Bubble Baths Aren’t Just Fancy. They’re Little Heat Shields

Next time you’re soaking in the tub and want to keep that perfect warmth going, add bubbles.

Here’s why: bubbles trap air, and air is a poor conductor of heat. That fluffy foam layer acts like a mini thermal blanket, reducing how fast the heat escapes from the surface. Translation? You stay warmer, longer without topping up the hot water every 10 minutes. It’s a cozy science win and an excuse to make your bath extra bougie.

Can’t Pee in Public? Your Brain’s Has a Cheat Code

If your bladder turns bashful in public restrooms, try this odd little hack: start multiplying random numbers in your head (like 13 × 7, then 91 × 2…). Sounds weird, but it works.

Why? The same region of your brain that controls working memory and mental math is also involved in the stress response that causes shy bladder. Distracting that part with numbers can ease the freeze and get things flowing. Call it arithmetic relief.

Why Your Cat Thinks You’re Sabotaging Their Water

Cats are finicky — and for good reason. In the wild, they instinctively avoid drinking water near their food source, since spoiled prey can contaminate it.

That instinct is still baked in. If your cat’s water bowl sits next to their kibble, they might be skipping hydration altogether. Move their water dish to another spot (or try a cat fountain — they love moving water).

Better hydration means healthier kidneys, which is a big deal as they age. Meow that’s smart.
