LIFE HACK #160

You can boost the odds of getting a lost wallet back by slipping in a baby picture—it seriously works like a charm!

A recent study found that folks are more inclined to return a misplaced wallet if it houses an adorable infant photo. Here's a pro move: the baby in the picture doesn't have to be yours, so borrow some cuteness for that extra touch!

LIFE HACK #161

Got a little food critic at home? Get them on board with meal prep! Let your picky eater take charge in the kitchen, choosing and cooking their own meals.

Kids are more likely to dig into what they've whipped up, making them adventurous eaters. It's a win-win—bonding time and a solution to picky eating. Happy cooking!

LIFE HACK #162

Embarking on a weight loss journey this New Year? Keep in mind that your weight can naturally shift by 5-6 pounds during the day.

To stay on track, focus on tracking overall trends rather than getting caught up in daily fluctuations. This approach gives you a clearer picture of your progress and helps you stay motivated on your wellness adventure. Happy tracking and here's to a healthier you!
