This will save you a little bit of trouble on the roadways.

We all have had those moments where we get into our vehicle, especially in cold weather, and start driving down the road. Everything is going great until your windshield begins to fog. I've heard so many people say that they don't know what to do in that situation. Do they turn the heat or the AC on? Some people begin to panic, and rightfully so. Once your windshield gets foggy, it makes it difficult to see and it takes a bit for it to clear up.

I was today years old when I found out about a life hack that will solve that problem for you. Rather than having to fix the fog when it happens, this hack will prevent it all together. This hack is very quick and easy to do, and all you need is some shaving cream.

How To Use Shaving Cream To Prevent Your Windshield From Fogging

As I said, this is really easy to do. Just smear shaving cream on the inside of your windshield and then wipe it off. This will leave a thin layer of shaving cream coating on your windshield. Shaving cream contains similar anti-fogging solutions that commercial defoggers have.

This hack will also work on your glasses too. We all know that walking into an environment that is drastically hotter or colder than the one you just walked out of can cause your glasses to fog. Smear shaving cream on your lenses and you won't have that problem. Just repeat as needed.

10 Other Uses for Hand Sanitizer

I discovered hand sanitizer's ability to be more than just a germ-killing product one morning while making coffee in the kitchen at work. While pouring myself a cup from a full pot, a small stream dribbled down the side of the pot and onto the white countertop. I wiped it up with a paper towel, but a light brown stain still remained. A tried a disinfectant wipe which helped a little, but you could still faintly see where the dribble had landed. Then I remembered having alcohol wipes at one point during the pandemic. They had been used up and not replaced for some time, but there was still a bottle of hand sanitizer sitting out. I squirted a little on the stain, wiped over it with a paper towel, and boom, the countertop looked brand new. This got my curious mind wondering if there was anything else I could use it for, so it was off to the internet to see what I could find. It turns out, thanks to its high concentration of ethanol or isopropyl alcohol, hand sanitizer can be used for all sorts of things.

Coffee Creamer is the Secret Ingredient

I love coffee. It's pretty much the ONLY thing that makes mornings worth getting up for. As Lorelei Gilmore once said, I think I was coffee in another life. And one thing I love to put in my coffee is fancy creamers! This might be a shock to some, but I prefer at-home brew with CoffeeMate over drive-thru lattes. Sorry but not really sorry.

Did you know that there is MORE to do with coffee creamer though than just sticking it in coffee? It's actually a secret ingredient...
