Homemade Tooth Whitener: Put a tiny bit of toothpaste in a small cup, mix in one teaspoon baking soda, one teaspoon hydrogen peroxide and half a teaspoon water. Mix thoroughly and then brush your teeth for two minutes. Do it once a week until you have reached your desired results.

Superman Exercise: Lay face down on your stomach with arms and legs extended and neck in a neutral position. You should look like you are flying like Supermam. Keep your arms and legs straight (not locked) and torso stationary. Simultaneously lift your arms and legs up toward the ceiling to form an elongated “u” shape with your body. Your should arch and your arms and legs should lift several inches off the floor. Hold for two to five seconds and lower back down to complete one. Great for your core (mid-section), glutes and low back.

Time yourself! If you don't have time to clean the whole house, then give yourself 15 minutes to do a quick run-through and clean just a little. A messy house is one thing but a dirty house is a whole other story. A dirty house is just lazy and a messy house may be just really bad time management. For a quick me up, pick up after yourself.

When 'using' money, make certain you are taking care of your needs before your wants. Need vs. Want. Need equals survival. Are your needs met or are your desires met? Further, do not tell yourself that you deserve a 'want' if in fact you don't. It's better to wait for the Universe to reward you for a job well done, rather than get 'it' and then have 'it' taken away.

Think first! The most productive people are those who think out various scenario's that might work better. This means that you must be open-minded to other options. Leave the, "My way or the highway" approach to the individuals who have the mindset of 'same place next year'.

If you aren't a meal prepper yet, then a few days before the New Year is the perfect timing to get your mind set on becoming a meal prepper. Start getting your Rubbermaid containers ready, ZipLoc baggies ready, mason jars ready and labeling items ready. I use masking tape and sharpies for my labeling. Ready? Set? Go!
