Our moms are the people that teach us life lessons from the time we are birthed. They show us how to eat, how to clean, how to brush our teeth, and tie our shoes.

Then when we get older we still rely on our mothers to show us all types of adulthood things like how to separate laundry, tricks to get stains out of carpet, and how to sign up for our first credit card. Thinking about everything that a mom does for us makes us think about those that don't have that figure in their life.

What would we do without mothers? Well, for starters we wouldn't know all of the random life things that mothers teach us.

This woman decided to take it upon herself and shared a video on TikTok showing 16 things that your mom never taught you. This video had the goal to show life tricks, advice, and tips that you may have never heard or were taught.

Her videos were a hit and she decided to make more and more videos sharing these amazing life tips and tricks for people. She became the TikTok mom that we all needed.

Here are 16 things that your mom never taught you.

1. The way to fold a towel to keep it clean and neat looking

"Everyone has their own method to folding, this is my favourite way to fold towels. You are going to want to fold in half, hamburger style, then fold in half again. Next, fold into thirds and flip."

2. Laundry tips

"Your detergent bottle will tell you which line to fill to. Mine is the top line.

Put in the detergent first. Then load your clothes.

Don't pack them too tight, you want the clothes to be able to swish around. For this kind of load, a medium soil, warm water, and normal cycle is just fine."

3. Distilled water is best

"Vinegar is an inexpensive, versitile, and natural cleaning product. it is antibacterial and antifungal. It's acidity dissolves gunk and hard water build up. It also eliminates fabric odors."

4. People came in with the comments.

5. How to make the perfect eggs

"I find it easiest to prep your eggs in a big bowl. It is best to use a wisk, but mine is broken so today I'm using a fork.

Next, it is great to add some milk or cream, which can keep your eggs a little softer. Then add a small slice of butter to a pan on medium-low.

I like to use a flexible spatula to fold the eggs around. Let them sit for a minute then fold around again.

Add salt, pepper, and some grated colby cheese. Fold around again."

6. Face washing tips

"Make a little swmming pool with your hands to gently wet your skin. Try to match your cleanser to your skin type: normal, dry, oily, combination, or sensitive.

Make your little swimming pool again to rinse and pat dry. Toner helps wipe any leftover impurities and prep the skin for serum.

Serums are highly concentrated with ingredients to give your skin whatever boost it needs. Don't forget your neck.

Moisturize for your skin type as well.Lastly is a facial sunscreen.

Sun damage takes 10-20 years to appear. Wear your sunscreen."

7. Here's some of her viral TikToks.

9. Airport advice and tips for flying

"Make sure your bags are packed following airport rules. Many airlines have an app to check in ahead of time.

Get familiar with your gate number and terminal. When first arriving to the airport, get dropped off at your terminal.

You can arrive by a friend, Uber or airport parking shuttle. Now it is time to check your bag.

You can check in curbside, or inside the airport. If you don't have the app, here is where you can also check in and print a physical boarding pass.

Keep your ID and boarding pass handy to be scanned at security. You might be asked to take off your shoes and to place your carry on on the conveyor belt.

All other smaller personal items will go in a basket. Then you go through a metal detector or xray machine.

Take a seat to regather yourself and belongings. Phew!

Take a deep breath if you need it. You're doing great!

Now let's find our gate. Your gate might have a letter and a number.

Follow the signs and don't be afraid to ask someone who works there for help. Keep following the signs and be aware of your surroundings.

Check your gate screen to make sure you are at the right place and the boarding time hasn't changed. There are seats at the gate to wait or you can walk around.

There are restaurants, coffee shops, and general stores. It's time to board!

Go back to your gate. Your seat may be zoned into boarding groups.

Wait until your coarding group is called. You're on the plane!

Find your seat. Place your carry on above your seat.

Sit down, take a breath, you did it!"

10. My dad taught me this one. How to remember how many days are in the months.

"An easy way to remember how many days are in a month is to use the hills and valleys of your knuckles. But remember, July and August both have 31 days so count off on both hands."

Next, pick your gas. Majority of cars need just Unleaded.

Pop it in snuggly, then flip up the tab to hold your handle in place. Wait for it to fill up.

put the gas pump back, screw back on the cap and close the door."

14. I love to see everyone loving these TikToks.

15. A mattress protector is a must

"One of the most overlooked parts of bedding is your mattress protector. It provides a waterproof barrier between your fitted sheet and mattress.

Which protects your mattress from things that might slip through the fibers of your fitter sheet like: sweat, spills, allergens, dead skin cells."

16. "I didn't know I needed this."

24. Tips on shaving your legs

"Shaving your legs is best started with a nice warm shower. Make sure to use a washcloth or body glove for a light exfoliation.

If you are comfortable, shaving is much easier done in the shower. But if this is new to you, it may be safer to hop out of the shower.

Lather your legs well with shaving cream or hair conditioner, I prefer to use hair conditioner. A 4 or 5 blade razor is preferred.

If your hair is very long of dense, it is better to start going in the same direction that the hair grows (down). Every couple of strokes rinse off your razor.

Then, go against the growth of hair (up) for a super close shave. Use a medium pressure.

If your hair is already short and not too thick to begin with, you can start your shave going against the growth. Joints like knees can be tricky.

Use light pressure and follow your skin carefully. Rinse off with warm water to get rid of any residue.

Finish up by using a gentle lotion."

25. The videos are very helpful.

26. This Is More Cosmetologist Specific, Not Everyone Knows This And That’s Okay

"Here's a little test you can do: Wash your face, pat your skin dry, do not use any other products, and wait 1 hour. During this hour go about your business.

Asses your skin and now try to find your match in an assessment guide."

These things aregreat for anyone who doesn't have a mother figure, but also they are just great tips for anyone who may not have known them. This TikTok mom really had us going with these videos of tips and tricks that are useful in our adult lives.
