Simplifying life : These tricks would make you a star in your social circle

Updated on September 1, 2017

We all at times have found ourselves in situations we wish we knew our way out of. Let me tag it as “I wish mommy was here” situation. Because mom has a solution for everything . But then, let’s cut  all the mommies some slack-  she just might know it all at all times. So here is a comprehensive list named “I’ll make your life easy peasy” which would come in handy when your mother becomes clueless.

Nutella crisis

Almost finished but not quite finished situation while savoring your favorite calorie laden sticky-gooey-heavenly-tasting butter? Drop a liberal serving of ice-creme in it and attack the jar. This would leave your jar squeaky clean depriving the ants of a feast.

Dude, it’s suede!

I do that and I am quite sure, you do it, as well. Do what? Issue a word of caution, “New shoes, please watch out”. But, when the new shoes are made of suede, the caution is laden with a threat. Who would clean it if it stains? Bread, who (or rather, what) else. Take a piece of stale bread and rub (gently) on the stain. Voila, no stains!

Pinchy shoes

Your beloved shoes don’t fit you right? It’s the right size, but still pinches you here and there? Go wear you socks, slip into your shoes (girls with a love for high heels, this works wonders) and then, zero in the problem spot and switch on the a hair dyer and let the blast of hot air hit the place for good five minutes. Wait for the area to cool down, step out of your shoes, remove your socks and slip into your favorite pair ,this time sans the socks. Fits? Hurrah! Doesn’t? You need to repeat the process. This is a tried and tested method.

Hammering a shivering nail

Hold it in place with a clothespin and hammer on. This would save you from the “ouches” and “grrrs”.

iPhone in pieces

You drop you favorite phone, oh sorry, iPhone and the back cover looks like a drought stricken land. What do you do? Do this – pick your highlighters in different shades and paint the cracked rear. Be ready to be answer, “Where did you get that rad phone case from?”

Quick press

In a hurry, see your formal shirt’s collars looking weary ? Take a hair straightener and press it, it’s that easy!

Yolk, please!

We all need yolks at some point in life (Mark my words, you would, as well. Irrespective of you being a guy or a gal). And separating the egg yolk seems to be a task best left to the rulers of the kitchen. Do this – Crack an egg in a vessel, take an empty bottle, slowly place the empty bottle’s mouth near the yolk and incredulously see it being pulled into the bottle. Gently drop the yolk in an empty dish, done!

Ever soft Pizza crust

Reheating a pizza can be a pain in the posterior, it hardens and gives your mouth a leather chewing sensation. Simply place a half-filled glass of water near you pizza while reheating it in the microwave. See, the crust is still soft and edible.

How I cut my cake?

Who doesn’t like cakes, rolls, cheeses and other soft solid delicacies? But cutting them can be not so likable an experience. Take a dental floss (unused and unscented) and cut your soft solid like a boss.

Let there be light

Place you cell phone’s torch underneath a bottle to evenly distribute light in case of  blackouts.
