There is more than one way to skin a cat—and to open a can. Obviously, using a can opener is first choice. But if you find yourself without one, there is still a way to crack the case.

A Spoon

Chances are you will need a spoon to eat whatever is in the tin, so you may as well use it to get the thing open. Holding the can firmly on a stable surface, place the edge of a spoon against the rim of the can’s lid. Apply pressure while moving the spoon around the edge until it weakens. 

A Stone

Tap into your inner caveman (or woman) by using a flat stone to pry open the can. Create friction by running the stone along the edge of the lid in an attempt to make a hole. This method also works with an abrasive surface like rough concrete, but it does require a fair amount of patience. 

Heat

You know that sensation of anger bubbling in your body and feeling like you might burst? This method uses the same principle. Place the can in the flames of a fire or in a pot of boiling water. The heat will cause the liquid inside to expand and create pressure, eventually forcing the lid to pop open.

Some things make your kitchen smell amazing: fresh bread, garlic, cupcakes. Other things, like fish, not so much… We love the taste of fried fish but cooking it can seriously stink up your kitchen for days to come.

If you’re torn between creating the crunchy classic and having a home that smells like a fish market, we’re pretty sure you’re going to love this TikTok hack. 

Step #1

Assemble a selection of spices. Cinnamon is a good option as it is strong and aromatic. You can use sticks or ground cinnamon (or both). Vanilla extract, lemon, lavender, and cloves, also work well. 

Step #2

Fill a small saucepan halfway with water, being mindful not to overfill the pot. Add a generous amount of cinnamon, a tablespoon of vanilla extract, and the juice of one lemon. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.

Step #3

Start frying your fish by heating a stainless steel or non-stick skillet with an oil that has a high smoking point, like canola or sunflower seed oil. Once hot, add your fish to the pan. While you are frying, make sure to stir your cinnamon mixture so that it does not boil over. The cinnamon scent should largely cover the smell of seafood both during cooking and after you’re done.

  5. Leave the mixture for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soak. 
  6. Transfer the mixture into a baking tin lined with greased baking paper.

Let’s be honest, do we really know what cosmetic companies are putting in their skincare? It can be totally intimidating to read that long list of ingredients on the back of the bottle without a degree in chemistry. So, forget store-bought skincare and make your own.

Step #1

Place about 10 washed grapes in a blender with a few sprigs of mint. Blend until smooth.

Step #2

Once liquidized, strain the mixture using a cheesecloth or coffee filter. You should be left with a clear, greenish liquid.

Step #3

Transfer the liquid to a bottle and store it in the fridge. Apply the toner to your face using a cotton pad. The vitamins and antioxidants in the grapes will give your skin a glow, while mint has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help to unblock pores. The toner also helps with scars and blemishes, fights acne, and restores elasticity to the skin.

France pretty much reaches capacity during the summer months when tourists from all over the world come to enjoy the cobblestone streets and croissants. But TikTok has let us in on a whole other reason to head to the European country.

Dozens of TikTok users have revealed just how many great skincare products can be found in French pharmacies.

Some of the top brands in the world come from France, including Caudalie, Biafine, and La Roche Posay. But, sadly, not all items in their range are available in the US, so it makes sense that beauty influencers would stock up when in Le République.

“I’m back in Paris, you guys know the drill. The first stop was the pharmacy,” declares @glowwithava before showing us all the goodies she picked up.

@glowwithava Replying to @the.nail.tripper first stop always! stocking up on my favs 🇫🇷🇫🇷 i may go back for more… #frenchpharmacy #frenchpharmacyhaul #frenchpharmacymusthaves #frenchskincare #frenchbeauty #avainparis #europeansunscreen #pharmacyhaul ♬ original sound – AVA

“[This is] every make-up artist’s favorite moisturizer before make-up,” she says about the Lait-Crème Concentré by Embroylisse.

Ava, who has 1.7 million followers on the social media platform, also made sure to get sunscreens from Caudalie and La Roche Posay which cannot be found in the United States, plus some items from Eucerin’s hyaluronic filler range.

Other TikTokers have also revealed that some products are $20-30 cheaper than they cost in the States.

Seems to us like a good reason to go on vacation!

What is it with nail trends and food? We’re not quite sure, but we’re here for it!

All credit has to go to Hailey Bieber who got us started on glazed donut nails that were good enough to eat. Since those sparklers, we’ve seen the chocolate-glazed version, juicy nails, jelly nails, and now… iced coffee nails. 

Before you do a spit-take with your latte, take a listen.

Iced coffees are basically what have gotten us through the scorching summer. Whether you’re making your own or stopping off at your favorite coffee shop, there is something blissful about ice cubes, cold brew, and a swirl of milk. 

And now you can replicate that on your nails. 

