]]>Walking can often feel like a way to get from one destination to another, but the physical process of walking is an incredible thing to take part in.

Consider altering between different formats, including physical copies, digital, and audiobooks to make reading multiple books at once more manageable.
If you’re reading a real page-turner that you can’t put down, don’t force yourself to stop so you can go back to another book on your list. Feel free to take breaks when a captivating new story catches your attention because that’s the real magic of reading multiple books at once.

]]>The post Does Oil Pulling Really Help Your Teeth? appeared first on Beautiful Trends Today.
]]>The principle behind oil pulling is relatively straightforward. Supporters argue that the oil acts as a magnet for bacteria, fungi, and other debris in the mouth. The idea is that these microorganisms are encapsulated by the oil, which is then expelled when you spit, leaving your mouth cleaner and your teeth brighter and healthier.
There is a limited, but growing amount of research on oil pulling. Early research shows promise for oil pulling’s impact on oral health, including reducing harmful bacteria and improving gum health. However, stronger evidence is needed, especially regarding claims of teeth whitening.
There still needs to be more research into the topic, but it certainly won’t hurt your teeth or gums to try this ancient method. So if you have 15 minutes to spare and a bit of oil, why not give it a shot?

]]>The post Are Silk Pillowcases Worth the Investment? appeared first on Beautiful Trends Today.
]]>Silk’s smooth surface can be gentler on your skin compared to cotton or other materials. It also creates less friction, which means it can help reduce the formation of sleep wrinkles and skin creases.
Another benefit of the reduced friction is that it can prevent your hair from tangling and breaking. This can be especially beneficial if you have curly or easily tangled hair.
One of the primary drawbacks of silk pillowcases is their cost. They are generally more expensive than their cotton or synthetic counterparts. This higher price point can be a significant factor if you are on a budget.
Silk also requires more delicate care than other fabrics. You’ll probably need to hand-wash the pillowcase or clean using a gentle cycle and specific detergents.
If you have some wiggle room in your budget, this can be a fun beauty item to try out. Who knows, the upgraded sleep experience might be just what you need!

]]>If the leaves of the plant are considerably less upright than usual and seem a bit sad and floppy, then this is usually a clear indication that water is needed.
This is the most accurate way to tell whether a plant needs water but is a bit grubby. You’ll need to stick your hand into the soil of the plant to feel its moisture content. If the soil feels damp and is clumping together, then your plant is probably well watered. However, if the soil is dry and crumbly, then this means watering is overdue.
Brown leaves can often mean dehydration, but it’s also a common indicator of too much direct sunlight. If the leaves are browning, then use the above two tips to try to work out if it’s due to water or light conditions.

]]>Before diving into the creation of your vertical garden, find a suitable space within your home. Consider factors such as available light, temperature, and access to water. South-facing windows or well-lit areas with natural sunlight are ideal.
When choosing your plants, opt for ones that are well-suited for vertical growth, such as ferns, succulents, trailing vines, and air plants. Herbs and small vegetables like cherry tomatoes or lettuce can also work well.
There are great pre-made vertical planters you can purchase or you can set up a DIY structure using recycled materials like pallets or hanging pockets. Either way, make sure the structure is sturdy enough to support the weight of the plants and has adequate drainage to prevent water accumulation.
Start by placing larger plants or those with trailing growth habits at the top to allow for cascading effects. Water them regularly and enjoy your new garden!
