Ow.

Do cookies really get that hard after leaving them out for one night?

Time to get the bread.

Hey guys!

It's Rachel.

Well, it's 2:00 A.M. Rachel.

It's a little different than 2:00 P.M. Rachel,

but still Rachel.

So I'm currently having a giveaway

where I give away this MacBook Air and a Hoverboard.

The only rule for this giveaway that you must be subscribed.

That's the only rule, because I just want

to give back to my subscribers.

And this giveaway ends on December 27,

so find out if you won on that date.

Also, let's see if we can get this video to 3,000 likes.

And comment down below which one of these weird Christmas life

hacks you like the most.

OK.

Let's get on with the video.

Life hack number one.

You see this lovely kind of Christmas tree that I got going on here?

Well, this is a problem that I'm pretty sure everyone has.

See these lights?

They are not on.

And they are plugged in.

See?

It's not like they're not on because they're all broken.

I know that they all work because

I bought these yesterday.

The problem at hand is one of these bulbs are missing.

And if you have a tree that's bigger than this,

it's going to take a very long time

to go through every single light to figure out which light's missing.

So if you want to figure out which light bulb is missing out of all of these,

of all of these, all you've got to do

is just take this volt detector.

And just scan over the areas, and then it

will beep when there is voltage.

But when there's no voltage, it will stop beeping.

So you know the general area of where it stops.

Because even if there's a missing light,

the rest of the lights still have voltage in them.

It's just the ones that come after the missing light that

don't have voltage in them.

And you can literally get this from any hardware store for $6

and use it every year to figure out

which light is the broken one.

And then to fix a light bulb, if you don't physically

have a new light bulb, just unplug everything,

and then take a piece of aluminum foil

and shape it into kind of an oval shape,

and press it deep into little socket for the bulb.

You just need the two metal pieces

on the inside of the bulb to be connected.

And the aluminum foil will connect them.

Just turn on the light and then all the lights will turn on.

If you like giving presents but you suck at wrapping,

to the point where every single time

you give someone a gift you have to literally apologize

for the way you wrapped the gift-- I got you a gift,

but I'm really sorry.

The wrapping's terrible.

I'm not good at wrapping.

That's you.

That's literally you.

Just wrap it like a Hershey Kiss.

All you need is a sheet of aluminum foil.

And then take a sheet of tissue paper

and just completely crumble up the gift in the tissue paper.

And then wrap the aluminum foil up, and then just kind of twist it.

And then you also have to write a little card.

So cut a strip of white paper out,

and then write whatever you want on the card.

And then open up the foil on the top.

And put the little card in, and then twist it.

And you have a little Hershey Kiss.

And you can literally do this with any item.

So here I'll do it with a square box.

Here I'll do it with literally a blow dryer.

See, it doesn't matter how ugly it is,

because they'll think it's supposed to look like that.

And it is the easiest thing ever.

This was a square box.

These were lip glosses.

This is a blow dryer.

You literally turn anything into a Hershey Kiss.

If you live in a small apartment or somewhere that just doesn't

have a fireplace, and you want to make a fireplace,

just find a bunch of boxes.

And just place them like this.

One on top of the other here.

Here, and one right here, but tape it up.

Now you have to cover it with plain white paper.

You could use tape or glue, but I found this adhesive spray.

So just spray the glue on, and just put pieces of paper

over it so you can cover it up completely.

And then take some red brick colored paper and cut out brick

sized pieces of paper.

And then glue those on every other one like this.

Kind of like in the shape of a brick.

And if some pieces don't fit,

just cut it off or glue it to the side.

And you're done.

And now you've got a cute little portable fireplace

for apartments and stuff.

You can hang your stockings and put some candles up.

If you want to have a fire behind it,

you can make this projector.

You just need a plain shoe box and a magnifying glass.

So just trace the magnifying glass

to see where you need to cut, and cut that part of the shoe

box out from the front side.

And then just cut off the piece of the magnifying glass that's a stick,

and then tape the regular circular part

of the magnifying glass on.

And then just take your cell phone

and find a YouTube video or something of a fireplace.

And then put it in the center of the box

and turn off the lights.

Just make sure that the video itself is upside down.

And it'll project the fireplace onto the fireplace.

And you can literally play whatever you want on it.

Did you get me my present yet?

See, this is a perfect situation where

if you didn't get a present, you could find out exactly what

she wants right now, by just saying, yeah, I did, actually.

It's like literally the best present

you're ever going to get.

Wait.

What is it?

And then when they say that, just say,

I'm not going to tell you.

But if you guess it, then I'll tell you.

And now they're going to start guessing every single gift that they've ever wanted.

And now you won't get them a bad Christmas gift.

A mountain bike.

The new OPI nail polish.

MAC lipstick.

It's the dream.

Ow.

If your Christmas cookies are really hard,

just because you left them out or you overcooked them

just a bit, all you need to do is put

the cookies in a Ziploc bag.

And then take bread.

Yeah, bread.

And then break up the pieces of bread

and put them in the Ziploc bag with it.

The cookies are going to soak up all the moisture from the bread.

And then after a couple of hours,

or overnight I just left it, cookies will literally be soft.

So basically you just got to get bread near your cookies

and they'll become soft.

I don't know many people deal with this,

but if you get tree sap anywhere on your body,

a way to get it off is to just take toothpaste and

just wipe it on the tree sap.

I kid you not, it comes off right away.

Oh, lovely.
