The term “life hack” is defined as “a tool or technique that makes life easier and more efficient.”
Ten years ago, the term didn’t exist. A lot has changed in ten years. The world has become a
hubbub of technology, speed, social media and smartphones. Even when we don’t factor in all
the unexpected surprises that can–and do–pop up every day, life can sometimes seem like one
big flurry of chaos.
Let’s pump the brakes for just a minute, pull off the highway of chaos, and take a look at 27
things you can do right now to make your every day life less stressful, more efficient, a
touch healthier, and maybe even save a couple bucks along the way. Here are our favorite,
simple life hacks–ranging from super quirky to downright genius!
DIY Travel Cup From Cellophane
In this modern, rush and go world, anything that can make our existence even more simple is a
plus in my book. To be honest, this hack is so great, and so obvious, that I slapped my
forehead wondering why I hadn’t thought of it way before now. You do not have to buy one of
those fancy car cups or $65 metal brand name cylinders when traveling with your favorite
smoothie or protein shake.
No, now you can enlist a simple product that most everyone already has in their pantry. Just
feel up your cup with your favorite protein shake, smoothie or cup of juice, and cover the top
with some Glad Press N Seal (or generic cellophane wrap). Then, pop a straw through it, and
you have a DIY on the go beverage. Want a little extra seal? Rubber band right around the
rim. Boom, done.
There are a few different brands on the market, but the one we are liking is Mobile Klean. It’s
frequently in stock, fairly priced at about $39, super portable and feels sturdy and well-built.
The first half of 2020 was a wake-up call for how we deal with germs in our everyday lives, and
as the world re-opens it will be increasingly important to sanitize surfaces such as your car,
restaurant tables, office desk, and even public restrooms. The UV light emitted by Mobile Klean
is safe on electronics, so we find ourselves blasting our iPhones with its sanitizing beam of light
multiple times a day.
**09/16/2020 Update: Due to Mobile Klean’s popularity and recent Facebook advertising, they
seem to be back-ordered a few weeks and the pre-order list is apparently growing very
rapidly. Here is a working link with 50% discount code applied to order a Mobile Klean UV
Light if you are interested.
Stop Snoring Tonight
It’s hard enough to get a full night’s rest without any disturbances. If you snore or have a partner
that snores, getting a goodnight’s sleep is nearly impossible. A lack of sleep is one of the worst
things for your well-being and overall health.
In the past, all you could turn to stop the snoring were CPAP machines. But these were
expensive and sometimes even louder than the snores themselves. Or you could turn to a
medical operation, but that’s just crazy, especially now. Thankfully, a product called Sleep
Connection is turning the sleep industry on its head.
Sleep Connection is a watch-like device that detects snoring by using cutting-edge biosensors.
It immediately sends natural electrical pulses to reposition your body and end your snoring.
We just checked and it’s actually on sale again, but this discount can only be found by

Great Avocado Every Time
Avocados are one of the most expensive food items on the market today. Having been used for
years in a plethora of recipes and as bases for condiments, they are a treasured and essential
cooking staple. However, when you find that the avocado you have purchased is rotten, it is
understandable to become upset. However, the next time you are shopping for avocados, flick
the dry stem off the bottom. If there appears to be a brown patch under the stem, put that one
back—it is definitely going bad. However, if you see a bright yellow-green color, you are good to
go.
People will exercise to help their bodies become fit, but when it comes to mental health, most
people do nothing. Considering the brain is the most important body part, this is a critical
mistake. This is exactly why natural supplements like SF180 were created. Thousands of
people use SF180 and supplements like it each day to help boost their brainpower, normalize
their moods, reduce stress, and help return to a normal sleep pattern.
SF180 is a propriety Nootropic which basically makes your brain run smoother and faster. It’s
why so many people are calling it the “limitless” pill since it unlocks your brain’s ability to
perform. If you ever feel like your memory isn’t what it used to be, you’re lacking energy, or
you’re stressed you seriously need to consider trying SF180 or something similar.
09/16/2020 UPDATE: SF180 is always selling out and has extremely limited stock, as pointed
out on Facebook. SF180 is not sold in stores and is only available through their online
store.
Work Up A Sweat Before Going In The Shower
There are just days that, no matter how hard we try, we can’t seem to find the time needed to
work in the proper workout routine. This is where a pre-shower sweating session can be just as
beneficial as a workout. Make it a goal to schedule a “mini” workout each day, performing
lunges, squats, and push-ups right before you get ready to shower. Not only will you have
achieved your much needed “pre-sweat” but you will have the side benefit of having worked on
toning your muscles as well. Add in the fact that you will feel refreshed and energized, you can
start your day on a more upbeat note.
So you call your internet provider for help, but they offer no help. All they suggest is to pay more
to upgrade your plan to a faster speed. Even if you do that, nothing changes, because they
purposely throttle down your speeds to make it slower.
TrifiBoost Booster is the only solution to stop your internet provider from slowing down your
internet.
However, it does more than just boost your internet speed. This tiny device also extends your
Wi-Fi to reach every part of your house. This means no more dead spots where you can’t get
Wi-Fi. This makes it perfect for all types of homes where family members need Wi-Fi in all
rooms including the basement.

