LIFE HACK #061

Don't toss those stale tortillas—give them a second life!

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and bake them for just 10 minutes. Like magic, their crunchiness will be restored, making them as tasty as when they were fresh.

Once revived, these tortillas can handle any thickness of salsa you choose to pile on. This quick and easy trick saves you from wasting food and ensures you enjoy a satisfying snack.

LIFE HACK #062

The first high five supposedly happened at Dodgers Stadium between Glenn Burke and Dusty Baker in 1977.

Since then, it has been a commonly used symbol of a job well done. But if you’ve ever wondered why sometimes you get that perfect connection, and other times you don’t, it’s because of elbow height.

If you want to get that perfect high five connection with someone, the best way to do it is to look at their elbow. This will make you match elbow height with them, and you’ll never miss again.

LIFE HACK #063

The next time you’re squeegeeing a window, pay attention to the direction in which you’re wiping. If you’re wiping horizontally on the outside, make sure to wipe vertically on the inside.

This will make things much easier when it comes to cleaning up leftover streaks. You’ll easily be able to tell which side of the window they’re on because of the direction.
