Life Hacks:
Throw used tea bags in your plants.
Used tea leaves serve as great fertilizers. Make sure the bags are biodegradable. If not, rip them open and put used loose-leaf tea into the plant roots. This way, you’ll give your plants a nutritious boost, add organic matter, and fight fungus, all thanks to an ordinary cup of tea.
Switch sides while sleeping with a blocked nostril.
If your right nostril is blocked, lie on the left side and vice versa. Your nostril will clear up shortly afterwards, and you’ll breathe through it again. Lying on your side increases blood flow and causes congestion, so switching sides provides temporary relief.
Use rice to keep your salt neat and tidy.
Salt tends to absorb moisture and gets stuck in the shaker. To prevent that, put a few raw rice grains in the salt. They will absorb moisture, and your shaker won’t get clogged. Besides, rice grains also prevent salt from clumping.
Brush your teeth with apples.
If you don’t have much time, even to brush your teeth, at least grab an apple on your way out the door. Apples contain malic acid that whitens your teeth. In addition, the fibrous content of apples scrubs away plaque and other food debris.
Don’t throw away eggs that will expire soon.
The first thing to do is make sure they don’t lie around raw, so hard-boil them. This way, you’ll prolong their life by one more week.
