Perfume overload

A quick fix for too much perfume is to rub a little bit of unscented body lotion over the areas where you applied the fragrance. The lotion absorbs and neutralizes scent molecules on the skin's surface.

Calm down anxiety

When you find yourself anxious, hold one hand in the other and give it a gentle squeeze. This self-soothing gesture puts an end to nervous movements by lowering heart rate, making you more relaxed.

A little help to cut calories

If you are trying to lose weight, hold your fork with your non-dominant hand during your meals. This will make you focus on handling the utensil, slowing down your eating process, and preventing overeating.

Replace an eyeglass screw

The tiny screw in the hinge of an eyeglass always pops out when you are not ready to fix it. Next time, use an earring post to replace it until you can get a new screw. Usually they fit pretty well.

Bumps on bikini line

To prevent bumps from cropping up on your skin, after a bikini-line shave, always use a sharp razor and shave downward (the direction of hair growth). Also, reduce the number of passes over a single area to stop irritation that causes ingrown hairs.

Sunburned skin

To keep sunburned skin from peeling, slice an apple in half, remove the core and rub the flashy side over the affected area for a few minutes. The malic acid moisturizes skin, preventing peeling.

Musty garage

If the humid weather is leaving your garage smelling musty, spread a layer of cat litter in a shallow large pan and place in an unnoticeable spot, to soak up the moisture in the air.

Cleaning the washer

If your washer is not working properly due to the accumulation of soap scum in the hoses, try to clean it with some white vinegar. Add one cup of the product to an empty machine and run a small-load cycle using the hot water setting. Acetic acid will dissolve clog-causing buildup.
