Today I bring you a little hack to make your home smell great. You will need the following for this:

- scented wax warmer

- your favorite (or any kind) scented washer beads (any brand will do)

If you have melted wax already in the warmer you'll want to clean that out. The method in which I get all the melted wax out works best (at least for myself). You can try it out for yourself.

First, I use a X-ACTO knife or a box cutter and slowly slice all around the edges of the wax. Then slowly slide the knife under a part of the edge you traced, so to speak. The hardend wax will slowly lift and if your lucky the entire wax will just pop out. Sometimes it'll pop out in chunks in which you would just continue to lift the hard wax with your tool of choice. Once the wax is out, use hot water to clean the wax holder. You can use a scratch pad if some wax is still present.

After the wax warmer is clean and dry, take a handful of the scented washer beads and place in the warmer before turning it on. You can adjust how much beads you put in the warmer for your own preference. Now just enjoy a fresh smelling house or room thats not over powering.

Alrighty, as a buyer as well as a seller on buy and sell market places on the web and I thought Id share my tips for both parties. This is just going to be a short post but I may come back to this and re edit it with more 'examples.'

First off, this one is for the ad posters (the person trying to sell whatever it is they are selling) here are a couple of pointers that may improve your chance of selling, not to mention potential buyers don't find appealing and wouldn't make a sale.

1). USE REAL PHOTOS

I cringe when I'm browsing through the buy and sell and an items photo is from a website or uploaded from a retail ad. Honestly, I don't even click on these ads no matter how good the deal may be. You can never be too careful!

Speaking of being too careful, this one is for you buyers out there. There are COUNTLESS scams happening, not just on buy and sell sites but text messaging as well. For now, I'm just going to give some pointers on making sure they aren't going to be scammed. Here are some scams active on many buy and sell platforms.

1. Pet Scam

This scam is just sad.

I even wanted to see for myself how bad and every single ad i responded to either gave me the exact same reason with others, didn't live anywhere near where they indicated and/or would not allow to view the animal before buying. These are all red flags. They require etransfers of larger amounts of money then what the pet was listed at. If the lister doesn't live in the same city as you, don't even bother. Also, if you are going to purchase anything from a buy and sell ad online, always make sure your able to actually see and have it in your possession.

I could go on and i just might do that in a later post. Be sure to keep an eye out for an updated post with more information for anyone out there on the world wide web.

10 Tips for Finals

Finals is waving, are you ready to wave back?Exams are not easy as you wanted it to be especially in college it will really squeeze your brain, test your knowledge and understanding. Exams also can cause stress and you are worried about it. So to avoid this kind of difficulties and procrastination in finals if you don't want to fail you need to be prepared so here are the things you need to do:

Get Plenty of Sleep

At first glance, sleep might not seem like the most important of the many study tips for finals. In reality, however, all that prep work will do little good if it’s not accompanied by plenty of shut-eye. Extensive research reveals that sleep not only improves our ability to focus, but also plays an active role in consolidating memories and making it easier to retrieve information. Slow-wave non-REM sleep, in particular, is important for memories involving facts that need to be actively recalled.

The need for sleep underscores the importance of avoiding procrastination. If you wait until the last minute to begin studying, you may panic and choose to ditch sleep in favor of cramming. The sooner you get started, the less likely you’ll have to endure all-nighters later on.

If you’re currently struggling to get quality sleep, you’re far from alone. Still, college doesn’t need to be a time of minimal shut-eye. Make an active effort to improve sleep hygiene by removing TVs and mobile devices from your room, getting on as consistent of a schedule as possible, and avoiding caffeine in the evening.

Create a Study-Oriented Space

Is your workspace conducive to studying? Or do you simply hang out with your laptop and textbook wherever you can find a comfy spot?

Environment matters. You might find it difficult to focus if your space is cluttered or chock full of distracting devices.

If possible, set up a nook exclusively dedicated to studying. This area should include a desk, an ergonomic chair, quality lighting, and any materials you might require during your study session. Let your roommates, family members, or other fellow residents know that, when you sit down at your desk, you are not to be disturbed.

Level Up Your Playlist

The right music can make your study session both more enjoyable and more effective. Several studies highlight the value of classical music, in particular. For example, in a study published in Learning and Individual Differences, researchers discovered that lectures involving classical background music prompted higher quiz scores than similar lectures that lacked such music.

The main theory underscoring these results: Music places students in a heightened emotional state that makes them far more receptive to information than they would be under ordinary circumstances. Experts at the Duke Cancer Institute also believe that music boosts retention because it reduces anxiety.

Ditch Distracting Devices

In today’s digital world, it’s tough to go even a few minutes without glancing at our smartphones. Unfortunately, this dependence can cause big problems when it’s time to buckle down and study. Research suggests that the mere presence of a smartphone is enough to prevent most people from learning effectively—even when showing restraint and managing to avoid scrolling through notifications.

While apps and alarms might seem helpful, they may not make up for the inherent distraction that comes with keeping your phone in your study space. For best results, commit to turning your phone off for at least an hour and placing it in a safe space as far from your desk as possible.

Experiment With a Variety of Study Tactics

No one study method works equally well for everyone. Some people learn best from reading notes out loud, while others benefit from flashcards or highlighters. Experiment with several approaches until you find a strategy that best addresses your unique needs. Don’t be surprised, however, if a single method fails to deliver results for every subject. A specific strategy may prove more effective for one course than for others, so don’t be afraid to switch things up as soon as your approach appears to deliver diminishing returns.

Create Sample Test Questions

As you try different approaches to studying, consider this effective option: Develop and answer questions that might realistically be found on your exams.

This method provides a variety of benefits. First, it forces you to boil down weeks of learning into a few basic takeaways. Details matter, of course, but it’s equally important to understand the big picture.

Writing sample questions also allows you to think like an instructor. This thought process may benefit you when the actual exam arrives. Finally, self-created tests help you determine where your main gaps in knowledge lie for a clear indication of the topics that warrant closer review.

Get Involved with a Study Group

It’s never too late to start a study group. While these gatherings are most beneficial if they take place throughout the entire course of the semester, they can provide plenty of value in the last few days before finals. If nothing else, commiserating over test prep may ease your stress.

Many of the tactics highlighted above can be integrated into group efforts. For example, everybody in your group can be tasked with creating flashcards from a specific lecture or chapter in your textbook. These can then be mixed and used for the ultimate flashcard review session. Likewise, participants could develop sample questions to be compiled and used in a practice exam.

Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help

Exam prep may feel lonely at times, but you can take solace in knowing that you’re never truly alone. Numerous resources are available to help you conquer difficult material and deal with pre-exam stress.

Begin by turning to your fellow classmates or study group members for assistance. Even a brief chat could trigger valuable insights or provide the motivation needed to push through when the going gets tough.

Don’t hesitate to seek help from your instructors. Office hours exist for a reason, and yet, far too many students are too intimidated to chat up those in the best position to help.

The sooner you get over this discomfort, the better. Not only will increased interaction with your instructor prove helpful for short-term test prep, you could build a strong relationship to form the basis of your college networking efforts.

Keep the Big Picture in Mind

Final exams aren’t designed to torture stressed-out students. There’s more to this college essential than grades alone. It’s the perfect example of the cliché about the journey being more important than the destination. The act of studying for your finals ensures that you fully engage with the extensive material covered throughout the duration of each course.

If you take exam prep seriously, you’ll come away with a richer understanding of key concepts. This, in turn, will ensure that you retain the knowledge you’ve worked so hard to gain. As you move forward with upper-level courses, graduate school, or your eventual career, you’ll thank yourself for putting in the effort.
