CafeMom.com rocked out summer life hacks that are pretty weird and not so useful. Some were OK in my book so figured I'd share.

1.  Freeze ice cubes of aloe vera.  Then your kids can rub them on their skin after they've been in the sun. you can eat them... but like, yuck.  Or just the whole bottle of aloe in the fridge.

2.  Freeze a bunch of water balloons and you've just made your own ice packs for your coolers.  Then you can have a water balloon fight after they melt.  Just make sure they're melted before you start throwing fast balls at your kid's face.

3.  Make a frozen necklace to keep your kids cool.  Just cut up a sponge and thread some string through all the pieces like popcorn on thread at Christmas. Wet them down and put it in the freezer.  If you aren't the crafty type you can soak a small towel and freeze that thing.

4.  At the pool or the beach, roll and stash your money in an empty tube of chapstick.  Because who wants someone else's chapstick that's been sitting in the sun?

how the heck?? ok... screw the chapstick all the way out of the can and throw it at your enemy. Leave the rod in place.  Dolla bills fit around it.  Just clean it out really well first, or you'll have wax covered Dolla Dolla Bills Ya'll.
