Kill Weeds with Salt and Vinegar: 
If you worry about the health and environmental risks of commercial herbicides, you can make a solution of salt and vinegar to permanently remove any weeds from gravel drives, cracks and crevices. Warning: Nothing will grow there again, ever, when you spray the mixture, so be sure not to put it anywhere that you want grass, flowers or vegetables to thrive. Mix one gallon of white household vinegar with one cup of table salt and one tablespoon of liquid dishwashing soap. Blend the mixture thoroughly, and funnel into a sprayer. Coat all surfaces of the weeds on a dry, sunny day. The plants will die within several days. 

Sleep Better with Bedside Plant:
Decorating your nightstand with a jade, silver dollar, or snake plant or even a holiday cactus ensures you’ll wake up feeling sunny. These succulents fuel your body with brain-nourishing oxygen while you snooze. Harvard scientists say waking up after breathing in that extra oxygen lifts your spirits by 20 percent. In addition, surrounding yourself with greenery reminds you of your connection to nature, helping you feel more upbeat in just two days.

Sharpen Focus by Brushing Your Hair:
Feeling foggy? Do something out of the ordinary by brushing your hair with your least dominant hand. Changing even small parts of your daily routine encourages the brain to churn out more of a focus-enhancing chemical called acetylcholine, which sharpens concentration by 45% in 60 seconds.

Banish Pesky Garden Slugs:
If you find that your outdoor plants are being munched on by slugs, try this: Place a circle of pennies (dated before 1982) on the soil around the base of any plants that show signs of damage. The copper in the older coins gives slugs a tiny shock when they come in contact with them, so they’ll avoid the area.
