Life Hacks

Save your raspberries and strawberries:

Paint some small rocks to look like strawberries, and put them around your berry plants and bushes before the fruit appears

Birds will peck the red rocks. They hate pecking super hard things so they will leave the fruit alone when it appears. 

Save your carpet:

If you spill a dark drink onto fabric, blot it dry and then cover it with salt. The salt will draw the liquid out of the fabric to minimise staining and smell. This works especially well with red wine and carpets. For carpet, you can just vacuum the salt up afterwards.

Save your brain and build your core:

Always brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand. When I was a kid, being left-handed, my basketball coach told me to always brush my teeth with my right hand. That advice changed my game tremendously and helped me throughout my life. It will make you more ambidextrous than you could imagine, just doing that small task twice a day. It's also good for your brain.

If you want to take teeth brushing to another level again, try standing on one leg while brushing your teeth. Great for balance, great for abs and building core strength, and again, good for your brain.
