Why Yelling at Grandma Won't Work—And What Actually Will!

When talking to an elderly person who’s hard of hearing, resist the urge to crank up the volume. Instead, lower your pitch.

Science time: As we age, the tiny hair cells in our inner ear that detect high-frequency sounds are usually the first to deteriorate.

So shouting louder in your usual pitch doesn’t help—but speaking in a deeper, lower tone does.

Shrunk Your Favorite Shirt? Here’s a Hair-Raising Hack to Fix It!

Oops! That perfect shirt you loved just became doll-sized after one laundry cycle.

Don’t panic. Grab a bowl, fill it with ice water, and add a cup of hair conditioner.

Why this works: Hair conditioner relaxes the fabric fibers the same way it softens hair, allowing you to gently stretch the shirt back to its original size.

It’s basically a fabric spa day—and your wardrobe will thank you.