The Easiest Way To Melt Belly Fat
Nothing is more frustrating than eating healthy and exercising and you still can’t lose weight. Or
maybe you’ve been a victim of the “quarantine diet” and gained some unwanted belly fat. The
only option used to be just living with this stubborn fat, embarrassed and frustrated.
However, there is this “trick” to burn fat going viral that doctors and celebrities are raving
about. This is something new that doesn’t require dieting, exercising, or changing your lifestyle.
We can confirm the hype behind SuperSonic Keto is real. If you’re someone who wants to
lose weight, have more energy, or simply want to feel better about themselves, this needs your
full attention.
When you take SuperSonic Keto, it turns on a switch in your body that tells it to burn fat for
energy instead of carbs. This means you burn fat without having to even lift a finger. The proof
is in the thousands of people giving it 5-star reviews who have lost weight with it.
After talking with the founders of SuperSonic Keto, they agreed to offer a special trial for our
loyal readers. The one catch is this offer will only be available or a short time longer by clicking

Replace Outlet Air Fresheners With Air Filters
The next time you see the sun shining in your house take a closer look. Those tiny particles you
see floating could be harming your family. It is estimated the number of pollutants inside your
home is more than double than what you’d find outside. And since we are spending more time in
our houses than normal, it’s more important than ever we keep our house free of anything that
can make us sick.
One thing we’ve done is take all of those outlet air fresheners out of our homes and replaced
them with outlet air filters. The one we liked the most was Pure. Unlike traditional air purifiers
and fresheners that just “mask” these airborne particles with chemicals, Pure uses negative
ions to destroy them. Just plug it into any outlet and walk away. The device does the rest and
it’s 100% safe, natural and has no filters to replace.
Considering the alternative is to spend $1,000+ to have a professional service disinfect your
home (with dangerous chemicals), it’s easy to see why outlet air filters keep selling out. Costing
as low as little as $41, these little gadgets are hot commodities given what’s going on in the
world right now.
Meditation
By setting aside as few as five minutes per day to engage in meditation and the clearing of your
mind, you will see the benefits ten-fold. Recent studies have shown that of those participants
who indulged in daily meditation, their stress levels were significantly reduced, achieved better
sleep patterns, and saw an added improvement to their immune functions when compared to
those who did not practice meditation. It is suggested that if you were to start meditating, the
best time is at the beginning of the work week. With this one simple action, you will be able to
enter your work week with your energy gathered as well with as having achieved a centering
calm as well.
But thanks to a genius new invention, you no longer have to keep handing over hard-earned
money to your greedy electric company a penny more to stay cool.
Blaux Portable AC is a tiny cube that runs on a rechargeable battery (which costs just pennies
to run each month) and it dramatically cools the air around you. It also comes with a built-in filter
that purifies the air of dust, pollen, and whatever other harmful things that are floating around
your house.
Tens of thousands of people already use Blaux to cool their homes, and most even
ordered more units after seeing how well it works. People are keeping them in their offices
where they work, their kids’ rooms, the kitchen, even outside on their patios.
There’s only one problem people complain about, it’s always selling out. The company just sent
out a notice they got a new shipment from the factory and are offering a special discount of
50% off, but it can only be purchased by clicking here.
Keeping On Track With Water Intake
Let’s all admit it, some days it is a significant struggle to get in all the glasses of water that we
need to drink. I, personally, seem to lose track and get frustrated more often than not at the
process. However, there is a very clever method to help you keep track of your H2O intake
throughout the day. Just take a clear water bottle, and with a permanent marker divide the bottle
into 200ml/1cup sections. Then, next to each section, put the time of day to drink that portion—
such as 8 am, 10 am, etc. By having the servings marked on the bottle, you will know how much
you have drunk throughout the day, making that task of getting you eight cups of water in each
day not so daunting.
The never-ending barking when the bell rings or a car pulls into the driveway…or worse, the
wind at night has them barking which wakes up the whole house? It’s just plain annoying. Our
