Do red cars cost more to insure?
You may have heard the myth that red cars cost more to insure, often with varying reasons why. The truth is, the color of your car has nothing to do with your premium. Insurance companies are more interested in your vehicle’s make, model, age, safety features, and your driving history. What’s not a myth, though — is that people really can save a ton of money by switching insurers. Check out Money’s car insurance tool to see if you could, too.
This Grease Cleanup Trick is Magic
Spill some grease while cooking? Don’t panic, just reach for the baking soda. Sprinkle it generously over the spill and let it sit for a few minutes.
The powder absorbs the oil and thickens the mess, making it super easy to wipe away.
No baking soda? Cornstarch works just as well! It’s a simple, natural way to handle greasy mishaps without harsh cleaners.
How To Undo The “Desk Slouch”
If you sit in an office chair all day, your hip flexors and chest muscles are the ones that pay the price.
To keep your body happy, try a few lunges and push-ups (or wall push-ups if space is tight) before you leave for the day.
It takes less than two minutes but can make a world of difference for your posture, flexibility, and long-term health.
Think of it as an investment, your body will absolutely thank you in ten years.
Your Fitted Sheets, Finally Fitted
Struggling with fitted sheets? You’re not alone. The secret is in the stitching, those threads run in one direction.
Lay the sheet so the threads go horizontally across your bed, and it’ll fit perfectly on the first try.
A small win, sure, but sometimes the little frustrations are what test our patience the most. And when you beat one of them, even a fitted sheet, it feels like you’ve just mastered adulthood.
