(no idea where to get these but they look fantastic)
And thanks to friend (Rain) who submitted this little tidbit:

Late Night Owls and Exam takers!
My problem was this: I'd study all night for the final/midterm exam the next day and when I went to actually do the exam, I'd be so tired/unfocused I'd forget half of what I studied. Also, as a result of a combination of procrastination and a crazy schedule, I'd leave my studying 'til last minute (which necessitates the all-nighter).
Rhodiola's original purpose was for people working out/exercising to extend their physical and mental stamina. For me, it kept me energized, awake, and most importantly, focused while trying to write an exam for 4 hours. The best thing is that it doesn't have the calories, sugar, or crash effect of energy drinks nor does it give me the jitters like coffee does. So the minute the exam is over, I flop onto my bed and I'm out like a light.
Did I mention on the website it says Kurt Warner endorses this? Damnnnn.
Rhodiola has saved my ass so many times I can't even count. It'd be like 15minutes until the exam, I'm mad cramming, I obviously don't have time to buy a coffee (even if I wanted one) or drink an energy drink (I can't chug carbonated drinks) so I'll just pop one of these babies in and BOOM. I'm ready to destroy the exam.
You can find it here in blister packs (10 tablets). (Or you can buy 60 tablets for just twice the price of the blister packs here <-- best value)
Thanks guys for reading all this! Leave comments, constructive criticisms, your own lifehacks for me to feature on the blog (I'll credit you, don't worry haha), other lifehacks you want to see, encouragements, and if you've tried it, your own personal testimonies. :D

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
So you have questions? Well, of course you do! Here we go:
1. I want to purchase one of the products. What do I do?
First, all the products here can be found on this site. (Unless otherwise noted) You simply order online with your credit card/paypal and they deliver it straight to your door.
When you first get on the site, search for the item you wish to purchase using the search function on the upper right hand corner. (each blog post will have a link straight to that product as well). Add it to your cart and then checkout. (If you order $75+ worth of stuff, you get free shipping) Follow the steps and enter the address you wish to have it delivered to and all the required information. It's THAT simple.
2. Are the products you recommend safe? Can I trust the brands?
First of all, if you are not satisfied with ANY of these products, I have found that you can return them at any time (even if you've used it all) for a full and complete refund. This gave me the confidence to try many of these products. You don't need a reason to return, just that you didn't find what you were looking for.
Second of all, I can personally vouch for all these products. I have used some of these for a long time. I generally don't recommend a product whose results I have not seen on my own body. For some of the nutrition-related products, I have friends who studied Nutrition and other nutrition related topics for a living who have researched many different brands and found these to be the best. For the skin care/make-up related products, Artistry is in the world's Top 5 Prestige brands. They are good for sensitive skin as they do not use any harsh chemicals (but if in doubt, ask me!)
Most of these products carry no negative side-effects (that I have either experienced or researched) but if you have any underlying or pre-existing medical condition, please either talk to me or your doctor about these products!
3. What if I am not satisfied with my purchase?
If you are not satisfied for ANY reason, you can return it whether it's been used or opened or even finished for a full refund, guaranteed. (please see question 1)
4. Where do they ship to? How can I get free shipping?
You can get free shipping when you purchase $75 or more worth of products. Don't want to spend $75? Talk to me, I'll see if anyone else is purchasing at the same time and we can pool our resources! :D Also, expect to receive these products within 3 days, if you don't see it, you can contact me!
5. The products are expensive! Why do they cost so much!?
First of all, know that I am a person that really values a good buy. I love to save money and regularly use coupons and deals to save what I can (after all I'm just a poor new graduate without a full-time job yet!). That being said, there are a few things that are WORTH IT to spend the extra few dollars on. The products here are the ones that I have tried and used over the years and found as worth it. They are better quality, and in the area of nutrition/beauty, it's worth it to make sure you're getting something that's higher quality.
As well, broken down, most of them don't actually cost as much as it seems. When compared with competitors, usually the prices are LOWER. OR they are THAT much better that it's worth it to spend an extra few dollars.
Bottom line is, I've done my research, and I can show you that dollar for dollar, each of the products here are more cost-effective than anything you'll find elsewhere. (Because I'm that much of a loser that I literally research everything before I buy it) Life hacks are not supposed to be bank-breaking and I will not write about something that is either not worth the money or is wildly expensive.
6. I found 'X' product that does the SAME thing! Can I buy that instead?
Talk to me! :D Sometimes I don't even know that there are alternatives, or other ways to do the same thing. But the thing is that, I've researched a lot of different alternatives (as the money grubbing saver that I am) and I haven't found anything that comes close to doing what these hacks can do. For example, you COULD buy generic brand Vitamin C, but I assure you that it is not nearly as good as the one found on that website. (and yes I've researched all major brands) I could give you all the reasons why, just talk to me :)

Calling All You Can Eat Lovers
For my inaugural blog post, I've decided to showcase the product which has made one of the biggest impacts in my life!
So I'm looking at you, yes you. The one who just doesn't know when to stop eating (or even if you know you should stop you just can't because it's SO GOOD). No matter what your body size and appetite (*ahem Andy), you're apt to feeling bloated and tired after AYCE (all you can eat). So what I found is this magic pill (no not the kind made from mushrooms) called "Digestive Enzyme Complex" that contains enzymes (surprise surprise) which basically break down your food. Whenever we overload our stomachs with sushi goodness or all those BBQ ribs from KBBQ, these babies will help your own stomach acids fully digest it all.
I saw a live demo of this pill. (I wish I taped it) The demonstrator had a huge hard rock-like lump of cold oatmeal (yuck) in a bowl. He broke the pill open and sprinkled the powder in the pill over the oatmeal. Within less than 10minutes, the oatmeal had been completely broken down and had the consistency of milk.
Other awesome uses for it:
- Food poisoning? This will help your stomach break down whatever shouldn't be in your stomach.
- Lactose intolerant? This can help you break down the lactose in dairy products (Note: This is not for those who are EXTREMELY lactose intolerant; but those who have a mild intolerance and find it uncomfortable to eat dairy products)
- Heartburn? Reduces heartburn by aiding in your stomach's digestion
- Helps our bodies to better absorb the nutrients in our food.
One time I was on vacation and I think I got a case of food poisoning, my stomach felt like it was trying to kill me! This pretty much cleared it up in half an hour and I was able to enjoy the rest of my trip. :D
This is truly an awesome awesome product. And again, you can find it here: Digestive Enzyme Complex
Want to get it for yourself? Want more information? All the links you need are on the left hand side there. :)
Just in case you guys haven't heard of Nutrilite, it is the worlds top selling brand of vitamins and supplements, it's just not found at your local drugstore. You can only buy it online (see the left side blurb for details).
Thanks guys for reading! I hope to post more soon! Leave comments on whether you found this article interesting or not, ways I can improve, and other life problems that you want a hack for.
Happy life hacking!
