494. Fresh Strawberries For Longer!

Want your strawberries to last longer? Give them a bath!

Wash your strawberries with a solution of one part vinegar and three parts water.

This magical mixture helps to kill off bacteria and mold spores, which means your berries will stay fresh for weeks instead of days.

Rinse them thoroughly afterward, dry them well, and store them in the fridge.

495. Boundaries are Your Superpower

Setting boundaries can be tough, especially if you’re worried about negative reactions.

But here's the age old saying: if you’re scared that someone will react poorly, it’s concrete proof that the boundary is necessary. 

Your needs and feelings matter! Setting boundaries helps protect your well-being and creates healthier relationships.

496. House Hunting Hack: Check the Hinges!

On the hunt for a new home? Here's a nifty trick for you: when touring potential houses, take a close look at the basement door hinges.

If the bottom hinge looks different or newer than the others, it could be a red flag.

This might indicate a history of flooding that even the realtor isn’t aware of.
