10 Life Hacks You Should Be Using

Sometimes we as humans need hacks to speed things along or make life a little better. These ten life hacks are some that I'm sure will bring you a bit of joy.


1.) Runaway Cats!

Did Mittens get out? If so, put the little guy's litter box on the porch. Cats have a great sense of smell, so Mittens will be able to sniff out his poo and find home!


2.) Pesky Charging Cables!

Find yourself often infuriated by your charging cable breaking? Finally tired of spending money on a new charger? Take the spring out of an old pen and apply it to your charger at the top. Boom! Problem Solved!


3.) Headaches Be Gone

Cut a lime in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing should start to go away!


4.) Paper Cuts Suck.

Stop the pain of a paper cut by applying chaptstick. The pain will almost immediately stop.


5.) Bad Breath Stinks!

To check how bad your breath really is, lick your wrist and smell it. It will let you know how offensive or non offensive your breath has been to everyone else.


6.) Broken Shells

If you have issues with your crunchy taco shells breaking, wrap a soft tortilla around it. It helps keep the taco together, and if you want added flavor you can put a thin layer of beans and/or cheese between them.


7.) Fresh Day Old Pizza

Wanna keep the crust from being chewy while you microwave it? Put a small amount of water in a glass while you heat it up.


8.) Burning Calories With No Effort

Before bed eat a spoonful of peanut butter. It will help burn calories while you sleep.


9.) Cake or cookie?

Have a cake mix, but you want cookie? Add two eggs and 1/2 a cup of oil, and BAM! Cookies!


10.) You're Welcome

We all get a song stuck in your head. More often then not, we don't remember the name of the song. If you go to google and enter the lyrics you remember, google should provide you with the song title and artist. No more time wasted in racking your brain for a song title.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
