The greatest gift you can give someone is your own personal development

Need to iron a shirt but don’t have time? Hang it up in the bathroom while you shower and the steam combined with the heat will cause the wrinkles to come out.

If you’ve just met someone but you forget their name simply ask them what their name is. When they tell you, say “no, I meant your last name.” This way you don’t seem rude while being reminded of what their name is.

Want a cold beer but don’t want to wait? Take a wet paper towel and wrap it around the can or bottle. Place the beer upright in the freezer and it will be nicely chilled within two minutes.

Want to get more gasoline for your buck? Fill up your tank when it’s cold out. This is easy during the winter, but during warmer months, try to fill it up only at night. During the day gasoline expands due to the heat, so you’re not getting as much as you pay for.

Here’s a nice rule and it will serve you well when eating out, especially on a date. If you can’t afford to tip at least 20%, you can’t afford to go out.

Hate bad hair days, especially when it’s humid because your hair is so frizzy? Squeeze some lemon in to your shampoo bottle, the acidity will cause your hair to be less frizzy.

If you are ever worried about a cab driver scamming you by taking a longer route, put the destination in the GPS on your phone, this way it’s impossible for him to screw you over.

If you’re trying to lose weight, don’t fast. When you skip meals your body actually holds on to fat longer as it doesn’t know when it will be getting its next calorie boost, thus making it harder to burn calories from fat.

Statistically, airplane tickets are cheapest around 50 days before the flight. The second cheapest is the day of the flight because the airline is pressed to fill seats.

Drinking cold water on an empty stomach can greatly increase your metabolism. Your body has to work harder to warm the water up for digestion.

The greatest gift you can give someone is your own personal development

The greatest gift you can give somebody is your own personal development. I used to say, “If you will take care of me, I will take care of you.”

Now I say, “I will take care of me for you if you will take care of you for me.”

Whimsical and romantic by nature, I am always on the lookout for the next crazy adventure I can enjoy! I believe that life is not meant to be serious all of the time, and we should have fun as much as we can. Also, writing has always been more than a hobby for me.View Author posts

Hi!

How was your summer?

It’s been a minute since I published my last book, Color Outside the Lines back in June and things have changed a lot since then! Thank you to everyone who supported it – and for sharing it with anyone who felt like they needed a little bit of inspiration in creating their dream life and getting rid of all that anxiety and stress over being someone they were not.

Since then, I’ve been learning all about online business and spending my time building my tribe and sharing my message across a wider platform on YouTube, and which is why you’re getting this update! On this platform, I’ll be sharing all things personal development, life design, creativity, and simplicity, so if those topics resonate with you, check out my channel and subscribe below!

The greatest gift you can give someone is your own personal development

In the meantime, I want to leave you with this message:

“The greatest gift you can give somebody is your own personal development. I used to say, ‘If you take care of me, I will take care of you.’ Now I say, ‘I will take care of me for you, if you will take care of you for me.” ~ Jim Rohn

It starts with YOU. Just like the culture of a company suffers if the CEO is stressed out and angry all the time, if you don’t take care of yourself first, it will trickle down to your family, friends, children, partner, etc. Some people think it’s selfish to focus on themselves first, but how can you have healthy and happy relationships if you don’t love and care for yourself first? Be an inspiration to others and they will learn from you, and then everyone benefits in the end.

Feel free to drop me a message and let me know something you want to improve in your life, or if there’s anything you want me to talk about in future videos.
