⭐Do you have an awesome home hack you want to share with me? I'd love to hear about it! Like this episode? Watch this next: th-cam.com/video/k17eYCX8RHQ/w-d-xo.html
I have a much better jar opening hack for you. Take a flat utensil (like a butter knife or if you prefer a flat head screwdriver. It just has to be sturdy and thin enough to fit between the lid and jar rim). Stick it between the lid and the jar rim. Twist (the knife or screwdriver). Wait to hear a "pop" of air. Open the jar. Try it. It couldn't be easier and you'll never use anything else after - Anna
I just take the butter knife and tap it to break the seal or bang it on the counter top a couple times and pops the seals.?I have never had a glass jar break before. That’s how my mom and grandma did it! Lol
I hang wreaths on a hanger in the craft closet when not in use !
I like the idea of the denture cleaner in the toilet but I use denture cleaners for another purpose. Use them in your stainless steel thermos's (like a Stanley thermos) and also use it in your glass coffee pot, not the coffee maker. Add hot water to the item and add one or two denture tablets (depending on how big), let sit for a little while and you will be amazed at how well it cleans these items. (I accidentally left the water and denture cleaner in a thermos we don't use often for a couple of weeks and the yuk that came out was as amazing as it was gross! But the darn thing looked brand new inside). Imagine what this stuff does for dentures!! Rose
@@aksaks5066 I have been doing this since my mom showed me in the late 50s. It's much easier.
The reason why many previously unopened food jars are hard to open, is because a vacuum has formed in the jar lid. By placing a spoon under the bottom edge of the jar lid, and lifting the edge of the jar lid just a little, allowing a bit of air to enter into the jar, it will break the vacuum grip on the lid, and the lid will open easily, without strain.
I came to say this. I don’t always use a spoon. Sometimes a butter knife… just anything that lifts the tiniest bit to break the vacuum seal. And VIOLA!
I was just going to say about the spoon lol so much easier 😊
I use the handle end of a butter knife and tap around the edges of the lid and it will also break the seal.
I have this problem with jars of hot sauce we can. If you turn it upside down and hit the lid on the counter, it breaks the seal and makes it easy to open.
I use the handle of a spoon, fork, knife to bang the edge of the lid (making a small indent to allow air in) with zero strain. I usually do 3 times around jar to make sure, but one is enough. Sometimes I take the table knife (non-pointed) and put the tip under lip and twist up. Should hear pop and then jar will open.
The peroxide hack is an old nurse trick. I am a nurse and had to use peroxide on clothes,shoes and so much more. Glad you shared it with everyone. ❤
Hello. I have used peroxide on my husband's clothes for decades ( its great on animal blood and he use to bleed out from his dialysis port). I also used it our clothing to get blood out. An ancestor who was a nurse taught me that too. Its also great to used on an other protein stains. You can even watch it go to work. Thanks for your share.
Another great video. I'm honored to be mentioned in this video. You made my day. It's been a stressful week. Another great hack for cleaning your toilet. Have a flat soda instead of dumping it down the sink, dump it in your toilet let it sit for a few minutes then flush it and now, you have a clean your toilet.
You're the best! so full of good ideas! Thanks so much sweet lady!
@@designedtothenines thank you, my late grandmother used to share them with me. She had a hack for about everything. You're welcome.
Congrats friend! Yes.. the elders had all the hacks and never had to write them down🥰❤🙏🏾To y'all and your mother🤗
@Cheray Cuthbertson thank you. Yes, so true. Thank you for the prayers. She's doing well. We're supposed to get more severe weather, so she's anxious about it.
@Mrs. Alma Trumble, prayers for your sweet mother to not be anxious and for Gods protection for her and us all with these severe weather outbreaks! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I believe we subscribe to many of the same channels-lol! Great minds must think alike! 🥰And…Natalee, as always, awesome job!!!❤
I've been using the sheet set storage tip for years now. I first saw it on Martha Stewart's show many years ago. It's the best way to keep all pieces together without looking for pillow cases. I couldn't tell if you turned the pillow case "bag" inside out or not but I do that to make sure it stays clean. My grandmother showed me how to fold the fitted sheet and I try to teach family members but they would rather me do it. LOL! I love the denture tab hack! Definitely will be trying that one. I have 2 dogs and shy away from using any harsh chemicals in the toilet in case they decide to have a drink. By the way, fingers crossed for a purple drill! 💜💜
I absolutely love that picture frame outlet idea! It really does elevate it!
I do the same hack with the sheets, but I turn my pillowcase inside out. That way any little bit of dust will not be against my pillow when I use it....just an extra possible allergy reliever for me😊 Thanks for the tips!
