The Secret Flight Hack Airlines Don’t Want You to Know

Ever feel like airlines are scamming you with those outrageous ticket prices? Well, they kind of are… But there's a loophole called Hidden City Ticketing.

Sometimes, booking a flight with a layover in your actual destination is cheaper than booking a direct ticket there. Just hop off at the layover and skip the second leg. That’s it! That’s the secret!

Airlines price tickets based on demand, not just distance. If a less popular route has a stopover in your desired city, it can be cheaper than a direct flight.

NOTE: Keep in mind This works best when you don’t check luggage (because your bags will go to the final destination).

Spider-Proof Your Home with This Citrus Trick!

Hate finding creepy crawlies in your house? Turns out, spiders hate citrus. Lemons, oranges, and limes contain d-limonene, a compound that messes with their nervous system.

Spiders rely heavily on their sense of smell to navigate. Citrus scents overwhelm their receptors, making them avoid those areas.

DIY Spider Repellent:

1. Fill a spray bottle with water

2. Add lemon, orange, or lime juice (or all three!)

3. Spritz doorways, windowsills, and corners

Your home will smell fresh, and you’ll never have to deal with a rogue spider ruining your shower ever again. I promise!

Why You Shouldn’t Brush Right After Eating!

You just had a big meal, and you’re about to grab your toothbrush—STOP! JUST STOP!

Brushing your teeth right after eating can actually damage your enamel instead of protecting it.

When you eat, especially acidic foods like fruit or soda, your enamel softens temporarily. Brushing too soon scrapes away this softened layer before your saliva has a chance to neutralize acids and harden it again.

What to Do Instead:

• Rinse your mouth with water for 30 seconds

• Wait at least 30 minutes before brushing

• Chew sugar-free gum to boost saliva production and protect your teeth

Pro Tip: Want fresh breath without harming your enamel? Try swishing with mouthwash instead!
