Coins, scotch tape and a matchbox: Ordinary things that can be useful for in a hotel
Sometimes it's worth taking small, everyday items that don't take up much space with you on vacation as they will definitely come in handy while staying in a hotel room.
For this purpose, you can use ordinary coins, scotch tape, or a matchbox, Obsev writes.
Use tape to block out bright lights
Falling asleep in unfamiliar surroundings can be a challenge, especially if you have a lot of distractions. What's the solution when the flashing lights of your room's smoke detector and other electronic devices keep you awake? Take some duct tape and cover those annoying flashing lights. The next day, when you're enjoying a good night's rest, you can easily remove the tape.
Plug the drain with coins
If you're exhausted from a day of travelling and all you need is a relaxing bath in your cosy hotel room but the bathroom drain plug is nowhere to be found, just grab a plastic bag and some coins. Place the plastic bag on the drain and carefully drop a few coins into it to secure the bag. Now all you have to do is start filling the tub with water and you can enjoy a rejuvenating bath.
Use a matchbox to file your nails
Most hotels are strictly non-smoking, but it is interesting to note that some establishments continue to offer free matchboxes. They can serve as an improvised nail file. The matchlock surface and a regular nail file are made up of the same materials, providing a safe and effective solution for quick nail correction even if you forgot to bring your own file.
Make a face scrub with sugar and lotion
Enjoy a budget-friendly do-it-yourself facial that works wonders! Just raid your hotel room for some sugar and a bottle of lotion. Combine these simple ingredients by pouring the sugar into the lotion bottle, creating a homemade facial scrub. Gently apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for a minute before rinsing. Experience the instant magic of a smoother, more rejuvenated complexion.
Don't forget your keys or charger
If you're the type of person who forgets to take your phone charger when you leave your hotel room, this life hack is for you. By tying your keys to the charger, you'll need to grab it if you want to leave your room for the road. You can even wrap the cord around your wallet if you want to make sure you don't forget anything.
