Problem-Solving Ideas!

Wow! Can you believe I am already on day 23 of my 31 day pinterest challenge?
I feel like it has flown by!
If you've already read the post title, you kinda already have a gist where I'm going with this, but just is case, I'll explain.
During many of those hours long pinterest sessions, I come across a lot of great ideas.
Crafts, Outfits, Food etc.
But one of the most amazing things about pinterest, is that it has solved some pretty annoying, but small, problems.
I have a whole board dedicated to these. 

So I'd thought I'd share a few with you today!






I cannot believe someone hasn't come up with this sooner!! I hate having to take things out of the oven, and am always getting burned. 
amazing right?
"It’s simply a pair of silicone guards that line the outer edge of your oven racks and allow you to pull the oven racks out with your bare hands. No need for pot holders, oven mitts, or towels, the silicone stays cool up to 450 degrees. They cost less than $10 for a set of two"
amazing right? I so need to order these!

I absolutely love boots. But my calves don't. So when I saw this trick for how to "break-in" your shoes/boots, I knew I had to try. I'll let you know how it works!




I also have a thing for scarves. like a lot of scarves.
I wanted a way to display them, because I hate not being able to see what I have and what I don't.
That handy dandy pinterest solved it for me.
a tension rod
amazing.
so doing this!





Another really annoying thing is having to fight to get glitter out of it's tube.
(I know,  First world problems)
Just pop a magnet on the bottom and hang on a metal tin,
and viola,
problem solved.

And I never can paint my nails, because I know that I will always smudge them as soon as I finish.
Not with this trick:
"Submerge wet nails in cold water for 3 minutes. The polish will dry completely, and it gets rid of any that got onto your skin!"
and I have tried it, and yes! it works!

and lastly, because we've all had these moments:

Ahh Haa Moments

Yes, I am aware that it is friday and I should be linking up over at liferearranged for InstaFriday, but to be honest, I have about 3 pictures from this week. So I figured I would save them for next week and share with you the things that give me those "man I shouldve thought of that!!!" moments.
Oh pinterest, how I love thee!

Anyways, here are some from my Problem Solving Ideas board on Pinterest. (by the way, have you followed me yet?? look ----> over there! See the button?)


So lets get started:

Yep. Pretty awesome idea (the picture explains itself)

This is also pretty sweet. Basically they took an old VHS cover, put a picture through the slit, and nailed it in the wall to hide valuables. So. darn. smart.


Ugh, How many times have you broken nails to try to add a new key??? This is the perfect solution. They took a stapler remover and used it to open the ring. So clever!

For travel, add saran wrap to the inside of bottles to avoid leaks. (and no more wasted shampoo because it exploded all over your clothes!)



For those annoying pictures that require two nails, add masking tape to measure the distance. Then just apply the tape to the wall and level. No more 50 unneeded holes!



Hope you enjoyed all those lightbulb moments! Youre welcome! 

Happy Friday y'all!
