Life Hacks You May Not Have Seen Before
Who doesn't love a good life hack? We all like a good life hack, especially if it's one that is actually a good idea that is going to make life easier. I've tried out a fair number of life hacks, and not all of them work for me, but the great thing about the internet is that there will never be a shortage of new ones to try out.

Keep That Burger Grease For Your Bacon
So this life hack isn't one that's great for your health, but we all like a burger once in a while.
If you eat your burger over a few pieces of bacon or fries, that grease will drip down and make them that much tastier.
Privacy Without Blocking The Light
If you've started working from home recently and want a little more privacy from a window, a quick way to fix that is putting up some wax paper.
It lets the light in but keeps the creepers out.

If you don't want to have your ice cream get freezer burned, then a good way to avoid that is putting your ice cream in a big Ziploc bag!

Just in case you have really messy hands and you don't want to touch the whole roll.

Those paper holders that drinks come in when you order delivery are perfect for storing all your condiments!
That way you can easily carry them from one place to another.
Never Unplug The Wrong Thing Again

These people have started writing the names of the device on the plug.