pets just want to please us and make us happy but many times they don’t understand what they
shouldn’t be doing.
BarxBuddy is a genius device that helps stop these bad behaviors and corrects them on the
spot. It emits a high pitch sound only they can hear, which stops the bad behavior and diverts
their attention. It’s 100% safe for them and works almost instantly.
See why thousands of pet owners have already given BarxBuddy a 5-star review. And if you’re
lucky, the massive discount they’re offering is still available here.
Meal Prepping For Lunches
Everyone has experienced it—the weekday grind gets so rough that we are too tired to plan, let
alone cook, a meal. As a result, we turn to the worst possible choice—that of fast food.
However, with a few hours set aside on a Saturday or Sunday, those days of settling for fast
food will soon be over. During the time you set aside for your meal prep, take time to cook items
such as chicken breasts, boil eggs, or even make a batch of brown rice. You can get the tedious
job of chopping veggies out of the way as well so that when needed throughout the week you
can pull them out and easily incorporate them into the meals. You can even go so far as to prep
several entire meals at one time so that when ready all that is needed is to toss them in the
microwave and heat and serve.
This “miracle oil” called CBD is 100% natural, 100% safe, and has no known side-
effects. All you have to do is place a few drops under your tongue and you’ll start feeling relief.
People even take it to reduce anxiety, stress, and to sleep better at night.
Since exploding in popularity, many companies have come out with inferior products quickly to
try and make a quick buck. After doing extensive research, we found a company called Pro
Active, whose product is recommended by doctors across the USA because of its high-quality
ingredients and strict manufacturing standards.
Pro Active is always in a constant state of being sold out, but they currently have limited stock
left which can be only purchased on their website directly by clicking here.
Dish Soap Used In The Toilet
With endless products claiming they can make your toilet look brand new, it can be hard to sift
through them all and figure out which one to buy. Rather than spending money and time wasted,
there’s something in your house already that you can use. And it’s not what you might think.
Dish soap is the answer you’ve been looking for. And it couldn’t be anymore simple to use. Take
1/4 cup of dish soap + 1/4 cup of baking soda + 1/4 cup of water. Mix them together, then pour
them into the toilet. Stir the solution, then let it sit overnight. The next morning, do a light scrub
and your toilet will look brand new! You can also use dish soap to unclog a toilet without a
plunger. Simply put 1 cup of soap into your toilet, let it sit for 30 mins. Then take hot water and
pour it into the bowl. The clog will be gone.
Helping Onions And Garlic Last Longer
You don’t have to be a top chef to know the flavorful benefits of cooking and sautéing with
onions and garlic. By simply adding these two staples, you can totally change the game when it
comes to the taste of some of your favorite foods or dishes. Although such veggies as onions,
garlic, and even shallots last much longer than their counterparts, such as bananas, apples and
oranges, there is a simple hack to further their longevity by as many as three more months. Just
take a paper bag, such as a lunch bag, and using a paper punch and punch holes all in the bag.
Once you have that done, fold the bag top down a couple of turns and secure it with a paper
clip.
It’s annoying, embarrassing, and dangerous. It also means you’re left with uneven sharp
nails. This is exactly why ClipperPro was invented.
The inventor experienced these same issues all the time and knew something had to be done.
So he created ClipperPro which is made from surgical grade steel. But the genius behind his
invention is the swivel blade that allows you to clip your nails at any angle and the ergonomically
handle. It’s dead simple to use and just needs a light touch to operate.
Right now, the company is offering a 50% discount for new customers which can only be
found by clicking here.
Stretch It Out
Many individuals are unaware of the benefits of taking a mid-day stretch breaks can offer your
body. By stretching the body’s muscles mid-way through the day, you can receive a boost of
energy. The gesture has also shown to improve focus and concentration and significantly boost
your mood. All that is required is to set aside as little as 5 minutes a day, preferably between
long stretches of work, to flex and stretch your muscles. The stretching can quickly be done at
your work desk, with not only allowing you to benefit from the above-mentioned improvements
but also gives an added boost to your overall circulation which works toward better physical
health.

