Before you make a bad or rash decision, HALT - check four things: Are you Hungry? Eat something! Are you Angry? Find a safe and healthy way to vent! Are you Lonely? Visit, volunteer or call someone! Are you Tired? Nap or sleep! And another thing, don't trust your feelings after 9PM.

“Sniffing Rubbing Alcohol Gets Rid Of Nausea”: 80 Weird Life Hacks That Work For Some Reason This is a psychological advice that I once saw on a subreddit, and I couldn't stop practicing ever since because it is so legit.
When you're walking on the street, make sure to always keep your head up and look straight-forward to the people— ergo, walk with a purpose. That way you won't be finding any trouble with people getting in your way during your walk because they'll instantly avoid you and get out of your path!

It's so useful when you're in a rush.

Edit: English is not my motherly language, so I hope I made myself clear with the advice:)

We've never once explicitly told our 2 or 5 year old to say "please" or "thank you" or other kind s**t, but they say it when the moment is right. My two year old is much better about "thank you" than his big brother, but the five year old regularly uses "please" when asking for the most mundane s**t. When the kindness comes naturally from them, it blows my mind every time.

“Sniffing Rubbing Alcohol Gets Rid Of Nausea”: 80 Weird Life Hacks That Work For Some Reason One life hack I went from not knowing to using almost daily is the search bar in the Photos app on my iPhone. I used to think I could only scroll endlessly through my camera roll to find a specific photo. Then I discovered that I could search my pictures based on objects, people, or even text that appeared in them.

For example, if I’m looking for a photo where I was wearing a suit or glasses, I can just type “suit” or “glasses” in the search bar, and it instantly shows me all the relevant pictures. It even recognizes text in photos—if I remember taking a picture of a document, a sign, or anything with words on it, I just type a keyword, and it pulls up those images.

This feature has completely changed how I organize and find photos. Instead of scrolling for ages, I can just search and find what I need in seconds. It’s a game-changer for anyone with thousands of photos stored!

Ah the hand squeegee. I've used it for years and it works brilliantly. Takes 90% of the water off your body and means you just have to wipe yourself with the towel once without ending up trying to dry yourself with a wet towel. My partner laughed at me when I suggested it to her instead of using 2 towels. Until she actually tried it. She still uses 2 towels (one for her hair and one for her body) but one are much drier and I don't have to wait as long for the toilet these days.

“Sniffing Rubbing Alcohol Gets Rid Of Nausea”: 80 Weird Life Hacks That Work For Some Reason Put a wooden spoon over a pot of boiling water to keep it from overflowing.

Weirdly too 😂 I would used a leaf of lettuce on any sandwich that had a soggy risk, then all my bf had to do at work was remove the lettuce and give it to the birds or ants etc and eat away. Tomato I just gave up on and got a small container for the slices he could add himself at work 😂 he called it his wog boy lunch (the movie where he’s at school with his Greek lunch) . I wanted to cook him better food (to me) but he was British and they love their sandwiches 😂
