45 Life Hacks That Will Change Your Life

Today we wanted to know what you do to make life a little easier.  So we asked you what the coolest life hack you know for our #TQOTD.

Before we get to the lifehacks that you sent in, Steve shared a couple.  First he said he puts old newspaper or other garbage paper in the bottom of his trash so that his trash bag juice doesn't leak.  And second he said that he tapes his daughter's door knob open so she can't lock herself in her room.

OK, now on to your answers.
