Living solo can make a few nagging home and kitchen issues even more frustrating than when you have someone around to help. Here's how to make some of that stuff easier (though overall these are small prices to pay for never having to wear pants around the house).
Open a stubborn jar using rubber bands.
Place one rubber band around the lid, and another around the jar. With one hand, grip the jar where the rubber band encircles it; use the other hand to twist off the lid. The rubber bands provide friction, so your hands won't slip off the jar or lid.

Use a mason jar to store leftover wine.
Make sure the wine overflows so the jar is completely filled and no air gets into the wine. It'll store in the fridge for a week. (No judgements if you're the type who can down an entire bottle of wine by yourself.)

Keep a bottle of soda from going flat.
Once you're done with your soda for the day, shake it up before putting it back in the fridge. It'll stay fizzy for weeks.
