Freezing bananas

Did you know you can freeze bananas? I learned this a few years ago, and was reminded to put it down as a lesson learned by Laren. Once bananas get to that browning point and too soft to taste good, they are perfect for banana bread and more in baking. Just throw them in the freezer until you have time to use them, then just thaw them a little before throwing them in the ingredients.

Tipping your hair stylist

When I started college, I had never gotten my hair cut professionally. I had no idea you are supposed to tip the person who cuts your hair. I was mortified when, after my third cut, a friend mentioned the tip she'd given her stylist that day. Just a little advice for some of you who may not know: Tip your stylist! (You probably know it already!)
