“Stir Drinks With Butter Knives”: 30 Life Hacks That Made A Difference In These Women’s Lives

I've been doing this for years!! Now my left hand doesn't feel like a useless limb! 😎 Also try to clap with your non dominant hand on top, it feels really weird at first!

You learn this quickly if you injure your dominant hand/arm...I can even apply makeup with my left or right hand :)

I broke my right ankle and foot badly a number of years ago. I'm single. Lived in a city that had no public transportation and Uber wasn't a thing. I learned to drive very well with my left foot!

Years ago I did a lot of numeric data entry. I switched my mouse to my left hand to navigate more quickly and nearly doubled my entry speed. As a bonus, everyone hated it so no one touched my pc when I wasn't using it. I became used to thinking in terms of index finger or middle finger, instead of left click, right click. Ever since I was little, I always used my left hand to cut food. It seemed like a waste of time to switch between fork and knife while eating. It's funny that when I'm preparing food I cut with my right hand. When I was in school, I was so bored that I taught myself to write with my left hand and with my right dominant hand I learned to write backwards and upside down.

I am an illustrator and I use my right hand. Since my childhood, I learned to use both my left hand and my feet in case something happens to my right hand :D Sometimes when my right hand hurts while doing a daily task, I switch to the left and it is really relaxing.

This should be higher.

Every time I make a purchase with my check card, my bank moves a dollar from checking to savings. It adds up pretty quickly and relatively painlessly!

This - and the general idea of save what you can. I started investing kind of late in life. A 401K at an employer. They had a partial match so it helped to get me going. I put in a lot more than 5 bucks a month but even so - it felt like a drop in the ocean and not going anywhere. But then over time I realized it had built up to a significant amount. Which in turn motivated me to try harder to save.

I try and do this all the time. I will check my account every day, and what ever change is in there, I transfer to my savings, plus $3.00. Like if my balance is $108.59, I will transfer the .58 cents plus $3.00 dollars, it is up

Start small & go big later.....good for you!!

Every time. Its amazing how much stuff is still in there!

They taught us this in esthiology school. Just be sure you cut the tube down far enough to get your fingers in there, then recap it with the rest of the cut bottle. I have got at least a few more uses out of hidden product. It is a game changer.

Especially the very expensive eye cream, I scoop it out with a Q-tip

I do this with my foundation. Always three or four more days left in the tube.

Aluminium doesn't rust.

And before. :) ;)

I can't believe this is something that isn't taught in sex ed (granted I recognize that one is lucky to have sex ed these days, at least in the US). I had NO idea for the longest time.

Sex with a fuller bladder does intensify things...tried and true. Then, it'll be easy to go after, which is very important!

Can confirm.

It's also exciting to pee during sex!

Never shopping hungry is a good tip. A good tip to save money is to do curbside pickup. It's much harder to spend money on spluge buys if you're not in the store.

Yes, dehydration does weird things to us & can make you feel upset, angry or hungry, BUT! PLEASE DON'T IGNORE HUNGER and try to fix it with water! If you still feel hungry after a glass of water EAT. I'm talking especially to you - people trying to loose weight. Water brings basically zero nutrients & can't replace food - you'll end up ill because of various deficiencies.

Yep, I do the exact same thing.

You can also tell if you're dehydrated by the color of your urine. If it's dark yellow you need to drink water. If it looks like water you're hydrated don't over do it's

Don't walk down the snack aisles in the store. Walk around the edges of the store - veggies, dairy, eggs, chicken, fish, etc.

I usually compare the value of things to stuff I already own to estimate if they are worth it or not. For example, a shirt has the value of 4 sushi packs, a makeup kit has the value of an anime figurine, a laptop has the value of 5 Nintendo Switch consoles ... However, the result of this was that I absolutely never buy makeup. It doesn't bring me joy anyway, and for the 70 buck value that stuff has, I could buy a nice new videogame that doesn't vanish after 4 months because I rubbed it in my face.

Breaking news: person discovers 'Saving Money' /j

If I see something online from a company I'm familiar with, I'll leave it up on my computer for a few days to see if I still want it a week later. It took me two weeks to decide to buy a new bathrobe, even though it was a bit overpriced. I have a vision disability, and it's difficult for me to shop in a department store.

I always consider how many hours I had to work to earn the money needed for the purchase, but only on things I want but really dont need.

I can't wait to try it out!

I use hair conditioner to shave. Works like a charm.

Aluminium doesn't rust. That's steel. Just buy an aluminium can.

If it is a steel can and has a plastic top, cut a slit in the side of the top so that you can fit it on the bottom of the can so the bottom of the can won't leave rust marks. BTW, If it is aluminium, no worries because aluminium does not rust.

OMG. Man here, I wish I'd known that when I was using shaving cream in steel aerosol cans. Those always rusted out at the bottom before the can was finished, not even in the shower, just on the handbasin and in the medicine cabinet.

Aluminum doesn’t rust. Those are steel cans
