Fluteiful Lifehacks 2

• Setting your lipstick with a powder prevents it from sticking to your instrument. 

• Hem too long? Just pin it up as needed with the latch side towards you. 

• Soak reeds in mouthwash to improve the taste.

• Coconut oil is instant lip moisture and a gentle makeup remover. 

• Powder your hands if you get sweaty hands. 

•  Take your instrument(s) and music in a tote bag. 

•  For my vocalists: Tea with honey. Enough said. 

•  Comfort grips work wonders for shoes that are too big. 

•  Technically not a lifehack, but make sure your shoes have adequate arch support! If not, you will suffer from random foot cramps. 

•  Since marching season is coming up, I thought I'd address how convenient a wearable water bottle can be. Chances are, you can use a carabiner clip or a rubber band to wear a normal water bottle. 

•  Flutists, shake your hands out during rests if your fingers lock. It releases them like a charm.