Use brown and cream polishes to create a marbled effect.

You’re aiming for abstract swirls with neutral tones. And the best news is, there is no right or wrong way to do it. In fact, let your coffee be your inspiration.

Dot shades of brown, white, and cream gel polish on your nails in a wispy fashion. If you prefer your coffee strong, go harder with the browns, and even add a dash of black if espresso is your thing.

As much as we enjoy spending time in the kitchen, we love a good hack that cuts cooking time in half or just makes things simpler.

  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions:

  1. Lightly spray a ramekin dish with non-stick cooking spray and pour in the beaten eggs.

Vintage enthusiasts have known about the wonder of pearls for years, but the rest of us are now catching up. We may have to thank Harry Styles for bringing pearls back into the conversation (and proving that they are for everyone), but who can forget Kim Kardashian’s Schiaparelli gown at the 2023 Met Gala? Either way, pearls are the trend of the season and we are so here for it!

Necklace

The most timeless way to wear pearls is, of course, as a necklace. Yet, whereas you may feel that a simple string is outdated, you can modernize the classic by wearing pearls of different sizes and layering your necklaces.

Clothing

Pearls are a fabulous way to elevate a simple sweater or add some glam to a cardigan. Mix and match with staple pieces like a T-shirt and sneakers, or give your jeans outfit a glow-up by wearing some pearl-embellished shoes.

Headband

Not ready to dive into deep waters? That’s okay. Embrace your pearls in a subtle way. Try out a headband made of pearls, or one that has a few of the beauties sewn into the fabric. You’ll look chic while keeping your hair out of your eyes.

France pretty much reaches capacity during the summer months when tourists from all over the world come to enjoy the cobblestone streets and croissants. But TikTok has let us in on a whole other reason to head to the European country.

Dozens of TikTok users have revealed just how many great skincare products can be found in French pharmacies.

Some of the top brands in the world come from France, including Caudalie, Biafine, and La Roche Posay. But, sadly, not all items in their range are available in the US, so it makes sense that beauty influencers would stock up when in Le République.

Ava, who has 1.7 million followers on the social media platform, also made sure to get sunscreens from Caudalie and La Roche Posay which cannot be found in the United States, plus some items from Eucerin’s hyaluronic filler range.

Other TikTokers have also revealed that some products are $20-30 cheaper than they cost in the States.

Seems to us like a good reason to go on vacation!

What is it with nail trends and food? We’re not quite sure, but we’re here for it!

All credit has to go to Hailey Bieber who got us started on glazed donut nails that were good enough to eat. Since those sparklers, we’ve seen the chocolate-glazed version, juicy nails, jelly nails, and now… iced coffee nails. 

Before you do a spit-take with your latte, take a listen.

Iced coffees are basically what have gotten us through the scorching summer. Whether you’re making your own or stopping off at your favorite coffee shop, there is something blissful about ice cubes, cold brew, and a swirl of milk. 

And now you can replicate that on your nails. 

Use brown and cream polishes to create a marbled effect.

You’re aiming for abstract swirls with neutral tones. And the best news is, there is no right or wrong way to do it. In fact, let your coffee be your inspiration.

Dot shades of brown, white, and cream gel polish on your nails in a wispy fashion. If you prefer your coffee strong, go harder with the browns, and even add a dash of black if espresso is your thing.

As much as we enjoy spending time in the kitchen, we love a good hack that cuts cooking time in half or just makes things simpler.

Instructions:

  1. Lightly spray a ramekin dish with non-stick cooking spray and pour in the beaten eggs.
  2. Set the air fryer to 370°F and place the ramekin into the air fryer basket.
  3. Air fry for 3 minutes, then stir the egg mixture and cook for another 3 minutes. Fluff with a fork and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Vintage enthusiasts have known about the wonder of pearls for years, but the rest of us are now catching up. We may have to thank Harry Styles for bringing pearls back into the conversation (and proving that they are for everyone), but who can forget Kim Kardashian’s Schiaparelli gown at the 2023 Met Gala? Either way, pearls are the trend of the season and we are so here for it!

Necklace

The most timeless way to wear pearls is, of course, as a necklace. Yet, whereas you may feel that a simple string is outdated, you can modernize the classic by wearing pearls of different sizes and layering your necklaces.

Clothing

Pearls are a fabulous way to elevate a simple sweater or add some glam to a cardigan. Mix and match with staple pieces like a T-shirt and sneakers, or give your jeans outfit a glow-up by wearing some pearl-embellished shoes.

Headband

Not ready to dive into deep waters? That’s okay. Embrace your pearls in a subtle way. Try out a headband made of pearls, or one that has a few of the beauties sewn into the fabric. You’ll look chic while keeping your hair out of your eyes.
