I don't know about you, but I'm a huge sucker for lifehacks. Anything that helps me get through my day faster I'm all for it, hee-hee.

So, if you're like me, I think you're going to enjoy all these helpful tips I'm about to share with you. We can collectively thank the people of the internet for them. Let's get started. Shall we?

1. This Phone Hack

Have you ever found yourself in this situation? I mean, it can't be fun to find out your phone's touch screen doesn't work, huh? But who knew there was a workaround like this one? Wow, this is so cool.

2. This Car Tip

Put things on the hood of your car instead of the top. If you forget, you’ll see them when you sit in the driver's seat. How many times have you driven off with a drink falling to the ground? It happens to the best of us.

3. This Mosquito Bite Hack

Apparently, you should put a band-aid on a mosquito bite. It's fast and easy and lets you scratch as much as you want without any skin damage. Hmm, it makes sense to me. Have you tried this?

Put a heating pad under the covers for about five minutes. Then remove it and snuggle under those warm comfy blankets like they just got out of the dryer! For maximum comfort, ensure the heating pad also heats your pillow!

5. This Green Onion Hack

Put the ends of your green onions in a glass of water, and they will re-grow! You will never run out of them again. But to be sure, you should eventually put them in soil so they don't go moldy.

6. This Onion Cutting Hack

Place onions in the fridge for about 10 minutes or in the freezer for two or three minutes before cutting them. That way, you will have a tears-free experience while cutting them. OMG, I didn't know that.

7. This Wedding Life Hack

Here's a tip that will help you save money on a wedding dress. Search online for a "white dress" instead of a "wedding dress." You might get more versatile results and often times cheaper. I actually have done that, too.

8. This Organization Hack

Do you need to work on your car but are afraid you may lose a part or two? No worries. Just use an old muffin tin to keep all the small nuts and bolts neatly organized.

9. This Planting Hack

Speaking of muffin trays, who knew they had so many other uses? I just found out that people are using them to space out their seeds when planting them in an outdoor garden. I love this idea.

10. This TV Remote Tip

How many times have you searched for that TV remote? Too many to admit, huh? I hear you loud and clear. So, do yourself a favor and attach some velcro to the back of the remote. You will never have to look for it again.

Do you have trouble swallowing pills? Uh, I know what you mean. But I just learned of this trick. Apparently, when you put a tablet in your mouth and drink water through a straw, it goes down easier.

12. This Mailing Hack

Have you ever had to mail something in a tube? Well, this is how you do it. This person sent this tube with a tongue depressor attached to it to prevent it from rolling around during the trip. Wow, how neat is that?

13. This Twist Tie Tip

Did you know that those twist ties that come with a face mask are much stronger than regular ties? Oh, yes. You can use them for so many great purposes. So, there's no need to throw the whole mask away when you're done with it.

14. This Medicine Tip

Here's a simple way to ensure you get your exact medicine dose without making a huge mess. Keep the protective foil on your medicine bottle and cut a small slit or hole into it. This way, the flow of the medicine will be more controlled when trying to pour it into the dosage cup.

I hope you will find these lifehacks useful somehow.
