Friday Frivolity, WIT Life Hacks Edition

At last week's party, we found some of the craziest superstitions out there.

This week, we're looking at insane life hacks. 

(Yes, I did change my title from the typical ...TF ending to WIT - which, of course, stands for WHAT IN TARNATION??!!)

I immediately thought of those ridiculous "shortcuts" people take that are way more involved than just sticking with the original method (I will now try to refrain from mentioning anything about 2nd-grade Common Core math strategies), but then I ended up going a different direction...





My first thought when I saw this was how much easier it would have been to hide my food in one of these boxes, rather than my locked suitcase, each summer while sharing a home with ten other skaters!



Uh, yeah, like I really believe something this simple would totally get rid of unwanted hair.

(I may or may not be walking around with coffee legs next week!)



I couldn't stop laughing at the "if you're buried alive" one, but I actually think they might be serious...



I don't know if I can ever un-see that dog fanny pack.

But that's okay, because it's just too funny.



The salt & pepper shaker magic wands just made me giggle!







Now, on to the link-up!