Commute With Laughter
If there is one thing that most people dread most about the workday is the long waits in traffic
that goes hand in hand with the morning and evening commute. However, there is a silver lining
to be had, in the form of podcasts. By listening to a podcast, of a comical nature, you can laugh
the minutes away and as a result making the commute go faster. Podcasts are great for taking
your mind off of the fact that you are moving at a snail’s pace, as well as help you relax and
decompress after a long stressful work day. There is a massive amount of podcasts in different
genres, so you are assured of finding something that will tickle your fancy.

Working Out While Watching TV
Although we may state that there are not enough hours in the day to get what we need doing, let
alone find time to go to the gym, we always seem to find time to sit down and watch television.
So much so, that it is estimated that the average person watches three-plus hours of TV a night.
Given that most people aren’t going to be giving up their television viewing anytime soon, why
not put that time to double use. There is a multitude of videos on the internet that show you how
to watch TV and get your work out in at the same time. Like they say, waste not, want not.

Cleaning With Essential Oils
Essential oils have recently been coming into their own lately, due to their natural makeup and
limited impact on the environment, as more and more companies and individuals find new and
more useful means to incorporate them into their everyday life. One such way is to use them in
the cleaning of our homes and living areas. The most beneficial aspect of essential oils is that
they are natural, and not harsh like man-made chemicals, and have much fewer side effects. By
combining essential oils with other natural products, such as baking soda or vinegar, a whole
new world is opened up to a more natural method of cleaning.

Sleeping With Socks On
Among the great rivalries of all time: Coke versus Pepsi, McDonalds versus Burger King, Red
Sox versus Yankees … and sock-sleepers versus barefoot-sleepers. Turns out, sleeping with
your socks on is a net positive for overall quality of sleep and aids in falling asleep faster. Socks
help your feet warm up quicker, which in turn dilates the blood vessels in your feet, which in
many studies correlates to a signal being sent to your brain that it’s time to switch off, and doze
off to sleep.
A couple recent sleep studies have shown sock-sleepers to fall asleep up to 40% faster than
barefoot-sleepers. Now, if only Burger King could make fries that taste as good as McDonalds.
Yoga Vs. Headache
When dealing with any headache minutes can seem pretty much like hours. However, when the
headache is tension related, there is a feeling of no end. When one such headache arises, yoga
may be the best answer. Through the use of various inversions poses, you may receive relief
from your headache. An inversion pose puts the head below the level of the heart and includes
such well-known versions as the downward facing dog, child’s pose, and the legs up the wall
pose. Not only do these poses aid in stretching out the neck and shoulder muscles, in turn,
relieving tension, but they also help significantly in improving overall circulation. Improved
circulation will speed up the passing of the headache as a result.

