30 Women Share Their Most Useful Life Hacks For Other Women To Take Advantage Of

We currently live in a world and era of high expectations and distractions. Many times, we find ourselves completely overwhelmed by all that is going on in our lives.

Our thoughts become heavily burdened by anxieties, clutter, and the demands of daily existence, robbing us of the peace of mind that we so richly deserve and preventing us from living life to the fullest, as we are meant to. If we want our lives to be a little easier than they are now, we must consciously take the steps needed to achieve the desired change.

We can't just wait for everything to get easier and do nothing. So, precisely what is a life hack?

A life hack is essentially any trick, skill, shortcut, or method that significantly allows an individual to solve common daily obstacles. It also helps increase efficiency and productivity in a wide variety of day-to-day tasks across various aspects of life. More often than not, it involves the use of specific simple tools that are frequently overlooked by many.

Life hacking is a helpful skill that develops through experience, creativity, ingenuity, and innovation. It is a matter of thinking outside the box and coming up with ideas to make things simpler, easier, and much faster to attain, and then effectively turning these ideas into reality.

1. Let your feet be.

DON'T WEAR SHOES THAT HURT.It isn't worth the distraction, mood-kill, bunions, foot pain, injured toes, or inability to walk.You don't break shoes in; shoes break in your feet.FloydianCrazyDiamond

2. An extra lifesaving kit in the car.

Keep a backup purse or toiletries bag in your car's dashboard filled with basics, e.g., deodorant, perfume, basic makeup, glasses cleaner (if you're blind like me), a mini toothbrush and toothpaste, a mini brush, some cash, etc.FloydianCrazyDiamond

3. Be a beautiful mess and embrace it every day.

When I’m not feeling so hot or sexy, or when I’m stressing about meeting my own standards, I ask myself: what would a guy do?The answer is usually much less than all this.So then I sit back, accept that my existence and presence are gifts to everyone, and enjoy!FloydianCrazyDiamond

4. Sustainable menstruation products.

Diva cups. I save so much money and haven’t had a yeast infection since.FloydianCrazyDiamond

5. Eye-opening.

Bending my bobby pins just a tad (I learned this from a hairstylist years ago). Think about it: your head is round. They conform much better to your head, hold hair better, and don’t poke out due to being completely straight.FloydianCrazyDiamond

6. Say NO!

Learn the power of saying the word “no.” Set those boundaries for yourself. It's life-changing.FloydianCrazyDiamond

7. Pets over men.

Bin the dating apps... get cats.You’re welcome.FloydianCrazyDiamond

8. Dawn dish soap can make your jewelry sparkle.

I learned from my jeweler that Dawn dish soap and a soft toothbrush will make your dingy jewelry sparkle! He was right! Don’t use it on opals, as they are a soft stone.FloydianCrazyDiamond

9. Set your priorities right.

Yourself and your family come before work. Always.FloydianCrazyDiamond

10. Drink more water to pee more as well.

Always pee after sex. Avoid unwanted UTIs!FloydianCrazyDiamond

11. Make your life easier after showering during periods.

One life hack I have is to put your pad on your underwear and leave it on the sink so it’ll be ready once you get out of the shower, making it less likely that you’ll have an “accident.”FloydianCrazyDiamond

12. No means No!

“No.” is a complete sentence!FloydianCrazyDiamond

13. Clear nail polish can work wonders.

For those who use shaving gel that comes in aluminum cans: before you put it in the shower stall, use clear nail polish to make a thin coat all along the bottom rim of the can. Let it dry for a few minutes, then put it in the shower stall. This will prevent the can from rusting at the bottom and leaving those rust-colored rings.FloydianCrazyDiamond

14. Vinegar for the win.

Vinegar softens towels; you don’t want to use fabric softener as it builds up and makes the towels less absorbent. It also helps eliminate odors. Vinegar can remove soap scum and hard water marks from granite. Vinegar sitting out in a bowl can remove odors, like onions, bacon, and seafood. Basically, vinegar for the win! FloydianCrazyDiamond

15. You deserve better.

Never be afraid that you might not find a better person; that’s why you settle for less. You always deserve better, and most importantly, peace of mind.FloydianCrazyDiamond

16. Simply easy and clean.

Clean as you cook.FloydianCrazyDiamond

17. Keeping that shirt right in its place.

If you wear a lot of skirts, tuck your top into your tights before putting your skirt on. It keeps your top in place and looks smoother and more flattering than if you put the top directly under the skirt.FloydianCrazyDiamond

18. Take care of yourself and your body.

Budget for pedicures, massages, haircuts, and waxing. If it’s self-care, budget for it. Taking care of yourself goes a long way.FloydianCrazyDiamond

19. Spend time, effort, and money on the ones that matter.

Learn when someone isn't worth your time or energy. Save it for those who matter.FloydianCrazyDiamond

20. Be rude when you gotta be rude!

This sounds weird, but... don’t be afraid to be rude.Manipulative family members, gaslighting ex-partners, guys on dating apps who keep pushing boundaries, random men who think they're entitled to a conversation, etc.Some guy trying to talk to you while you're reading, listening to music, or working out?Flat, blunt rejections. An annoyed and sarcastic, "Can I help you with something?"FloydianCrazyDiamond

21. Cheap conditioners over expensive shaving products.

Stop buying shaving products and use cheap conditioners instead! It’s a closer shave somehow and also moisturizes your skin.FloydianCrazyDiamond

22. Use men's products for better results.

Buy men's razors. They're more cost-effective and work better.FloydianCrazyDiamond

23. Using citrus for sparkle and amazing odor.

Throw any citrus peel into the utensil bin of the dishwasher before turning it on. The heat and water will release the citric acid that cleans your dishwasher while making your dishes sparkly clean! It also smells amazing when you open the door.FloydianCrazyDiamond

24. When a 'no' doesn't work, start being crazy.

When saying no to creeps didn’t work, I started screaming and acting crazy when they wouldn’t leave me alone. It shoos them off right away.FloydianCrazyDiamond

25. Sew your straps.

I sew my adjustable bra straps in place at the right size. No more straps pulling looser and slipping off my shoulders.

26. Cover the drain hole rather than trying to catch the earring back.

If you drop an earring or earring back while leaning over a sink, just put your hand over the drain as quickly as possible; don't try to catch the item. It's easier to cover the hole than to try and catch a tiny bouncy earring.FloydianCrazyDiamond

27. Tampons in a ziplock keep them safe.

I finally started keeping the tampons I keep in my purse/bag in a plastic ziplock bag so they don’t rip to shreds in the bottom of my bag and get dirty.FloydianCrazyDiamond

28. Do what you gotta do.

Be polite and nice (in a non-harmful way to yourself) with strangers and people in general until they prove that they don't deserve a good attitude.If someone does something that harms you, then you have every right to say, "stop doing that." No need to wait until they realize; just say it when you need to.FloydianCrazyDiamond

29. Use it to the fullest.

When you can’t squeeze any more product out of a tube container (hand cream, moisturizer, body lotion, etc.), cut it in half using scissors. You’d be surprised how much product can still be in there—sometimes a few days’ or even a week’s worth.FloydianCrazyDiamond

30. Make your car smell good on a low budget.

A cotton bud soaked in vanilla essence attached to your car's air conditioning will make the car smell good for months at a low cost.FloydianCrazyDiamond