Hi! I was so excited you mentioned my sheet hack--putting them on wet. I live in Wyoming and it is not humid at all, so I can put them on and they dry with no problem. I'm glad you were able to make it work in Florida! I recognized you at a Dollar Tree in Davenport and it was so much fun meeting you. You even helped me pick out some decor for my airbnb in Florida. I love your show!
I’m definitely doing the damp sheet hack.!
I prefer bamboo sheets.
Hi Natalee 👋, great hacks! I use the bread tags on rolls of tape so I can find the end quickly! Thanks for sharing! Have a blessed day! Debbie 😊❤😊
I love the water balloon replacement with the "sponge balls"! A lot of the times the balloons don't break on contact, the "sponge balls" guarantee that you'll get someone wet and cooled off! 😅
For a moldable ice pack use a solution of 50/50 alcohol and water. Place a folded washcloth in the solution, wring it out so that it is still wet, but not excessively dripping, and then place it in the sandwich or snack-sized bag and freeze. ALWAYS be sure to place a layer of cloth between the "icebag" and your skin so that you do not further damage injured skin.
Thats a great idea! I sure could have used that idea when my husband had surgery or when I need a bendable one for my neck pain. Thank you!
I love that you showed how to fold a fitted sheet. I never knew how to get them done so I pretty much did mine just like you showed how you used to fold yours 😂 I’ll give this a try. I want to thank you for all your hacks and for always being so giggly and happy. You make me smile and put me in good spirits. Thank You so much, You are a Jewel 💎
I bet the line is beige in color. I see that Easter Egg sitting behind you, ladybug! 😂 You inspired me to use my drill! I bought drill bits and also a mixer box and saw and I’ve used them many times already. I feel so confident and proud of myself!! Thank you for all of the inspiration and congratulations to you on your new line. I cannot wait until the launch!! ❤
Good catch on the ladybug! I was thinking the color may be that chic gray she's wearing with some fancy chrome accents.
Love these hacks as always! If having trouble with a lid I run it under hot water then tap if needed with a utensil. I plan to use the frame/outlet hack! For the cell phone cords I use the round rubber grips at the top back of my nighstands so they don't slip off the hook. I've used hydrogen peroxide for years for blood. I just spilled spaghetti sauce on my ivory colored rug yesterday and was able to completely remove it with peroxide, some stain remover spray and a little dish soap. You cannot tell anything was ever spilled. You can also use the bread bag tags for labeling various cords and attach them like for the mass of cords behind the TV. Then instead of using the tags for the bread wrapper, just twist the bag opening and fold back over the loaf.
One sheet hack I do is to fold the top sheet in half long ways first. This helps you put the center fold on the center of the bed. That makes it even on both sides! Love the pillowcase idea. That is going in my arsenal! Thanks!
Turn jar upside down and bang onto counter a couple of times. Easy peasy
Great video... saw a perfect way to eliminate the lonely sock; each member has their own garment bag, coordinate different colors, or sizes... Brilliant!!
Congrats on your new adventure!
Just tap the lid on the counter a few times, gently and it opens easily 😊
Loooove all the hacks❣️Thanks so much for sharing and to those who contributed, great video and you’re so much fun 😆☮️💟☮️💟
All the hacks are wonderful and useful!! You're laughter is just contagious! Glad you are feeling better!
I keep a 4"x4" piece of anti-slip mat in the kitchen to keep my hands from slipping on the lids of jars. Lay it over the top and sides of the lid and twist it off easy-peasy!
You bring a smile and a laugh (or several) every time!! You are wonderful! And your hacks are great!!
Natalie you are such a hoot, I love your laugh! These were excellent hacks, thank you!
Great tips Natalee! I sew buttons on the corners on my duvet and sew a piece of the elastic with the buttonholes on each corner of the covers . It holds the duvet in place while turning it right side out and keeping it from moving around inside the cover during the night.
What a great idea, thanks!
I place the jar lid under hot water for just a bit, grab a towel and twist. Another idea, I use the back of a butter knife and hit the lid gently all the way around. Both ideas work like a charm.
