Life is hard enough, so I’m creating a series of hacks that will hopefully help make things a little easier for you!

01. Create an Amazing Breakfast Using Salad Bar Ingredients

I bet you have never thought of this before, and if you have, well, you’re ahead of the game. I crave things at random times and often only crave them for a short period, and then I’m over it. Unfortunately, I end up wasting a lot of food that way.

I love breakfast food, but I am a party of 1 and don’t need much food because it will just sit in my fridge. So instead of going to the grocery store and buying large packs of certain items, I opt for the salad bar. I can create a few of my favorite dishes like omelettes, and french toast with fruit for ¼ of the price.

Picture this, you go over to your date’s house for dinner, and after you’ve had a romantic evening, your stomach does a flip upside down. You rush to the bathroom to handle your business, aka poop, and to your fear, there is no spray to cover up what’s about to happen. What do you do?

I got you. Hopefully, the person you’re dating is sanitary and has liquid hand soap next to their sink. If they don’t have liquid hand soap, body wash, or scented shampoo will work just the same. After you’ve handled your business and cleaned yourself up before you flush, grab the soap and pump a few squirts into the toilet.  The flush mixed with the scent of the soap will cover up the evidence.

I don’t know if this will work every time, so please don’t shoot the messenger, but I learned about this trip from a car rep when my car got hit, and I had to get a rental.

99% of the time, if the insurance company pays for your rental car, they will give you the cheapest option possible. Call the insurance rep before you accept your rental and tell them, “the car given to me is not compatible with what I’m used to driving.” Now they won’t give you a luxury sports car, so get that idea out of your head, but they will upgrade you to the next tier level available free of charge.

I don’t know where you live, but I am in Texas, aka heat hell. I have tried a million and one deodorant brands, and nothing works. I purposely carry deodorant in my bag to reapply throughout the day. But what happens when you forget your deodorant at home and start to get a little funky during the day? Fear not; find your nearest first aid kit. Grab an alcohol wipe and clean your armpits. Warning, if you are freshly waxed or shaved, it will burn. This trick does not replace deodorant entirely, but it will make the odor disappear. If you can’t find a first aid kit, you can also do the same thing with hand sanitizer. Rub some on a paper towel or napkin and get those underarms.
