Don’t leave your cell phone plugged in overnight — and unplug it as soon as the battery reaches 100 percent. Few things are more irritating than a low battery alert, but keeping your phone plugged in for too long actually prevents it from holding its charge for longer. Also, keep your device away from too much heat because it literally can’t handle high temperatures. If you’re going to be outside all day (hello, music festival season), keep it shielded as much as you can and turn it off periodically. Check out more of our best battery-saving tips. [Swirled]

Yes, you’ve been washing your face forever — but are you really doing it right? First things first, be sure to wash your hands before you wash your face to keep all the germs away.

Did You Know? When you pair caffeine with a pain reliever, it makes the medicine a whopping 40 percent more effective because it helps your body absorb the active ingredients more quickly. But if you’re sensitive to caffeine, hold off on popping pills like Midol Complete and Excedrin Extra Strength to keep the jitters away. [Swirled]

Travel
Coral reefs are a stunning natural wonder — but sadly, nearly all the reefs in the United States will be gone in 30 years due to warming ocean temperatures. The silver lining is that you can still visit the reefs and make those visits as green as possible by wearing natural sunscreen (remember to apply more often), traveling with an eco-certified tour and avoiding coral jewelry and souvenirs.
