Ever have a song stuck in your head but you aren't sure of the name? Or maybe you're curious on how to get rid of that pesky mosquito bite instead of itching your arm off! No worries, because below I have compiled a list of 10 life hacks that will make your life just a little bit easier!
1. Check if an egg is good by putting it in water
Ever have a carton of eggs that have been in the fridge for a little longer than you would like to admit? we've all been there. Just take each egg and place it in a cup of water. If the egg sinks then it is still good. If it floats then you need to throw that sucker away!
2. Buying a birthday card along with your embarrassing items
When you're at the store and you have to purchase something embarrassing or awkward, do what you do best. Blame it on someone else. Let's say you had to buy something along the lines of condoms or maybe even something for personal care, buy a birthday card with it. This way the cashier at the store or your 5th-grade science teacher who just happens to be behind you in line thinks its a gag gift for someone's birthday.
3. Press '#' to redo a voicemail
We've all called an employer, or a distant relative that we don't know very well and accidentally left and excruciatingly awkward voicemail. You know, the kind where you continue to say 'Umm,' and trip over your words until you finally hang-up. There's a way to fix this! After you decided that your voicemail will probably make your employer think twice about you, press the "#' key! It will give you the option to start over.
4. Put sugar on a burnt tongue
Don't you hate when you gobble down that tray of piping hot pizza rolls a little too quickly and realize your tongue is numb yet on fire all at once? Same. Put a little bit of sugar on your tongue, it should help! This way you can proceed to devour those tasty bite-sized pizza pockets.
5. Place a hot spoon on an itchy mosquito bite
When summer rolls around, those of us that love the outdoors get bitten by mosquitos so much that others might think we have leprosy. Instead of itching away at that annoying little bump, press a hot spoon on it. It will help eliminate the itch and alleviate some of the pain.

Makeup is expensive, and it's annoying to have to buy a new tube of mascara every three months if you don't really use it often. Take your old crusty mascara and place 1-3 drops of saline solution in it to bring it back to life!
