Control over-consumption

If you are trying to cut back on excessive shopping, just ask yourself if you are going to use the item within the next few days before you buy it. When the answer is “NO”, you definitely do not need that immediately (maybe ever!), so do not make the purchase. You will be surprised by how often your mind can change when you use this “questioning yourself” trick.

Smooth your feet

To regain soft feet, crush 5 aspirin tablets into a powder, mix with 1 tsp of water, and then apply the paste to rough areas. Wrap your entire foot in a damp towel and let sit for about 10 to 15 minutes before washing it. Salicylic acid in aspirin will help to lose any dead or hardened skin.

Sweat stain on white shirt

Turn the shirt inside out, soak a paper towel with white vinegar and press it on the stain for about 5 minutes. Place the garment in the washing machine and launder as usual.

Soothe a burn on the roof of the mouth

Reduce the pain from burning the roof of your mouth (like a pizza burn) by sprinkling your tongue with some sugar and holding it against the sore area. As the sugar melts, your brain releases more endorphins that will make you forget about the pain.

Preventing blisters on feet

To keep shoes from causing blisters, before wearing them, apply some clear gel deodorant on your feet where your skin usually gets irritated. The product’s waxy silicone creates a barrier that eliminates friction.

Fix a red face faster

End a red face (just like the one you get after exercising) by running cold water on the inside of your wrists for a few seconds. At the pulse points, you will cool the blood that circulates throughout your body much faster.

Look slimmer in pictures

To look the best in photos, use a blush brush to apply some bronzer along your facial T-zone and below your cheekbones. The slightly darker shade will highlight your bone structure making you to look slimmer.

Baking delicate cakes

Prevent delicate cakes from sticking to the pan, and breaking when you try to remove it, by placing the greased pan in the freezer while you mix up the batter. The frozen butter will take longer to melt in the oven, so it will not bond to the sides of the cake.
