Teach kids about values using movies

Having trouble teaching your kid about values? Try using children's movies with valuable moral lessons as an example.

Have family bonding projects

Encourage family bonding by doing a project like making a scrapbook or running a marathon together.

Wear clothes that benefit your body shape

If your body is pear-shaped, draw attention to your waist and upper body with a-line skirts.

Let your appreciation for nature help you de-stress

Take time out of your day to appreciate the sunset or look at the sky from outside your office window. This also serves as an effective "eyebreaker" when you get too engrossed in work.

Mentally prepare yourself for the day

Reserve time for a 10-minute meditation session before you go to work. It helps focus your mind for what's coming ahead.

Cancel unused subscriptions

Need to cut down on expenses? Cancel any subscriptions or memberships you're not using anymore. You might be surprised by how much you'll be saving.

Converse with your guy regularly

If you and your man need to improve your listening skills in your relationship, schedule some talk time everyday. Share what you did during the day and let banter flow freely.

Give him time to talk when you're discussing a problem

Remember that a relationship is all about two people. Avoid monopolizing the conversation when you're trying to solve a problem. Listen to his side first and try not to jump to conclusions.

Make time for your man's interests

Having trouble connecting with your man? Improve your relationship by learning about his hobbies. You don't have to take up golfing if he does, but knowing about it will show him that you care.

Help your kid learn about budgeting

Teach your child to budget at a young age. If he or she wants a new toy or gadget, work up a plan where he or she pays for half of it through regular deductions from weekly or monthly allowances.

Make colored ice cubes for a party.

Want to snazzy up a dinner party? Add a drop or two of blue food coloring to the water you'll be putting in ice trays, then freeze. Once these hit sub-zero, crack and serve with your drinking water.

Limit shower time to keep your skin healthy

Don't take forever in the shower! Your skin isn't meant to be immersed in water for too long, especially not on a daily basis, so save yourself from wrinkly or itchy skin by limiting your showers to 10 to 15 minutes.

Cut down on coffee intake to keep your skin youthful

Caffeinated beverages can dehydrate your skin, so try to cut coffee and other drinks with this upper out of your lifestyle as much as possible to keep wrinkles at bay.

Save money by putting change in a coin bank

You’re never too old to use a piggy bank. At the end of the day, empty your pockets of any loose change and drop them in a coin bank.

Arrange playdates for your kids

Involve yourself in your child’s life by inviting his friends over for a playdate. While you’re at it, invite the mommies of his pals as well for some girl bonding.
