• Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.
  
• If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)
  
• Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.
• You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)
• Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.
• Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.
• To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.
• Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.
• Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.
• If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.
• Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.
• After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.
• Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.
• Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.

To all the kids whose parents couldn’t help you with this kind of stuff

Addition: the natural acidity of a vagina can bleach the gusset on darker underwear. It’s perfectly normal.

i did not know some of this stuff, so useful!

The best thing you can do to keep your skin clear (aside from washing) is to frequently change your pillowcase. Throw on a fresh one every day if you want. Get nice cotton pillowcases at Ross.

Believe it or not, oil helps, too. It actually straight up cleared my skin up/balanced it out, to moisturize it with grapeseed oil after washing. Almond oil is good, too, or any kind of light oil. Just research around and find which ones don’t clog pores. Because skin loves oil, and it will fight you if it gets denied. 

^This ties in with why you should use conditioner first + less shampoo than you think you should - your natural oils your body usually produces aren’t that bad for you until they build up excess. You body makes oils for a reason, and unless you have some problem otherwise, you usually don’t want to be depriving your body of it more than needed
