How to fold your sleeves with style
Want to show off the inner contrast of your cuffs? Or just fold your sleeves up in a way that looks professional? There is an easy way to do this that also makes adjusting your sleeves a snap:
First, unbutton your cuff, undo the gauntlet buttons and then pull your flipped cuff all the way to your elbow (without folding). Take the bottom part and fold it over the cuff (showing as much of the cuff as you like).
Easy sheet set storage
When you have multiple sets of sheets it can be a challenge to keep them together as a complete set. The easiest solve for this is to fold and then store the whole matching set inside one of the pillowcases for that set. That way you’ll always have a complete matching set, and it’s easy to find the sheet set that you’re looking for.
Open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew
If you ever find yourself needing to macgyver open a bottle of wine, the quickest way to do it is to push the cork inside the bottle. Do this by placing a long-necked spoon or spatula (anything similar will also work) on the top of the cork and use this to push the cork down into the bottle. Once the cork is free, you’re free to enjoy the wine. Cheers!
Get relief after eating spicy foods
If your mouth is feeling the burn from eating spicy foods (like peppers), dairy products are your fastest way to put out the fire. A glass of milk is your best option, but yogurt, ice cream, sour cream, butter or cheese can also help cool things down and reduce the pain. This works because the protein found in these dairy products (called casein) helps break the bonds of the active component in the spiciest foods (capsaicin) forms on your nerve receptors, providing almost instant relief.
Merging next to a semi-truck, road rage free
It can be frustrating and scary to merge onto a highway—especially when you’re lined up with a semi truck. But before you get angry at the truck driver for not letting you in, here’s some food for thought: In most cases, the truck can’t change lanes to let you in, because there are cars on the other side of it that you can’t see.
Keep this in mind while merging, and it can help you keep your cool.
Stress-free car rental

Check fenders, wheels, rims and bumpers . Look for small cracks in glass and dents on doors . Check the interior for tears or spills on seats. Take videos of every issue and review them on your camera to make sure you can clearly see the problematic areas.
