I’ve seen so many life hacks lately, the majority of which seem ludicrous to me. Take for instance the suggestion to use packaged popcorn on the wall as a fire/smoke alarm…? Seriously, I hope that hack was a joke. Or what about the suggestion to add nonsense words onto your essay in white so that you can up the word count and fool your teacher…! Again, really?
I was beginning to dislike the term. Then I discovered a set of 25 Clever Life Hacks To Make Life A Little Easier on One Good Thing by Jillee. In fact, I was so enamored with her post that I had to share a few of my favorites here. Check out her post for photos of the hack in action as well as 22 others.

Essential Oil & Toilet Paper
1. Put a few drops of your favorite smelling essential oil on the inside of your toilet paper roll. When you tug on the toilet paper, out will waft a soothing scent.

Onion & Potato Peeler
