452. Say Goodbye to Spicy Hands

Hate that icky feeling on your hands after cutting hot peppers?

Lather your hands in vegetable oil, or any cooking oil, and then wash them off with soap and water.

This works like a charm for Jalapeños.

453. Skincare That Cares

Ever wonder if your skincare routine is as kind to the Earth as it is to your skin?

On SkinSort.com you can look up any product and it will tell you if it’s cruelty-free, vegan, and reef-safe.

Now, you can pamper yourself without any guilt, knowing your products are eco-friendly.

454. Boost Your Productivity with Yellow

Feeling sluggish while studying or working?

Maybe it's time to add a splash of yellow to your environment!

The colour yellow has been proven to decrease the production of Melatonin in your body, the hormone that makes you sleepy.

A recent study showed that subjects in a yellow room, were much more productive in their daily tasks than people that weren’t.
