40+ Simple Life Hacks for Women That Make All the Difference

Use Rubber Bands for Manicures

Many people think that they can't give themselves a professional-looking manicure because they're maybe not the best with a brush. However, you don't need to have a manicurist's finesse in order to get flawless French tips.

Simply slide a rubber band over your nail and get to applying your polish! Just make sure you wait for the nail polish to dry before removing the band so that you don't mess up your perfect manicure.

Use Dryer Sheets on Deodorant Marks

It can be frustrating when you feel like you've got the perfect outfit picked out but then realize that you've got deodorant marks all over it. As it turns out, those are relatively easy to remove, so you can still sport your look of choice!

ADVERTISMENT

Rub a dryer sheet on the deodorant mark until it disappears. If you don't have any dryer sheets nearby, you can rub the item's fabric on itself. However, this should be a last resort, as it can stretch or wrinkle the material.

Cover Sink Drains

If a piece of jewelry falls into the sink, don't try to catch it. Instead, cover the drain with your hand. The truth is that unless you've got the reflexes of Serena Williams, you probably won't catch the falling jewelry.

ADVERTISMENT

Those of us who aren't the quickest will have a much better chance of covering the drain before our jewelry gets into the pipes. We also recommend covering your drain with netting, so that water can still get through but your precious items cannot.

Buy Men’s Products

Certain products simply work better and are cheaper if you buy the men's versions. For example, men's razors are cheaper than women's - the only difference is they aren't pink. Deodorant is also better when purchased from the men's section.

ADVERTISMENT

Women's deodorant comes in scents like 'Lily' and 'Morning Dew,' which is nice and all. Still, it doesn't exactly get the job done the way that men's antiperspirant does.

Shave With Baby Oil

Baby oil is a cheaper and more moisturizing alternative to shaving cream. It can also be used to clean your razor's blades, as it's quite gentle and will help your razor last longer. Simply soak your razor in baby oil between uses.

If you're not a fan of baby oil, you can also use conditioner as a shaving cream substitute. It'll give you that same glide and still leave your skin feeling soft.
