Hang an old pillow case on your dirty ceiling fan blade and slowly pull off with each hand on either side of the blade. All of the dust and dirt will end up inside the pillow case instead of on you and your bed! Sadly this picture is my ceiling fan in my bedroom. I had been putting off cleaning it because I didn't want to get dust in my eyes and on my bed. THIS WORKED! So excited to know about this amazing life-hack. Happy Tangle-Free Tuesday! Love your bud, Maddie #cleaning

Running late in the morning and don’t have time to iron your outfit? NO problem! Just throw your shirt and pants in the dryer for 10 minutes on high heat with a couple of ice cubes and WALLAH! No more wrinkles. Happy Tangle-Free Tuesday. #lifehack #untangleyourlife #tft #threadbuds #timesaver

We LOVE all of your Facebook videos. It is, however, annoying to scroll through your minifeed and lag every 5 seconds because your computer is automatically trying to play videos. You can keep them from automatically playing by going to www.facebook.com/settings and then going to "videos" and switching the tab to off. Happy Facebook stalking and TFT! Love always, -Maddie #facebook #facebookstalker #videos #automatic #off #untangleyourlife #timesaver #tft #lifehack

Some of you may already know this but I had no idea. If you pay close attention while you are driving you will notice that the postition of the highway's exit sign indicates which side you will exit on. Coming from someone who is terrible with directions (and driving in general), this lifehack has saved me SO many times from missing my exit. Happy Tangle-Free Tuesday everyone and drive safely. Love always, Maddie #tft #tanglefree #lifehack #nomoreroadrage #earbuds #tanglefre

I've got to be completely honest with you, I've never really hated skunks until this weekend. In fact, I always thought they were kind of cute. And besides that awful odor you smell from time to time, I've never had a person run-in with a skunk. Sunday night Nick and I came home and our house smelled like someone had chopped up 1,000 onions and cooked them up with 500 cloves of garlic. It was disgusting and we had no idea what the smell was from. We sniffed around for awhile

This week's TangleFree Tuesday is for all you movie buffs out there! My husband loves seeing movies more than most people I know. For me, unless it’s the Notebook starring Ryan Goesling, I can wait until it comes out on DVD. But there is something about watching a film on that big screen that Nick can’t get enough of. The thing that I hate is seeing that $24 price tag for two tickets when we get to the ticket counter. Recently, someone told me about buying movie tickets in bu

I actually got to see a lifehack unfold in front of my eyes this week. I had the pleasure of having corn on the cobb twice in two days and oddly enough, both were prepared two different ways. On Sunday my mom prepared it the good ol' fashioned way. She shucked the corn (mess everywhere) and then boiled it for 10 minutes (twice, because no pan is big enough to boil 10 pieces of corn). Last night, my friend blew my mind. She put the corn in the microwave for 4 minutes, took it

It is HOT during the summer and there is no better way to refresh yourself than an ice cold drink. My verve shipment showed up on my porch this morning and I was dying for a cold one. My hubs had told me about a hack last week and I decided to give it a whirl. What you do is take a drink around room temperature and wrap it in a wet paper towel. Then you pop it in the freezer for about 15 minutes and BOOM you got yourself an iced cold drink. I suggest trying it with a beer to

The blender in the Paradise house gets tons of use. Smoothies and protein shakes frequent our daily routines but the worst part is always the cleanup. My wife finds this part especially frustrating... at least that's what I gather from the blender always being dirty after she uses it. I found this great life hack and it takes 30 seconds. Toss in a little soap, add some water and blend. Empty... rinse.... boom! All clean. -Nick #blender #lifehack #tanglefreetuesday #tft #
