  • School days can be full of struggles, but luckily there's a solution to every problem

  • and in this video you will learn all of them.

  • Ready? Let's go!

  • I actually don't drink coffee...

  • But I know that for many people starting the day with a cup of coffee is so important!

  • If you're one of them and need to have your coffee in the morning, but at the same time

  • you are always late for school, this hack is right up your alley!

  • Instead of having your beloved coffee from a mug, try making coffee popsicles.

  • It's so simple and saves a lot of time when getting ready in the morning.

  • Pour your coffee in a bunch of popsicle molds – I am using instant coffeeno judgment!

  • Pop these in the freezer overnight and you have your to go coffee popsicles ready for

  • the entire week ahead.

  • Have one on the way to school and by the time you get there you'll feel super awake

  • and refreshed!

  • Having a piece of chocolate during breaks works as a great energy pick me up on a hectic

  • school day.

  • However, when you pull out your chocolate bar in school, something like this is very

  • likely to happen.

  • Can I have some?

  • Sure!

  • Thanks!

  • You're the best!

  • Don't get me wrong, sharing is caring but sometimes we just need to indulge with a bit

  • of chocolate on our own and in peace.

  • A great way to do that is sneaking a piece of chocolate in an eraser!

  • Pull the eraser out of the cardboard wrapper like this.

  • Now take your yummy chocolate bar that you want to take to school!

  • Since most erasers are white, I recommend going for white chocolate.

  • And that's not a problem for me because white chocolate has always been my favorite!

  • All that's left to do is insert a piece of white chocolate inside the eraser wrapper.

  • See how beautifully this one fits in?!

  • Yup it took me some searching in the grocery store to find the right chocolate for this

  • hack and I definitely succeeded.

  • Finally you can enjoy your well deserved sneaky piece of chocolate without being bothered!

  • For those classmates that always want to take a bite of your lunch, here's a little funny prank.

  • Take some grapes and a bag of candy drops.

  • Unwrap the candy and set it aside.

  • Now take a grape and wrap it in the candy wrapper.

  • Voila! Here we have our first grape candy and it looks completely legit!

  • Let's make more of these and pull a little prank on our classmates.

  • As they sayfruit is nature's candy and personally I love it more than sweets anyway.

  • But we can definitely say that this girl won't be asking you for food again!

  • Can I have one?

  • Sure, go ahead!

  • Thanks!

  • Glue bottles are always so bulky and impractical!

  • So many times I end up with a huge glue mess in my notebooks and this has to stop!

  • No stress, with this hack it will for sure!

  • I love these glitter glue bottles.

  • Pick one, open it up and squeeze the glue inside an empty nail polish bottle.

  • So cool right?!

  • Fill the nail polish container up to the top with the sparkly glue.

  • Now you have a much lighter, cooler and easier to apply glue to take to school.

  • The nail polish applicator works so well and applies just the right amount of glue exactly

  • where we need it.

  • Not to mention how cute small and practical these glue nail polish bottles are!

  • You can throw them in your pencil case and have them with you to school without adding

  • too much additional weight to your already heavy backpack.

  • A fun and handy hack you definitely need to try!

  • I love to doodle in my notebooks.

  • But then I end up using all the pages in my notebook for funny drawings instead of serious notes!

  • Luckily I have an epic idea that will save all our notebook pages but still give us unlimited

  • space for our doodles and other creative activities.

  • Take a notebook and get ready to cut out a piece of the front cover.

  • Using a ruler and an exacto knife make four straight cuts about two centimeters from the

  • notebook edge.

  • Now you can take the center piece out like that.

  • Grab some double sided tape, and stick four pieces on the inner side of the cover.

  • Time to take an acetate sheet and stick it on.

  • We're basically transforming our notebook in an eraser board.

  • But besides being super cool and practical we want it to be very pretty too.

  • So stick a piece of beautiful craft paper or a print out of your choice on top of that

  • acetate sheet.

  • Here we have it! An amazing erase board notebook!

  • You can write and erase your doodles and drawings using a simple whiteboard marker.

  • To make the experience even cooler, stick a medium sized pom pom to the marker like this.

  • Now you're ready to make drawings and notes on your notebook cover and erase them without

  • getting your hands dirty.

  • This is seriously so much fun!

  • Write your to do lists on your notebook and when you accomplish them, simply use the back

  • of the marker to erase the task.

  • It is really convenient and also very sustainable because you'll save a lot of paper!

  • This hack is 100% mother Earth approved and I love it!

  • Ok so I noticed that pencil eyeliners and lip liners look very similar to the rounded

  • coloring pencils.

  • And with a simple trick we are going to make them look exactly the same.

  • To transform a black pencil eyeliner into a coloring pencil we need a black permanent marker.

