  There are a lot of different tricks out there to get promoted, but many are so widely known that the effects of the strategies get diluted with all the people who are trying to attempt them. If you’re looking for less common tips to get promoted, look no further. Below is Lifehack’s guide to ways to get promoted in ways a lot of people aren’t aware of. 1. Seek Out Ways To Improve Your Place Of Work There’s little as impressive as solving a problem that your coworkers and boss didn’t even know existed. If you keep an eye out you are sure to find some kind of flaw that’s slowing down or prohibiting workflow. Don’t overstep your bounds in your search (like by criticizing a co-worker to your boss) but feel free to look for things that would only require a small fix to increase productivity. 2. Have A Slightly Competitive Relationship With Your Boss A “yes man” is boring, and can only go so far. Don’t be too afraid to treat your employer like a peer. Just...

Many people might not know it, but traveling is the school of life. Traveling is more than a leisure or a pleasure you can give to yourself. It is more than an activity or a sweet escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. There are so many things that you can learn from the road, life lessons that nobody can teach you unless you experience them yourself. Traveling is actually an open invitation that urges you to be the best version of yourself you can be. It plays an important role not only in your personal development but can make a great impact on your career journey too. Some people don’t understand the constant need to pack up and head to different places and gain experiences. They chose to squander their time working in their day job and get stuck in the monotonous routine of daily life. Taking time off or a break to travel can make a huge difference in your life, and definitely in your career as well. Here are 10 important lessons you can acquire from tra...

Hummus is one of the healthiest party dips out there. Chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans) are packed with fiber, while protein-rich tahini (sesame seed paste) is bursting with mind-blowing super vitamins and minerals such as calcium, potassium, vitamin E and vitamins B1, B3, B5, and B15.  Add some zesty garlic, lemon juice, olive oil  and salt, and you have a taste sensation – perfect with potato chips, carrot sticks or any kind of bread! But did you know that you can make your own hummus for a fraction of the supermarket price?  With this kitchen hack, you can make hummus in 3 easy steps: just blend, transfer and garnish. Nothing could be easier, and nothing will impress your guests more than when you claim you have just  “whipped up” a batch of smooth, healthy, zesty hummus. You need only 6 simple ingredients: 1 clove garlic 1 can chickpeas, drained (reserve a few for garnish) 1 lemon, squeezed 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste) 2 tablespoon...

looking healthy and being in great shape is important. As a fitness professional myself, I can’t stress enough the benefits of exercising and how it benefits all facets of our life. But, your appearance isn’t the only metric that matters in this world. Looks don’t last forever, they fade over time. Having a superficial mindset limits you on the great people you can meet in this world. A healthy look is important, but displaying great character and personality is most important. Great character and personality isn’t defined by how much you deadlift, how much you weigh, or how much money you have. You can look good while adding value to your character and personality by improving on these areas below: 1. Be your own person Do you sacrifice your identity to fit in with the mainstream? Do you get uncomfortable going against the majority? Are you a sheep who blends in with the flock?  Or, are you a wolf, who stands out from the pack? Being yourself is about having ...

A rubber wine stopper is probably the best investment made to extend the lives of many bottles of wine. That being said, putting a reusable stopper in an open bottle of wine does not completely seal off the liquid, and your wine will still expire if you leave it for too long. You have surely heard about the delicate balance of tastes at work in wine, and an opened bottle of wine is similar to a ticking time bomb. The question is, then, how long will an opened bottle of wine last? Based on this article from The Savory , the amount of time that wine lasts is based on the type of wine it is. The deeper the red, the longer it lasts. Sparkling wines such as champagne should be consumed within a few hours. An opened bottle of wine that has expired won’t actually do you any harm, but its taste will be off — it can range from tasting more acidic than intended to being downright nasty. Check out this infographic to find out how long to keep your pinot around! Love ...
