First of all, unplug your freezer. Then, take out all the food from it. If you do this in winter, you can probably save most of your food by putting in a box outside where it will stay cold. If not, try to do this at a time where you won’t need the fridge or freezer for a while, like before you go on vacation.

Then, just keep the door open and allow the ice to melt. Put lots of towels around your freezer so when the ice melts it won’t leave your kitchen floor a mess. If you want to speed up the process, put pots of hot water in the freezer for 10 minutes at a time to help the ice melt faster. Just make sure to put a pot holder under the pots.

Cost

A lot of people think projectors are a huge expense, but a good quality projector and a screen will actually cost you way less than a TV. As most televisions won’t be nearly as large as a projector screen, you will actually save tons of money for how many inches of screen you can get.

Flexibility

With a regular TV, once you put it somewhere it’s difficult to change the placement without messing up the whole design of your room. But, with a projector and screen, you can easily change up the placement if you opt for a screen on a tripod! This way you can enjoy your shows all over the house and even outside!

Intentional Viewing

A lot of people turn on the TV and watch for hours because it is easy. Since a projector and screen does take a little bit more time, you will probably use it less than a TV making the times you do use it more intentional.

There are a lot of misconceptions about when you should be eating fruit, and there are more optimal times than others.

One of the better times to eat fruit is in the morning because it’s when your metabolism is the fastest. This will allow the sugars and the nutrients to be absorbed best and give you the energy to start your day.

You don’t need to eat fruit on a completely empty stomach during this time, but it’s definitely recommended to drink water first to rehydrate your body.

If you need something sweet after a meal but want to avoid unnatural sugary things, the fruit is a great option. However, the best way to eat it is to wait at least 30 minutes after your meal so your food can start to digest. Because of all the fiber and sugar in fruit, it can slow down your digestion a lot, and that can lead to cramps, bloating, and more.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is full of antioxidants, moisturizing elements, and generally amazing healing powers. To get the best results from aloe vera, get a leaf and not just the stuff in the bottle. Cut it in half, scrape out the pulp, and put it on your scar. Wrap the scar in plastic wrap overnight and repeat every night until the scar has faded.

Baking Soda

Baking soda can help restore the pH of the affected skin and help regenerate new skin cells. Just make a paste of 2 parts water to 1 part baking soda, scrub it onto the scar and wait for 1 minute before washing it off.

Lemon

Lemon is a natural lightening solution, so putting it onto your scar will help the darkness of the skin fade. Just squeeze a lemon on for 15 minutes and then wash it off. Make sure before you go outside to put sunscreen on the scar so it won’t burn from the lemon.

Curtains

If you have curtains in your house, you have an easy way to add some extra humidity to your home! All you have to do is spray them with just a bit of water so they’re a bit damp, and as they dry, the water will evaporate and add moisture to the room.

Drying Rack

Similar to curtains, when you hang up wet clothes on a drying rack, the water will remain in the air and give it moisture as the clothes dry. This is not only a great way to add humidity to your room, but also it’s much more eco-friendly than using a dryer! And will save you money by not using your dryer.

Sponge

This is a great little hack if you want to make a quick humidifier. Take a large freezer bag and poke some holes in it. Then, wet a sponge so it’s damp but not actually dripping. You might need to ring it out first. Put the sponge in the bag, hang it in whatever room you need, as many as you need, and you’ll have an instant humidifier!

Glasses

Though it is definitely not a permanent fix, you can absolutely use gum as a way to keep your broken glasses just intact enough until you can get them repaired. Just put a really small piece of already chewed gum in the corner of the lens and it should stay pretty well for a short while.

Gardening

If you love using terracotta planting pots but accidentally got a crack in one, you can use gum to repair it! Just chew it for a good long while, and then spread it over the crack in the pot and it will be good as new.

Heartburn

Believe it or not, gum can actually help you if you have heartburn! At least if you are using mint gum. The peppermint in the gum will help you digest better, and since gum helps you produce more saliva, that will also help you get through a period of heartburn discomfort.

Reservations 

Before you go to the DMV check your local office’s website to see if there is a possibility of making a reservation. This will greatly decrease your waiting time, and you will often be seen within 15 minutes of your reservation or sometimes less. But, you do have to do this in advance so try to plan for 1-2 weeks before you know you need to go.

Productivity 

If your DMV does not allow for reservations, come prepared! You might not have to wait very long depending on the time of day, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Always bring with you either a book or have some shows downloaded on your phone. You can also even ask your employer if you can work from home that day and get some work done at the DMV.

Reusable Cups

New Yorkers love their coffee, and when you’re there on vacation, there’s no doubt you’ll have a few cups yourself. But, in a lot of coffee shops, no matter if you’re taking it to go or having it there, you will get a disposable cup. This can get really wasteful, so instead, pack a cup from home so you can reuse them.

Pizza

Pizza is an inevitable part of coming to New York, and no matter where you go, it tastes delicious. However, if you want to be less wasteful, make sure you find a recycling bin after so you don’t make more waste from them.

Public Transport

New York traffic is no joke, and even if it’s the summer and it seems like too much work to take the bus or train, do your best to use public transit as much as you can to cut down on your carbon footprint.

Some people state that there’s a specific number of miles that you should change your shoes at, just like tires on a car. However, this isn’t really scientific and doesn’t have much to fall back on. The best thing to do is to get a new pair of shoes when they really start to feel different than how they first felt when you bought them.

A good way to keep your shoes in tip-top shape is to air them out between uses, so the moisture that accumulates in them throughout the day can dry. Also, try to rotate the sneakers you use so you don’t wear one pair out too much.

One way to keep the sneakers you like without having to sacrifice the actual style is by buying your sneakers on a buy 1 get 1 free deal, so you can keep the same style but change out the physical shoe.