  • Color the entire eyeliner with it in order to remove all the headings and captions.

  • Our eyeliner looks just just like a black coloring pencil, so we can take it school

  • without a worry on our mind!

  • You can also use nail polish to cover your eyeliners and lipliners.

  • I want to paint this lipliner in red.

  • In order to achieve this, let's first cover it with white nail polish.

  • We need to do this because black is the strongest color and painting red directly on top may

  • not turn out opaque enough.

  • That's why applying a white base is super helpful.

  • As you can see the red nail polish looks very bright and opaque on top of it.

  • That's exactly what we needed.

  • Apply a coat or two and you are all set!

  • Mix your makeup pencils with a bunch of rounded coloring ones.

  • So amazing right? They look exactly the same!

  • You can do this for your brow pencils, or even the jumbo eyeshadow pencils.

  • There's literally so many options!

  • I like to use the black eyeliner to define my eyes.

  • Especially when I want a bit more smudgier look!

  • I love wearing a red lip liner instead of lipstick.

  • It is actually way more long lasting than many lipsticks and when you are wearing a

  • bright color like red that's exactly what you want.

  • Sara?! What's that on your lips?

  • Lips?

  • Mhm...

  • Um... nothing they are naturally like that.

  • Oh...

  • I wish had lips like that!

  • Can I have one?

  • Me too!

  • Not just chocolate, gum is also one of these super desired things that everyone wants, right?

  • Where can we hide our gum so that no one will notice?

  • A pen?

  • No no, we're going to use a package of ink cartridge.

  • Take your favorite gum and open up the package.

  • Next you just want to replace 3 ink refills with the yummy gum!

  • Leave a couple of ink cartridges in the package because you need to have a few spare ones

  • to write your notes with.

  • Don't get me wrong sharing with your friends is always a nice thing to do.

  • But sometimes tricks like this can be very handy and there's nothing wrong with having

  • some sneaky gum here and there.

  • Oh yeah!

  • You know those times when you get so hungry during classes and your tummy starts making

  • the funny rumbling noises.

  • I've definitely been there and it felt pretty awkward!

  • The easiest way to avoid this funny struggle is to have a quick snack on hand.

  • This one is seriously so easy and convenient.

  • Take a packet of coloring pencils that doesn't have any opening at the front.

  • Take all the coloring pencils out and you have lots of free space to hide your favorite

  • snack inside.

  • The best is to go for something healthy like nuts and seeds but I found those gummy ropes

  • in my grocery shop and the package was just perfect to fit inside the coloring pencils

  • box so I had to go for these.

  • Very sneaky and convenient when you need a boost of energy!

  • And remember to only have a small treat every day, on general always opt for healthy

  • and nutritious food.

  • Are you out of your mind!

  • This is not allowed in class!

  • Sorry.

  • This has all gone too far!

  • School is a serious institution!

  • This is not happening again.

  • We got to find a better way to hide our nail file and the back of a ruler seems like

  • a perfect spot.

  • Take your glue gun and apply a stripe of hot glue at the back side of the ruler.

  • While the glue is still soft, place on a nail file and you are free to shape your nails

  • during class.

  • I mean who says we girls can't multitask.

  • We are totally able to listen to teachers lectures while taking care of the manicure

  • am I right!?

  • And when you need to make a straight line in your notebook, your ruler will still work as new!

  • Hey!

  • I have one!

  • Wow!

  • A nice nail shape is of course a foundation of a beautiful manicure, but a pretty nail

  • polish on top is just as important.

  • And sneaking a nail polish to school is a piece of cake, when your nail polish looks

  • like a usual white-out!

  • Take a correction fluid bottle and compare it to your nail polish bottles.

  • Which one has the most similar shape?

  • I think... this one!

  • The bottles have similar sizes, and this nail polish is just out of this world gorgeous!

  • So sparkly and pretty!

  • Alright it's makeover time.

  • Carefully remove the sticker from the white-out bottle.

  • Place it on a flat surface with the sticky side facing up.

  • Grab the nail polish bottle and roll it over the sticker to attach it on perfectly.

  • How simple it was to create a white-out filled with a gorgeous glittery nail polish, right?!

  • Your nails will be thankful for sure!

  • It looks beautiful on its own or as a top coat over any other color.

  • Use this idea to sneak your favorite nail polish to school and get yourself an amazing

  • mani while listening to your teacher's lectures.

  • Still can't get over how stunning this correction fluid looks, find me a more glitzy glam white-out,

  • I'll wait.

  • Wait! Happy news!

  • I just uploaded a brand new epic DIY clothes video on my second channel so make sure to

  • watch it and subscribe!

  • Mwah! Byebye!

School days can be full of struggles, but luckily there's a solution to every problem
