Did you know that if a Duracell battery leaks, and destroys one of your devices, the company will replace the device if it is sent to them with the defective batteries still in place.

If you work in customer service, put a mirror behind you. Customers will be nicer because no one wants to see themselves being a jerk.

When taking notes in class, always leave a few pages in the front for a table of contents This will make it 100 times easier at the end of the year to study from once you have a full notebook.

In a public bathroom the stall which is the closest to the door is usually the cleanest because it’s the least used.

You can heal paper cuts and immediately stop the pain with chapstick.

You are more likely to remember something you’ve written in blue ink than something you’ve written in black ink.

Looking for something? Scan right to left with your eyes. You’l pick up more since your brain isn’t used to reading that way.

Struggling with your diet? Cut only processed foods. You’ll feel an immediate difference and it will motivate you to keep going!

The faster you eat the more weight you gain.

A venti size at Starbucks fits perfectly into two tall sizes. If you’re with a friend, and just want a tall, it’s cheaper to just split on one

venti. A venti Frappuccino can cost $4.95 and one tall can cost $3.95, you’ll save about $1.50

Nervous about a speech, presentation, or first date? Blow on your thumb. The vagus nerve, which connects to your thumb, controls

your heart rate, and by blowing on it your heart rate will return to normal. Really???

Gatorade or Powerade is only healthy when it’s during a workout, and watered down. Otherwise it’s all just extra sugar and empty calories.

I love creating new ideas. And now that I am happily retired, I have lots more time to create them! Whether its crafts for decorating my home, or up cycling items I find at garage sales, thrift stores, and even on the curb, and turning them into something wonderful. The creative juices flowing in my head are almost always in overdrive....so many ideas! I love sharing my new ideas with all of you! So please follow me and let me know how I'm doing! I hope I can inspire you.....and if I do....send me a pic. I would love to see your creation.

      1. Several. Definitely the Duracell battery situation. Also, the public bathroom stall selection. I used blue ink exclusively when I was working and was known for it! Now I know I should continue the practice. The Starbucks venti is a no brainer! I only order tall for myself and so does my coffee buddy.

  3. Putting a mirror behind you to improve customers manners had me laughing. What a great idea. And I scanned the room from right to left when I read that. I think you might me right with that one too, I seem to see much more. Great little ideas Kelley.
