Echo Woven wants to present a compilation of tips that we incorporated into our daily lives as soon as we learned them. Maybe you will find them useful as well.\n\n

\n

1. If you don\u2019t want to buy special sauce cups, you can just\u00a0use\u00a0regular muffin trays.\n\n

2. Make sure your house number is\u00a0visible from the street.\n\n

It\u00a0will\u00a0help\u00a0make deliveries easier and it\u2019s better for emergency services in\u00a0case they need to\u00a0come to\u00a0your house.\n

\n

3. Wash your snapback with a\u00a0balloon inside of\u00a0it\u00a0so\u00a0it\u00a0keeps the shape.\n\n

4. You can hang your shopping bags that don\u2019t fit by\u00a0hanging them on\u00a0the back of\u00a0the cart.\n\n

5. If\u00a0your electricity goes down and you\u2019re not sure if\u00a0it\u2019s just your apartment, look at\u00a0the Wi-Fi connections list.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n\n\n\n
\n

There\u00a0will be\u00a0no\u00a0nearby Wi-Fi signals if\u00a0the lights went out for everyone. This way, you will get your answer more easily than going out and asking your neighbors directly!\n\n

\n

6. Always mention your allergies to\u00a0the servers.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Instead of\u00a0saying that you want a\u00a0dish to\u00a0be\u00a0gluten-free, for example, specifically\u00a0mention\u00a0that you are allergic to\u00a0gluten. Otherwise, the restaurant has the right to\u00a0prepare your dish using the same equipment as\u00a0the dishes prepared with gluten, so\u00a0you might still get the ingredient you are allergic to\u00a0in\u00a0your food.\n\n

\n

7. Put some coconut oil or\u00a0any other skin-friendly oil on\u00a0your hands after touching hot peppers so\u00a0it\u00a0won\u2019t burn your eyes in\u00a0case you rub them.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n\n\n\n
\n

You\u00a0can\u2019t get\u00a0red pepper off of\u00a0your skin just by\u00a0washing your hands with soap like you normally would because the capsaicin in\u00a0it\u00a0is\u00a0fat-soluble. Use\u00a0coconut oil (or\u00a0even olive oil) instead and prevent unpleasant situations!\n\n

\n

8. You can save some water and your time by\u00a0turning your shower to\u00a0hot water first thing.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n\n
\n

\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

The temptation to\u00a0turn your shower knob to\u00a0your desired water temperature is\u00a0understandable, but it\u00a0almost\u00a0always\u00a0turns out to\u00a0be\u00a0too cold because wasted cold water comes out first, and it\u00a0may take time for hot water to\u00a0heat\u00a0up. So\u00a0right off the bat, turn on\u00a0hot water\u00a0\u2014 this way, you will save time, water, and money.\n\n

\n

9. If\u00a0your dog is\u00a0sniffing something while on\u00a0a\u00a0walk, instead of\u00a0pulling the leash immediately, start counting down out loud for about 3\u00a0seconds.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n\n\n\n
\n

Dogs can recognize human speech at\u00a0least a\u00a0little bit, so\u00a0your\u00a0dog\u00a0will\u00a0catch on\u00a0to\u00a0your countdown and stop sniffing before the countdown is\u00a0over. This will prevent unnecessary stress for the dog from being pulled away out of\u00a0the blue.\n\n

\n

10. If\u00a0you have trouble sleeping, using a\u00a0humidifier could help.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n\n
\n

\n
\n
\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

There are a\u00a0lot of\u00a0factors that can cause restlessness, like, for example,\u00a0dry air\u00a0\u2014 especially during the winter. So\u00a0using a\u00a0humidifier could help you sleep better.\n\n

\n

11. When you bring home a\u00a0new plant, put it\u00a0somewhere bright and don\u2019t touch it\u00a0for about a\u00a0week.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n\n\n\n
\n

In\u00a0the wild,\u00a0plants\u00a0don\u2019t move anywhere, so\u00a0migrating from place to\u00a0place is\u00a0a\u00a0shock\u00a0to\u00a0them. Give your plant some time to\u00a0adjust by\u00a0leaving it\u00a0alone at\u00a0first and letting it\u00a0get used to\u00a0the environment. There\u2019s no\u00a0need to\u00a0water it\u00a0straight away either if\u00a0you don\u2019t know for sure that it\u00a0hasn\u2019t been watered in\u00a0the previous place. Putting plants through a\u00a0lot of\u00a0shocks at\u00a0once (migration, re-potting, overfeeding, etc.) might cause them to\u00a0wither.\n\n

\n

12. Set 2\u00a0alarms in\u00a0the morning\u00a0\u2014 first a\u00a0vibrating one, then an\u00a0audible one.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Setting a\u00a0vibrating alarm first will\u00a0help\u00a0gently pull you out of\u00a0your sleep, and the second alarm with sound will make sure you are fully awake.\n\n

\n

13. Brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n\n\n\n
\n

This way, you\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0brush your teeth too fast or\u00a0press on\u00a0them too hard. It\u2019s also a\u00a0good exercise for the non-dominant side of\u00a0your brain, helping it\u00a0develop.\n\n
