Neuroscientist Clea Warburton explains that a large part of our brain is dedicated to visual processing, so we naturally encode images more strongly than sounds.

She also says it's not just about memory, it's about attention.

You usually hear someone's name once, right at the start, but their face, you see it the whole time, so your brain has more chances to lock it in.

So why do we remember some names, but not others?

it could come down to interest.

If, subconsciously, you think you won't see someone again, your brain might not bother holding onto their name.

Good news, there are simple tricks to help.

Repeat the name as soon as you hear it and use it in conversation.

Ask how it's spelled so you can picture it.

How does Fridgescaping work?

Now you can adorn your fridge with beautiful vases, garlands and even photos.

Initially, fridgescaping enthusiasts focused on arranging fruits and vegetables in aesthetically pleasing jars or organising them by colour.

But as with many TikTok trends, it quickly evolved.

Now you can find themed fridges inspired by shows like Bridgerton, complete with flowers, candles and vintage vases.

Even themes from The Hobbit and Westerns have made their way into fridges.

Proponents argue that a decorated fridge makes its contents more appetising and can even inspire more cooking, potentially reducing food waste.

However, critics highlight the risk of overconsumption and the environmental impact of replacing one type of packaging with another, often a more wasteful option.

TikToker Linz Living raves about the benefits, noting that the dopamine hit from opening a beautifully arranged fridge is just the beginning.

She mentions that seeing all her products clearly has led her to try new foods and cook more often with her husband.

Is it hygienic?