Up Your Gym Game
As mentioned before, making time to get to the gym for most business professionals can be a
chore. But, if you up your game, and make a move that will make the visit more enjoyable rather
than a chore, then fitting in time will come even easier. Why not rent or buy a copy of your
favorite audiobook? After doing so, make it a rule and stick to it that you can only listen to it
while you are in the process of working out. Making sure that the audiobook is one that you will
love, with a feeling that you can’t put it down will almost guarantee that you will make it to the
gym.
This is exactly why Buzz B-Gone was invented, to put an end to annoying mosquitos once and
for all. And based on the fact most of the reviews give this product a full 5-star rating, it looks
like they have finally solved this major issue.
Buzz B-Gone is a simple, but a genius solution for mosquitos’ problems. It uses a
powerful UV light to attract the mosquitos, then when they get close, a powerful 360 reverse fan
sucks them in and kills them (without the need for chemicals). It was built powerful enough to be
used anywhere you need, indoors or outdoors, but light enough to take on-the-go.
Thanks to how well it works, and their current 50% off promotion, they are selling like crazy and
are expected to be sold out any day now. If you want to get one before they do, you have to buy
it directly from their website by clicking here.
Shoe Insoles That Fix Back, Knee, And Neck Pain
Most people are unaware that back, knee, hip, and even neck pain are all tied to their feet.
When you think about how you’re on your feet all day it makes sense. Even the slightest
misalignment and it breaks havoc on your entire body (especially your back/spine).
The team behind MindInsole combined modern technology with 3,000-year-old reflexology to
create an insole to fix this issue. These insoles deliver over 400 acupoints that lead to quick
relief and better circulation in your feet.

stock. We even found a discount for 50% off which can be found by clicking here.
Bedding That Helps Fight Germs And Keeps Odors Away
People don’t like to think about it, but your bedsheets are drenched, covered, and crawling with
all types of bacteria — even if you wash your sheets weekly. This means you’re laying in and
breathing in all these bacteria and microbes all night as you sleep. And with all the time we are
spending at home lately, our sheets are just getting dirtier and dirtier.
If the thought of your bedsheets being a sponge for bacteria and other nasty things grosses you
out (and it should), there’s something called antibacterial silver that you need to learn about.
These silver ions, which is what Miracle Sheets are made with, eliminate 99.9% of
bacteria and microbial growth (a.k.a they are self-cleaning). Not only does this mean these
sheets will protect you from getting sick, but they’ll also keep your skin clear of blemishes, and
you can go much longer in between washes.
Miracle Sheets have countless 5-star reviews and not just because of their ability to kill
bacteria, but almost everyone who has them will tell you they are the most comfortable sheets
they’ve ever used. These sheets also help regulate temperature and keep you cool and sleeping
through the night better.
Right now, the company is offering up to 20% off your order plus a risk-free – 30-day trial
but these deals can only be found directly at their website by clicking here.
Charcoal As An Air Purifier & Odor Remover
We’re not talking about those heavy white and blue bags of BBQ charcoal you would pick up at
Home Depot. Well, actually, we kind of are in a way. Activated bamboo charcoal, in particular,
can be found in most home goods stores (and might already be accidentally stored in your
garage or shed!) and can be used in place of baking soda to remove odors, and in place of
expensive air purifiers to purify air.
Unlike baking soda or chemical sprays like Febreeze, this charcoal can purify air, remove
bacteria and a lot of allergens. Simply load some activated charcoal into mesh bags, and put
them around the house wherever you have odors.
No surprise, companies are catching on and if you haven’t seen it all over Facebook
already BreathGreen Charcoal Bags go for about $10 each. The best part? Every month put
the charcoal bags out in the sun and the bag “reactivates” and recharges itself. Google activated
charcoal for more info, pretty cool household hack if we ever saw one.
Use A Pair Of Compression Socks To Relieve Back Pain
Did you know sore joints, headaches, and back pain are likely caused by your feet? Yep, you
heard it correctly, your feet! The problem stems from bad blood flow which causes stress and
pain all over your body.
That’s why one man created DockSocks. He was on vacation in Asia and a store owner noticed
when he was in pain. The man showed him a pair of socks that helps increase blood flow which
reduced the stress and damage that was being caused on his entire body. So he tried them out
right away…
He quickly noticed his feet hurt less, was getting fewer headaches, and he no longer had
back pain. He even felt like he had a boost of energy. He loved them so much, he returned
home to the US and created DocSocks.
Since the company is still new he is currently offering 50% off by clicking here.

Personal Air Purifying Necklaces
Pathogens, viruses, bacteria, and mold are all around us and floating in the air. There’s been no
way to truly avoid breathing them. A few companies have been gaining popularity for their
