Top tip No. 10: color your keys
How many times a month will you complain because your set of keys is too big and you can’t find the right one to open your door? For all those who are like me, that is to say head in the air, this tip will revolutionize your daily life! Personally, I have 12 keys on my keychain, yes yes… I might as well tell you that it’s a real hassle every evening when I come home.
The little tip came to me from my friend, or rather from her first aid kit. I call it a first aid kit, because even McGyver doesn’t have that many utensils in his house. In short, the trick to stop searching for 3 hours which key opens which door is simple: use a color code!
Step 1. You take your nail polish or that of your friend. You don’t have any nail polish? That happens here. Then you identify several distinct colors. For example, I took red, green, blue, yellow, black. You can’t go wrong like that.
Step 2. You apply the varnish to the round or square part of the key, i.e. the top, and let it dry. I also advise you to apply a maintenance layer, top coat for beginners.
Step 3. All that remains is to remember the colors for each important door. I assure you, it’s much simpler!
Top tip No. 9: the story of the tongue and the straw
You don’t know this story? Little reminder! We’ve all had a can of soda before, right? If this is not your case, congratulations, you must have been living for years in an equatorial forest where even Bernard de la Villardière would not dare to venture.
For everyone else, I’m sure you’ve already played with the tab, once the can is open. I’m even sure that many of you break it and leave it in the can before throwing it away.
What you may not know is that this tab has a purpose: to hold your straw in place. And yes! You know, the straw that always rises to the surface and falls to the ground? It’s all over! You will just have to turn the tab over, and bam, insert the straw into the slot provided for this purpose, and no more trouble!
Top tip No. 8: the spoon and the pan
If there’s one thing that annoys me when I cook, it’s finding my work surface disgusting. You just have to make a tomato sauce, a dish with sauce, and it’s done… Why? Generally because we don’t know where to put the spoon used to mix the preparations. It always ends in two ways:
The first: you leave your spoon in the pan, impossible to remove it afterwards without burning yourself!
The second: the spoon lands on your work surface, and then it’s a disaster, you’ll still have to clean everything!
This tip is super practical: lock your large spoon in the handle of the pan, and that’s it!
Top tip No. 7: toaster 2.0
You are a student)? Are you stingy? Do you just like tips? I’m going to show you how to use your toaster differently. The toaster trick, that’s its nickname, is simple, practical, and allows you to avoid buying a toaster, which will serve you twice during the Top Chef shows, and which will end up on your shelf.
It’s very, very simple: to toast a nice slice of bread with cheddar on top (it makes me hungry), simply tilt your toaster 90 degrees. For the literary people, I have a photo for you, you never know 🙂 Your toaster has become a toaster, in less than 2 seconds. So, this tip is not bad, right?
Top tip No. 6: the sink is beautiful
Is the bidet ugly? Let’s talk about serious things! The weekend is cleaning, and who says cleaning often says “I don’t want to”, “I’m tired of it”, “when will I be rich and not do it anymore”. Today I’m giving you a tip that will revolutionize your cleaning day!
You mop the floor, but your bucket is too big, and especially your sink too small… This mainly happens to students, but it can also be the case at home. And even if you have a double sink (don’t you, Stéphane).
The manipulation is very simple, use a small shovel (which you use to collect dirt), and use its spout as a pourer. Position it as in the photo, and no more problems filling your large bucket.
Top tip No. 5: a collar that’s always on top
You have a party and your shirt is not ironed? BUT your girlfriend has a hair straightener? WOW! I will be able to do something for you. Please note, this tip does not work for the entire shirt, but only for the sleeves and collars. The technique is simple: use the straightener like an iron, applying it, hot of course, to the areas to be smoothed.
Easy, practical, what more could you ask for? Or as Georges would say, what else?
Top tip No. 4: it’s worth a brick
A problem that I’m sure everyone has had at least once: the carton of milk, or orange juice, which pours and spills all over your glass when it is full. Have you ever had this problem? Do not panic ! The method I’m going to tell you about is crazy simple.
To avoid this type of inconvenience, simply drill a small hole, using a knife or a pair of scissors, in the opposite corner of the opening. The air will then prevent waves of juice or liquid on your table.
Top tip No. 3: aperitif!!
How many of you are taken by surprise when you have friends over and the beers and other drinks aren’t cold enough? Is your fridge small and you have to put your alcohol in the fridge one by one? I’ll give you a tip that I use all the time, especially in front Koh Lanta (evening with friends required…).
Put moistened paper towel all around your bottle, and leave it in the freezer for 10 minutes. Guaranteed effect!
Top tip #2: Barbecue sauce?
Courage! Barbecue season is about to begin. The little evenings outside, the heat, the smell of the barbecue, the desire to go swimming, the sunset around 10 p.m., we can already see you there 🙂
But generally, when we talk about barbecue, we also talk about charcoal, kindling, fire starters and therefore matches. And there are some for whom lighting the barbecue is a real ordeal. You have to admit, it’s not always easy to light the barbecue, especially without a fire starter.
I’m going to give you a very, very simple tip that will change your life. To light a barbecue naturally, use chips! And yes, chips are on every table when preparing a barbecue. Not only is it good,
but it is also a food that burns very well. If you don’t have any kindling or fire starter, grab a few chips and that’s it. SO? Aren’t we waiting for Patrick?
Top tip No. 1: there are people at the pump
I put this tip as number one, because every time I go to the gas station, I think about it, and frankly, it’s great to never make a mistake again. You know what I’m talking about? When we arrive at the pump, we sometimes get stuck and no longer know which side the fuel flap is on. True or false? If you’re like me, don’t panic,
I have the solution! On your dashboard, right where you see the gas you have left, there is a little drawing of a gas pump. Next to this drawing, there is an arrow, right or left. If the arrow is to the right of the pump, then your hatch will be on the right, if it is to the left, the hatch will be on the left. A simple tip that will change your daily life 🙂
