Defog Your Car’s Windows and Windshield In 4 Easy Steps

Fogging is one of the most common issues in cars during winter. Before we move on to the defogging procedure, it is important to know why exactly does this happen.

Fogging is a result of condensation that happens when the cold air comes in contact with the heated windows and windshield leading to reduced visibility. If not dealt with properly on time, it can lead to severe consequences.

Here is what you can do to get rid of fog when you are travelling:

Increase the inside temperature of your car. When you turn on the heater, it will absorb all extra moisture.
Now turn on the AC to absorb more moisture. Trust us this works!
It is time to turn off recirculation of air
Open your windows. The more you turn them down the faster your windows and windshield will defrost because of the dry air coming in from the outside while replacing the moist air.

When you are done with all these steps, you will notice that all the fog is gone and now you can drive in peace with better visibility.

Time to Say Good Bye to Winter Blues with These Activities

Short days and long winter nights feel so draining. All you want is to stay in your cosy bed and binge watch your favourite shows. However, this is not possible in reality. You have to get up and participate in the real life.

Here are some easy activities that can make your life better and you can patiently wait for spring without feeling gloomy. Always remember: a drop in temperature should not affect your mood or routine

Go for a Sunny Vacation

Take out some time and head for a vacation to any area where exposure of the sun is more. This can be a weekend getaway or a long vacation until the weather changes. Doing so will definitely lift up your mood and you will feel much better.

Make Complex Carbohydrates Part of Your Diet

Carbohydrates in refined form can be a quick fix to feel better. However, in the long run, they make you feel sluggish, and guilty too. A good idea is to consume complex carbohydrates like spinach, lentil and broccoli. They are filling, take time to digest and do not increase your glycaemic index immediately.

Limit Sugar Intake

Though sugar intake can make you happy for a while, it will end up making you feel worse than you were in the first place. Even bad is the fact that too much of it can directly affect the functionality of your brain.

Exercise

When it comes to fighting blues and changing moods, nothing is better than exercise. Even if you can go for a 15-minute walk, that will do the job and you will return feeling better and full of energy.

Use Music as a Therapy

Listening to music that is cheerful and has upbeat tunes can be a game changer when you are going through depression. Just listen to something good and you will notice a positive change in your mood.

Enjoy every season, do not let it stop you from doing anything. Happy winters!

5 Winter Colours You Will See Everywhere This Season

We are in the middle of a pandemic. The lockdowns are there and so are SOPs that must be followed. However, there is one thing that no one of us can miss out on and that is fashion, specifically colours. They have an impact on our personality and can affect our moods, too.

Here is a roundup of 5 colours that will make you look relatable this winter.

Shimmery Silver

Silver has always been a style statement. To make it look classy and sophisticated, use a shimmery shade with muted tones.

All Shades of Red

Red is undoubtedly one of the most favourite colours for winters because of its warmth. Burgundy, Cherry Red, Wine and Blood Red are some of the shades that look divine however you carry them.

Fresh Celery

Add a touch of freshness to your winter wardrobe with this green-yellowish shade. Wear it with a dress, denim or skirt, it will not disappoint you

Classic Black

Good news for those who love this colour, BLACK is not going anywhere this season, either. Try it out in different shaddes, cuts and designs to look stylish effortlessly.

Holographic Shades

Holographic shades were the highlights of most runways for Autumn/Winter 2020. They were paired with greys, whites and even pastels to give a more of a clean look. Nothing busy or overworked. Create your own style statement by experimenting with these shades.

Winter wardrobes are fun because of the layers you get to wear, unlike summer where you barely want to dress up. Make the most of this season and include some, few or all of these colours in your collection and you will feel like a fashionista every day!

Which is that one colour you feel like your winter wardrobe is incomplete without?
