From endless Mason Jars that need to be put to good use, to diminishing recipe prep time, and even getting rid of pesky ice on your windshield…life hacks can save you time and increase your cleverness. While there are multiple universal life hacks, I think these twelve apply to the North Carolinian in us all.
Decorating Mason Jars, peeling hard-boiled eggs, and saving some bacon grease…try these twelve hacks to make your life easier!

Flickr / Euan In the warmer months we like to open our windows and let in the fresh air. But we might start seeing fruit flies, and once you see one, you know there are more. To get rid of this problem fast, pour one-fourth cup of apple cider vinegar into a small, wide-mouth container. Add a couple drops of dishwashing liquid to capture the flies and ensure they can’t find their way out. Place close to the infestation. They will be gone within a day or two.
