QUICK LINT REMOVER

Use sticky labels. They work faster than a skinny strip of tape.

BUTTON POPS

Strip the paper off a storage bag tie and use the metal to thread through the buttonhole. Twist it at the back to stay put.

Grab some dental floss and pass it through

the hole where the button fell off, and through the buttonhole. Tie the ends together.

EMERGENCIES

STOP HUNGER QUICKLY

Using a circular motion, rub the area between your upper lip and nose with your index finger for ten seconds. This fools the brain into signal­ing the stomach that it’s satisfied.

GET A FLAT TUMMY

Keep away from carbonated beverages, even fizzy water, which can introduce air into the stomach.

Don’t chew gum or sip from a straw because you’ll swallow air.

Keep gas away by staying away from beans, cauliflower, peppers, and onions.
