You need to know this.....

Have you every found yourself upside down trying to drink a glass of water in a desperate attempt to get rid of the hiccups? Or have you every worried about your breath after having that garlic bread? Have you made desperate attempts to utilize your girl or boy scout skills to build a fire only to have a breeze come through to shatter your dreams? Well my friends, look no further, we are sharing our solutions to life's little yet burdensome situations.

First things first, did you know that mosquitos love stagnant bodies of water and we had massive flooding this summer..... they also love small children annnddd...... the littlest spot in the middle of your back that you can not freaking reach in the middle of the night because your arm is 1 centimeter too short to reach it?!?!? I knew all this and if your human you did too! Follow these few hacks and SashSam you have a solution to some of life's little problems.

So here's where we help the hack:

-------> Press a hot spoon on any itchy bite, the heat stops the reaction and the itching freaking stops!!!!! I tried this, with my kids and myself and SashSam it worked. No more anti itch cream to apply to spots you can reach, if you really need to get a serving spoon, longer handle, equals relief of those hard to reach spots! (disclaimer: please to not make the spoon scolding hot where you or your child will suffer a burn from a hot metal spoon, DCFS does not like said incidents and nor do I like your stupidity. If you are not sure if it is to hot or not, it is probably too hot..)

Next up, this one could possibly apply to the men in our lives. It is a well known fact some men are embarrassed by purchasing specific items at grocery stores *cough cough tampons* Well no fear, this hack will save you the embarrassment and work for practically anything you don't want to admit your buying.

Hack:

--------> Purchase a birthday card with item!! This works fantastic. men for those sanitary napkins grab a birthday card it now looks like a prank on your friend. This literally can be applied to any awkward purchase, Monistat, condoms....... come on it's genius.. you're welcome! (disclaimer: I do not recommended buying a romantic card and condoms and Monistat all at the same time or even one or the other, this in fact will ruin the hack and possibly your reputation)

While I have the attention of the male followers, this one might work for you when you need to impress that special lady friend, with a romantic night by the fire, especially with fall arriving sooner than you think. We've all seen the candles that even when you blow like the big bad wolf, they don't go out, *much funnier when its not you doing the blowing* Well turn that frown upside down....

Here's the Hack:

-------> KEEP them, use them to start a campfire, even if the wind picks up they will still flame!! YESS!!! why didn't they have these in girl scouts? Shit, I could have used some a few weekends ago... and more often then I myself would like to admit.

Next up:

Just the other weekend, while leaving the race track I found myself with a horrendous case of the hiccups, nothing helped. In a desperate attempt to rid myself of this nuisance I stood in the parking lot, attempting to be upside down and drink water at the same time. Do you know what this looks like, try to imagine, me bent at the waist, in the middle of the fairgrounds, attempting to try and drink out of a bottle of water, all while hiccupping.. I was not Looking especially intelligent and it didn't work. Let me save you from sharing the same embarrassment I suffered...

Hack:

---------> The best way to rid yourself of hiccups is to try and FORCE yourself to hiccup. Fake it, we all have, now it is needed!!! Force yourself to hiccup a fake hiccup in between hiccups and you will no longer be hiccupping or standing upside ... Win!!!

Although, I have many more to share, I will end with one of my favorites, the bad breath hack. We've all been there, we've all feared it.

Hack:

--------> Lick your wrist and elbow then smell it. This is what others are suffering through. Fix it!!

ok, so maybe you didn't need to lick your elbow or attempt to, I just wanted to see how many of you tried it. But seriously, if you lick your wrist and smell it, you will get a prime sampling of what your breath smells like. (tip: lick privately, you may get some weird stares on this one)

This is just a sampling of things I have read, or thought of or ya know needed at one point. I will not confirm or deny if I have used all of these. However, I did in fact like my wrist, its ok you did too!

With the weekend coming up I thought these tips were appropriate to share, after all it could be someone's "birthday" and you need a card *wink wink* with a funny gift *wink wink* with the prankster candles to start the fire your going to use to seduce that special someone...... again your welcome.

Happy Friday!
