There are things in this life you can do to make the every day struggle a bit easier.
Here are nine essential life hacks you need to know to save time and space while being creative.
How to tell if your eggs are fresh.
A fresh egg will sink to the bottom of a bowl of water an will lay on it’s side. A week old egg will rest on the bottom with the fat end of the egg slightly gravitating. Three week old eggs will be balanced on the thin pointy end with the fat end up. Now, when your egg floats and bobs along the surface of the water they are bad eggs and should not be eaten.
