
stick in the middle of the pool noodle.
Now when I take selfies I don't have to
worry about my selfie stick dropping to the bottom of the pool.
If you like chilling in the pool,
I'm gonna show you how to make a DIY floating drink holder.
All you need is a pool noodle.
Cut it to this size.
Next you're gonna need a glue gun.
So what you want to do is glue your two noodles together.
Next you want to
get your drink and you want to trace around your drink so you know where to cut.
Alright, so I've kind of marked off where I want to cut
I'm gonna get my penknife
and go ahead and cut a hole into my pool noodle.
It's gonna look something like this.
Don't worry about it being too deep or
whatnot doesn't matter because it just needs to hold your can like that!
And there you go!
It will float in the pool now.
And now my floating cup holder is ready to sail away.
Sail away sail away...
Goodbye!
So this one is for those of you who use goggles!
Alright, so as you already know when you have goggles and you throw them
in your bag they can get pretty scratched up.
A great way to prevent that
from happening is to actually use a sock.
So when you're done with your pool
session all you have to do is place your goggles inside your sock and then you
can throw them in your bag.
And now you don't have to worry about getting
scratches on your goggles.
So you know how it gets really annoying when you're
in the pool and your goggles start to fog up.
Well a great way to prevent that
from happening is to actually use baby shampoo.
A lot of scuba divers use this trick as well.
All you have to do is place a tiny little drop inside your goggle lens.
Then you just simply spread it out through your lens okay.
Once you've laid the baby shampoo over your lens just give it a quick dip
in the water and that should leave a nice film over your lens and prevent it
from fogging up.
Now if you have an old yoga mat lying around like this one and you don't want to
waste it by throwing it away,
a cool little DIY trick you can do is to
actually make visors out of it.
And you know you can make this one with your
kids because kids will love doing this. Because kids love projects!
So here's a little trick that you can do to keep your kids occupied.
First is to draw out your visor cap.
I guess this is as wide as my face?
I don't know...
And then you want to make another bigger rainbow.
Okay, it's not the best-looking
shape but that's okay.
This is why it's called DIY guys.
This is for everybody to make. You can be completely not creative at all and still get it right.
Alright, so next thing is to just cut out this.
Alright, that's one bit cut out.
I may have made this a little short so I'm just gonna go a little bit above it
because otherwise it's not going to create any shade.
So I'll make this a little bit longer.
I've cut out my visor.
It's not too shabby.
Next you want to cut two slits here and here.
And then you want to grab your sunglasses,
thread your sunglasses through the holes.
Okay, so let's just see how well this works.
So I've just
place it like this and then this way
the sun doesn't glare into my eyes anymore.
Your kids will love it!
Just make sure that you put sunblock here
because that is going to get burnt to a crisp.
Come to think of it you should just put sunblock everywhere anyway.
Right?
So don't throw away your old yoga mats
because you can find many uses for them including these.
It can be pretty easy to lose your slippers at the pool when you're having fun.
A simple solution is to attach a carabiner to your bag like so.
Then you can attach your slippers to your carabiner.
This way you won't lose your slippers unless you lose your bag.
