How to remember people's names
My friend Devin recently told me a random tip about how to remember names. It's not flashy or clever, but it works like a charm: If a new person tells you his or her name, picture someone else you know with the same name.
For example, the other day, we were hanging out at the playground, and my friend introduced me to her newborn baby, Jack. I immediately pictured
this handsome fellow. Now I'll never forget it.
(The catch: It only works with common names. Otherwise you're on your own:)
How do you remember names? Any other good tricks?
P.S.
How to introduce someone, and
how to do anything.

Last night, I had a headache, and as I rooted around in our medicine cabinet for Advil, I came across this headache soother, which my old roommate had given me. She swore by the stuff, so I decided to give it a try. You just massage it onto your temples and forehead; the Menthol Crystals feel cool and calming, while the lavender relaxes you. And lo and behold...it worked like a charm.

Do you have bangs? Do you want them? You can cut your own bangs at home—it's actually not that hard. Our cute reader Ambika, above, wanted to learn how to create bangs, so my friend Reagan, a hair stylist, agreed to show us how it's done...
For the past three years, I cut Toby's hair myself. But I had no clue what I was doing! He would end up with shaggy hair and Dumb-and-Dumber bangs. Thankfully, this weekend, my friend Reagan, a hair stylist, agreed to teach me...Read More >
