Clean the nails

Always clean the nails with a good nail polish remover even though it was not painted with nail polish. This helps remove the natural oils that prevent the polish from sticking to your nail surface.

Use a base coat

The polish sticks better when it is prepped with a base coat. Opt for a natural base coat.

Thinner coats

When the coats are thin, they are unlikely to smudge. It also reduces the drying time and a chance of bubbles gathering on the nail.

Polish the nail tips

Don’t forget to polish the nail tip because this reduces the risk of chipping.

Consider shimmery colors

The tiny sparkles help bind the polish to your nails. If you want to try out something new, go for a shimmery finish.

Top it up with clear coat

Topping the polish with a clear coat extends its life greatly. Apply polish on the top coat as well as the nail edges to seal against chipping.

Let it dry

Nails dry in 45 minutes and should be submerged in water after this period to seal it in. You need to apply lotion as well so the slippery surface can dry.

Baking soda works as a neutralizer for odors in the mouth. It has an alkaline pH and this balances against the acids the mouth bacteria produce. Coffee and sodas also produce acids in the mouth.

Baking Soda Mouthwash Recipe

In a glass of warm water, add ½ teaspoon of baking soda and gargle for fresh breath. You can opt to prepare the solution each time, or mix enough for up to four days. You can only keep it for four days because the sodium carbonate becomes degraded in time, so the result may not be as effective as it should be.

Salt and Baking Soda Recipe

The ingredients are a ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, a glass of warm water as well as 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Mix in the glass and swish tiny sips in your mouth. Use plain water to rinse your mouth.

Be careful

Chlorine bleach is quite potent and has toxic fumes. It can stain carpets, and wood floors so use it outdoors. If you must stay indoors, use a well-ventilated spot. Wear an apron and rubber gloves to prevent skin contact.

Start with dying

Before starting, experiment with some bleach. Pour one part of bleach into 5 parts of water. This is necessary because bleach can irritate your skin, damage your clothing, and ruin subsequent clothes in the washer.

Let the clothing item remain submerged in the solution for 5 minutes and often check to see the progress.

Try bleaching with a spray

If you want to remove smaller stains or colors, you can opt for a spray. For denim, you can create a spattered look with a spray bottle and bleach, and it won’t damage the material.

Neutralize after dying

After dying, you should stop the chlorine’s chemical process. Start by rinsing the fabric with water. Professional grade bleach stoppers can come in handy, but may not be readily available. The best option is hydrogen peroxide. Place the clothing in 2 parts hydrogen peroxide and ten parts water for only ten minutes.

Moisturize your skin

Lotions are totally different from creams. Lotions are lighter and better for people with oily skin. During colder months, every type of skin requires heavier creams. Opt for humectants that seal in moisture to soothe and soften. This hack works for both the face and body.

Hydrate your skin

Apart from oil, the skin needs water. Remain hydrated by drinking lots of water and taking Omega 3 fatty acids. You can also opt for a hydrating mask thrice a week.

Humidify your skin

When you use thermostats indoors, you can increase your risk of skin irritation. A humidifier is a better option for your bedroom. This helps to moisten your skin.

Use a lip balm

Lip balm helps to protect and replenish. Pick one that has cocoa seed butter and shea butter in its ingredient list. Don’t use a lip balm with petrolatum; it causes more harm. Use a toothbrush to remove the dead skin if your lips are already cracking.

Use lukewarm water

Hot water strips your skin of moisture during extreme temperatures. It is better to use lukewarm water.

Match shirts and ties

You can use a solid colored shirt with diagonal stripes, plaids, polka dots or subtle patterns. However, your tie should complement your shirt, sweater, or suit. You can also knot the tie in different ways.

Trousers with pleats make you look bulky. Flat-front is better even if pleats seem more comfortable. If you want to get comfortable flat fronts, opt for one size bigger than your usual and adjust the waist to fit yours. You can get a tailor to do this.

Socks color

Socks should match your pants with a different shade. You can use patterned socks with so many colors. You should not wear white socks in any attire; they should be worn only to the gym.
