When it comes to budgeting, it’s not always so simple, as you need to be very detail-oriented with your money and spending. Why not use a Zip Lock organizer to label and organize the expenses needed for the month? Ziplock organizers are available in multiple sizes on Shopee

Cooking with butter is always a hassle as it is usually frozen, and would take a long time to defrost. This butter hack would help (if you don’t have a microwave oven at home). Fill a tall glass with hot water, then drain it. Place the glass on top of your butter and wait 5-7 minutes for your butter to soften.

Face masks are now an essential part of our daily wear. Storing masks in your car’s glove compartment is ideal, but it’s a hassle and quite dangerous if you are driving to your destination to fish one out. Use a tissue dispenser to store your face masks and you can place it at the pull out shades of your car to have easier access to them.
There are a lot of wonderful hacks from all over the internet to make our COVID-19 lockdown a little less boring. Who knows what the hack trends of 2022 would be?
