know when you must make an unexpected overnight trip and need to pack in a hurry? Instead of worrying about whether you’re going to forget something, keep a pre-packed kit of products under your bathroom sink
and have the option to pack yourself some dark chocolate covered raisins as a snack and what could be better than that? Need some ideas? Goggle: Healthy and delicious lunches for work.
you probably tend to gravitate towards during the afternoon, but they’re not really doing your body or brain any good. Instead, keep a stash of healthy snacks at your desk to perk yourself up and feel less defeated during the workday. Choose from nuts, string cheese, jerky, crackers, veggie chips, dark choco- late, trail mix, yogurt, granola, protein bars, apples, carrots, popcorn, bananas, or dried fruit.
so you can grab it in a hurry. Those sample sachets of shampoo and that mini-cleanser you got in last month’s Birchbox are perfect for putting into your kit.
9. ALWAYS KEEP VINEGAR AT HOME. Do you know how many things you can do with vinegar? A MILLION, well a lot anyway. You can clean your house with it, clean your jewelry, prevent running colors in your laundry, remove stains, remove candle wax, unclog drains, remove bumper stick- ers... the list goes on! Talk about a product that makes life easier.
6. USE THE 50/30/20 RULE. When it comes to budgeting money, most of us are clueless. I was never taught this sort of stuff in school! But I’ve learned that a good rule of thumb is to spend 50% of your monthly income on living expenses, 30% on lifestyle, and 20% should go to savings. Goggle: Free budgeting spreadsheet to make it easier for you.
10. LISTEN TO PODCASTS & AUDIO BOOKS. You get to learn while doing stuff that might otherwise be wasting your time (i.e. commuting). Sometimes I find that I’m able to process information a lot quicker through audio rather than reading. Also, never underestimate the usefulness of the library. I always download audio books and e-books from my library, rather than buying them.
12. WRITE YOUR TO-DO LIST BEFORE BED. Instead of taking 10 min- utes to prepare your to-do list in the morning (when you could already be gettin’ down to business), write your list before bed. This way, those pesky to-dos will be outta your head, and you’ll have much a more peaceful sleep.
7. INVEST IN A CROCKPOT. Okay, it’s not even really an investment, is it? They’re like $30. But crockpots can make even the worst of chefs into Jamie Oliver, and you get to come home to a meal that’s ready to eat immediately. BAM!
13. SLOW DOWN. So many of us are rushing through life, trying to get a million things done at once while attempting to absorb as much information as we can at the same time. Take a few minutes to think about the areas of your life where you’ve been rush- ing and come up with a plan to slow down and be a little more deliberate.
8. MAKE YOUR LUNCH THE NIGHT BEFORE WORK. If you make your lunches ahead of time, you’ll make healthier choices
11. KEEP HEALTHY SNACKS AT YOUR DESK. Most offices have an unlimited supply of chips and M&Ms that
