What are some life hacks that you practice?

I thought it was just a farse to heat up wax before applying but it actually speeds up the application. I just waxed my Barbour jacket & by using boiling water I cut the waxing by a whole hour.

It’s a hack they tell you on the box.

I try to have my laptop download new updates Before I have to use it. It doesn’t always work but I try. Like this week it failed miserably. It started wanting to download during a meeting I had.

Doing laundry on days that are not filled with obligation. I find that doing laundry on days I have time is much better.

My favorite hack is using vinegar on dog smells & baking soda on my laundry to get the odours out. I buy it droves & large containers are cheap. It strengthens the power of the detergent. It also works on smelly shoes & is an excellent stain remover.

Wearing wool when it’s raining & I’m not outside much. I get really burnt out on wearing rain gear 10 months of the year. Hence, I wear wool.

We always make 3-4 portions for dinner even if there’s only 2 of us. That way my husband always has lunch & so do I. We also only try to grocery shop once a week. That way we can plan our meals & don’t need to run to the store.

Do you believe in karma?

Yep. I believe in karma & when you do bad things towards others that are good people you deserve what happens to you.

I think karma is better than revenge & trying to argue with an ugly, mean person. It means you let the universe take care of their bad intent. So you don’t have to.

Karma does something else it shows people true colors. By that I mean, if someone calls you crazy just walk away because they’re talking about themselves & not you.

I think being honest, open & good person means that sometimes I make the bus I thought I’d miss. Sometimes it means I score a free cappuccino from a friend. Sometimes it means my hair looks good for days & not just one day.

What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?

In August of 2016 I was visiting my relatives in northern Norway & called my husband. I asked him IF I found an apartment furnished if we could move there & “try it” for 3 months.

He said Yes & now we’ve been here a decade. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m happy that we have a functioning government & that healthcare works.

I don’t miss where we lived before, things are too far gone there. Here I feel safe knowing that the government works.
