380. Repel Mosquitoes With Music  

Did you know that a song can help keep those pesky mosquitoes away?

According to a study, "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" by Skrillex has been proven to help reduce mosquito bites.

The study found that the song's low-frequency vibrations interfere with mosquito behaviour, and can even temporarily stop their ability to mate!

The only problem? You’ll have to keep this song on repeat if you want a mosquito free summer barbecue 😬…

381. Calculate Accurate Monthly Costs

Ever noticed that your monthly expenses seem off when you multiply weekly costs by four? That's because there are actually more than four weeks in a month.

To get an accurate monthly cost, you actually need to be multiplying by 4.345. This little trick accounts for the extra days and will give you a precise figure.

For example, if your weekly grocery bill is $100, multiplying by 4 gives you $400, but multiplying by 4.345 gives you $434.50. Over a year, that $34.50 can add up!

382. Keep Your Hands Looking Young

Your face might be glowing from all the moisturizers and serums, but are your hands showing your true age?

The skin on the back of your hands is thin and lacks the same number of oil glands as your face, making it more prone to aging.

Over time, this area can develop fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots faster than other parts of your body.

So what’s the hack?? Treat the back of your hands like your face!

Whenever you treat your face, make sure to rub some of that magic into the back of your hands too. The same goes for your daily moisturizer and even sunscreen!
