Ow.
-
Do cookies really get that hard after leaving them out for one night?
-
Time to get the bread.
-
Hey guys!
-
It's Rachel.
-
Well, it's 2:00 A.M. Rachel.
-
It's a little different than 2:00 P.M. Rachel,
-
but still Rachel.
-
So I'm currently having a giveaway
-
where I give away this MacBook Air and a Hoverboard.
-
The only rule for this giveaway that you must be subscribed.
-
That's the only rule, because I just want
-
to give back to my subscribers.
-
And this giveaway ends on December 27,
-
so find out if you won on that date.
-
Also, let's see if we can get this video to 3,000 likes.
-
And comment down below which one of these weird Christmas life
-
hacks you like the most.
-
OK.
-
Let's get on with the video.
-
Life hack number one.
-
You see this lovely kind of Christmas tree that I got going on here?
-
Well, this is a problem that I'm pretty sure everyone has.
-
See these lights?
-
They are not on.
-
And they are plugged in.
-
See?
-
It's not like they're not on because they're all broken.
-
I know that they all work because
-
I bought these yesterday.
-
The problem at hand is one of these bulbs are missing.
-
And if you have a tree that's bigger than this,
-
it's going to take a very long time
-
to go through every single light to figure out which light's missing.
-
So if you want to figure out which light bulb is missing out of all of these,
-
of all of these, all you've got to do
-
is just take this volt detector.
-
And just scan over the areas, and then it
-
will beep when there is voltage.
-
But when there's no voltage, it will stop beeping.
-
So you know the general area of where it stops.
-
Because even if there's a missing light,
-
the rest of the lights still have voltage in them.
-
It's just the ones that come after the missing light that
-
don't have voltage in them.
-
And you can literally get this from any hardware store for $6
-
and use it every year to figure out
-
which light is the broken one.
-
And then to fix a light bulb, if you don't physically
-
have a new light bulb, just unplug everything,
-
and then take a piece of aluminum foil
-
and shape it into kind of an oval shape,
-
and press it deep into little socket for the bulb.
-
You just need the two metal pieces
-
on the inside of the bulb to be connected.
-
And the aluminum foil will connect them.
-
Just turn on the light and then all the lights will turn on.
-
If you like giving presents but you suck at wrapping,
-
to the point where every single time
-
you give someone a gift you have to literally apologize
-
for the way you wrapped the gift-- I got you a gift,
-
but I'm really sorry.
-
The wrapping's terrible.
-
I'm not good at wrapping.
-
That's you.
-
That's literally you.
-
Just wrap it like a Hershey Kiss.
-
All you need is a sheet of aluminum foil.
-
And then take a sheet of tissue paper
-
and just completely crumble up the gift in the tissue paper.
-
And then wrap the aluminum foil up, and then just kind of twist it.
-
And then you also have to write a little card.
-
So cut a strip of white paper out,
-
and then write whatever you want on the card.
-
And then open up the foil on the top.
-
And put the little card in, and then twist it.
-
And you have a little Hershey Kiss.
-
And you can literally do this with any item.
-
So here I'll do it with a square box.
-
Here I'll do it with literally a blow dryer.
-
See, it doesn't matter how ugly it is,
-
because they'll think it's supposed to look like that.
-
And it is the easiest thing ever.
-
This was a square box.
-
These were lip glosses.
-
This is a blow dryer.
-
You literally turn anything into a Hershey Kiss.
-
If you live in a small apartment or somewhere that just doesn't
-
have a fireplace, and you want to make a fireplace,
-
just find a bunch of boxes.
-
And just place them like this.
-
One on top of the other here.
-
Here, and one right here, but tape it up.
-
Now you have to cover it with plain white paper.
-
You could use tape or glue, but I found this adhesive spray.
-
So just spray the glue on, and just put pieces of paper
-
over it so you can cover it up completely.
-
And then take some red brick colored paper and cut out brick
-
sized pieces of paper.
-
And then glue those on every other one like this.
-
Kind of like in the shape of a brick.
-
And if some pieces don't fit,
-
just cut it off or glue it to the side.
-
And you're done.
-
And now you've got a cute little portable fireplace
-
for apartments and stuff.
-
You can hang your stockings and put some candles up.
-
If you want to have a fire behind it,
-
you can make this projector.
-
You just need a plain shoe box and a magnifying glass.
-
So just trace the magnifying glass
-
to see where you need to cut, and cut that part of the shoe
-
box out from the front side.
-
And then just cut off the piece of the magnifying glass that's a stick,
-
and then tape the regular circular part
-
of the magnifying glass on.
-
And then just take your cell phone
-
and find a YouTube video or something of a fireplace.
-
And then put it in the center of the box
-
and turn off the lights.
-
Just make sure that the video itself is upside down.
-
And it'll project the fireplace onto the fireplace.
-
And you can literally play whatever you want on it.
-
Did you get me my present yet?
-
See, this is a perfect situation where
-
if you didn't get a present, you could find out exactly what
-
she wants right now, by just saying, yeah, I did, actually.
-
It's like literally the best present
-
you're ever going to get.
-
Wait.
-
What is it?
-
And then when they say that, just say,
-
I'm not going to tell you.
-
But if you guess it, then I'll tell you.
-
And now they're going to start guessing every single gift that they've ever wanted.
-
And now you won't get them a bad Christmas gift.
-
A mountain bike.
-
The new OPI nail polish.
-
MAC lipstick.
-
It's the dream.
-
Ow.
-
If your Christmas cookies are really hard,
-
just because you left them out or you overcooked them
-
just a bit, all you need to do is put
-
the cookies in a Ziploc bag.
-
And then take bread.
-
Yeah, bread.
-
And then break up the pieces of bread
-
and put them in the Ziploc bag with it.
-
The cookies are going to soak up all the moisture from the bread.
-
And then after a couple of hours,
-
or overnight I just left it, cookies will literally be soft.
-
So basically you just got to get bread near your cookies
-
and they'll become soft.
-
I don't know many people deal with this,
-
but if you get tree sap anywhere on your body,
-
a way to get it off is to just take toothpaste and
-
just wipe it on the tree sap.
-
I kid you not, it comes off right away.
-
Oh, lovely.
-
