Draw This, Get a Bigger Tip (If You're a Waitress)

If you're a waitress, doodling a smiley face on the check can boost your tips by up to 9%! It adds a personal, friendly touch that customers subconsciously reward. But heads up, if you're a waiter, the same trick might actually backfire, lowering your tip by 3%. Apparently, smiley faces have gendered charm!

Boost Your Brainpower with Chocolate

Studying for a big test? Munch on some chocolate while you hit the books. Chocolate contains flavonoids that improve memory, focus, and problem-solving — and studies link it to higher test scores. Tasty and smart? Yes, please.

Stop the Spins with the Floor Leg Trick

Had one too many and the room won't stop spinning? Lie in bed and place one foot flat on the floor. This grounds your body, helps recalibrate your inner ear, and can dramatically reduce that dizzy “merry-go-round” feeling.