I have never ever commented on anyone's videos before but this one was outstanding. I've been fighting duvet covers for years and finally gave up on them. This Just looked like so much better of an idea, lol. It was also hilarious to me, because I have always refer to myself as the princess and the pea when it comes to Sheets. If there is one crumb or one grain of sand, I am up in the middle of the night swiping it off of the. You are my absolute favorite of all the TH-camrs because you are so talented and you don't do cheesy stuff. Thank you for being on here and all of the great hacks and advice
Hi Natalee. 2 hacks for jars: you can whack the middle of the lid it releases the vacuum-seal. Also just use rubber gloves for traction. Easier than the duct tape thing.🙂
To open jars, I just use a wide rubber band off produce-like celery. I keep one or two in my drawer and it opens jar really well as you have something to grip on to. I also have a "vacuum seal" breaker tool (a spoon would work as well) that I love as well. I love the frame idea over the outlets, so creative and looks so great! Please do a test in a place that won't show when using hydrogen peroxide as it can lift color on some fabrics. But yes, been using it to lift blood for years! So looking forward to your tool line reveal!!! As far as the color, I have no clue, maybe a neutral gray/tan color? LOL Great hacks for around the home, some I've been using for years, but some are new to me as well. Hugs, Brenda
I use the plastic bread ties as cord labelers behind my TV. They slip over the electric cords easily, and a fine point permanent marker works well to label. One for the TV, one for the DVD player and one for my Bose radio. That way if I need to unplug only one, I know which one it is. I really love true hack videos (not diys called hacks) and I can always count on you Natalee to give us true and useful hacks. Great video!!
This is what I expected she was going to use the tags for. It saves your sanity!
I don't have the patience to fold my sheets like that. I do the best I can, and finish "neatly". Looking in my linen closet one would never know. lol Thanks, NataLee!
Recycling, refurbished, reuse, that the saying and my moto, have a blessed day.
Love all the hacks! Thanks Natalee!
I turn a jar upside down and slap it on the bottom really hard. This will release the vacuum, most of the time!
Thank you for the grout hack. I really needed it. 23:53
You are a joy to watch! Love your enthusiasm! I am looking forward to seeing your tool line. And DIY Dollee makes a fun video even better!!😊
Lots of great tips as usual!! So I was thinking about what you said about your tool line. I’m guess the name is going to be either “Powerful Goddess”, or “Goddess Power”. I think this because you always tell us at the end of every episode that we are more powerful than we know. And lately you’ve been calling us Goddesses.
U can also use a heavier utensil ( I use the handle end of a butter knife) and pop around the jar lid to break the vacuum seal. U can also, to turn the lid easier, use those rug grip pads from dollar tree, I cut mine into smaller pieces.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
Out of all the DIY channels you're the best of the best!
I love that you just taught me how to fold fitted sheets ❤
I am a Princess & the pea too.
My bed is my rejuvenation relaxation space. I must have a nice neat, clean crisp bed or I cannot sleep well. AND...
I am so excited about your tool line for us girls!
HAPPY DAY! 333❤
I use the bread tags to put them at the end of the tape roll to make it easier to pull apart the next time.😊
So glad to see you feeling better! I know everyday is not a slamdunk but every day gives us reason enough to Thank God for helping us through the day we are given ♥️🙏
Oh my gosh! Perfect timing for fixing the grout!!!
I use a thick rubber band around the lid … it gives a great grip around the lid and a jar opens so much more easily.
If u take your sheets out from storage, (washed earlier), after u put them on the bed, I use a generic wrinkle release to spray them lightly, both the fitted and top sheets, then turn on ceiling fan. That way u don’t have to use the sheets immediately or dampen them . 😊
Thx for sharing how to fold a fitted sheet. However, I take it one step further. After tucking the 2 opposite corners I put them together again & fold all four corners into one. It's easy to lay out & square up. My Momma showed me long ago & said this is how they come out of the pkg. I have been framing my light fixtures for years & it does look very cool. Thx for sharing that also. I buy a bag of ice & fill my seal a meal bags to desired sizes. Mainly use them to ice the water when I make hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot. It saves water & unlike the blue ice ones from the store if they spring a leak, no big deal & no toxins. I can refreeze them too. I enjoyed this episode. Thx 💥
Congratulations on your own line of tools!
Great hacks! A hack I learned years ago was taking the middle piece from the plastic milk cartons handle or detergent handle (if one is still attached) and I use it for scraping dried up food in pots or on a plate or countertop. It even helps with scraping labels off of jars. They are free.
Natalee, I don't know what your health issue (s) is/are but, I pray you are healing and doing SOOOOO much better!! I love love love 💕💕💕 your channel!! You and Lisa Burningham are my Thursday highlights.
