Hack 1: Pinterest Gift Guide

 

I truly appreciate getting a gift for a special occasion but sometimes I don’t get gifts that I really like. So I created a Pinterest board as a gift guide for my family and friends. I posted all the items I’ve been wanting on there with prices and the direct link attached to each pin. It makes it easier for my loved ones to get me gifts for every occasion and I get the wishlist items I’ve been wanting!

 

Hack 2: Honey,lime, and salt Holy Elixir

 

For as long as I can remember my mom would make me this amazing home remedy that would get rid of my fever or cold overnight. The next time you notice the symptoms of a cold or fever create a mixture of one lime, a pinch of salt, and enough honey to your liking in a microwave safe cup. Warm this mixture for 20 seconds and drink. Usually it works overnight but everyone is different so do this remedy for as much as you need.

 

Hack 3: Prepped Ingredients

 

As a college student I used to find myself eating out more than eating at home because I would dread spending a long time in the kitchen prepping and cooking dinner during the weekday. So I started to immediately prep my ingredients as soon as I got home from the grocery store. For example I will chop up and season some chicken breast then place single serving amounts in little ziplock bags for the week. This can be done for any protein or produce. So after your next grocery haul spend some extra time to prep your ingredients and spend less time during the week making dinner at home!
