Life Hack #601

The next time you’re cooking a package of bacon try soaking it in some ice cold water first. Just 2-4 minutes of cold water can reduce the shrinkage of your bacon by up to 50%. Not only that, but it will keep it from spattering all over your kitchen.

Life Hack #602

Stuck in traffic on the highway? Pay attention to the lanes that semi trucks are merging to, and follow them. They usually communicate over the radio which lanes are blocked or shut down from an accident.

Life Hack #603

The next time you’re struggling with insomnia or just can’t seem to fall asleep, try throwing on a pair of amber/orange tinted sunglasses. By doing this an hour before going to sleep, you can increase the amount of melatonin in your brain, which is the hormone that regulates the sleep and wake cycle in your brain.