You are both such classy ladies. To see such classy ladies get down and dirty (aka sweaty and your hair pulled up out of your way) is what makes you both so creatively interesting. Your skill in making everything (ie: your fireplace wall, boys bathroom and bedroom makeover, dupes, etc) is absolutely phenomenal, as is Lisa's makeovers and dupes!! Your skill and imaginations are out of the ballpark!! BTW, I am POWERFUL!! My favorite tools are the band saw, drill press, paint sprayer, and chopsaw. Least favorite is my sander... I hate sanding!! 😣🤦🤷👎
Thank you for today's helpful hints. My favorite was the command hook hidden from view for the charging cords. Again, thank you!!
Please continue to take care of yourself and your health. Sending healing prayers to one of my all time favorite DIYers!! 🙏🙏🙏
I use a piece of non slip shelf liner to open stubborn jars
Your beautiful head board has a brown spot, only saying it for you, love all your hard work, beautiful creations thank you🌺🌺🌺🌸🌺🌺
Natalee, you are my favorite TH-cam star and I watch a lot of TH-cam! You are so genuine and sweet (as well as talented) ❤️
I use a rubber band wrapped around the lid to help open a jar that just won’t budge. It works every time.
I watch you all the time and I must admit that I didn’t know you were sick ! I must of missed when you told us you were sick! Why are you sick please, 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤
Give a quick light tap to the lid on counter, put on rubber dish gloves and turn top, it easily opens normally without fuss of tape. Works for me!
Any scratches on wood furniture or floors, take a fresh half of pecan or walnut and rub on the scratch, the oils from the fresh meat of the nut makes the scratch disappear!
For stubborn stains on linen, carpets, curtains, clothes, furniture, etc, get FOLEX, spray the stain and BLOT, DO NOT RUB, and the stain will be gone like magic! Love your videos! ❤
Dawn power wash and Shout sprayed together works great on set in blood stains. I use a toothbrush to work in the products.
When you fold the fitted sheet, bring one of the ends inside the other, then square it up. Folds much easier. Then, fold your flat sheet long ways. Put the fitted sheet in the middle of the long folded flat sheet and put your folded pillowcases on top. Fold your flat sheet one end on top of the fitted sheet and pillowcases, then fold the other end. And you only have to grab the one flat sheet because the rest of the set is encased all together.
This is what I do 👍
That's how I do it. The fitted sheet can be made much flatter that way and it fit inside the folded flat sheet perfectly! I'm in my 60's and I've done this my whole life and so has my Mother and Grandmother. I'm guessing g-grandmother taught her or she learned it during her nursing years. I love the idea of turning one pillow case inside out for allergy relief!! I need that for sure! @Designed To The Nines thanks for sharing that hack.
😮I wanted to comment how to do it so it was easy to understand but you did an excellent job so now I dont have to. 😅
That's a hilarious hack for opening jars. 😂 it did work... but it's a bit messy. Here's mine. Take your jar... run the lid under warm/hot water... then upon removing from the stream of water... give the bottom of the jar two firm slap with the palm of your hand... you should hear a pop of the seal... then unscrew the lid... it usually works a treat for me.
Great hacks! I fold all four corners of my fitted sheets inside each other, then square up the scrunched edges, fold up the straight edge, then fold in thirds.
Also, those bread tabs are great for putting under the edge of masking tape to easily find and peel back the tape.
I love watching your videos. You don't over use the word SUPER. Some people use it in every single sentence. You're entertaining and give such great ideas. Thank you!
Being able to repair grout is so helpful. Thank you!
You got me when you had to take a moment after saying "caulk" 😂
I fold my sheets, put them together and roll them up. I have a small closet in My bathroom. They fit perfect in the corner when rolled up.
Great hacks Natalee, thanks for sharing.
Lining up the lines of the screws on the switch covers elevates them as well. 😊
I had to laugh I couldn’t open a large jar of pickles the other day. I told my daughter. Where is the duct tape . Thank you. It worked. She pulled I held the jar. 👍 It worked no problems. You had some great hacks on this video. Blessings Natalie and family 🌹♥️🥰🙏
Awesome hacks Natalee! Always great hacks from you. Thank you for sharing ❤
Ahhh. I'm so eggcited!!! Congrats! I Have all pink tools. I'm so happy!!
We save those thick rubber bands that comes around fresh vegetables and use those to open lids. You just place the rubber band around the lid. It gives your hands a grip that helps twist the lid.
I use felt pads and double sided tape on the back of the felt pad , place it inside my dresser drawers and add a couple of drops of my favorite essential oil.
You can change the felt pads whenever you want a different scent.
Great Hacks, Natalee. Looking forward to your new Tool Range.
