Taking vitamins every day is an important investment for many people, but these pricey supplements can go to waste if you store them in the wrong place. According to CBS News, it's important to keep your vitamins away from high heat and humid places. That includes on countertops or cabinets near stoves, dishwashers or in bathrooms used for showers. Not only can they go bad, but the chemical composition of the vitamins can change, too. Store your supplements in a cool, dry place, like inside a pantry or in a drawer in a powder room, for easy access and safe storage.

Plumbers can agree: Tree roots that infiltrate your pipes can cause a massive problem for your entire home's plumbing system. One thing you can do to prevent tree roots from growing in your pipes: Flush rock salt down your toilet. Once a month, pour a cup of rock salt into your toilet and let the mixture dissolve overnight. In the morning, flush the toilet. The salty mixture will come in contact with tree roots and naturally kill them. This monthly habit can go a long way in keeping your pipes clean, healthy and free of any tree roots.

If you've moved your workout routine from a gym to something indoors at your own home, there's no need to buy pricey equipment; you can use things you already have. One of the easiest DIY workout hacks is to reuse empty laundry detergent bottles as weights. Just fill them with water and tightly screw the cap back on. Depending on the size, these detergent bottle weights can equal around 8 pounds. And since they have a handle, they make convenient free weight and kettlebell replacements.
