Make a favorable impression on anyone!
Your husband is up for a promotion at work so you need to make a good impression at the Christmas party this year. As you mingle, show you appreciate the other person's company by putting your hand on their upper arm for two seconds while talking to them.

Stretch new leather boots, for good!
Have you bought a new pair of knee high boots but after only a day of wearing them, your boots are pinching your swollen legs. Well here is an easy way to stretch out your leather boots for good. Fill several re-sealable plastic freezer bags with water and stuff them into your boots. Then put each boot in a kitchen garbage bag and pop in freezer for 24 hours. Water expands as it freezes, so your boots will stretch, as well. Just let the ice thaw before you remove the bag of the boots.
Discreetly freshen breath after meals.
Bothered by breath that's not up to par? Just sip a steaming cup of black tea. Offensive smelling breath is a result of digestive enzymes in the mouth that produce odor causing porphyromanas gingvalis. But the plant chemicals catechin and theaflavin in black tea "deactivate" the stinky bacteria, letting you exhale worry free!