My duvet covers don't have ties inside, and as I'm a single-mum, always struggled to put the covers on for years, especially after my accident, - I'd even crawl inside to try and get the ends on, ended up looking like I was fighting the cat!! 🤣now I turn them inside out and put a clothes peg on all corners, then grab top and bottom corners on my side, quick shake, and it's done. Do this on single, double and Kingsize, works every time.
I put a denture tablet inside the bowl and leave it overnight then flush in the morning, but will try putting it in the tank, Also if you have any Coca-Cola that is out of date [or ask your local supermarket if they have any out dated stock] if you pour that inside the bowl, leave overnight, flush in the morning, brings the bowl up like new. Coca-Cola is also great for removing rust on items too.
I'm thinking chocolate color! the Easter pillow beside you, the camera keeps zooming in and our...chocolat remains in frame. Loved all your hacks, you make everything so fun!
I like to fold my fitted sheet into a long rectangular shape. I fold the top sheet in a similar way and stack the two on top of each other. For the pillow cases, I fold them lengthwise and place them on top of the stack. Finally, I fold the 2 ends to meet in middle and fold once more time to make a square stack. Everything is all together and easy to handle.
Framing the outlets is a great hack
I use the room keycards from Hotels as food scrapers. They're amazing
I have a hint when putting on sheets. I use to have problems figuring out if my king sheets were going on side ways or straight until I realized that the tag in the inside corner always goes on the bottom left ( looking from the head of the bed) or caddy corner ( top right). One less frustration on changing day.😊
For opening stuck jars, I just use a bottle opener. I lift up an edge just until I hear the pop, then it opens right up. I don't reef on it until the jar lid "warps", just until the seal pops. Congratulations on your line of power tools. I think you are the best, and you deserve much success. (Also glad to see that you seem to be feeling better).
Love the outlet conversion- genius
I had done the frame around the outlet in my craft room. I love the idea. Not sure why I haven't done it in other rooms. :)
Such a great idea. I will be doing this in my kitchen.
I have a frame around my thermostat in the hallway.
I want to do this, but I have 2 side by side fixtures. One with 3 switches will work with a 5x7, but the other one is a double switch. The size is not going to work with a standard sized frame. I guess I’ll have to beg my husband to create a custom frame to match the purchased one.
Pour rice into a sock, tie in a knot, heat in microwave for a couple of minutes, wrap around your neck to ease pain. It provides a moist heat that feels so good. Keeps being moist heat after lots of uses. It helps with other painful also.
Another option to open those tight glass jar lids is to use the pointy end of an old fashioned bottle opener. Tuck under the edge of metal lid and pull up gently….repeat several times around the lid of the jar and the vacuum seal will release and easily screw off. I deal with a lot of arthritis and loss of strength in my hands so I use this a lot!
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing!
Great idea with the wax melt in the sock drawer!
To open a jar Darlin, take a butter knife under the lid a few times. It will unpressurize it and open it soooo easily for you I promise. Much easier than the tape trick. ❤️
I love Brook Linen too!
Ok so I tried the bedsheets hack and it worked!!!! Thank you!!!
You're welcome!!💕
I love how Dolly matches your bedding perfectly
So many of these hacks I've used, but that duct tape blew my mind!😮❤😮
Love, love, love all things Designed to the Nines
I can totally relate to the princess and the pea😊
Thanks for the hack video Natalie. There’s always some hacks that I don’t know so I enjoy the hack videos. TFS.
Thanks for sharing your hacks, Natalee ❤
I will take my candles when I have burned them down as far as is recommended. I will place them in a pan with water and gently heat the remaining wax until it melts and then pour it into a silicone mold of course removing the wicks as I go. I then have wax melts that I can use and there is no waste. I store them in a mason jar but, any airtight container will work. I love this hack!!
Nice hacks Natalee. You could microwave your sock hack and warm it up. That would feel good.🥰
I use those plastics tabs from bread, etc. and put them on the end of my masking tape roll, painters tape, etc. I always know where the end of the tape roll is 😊
Your sheets look amazing. Thank you for sharing this company.
This is so much fun! I’m holding off on purchasing a nail gun for this line 🤭 My original guess was blue.. now, I also think gray or white with chrome!
GREAT hacks….❣️. Thank you so much for sharing Natalee…❣️
Thank you for sharing these are all wonderful.
Great hacks. Thank you for sharing 😊
I have use this hack years ago and I put the tablet directly in the bowl and it removed hard water stain and build up. Once the build up was gone I don't use it any more.
Thanks for all the tips Natalee!! I just love you and your channel ❤👏
Lol! “If you know, you know”! 😂😂😂😂❤
Yay! You go girl!!
