Today we’re talking about summer hacks. I love a great hack that makes my life easier and these are all perfect for summer.

Use dryer sheets to keep the mosquitoes away. Put them in your pocket, place them in jars around you – you can even rub them all over your clothes and skin if you don’t have sensitive skin.

Keep flies away from your outdoor party with glasses of water and pennies. I’m not sure how or why this works but it actually seems to work.

Cloves and lemon also keep flies and bugs from invading your patio.

Rinse bathing suits in cool water right after wearing them so they don’t fade. I’m not sure if this is really a summer hack but I think it’s a great tip especially if you live at the pool and beach during the summer. And we all know how hard it is to find a bathing suit we love – we need to make sure they last as long as possible!

Spray your patio furniture with vinegar to clean them and prevent mold during the summer season.

Mom, this tip is for you! Fill balloons with water and freeze them to keep your drinks chill. No need to buy bags of ice! And you can reuse them over and over again. I also like how it add color to your drink bin.

Use a muffin tin for condiments. I think I shared this idea a few years ago and I still love it!

Place a marshmallow into the bottom of an ice cream cone to keep the ice cream from dripping out the bottom. Am I the last person to discover this summer hack?
