  • Oranges. If you’re looking for an easy way to brighten up your kitchen or dining room, look no further than your produce section. Displaying oranges is said to bring wealth and luck in Chinese culture.
  • Grapefruit. It’s almost summertime, which can only mean one thing: fruity cocktails! If super sweet concoctions aren’t your thing, opt for a grapefruit drink, instead. This citrus is tart and flavorful.
  • Limes. The lime is lemon’s less famous little brother, but he has some serious cleaning and cooking credentials of his own. In the kitchen, use lime juice to remove dark stains from the inside of a coffee pot.

  • Fix a Wobbly Door. If you have a wobbly door, your problem is likely a stripped-screw, loose-hole combo on the hinges. This can be a hassle to fix, so here’s a little trick: Remove the stripped screw.
  • Easily Open Boxes. Thanks to modern advances in packing tape, opening a box can sometimes feel like breaking into Fort Knox. Become a package-opening expert by using the sharp end of a golf tee to break into the box.
