Don't Just Shop, Be Smart at It!
With the economy fluctuating like a roller-coaster ride over the past few years, the inflation rates are huge and the prices for everything are going up by the day. That holds true for the stuff we use on a daily basis like groceries, toiletries, baby products, stationery, medicines, etc. Even when it comes to travelling or taking loans, things have become a bit on the steeper side for the average earner. In such a scenario, how can one help himself and his pocket? Does he stop buying the stuff that he needs? Does he stop stepping out of the house for an occasional vacation?

Library Secrets
I have learned quite a bit working as a library assistant, including several useful tips for book enthusiasts. Interestingly, the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes at libraries (and other book related institutions) is astounding. When we check out books, we do not consider the amount of care it takes to process and care for thousands if not millions of books every year. Hours can be spent on laborious repairs which take merely seconds to undo. Caring for library books is an important aspect of being a patron and utilizing public property. The following tips can also be very useful for the usability and prolongation of the lifespan of your personal and loaned books.

4 Steps to Un-F*ck Your Life a Little
We've all had those moments when we feel like we're drowning in our stuff. It's an uncomfortable feeling for two reasons: It is completely and entirely our own doing. A little elf didn't buy a bunch of shit and put it all over your home. It's an unfriendly reminder of the materialistic culture we don't like to associate ourselves with. How can we complain about having so much while others have so little?

How to Become A Mole in About Five Seconds
I'm a little bit strapped for cash right now, and after dropping a load of money another costume, my organic chemistry professor offered extra credit if we came to class in a chemistry-related costume. I had absolutely no idea what to go as. Ultimately, I decided to go as a mole, and anybody that's had even one chemistry class in their lifetime knows exactly why this is related to chemistry.

Clever Ways to Spend Less Money This Month
A lot of us, and I mean a lot of us spend so much money on unnecessary things. From splurge shopping to dropping $50 on lunch with friends, we really do let our money go to waste. And most of the time, we spend money out of pleasure… Yes, I’m admitting it. I’m the type of person to drop $100 on a bottle of wine, and I actually have once (but I slightly don’t regret it) — but my wallet wasn’t too happy. I could've used that $100 to pay off some of my credit card debt. Instead, I added more onto my plate and soon I'll be drowning in debt if I don't start spending less these days.

How To Manage Your "Wall Warts"
Most people own or have owned more than two or three (in most cases MANY) electronic devices (like cordless phones, digital cameras, cell phones, tablets, Personal Computers, Image Scanners, Printers, IP Cameras). If that description fits you, you probably have a bunch of "wall warts" sitting in drawers all over your house. If you have ever moved, you have probably accidentally separated one or more of the devices from their chargers or power supplies. This is frustrating because eventually you collect all the adapters, chargers, and power supplies into one place and can't figure out which one goes with which device. If this resonates with you at all, read on.
