The 32-year-old mother of four calls herself "Major Mum Hacks" on social media.
She earned this title by coming up with hacks for housework, parenting, traveling, and everything in between.
Her final tip is for beauty enthusiasts who don't have time to scrub their makeup brushes and sponges every day.
Casey has developed a solution that works overnight. When you rinse your tools in the morning, they will look like new.
Mix micellar water with tap water in a medium saucepan and soak the fluffy tips of your brushes in the treatment solution overnight.
"I always felt like you wouldn't put strong soap on your face. "So why should you put them on your makeup brushes?" she says.
"This eliminates the need for cleaning.
"You just leave it for 24 hours and that's it.

"I always find that when I use soap, my brushes never feel the same again.
"But by using micellar water and plain water, they are super soft and clean."
And the ploy is backed by Lynsey Crombie, the self-proclaimed queen of cleanliness and This Morning.
She called micellar water the "best product for cleaning" beauty tools, adding that it's "also great for removing makeup stains from clothing and carpets."
A large 700ml bottle of Garnier Micellar Water for Sensitive Skin will set you back £9.99 at Superdrug, or £6.66 if you're a member.
This is the exact version Casey used when performing his trick.
Cleaning brushes and sponges regularly is important to prevent the buildup of bacteria that can cause dermatitis or acne.
Last year, a scientist shocked people after testing the amount of bacteria in her beauty blender .
Pamela Pedrozaa cleaned the sponge with a cotton swab and then dropped the cells into a Petri dish to see how many bacteria grew.
After two days, a large number of bacteria and fungi had grown on the plate.
Makeup fans were so horrified they said they wanted to "wash their eyes out" and forget they had ever seen Pamela's video.

Doctors at the American Academy of Dermatology recommend cleaning brushes and sponges every seven to 10 days.
"Dirty makeup brushes can cause an infection such as a fungal infection, E. coli or a staph infection, which can be very serious," they warn.
