Abstract: A zipper operating device for operating a zipper attached to a garment and traversing part of a back of a user includes an elongated rod being rigid and having a first end and a second end. A hook is pivotably coupled to the first end of the elongated rod and is configured for insertion into an eyelet of a slider of a zipper. A method for using the device includes providing a garment with a zipper that traverses a portion of a back of a user. The hook is inserted into the eyelet and the elongated rod is moved such that the hook engages the slider to open or close the zipper.

Abstract: A soap recycling assembly for recycling soap pieces into soap bars includes a housing that defines an internal space. A power module and a heater are coupled to the housing and are positioned in the internal space. The heater is selectively operationally couplable to the power module. A first recess is positioned in a top of the housing. A plurality of legs is pivotally coupled to a bottom of the housing. The legs are positioned to reversibly pivot from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration, wherein the legs are positioned substantially perpendicular to the bottom. The first recess is configured to insert soap pieces. The power module is positioned to couple to the heater to heat the soap pieces to a melt. The power module is positioned to decouple from the heater wherein the melt solidifies to a bar of soap.
