LIFE HACKS
DID YOU KNOW? Things your mom might have told you
1. To get the most juice out of fresh lemons, bring them to room temperature and roll them under your palm against the kitchen counter before squeezing.
5. To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes. 6. To prevent eggshells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling.
2. Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.
3. Use a meat baster to “squeeze” your pancake batter onto the hot griddle, and you’ll get perfectly shaped pancakes every time.
4. Run your hands under cold water before pressing Rice Krispies treats in the pan and the marshmallow won’t stick to your fingers.
7. Spray your plasticware with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato-based sauces and there won’t be any stains. 8. If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it’s still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant “fix me up.” 9. Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
10. To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on the stovetop.
11. Place a slice of apple in hardened brown sugar to soften it. 12. When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn’s natural sweetness.
13. Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away. 14. If you have a problem opening jars: Try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
15. To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area and you will experience instant relief.

YOU
SILENCE THE CRITIC
Be kind to yourself.
Kindness is imperative to make any relationship work. But have you ever considered how kind you’re being to yourself? Daily, the voice in our head replays our mistakes, reminds us of our failures, and tell us we just don’t measure up. It’s time to silence your inner critic, and be kind to yourself. The reality of life is, if you don’t care for yourself, you’re going to burnout and find it hard to love those around you.
