ENJOY ICE-COLD WATER
ON THE GO
Instead of filling your water bottle
up with cold water (that will get
warm quickly during the day)
or freezing it (which means you
have to wait for the water to melt
before you can drink it), mix it up.
Fill the bottle to a third full and
then lie it on its side in the freezer.
Once frozen, top up with cold
water. That way, you’ll have cold
water to drink immediately, plus
the ice will melt over time and
keep your bottle cool for longer.
MAKE YOUR OWN SPORTS ICE PACKS
Whether you play hockey, cricket, tennis,
rugby or soccer, you can be prepared for
minor sports injuries with a homemade ice
pack. Simply saturate a sponge with water,
seal it in a Ziplock bag and freeze. Freezer
packs are great for relieving inflammation
from minor bumps and bruises.
GET THE LAST BIT OUT
OF THE NUTELLA BOTTLE
Nobody wants to see
even a drop of Nutella
go to waste, but it’s
pretty tricky to get the
last little bit out of the
jar. A life hack everyone
needs to know: use the
jar as your pudding
bowl! Add a scoop of
ice-cream and use your
spoon to swirl it round
the side. It will pick up
the bits of Nutella, and
you’ll get a gloriously
chocolatey treat.
FIX A BUSTED ZIP
PICK UP SPILLED GLITTER
Making crafts with glitter is super fun,
but trying to deal with spilled glitter is not.
Use a clothing lint roller to pick up the
last bits of glitter from a spill more quickly
and effectively (and without ending up
covered in it!).
Use a paperclip
to fix a zip when
the zip-pull has
broken. And if
your zip’s teeth
keep sticking, run
a soft graphite
pencil up and
down the length
of the zip a few
times to make it
open and close
more easily.
