Life Hack #616

Making banana bread but don’t have ripe bananas? You can ripen some quickly by putting them in the oven for 40 minutes at 300F.

Life Hack #617

Hunger is your bodies way of measuring how soon you should eat, not how much you should eat. A lot of people have this backwards. If you're super hungry, it just means you need to eat now, not eat a lot. 

Life Hack #618

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. You’ll easily be able to tell which side the leftover streaks are on because of the direction.
