7 interesting Summer life hacks and DIY?


Summer is here once again!
Because of that, I've been finding various life hacks/DIY for summer (or whatever you want to call all of this)
They are from all over the internet or someone told me.
I decided to show you what I thought would be interesting for you to know (if you don't already!) and feel free to try them!


When summer arrives, some beautiful creatures come with it. I'm talking now about the great mosquitoes. The small compact version of a vampire.

For the repellent you need some limes and cloves.
You only have to take the lime, cut it in half and press in the cloves (I guess the more the better?)
In theory mosquitoes are repelled by citrus, so you could use lemons or oranges instead (that's what my mother told me).
And there you have it, a natural way to keep them away!


As easy as taking a yogurt you like, and sticking that.. stick? haha
And you can enjoy it as a popsicle, it is very refreshing and nice in Summer.


Whenever you have to go outside for a picnic or the beach and you have some drink on your glass/cup but it doesn't have a lid... you don't know when or how but there you have it, a small bug drowning in your delicious drink.
You can avoid this by putting a cupcake liner! Tight it up with an elastic if you need it and insert a straw. Now you can easily drink from it without fearing that your drink becomes a swimming pool for bugs.
For popsicle lovers. You can use it under your popsicles so it doesn't run through your hand when it starts melting (But keep some tissues around. I wouldn't trust it very much!)

I saw this great idea long time ago and it all made sense for this time of the year.
Take some balloons and fill them up.
Then take some chocolate, melt it and if you want you can put white chocolate with a little bit of colour to make them look more funny.
Dip the balloons into the chocolate (be careful, they might pop!), put them to dry on plates or an oven paper sheet.
And when it dries, just pop and remove them and there you go!
Take some icecream and you have delicious icecream with eatable bowls!



Put some aloe gel into an ice tray, let them freeze and they are perfect for sunburns! It is refreshing and calming!

With a round pegboard it is pretty easy to do these coasters. And they have the perfect design for summer, don't they?
