Life hacks are DIY solutions for every day problems. They're the sort of simple fix-its you stumble across and wonder why the world didn't tell you sooner. Everyone has at least one in their kit bag for getting through the day to day grind and we'd love to hear yours. If you have video, you could post that too. We'll publish the best submissions so everyone can benefit. cheers Jodi Put NFP in your post if it is not for publication.
