If you’ve seen my egg dying post where I attempt to dye some eggs with food dye then marble them with nail polish, you’ll see that I really could have used this tip last year.
Use a whisk to hold your egg while you dye it and you won’t end up with blue fingers.
Madly packing at the end of a holiday and need a bag for your shoes? An excellent excuse to steal the free stuff in the bathroom. Make use of the hotel shower cap and use it to protect your clothes from grubby soles!
Painting with kids is so much fun isn’t it?
No. No it’s not. It’s not fun unless they are painting outside, in the garden, naked, on a day hot enough to hose everything down at the end, including the children. But this hack might help to keep some of the paint in one spot if you’re doing it inside.
If you want your bananas to stay yellow, wrap foil around the stems. This will slow their production of ethylene which makes them (and other fruit around them) ripen. Science innit.
Life hacks every Monday on Ladyland. Have you got a good one?
