Handy tips I have learned:
- If you need a book for school or university, check the internet first. You can usually find it online to download. This is totally illegal but students are usually poor so I don’t care. After checking the internet, check online for used books and then ask around on Facebook, someone might have one to sell. If non of this works, then you buy new.
- Always check if there’s toilet paper before you go. I mean it.
- Always carry an extra cardigan or sweater with you. Even if it’s Summer. It might get cold at night or you might need an extra layer in Winter. I also carry gloves and a scarf and an umbrella with me during Fall and Winter, just in case.
- Carry a phone charger or a power bank with you at all times.
- Ladies, always carry and extra pair of panties with you. I’m sorry for TMI but accidents happen when you’re on your period. Also, carry baby wipes.
- Make your mascara last longer by dropping a little almond oil in the tube.
- After applying lipstick, place a finger inside your mouth, close your lips and pull your finger, the excess will end up on your finger and you won’t have lipstick on your teeth;
- One positive test doesn’t mean you’re pregnant. Always take more than one or do a blood test. You can get false positives. Trust me.
- You can eat most things way after their expiration date. Don’t waste food without trying it first.
- When you’re writing an important email, always leave the recipient email for last. If you do this, you never send unfinished your the wrong email to anyone.
- Always sneak food into the theater. No one is going to check and theater snacks are way overpriced.
- Go grocery shopping after lunch and with a list.
- If you’re at a party or event, be careful with the photos people take of you. You don’t want a photo you don’t like or that might be embarrassing to end up on someone else’s Facebook.
- Wallets don’t belong in back pockets, neither do cellphones.
- If you go to a hotel or a place where the bathroom is used by many, always shower with flip flops on.
- Make sure you do frequent backups.
- If you’re wearing new shoes (especially heels), carry a pair of ballerinas with you and band-aids.
- Use a wet rubber glove to remove pet hair from your sofa.
- Never drink from a can before you clean the top first. There are rats in warehouses and they pee everywhere. Rat pee can make you sick.
I guess that’s it for now?

I love this! And definetly agree with carrying a phone power bank! The amount of times my family have been on the way somewhere important and our phones go dead through using Google maps! My sister has one but we always forget 😂 Great post! 😄💗

I didn’t know that almond oil makes your mascara last longer o.O

It does because it can get a bit dried and you it makes it difficult for you to finish it. This way you get every last drop
