DO smudge on some lip balm for a paper cut or a shaving cut. DON'T boil cauliflower. You can lose up to 75% of the cancer-fighting "goodies" in the water. Steam your veggies instead. For the Ladies: DO use the first stall in public restrooms. It tends to be used the least. The middle stall is used the most. DO ask your hairdresser to give you "interior layers" for a fuller hairstyle. DO drink carbonated water to curb a snack attack. DO continue to wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. COVID-19 can survive on cardboard, plastic and stainless steel 1-3 days. Photo Credit: Pixabay

I’d look like a lunatic with interior layers. My hairdresser has to thin my hair. I have way too much of it. Great tips!

I never thought to put lip balm on paper cuts! I steam my cauliflower . . . but it was a taste thing as opposed to my mom who always boiled it. I hope to reunite with my hairdresser someday soon .

There are some good tips here. I usually go past the first toilet stall. I won't in future.

I did not know that about lip balm (not that I own any of that sort of thing but it's a handy tip to know). I tend to boil vegetables but I use the water to make gravy so we still get the goodness I've read various things about which stall to use - I think it varies depending on the most recent advice. I mean, if people tell you that the first one is the least used, more people will start using that one so then a different one would be better I don't know about hairdressers - I like my straight and simple hair, cut every two years, sometimes into a style but mostly just trimmed! Drinking water - that's definitely good advice. If you think you're hungry, have a drink first. Why carbonated water, though? There are posters and things all over the place about this 20 second handwashing thing, washing them more often, etc. It actually disgusts me that people weren't already doing that I timed myself washing my hands (in the way I would normally wash my hands) and it took over 40 seconds.

@LindaOHio OK, did wonder if there was something special about it. Personally, I don't like the taste so I would have still water or squash.

I think that the carbonated water is more filling than regular water. Thanks for reading and commenting!

I watched an episode of Mythbusters about ten years ago, and they did a study on which stall was used the least, therefore generally being the cleanest. And, like you said, it was the very first stall. I have tried to remember that.

I didn't know that about lip balm on a paper cut. I never thought about the middle stall being used more but it makes sense because I tend to go to a middle stall.

Sometimes one has no choice in stall use.

I agree about using the first stall. And interior layers do work for fullness.
