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.

Source: magazine.northeast.aaa.com

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

  1. Increase the inside temperature of your car. When you turn on the heater, it will absorb all extra moisture.
  2. Now turn on the AC to absorb more moisture. Trust us this works!
  3. It is time to turn off recirculation of air
  4. 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.

What is the use of that charming personality when you are not smelling nice? You may be showering your favourite perfume again and again, but sadly, it is just a short fix. A better solution is to use the right amount of perfume with tricks that will make it last longer.

Moisturize Skin Before Applying Perfume

You can never go wrong with a little moisturizer as it helps locking in the perfume better. Use an unscented moisturizer to avoid mixing up two fragrances.

Use Perfume After Shower

Hygiene is important but it is even more important when you are about to apply a perfume. A clean and dry body ensures that you smell nice throughout the day, without any body or sweat smell.

Keep Perfumes Away from Heat

Perfumes that are kept in dry and cool places tend to last longer because their quality and molecular structure remain intact. The same perfume will lose its fragrance when placed under the sunlight or at a damped shelf.

Use Hairbrush to Scent Your Hair

Who does not like good smelling hair? The best way to do so is by spraying a little amount of your favourite perfume on your hairbrush and then combing the hair with it. Your hair will smell good the whole day without any damage because you are using a brush to scent your hair.

Do Not Rub

Rubbing perfume can break down its chemical composition, causing the fragrance to go away fast. Instead of rubbing, try dabbing gently and experience the difference yourself.

When you apply perfume the right way, you end up smelling good all the time. Above all, you do not have to apply it again and again.

Winter brings with it dull and dry skin as it takes away all the moisture. Thanks to some easy winter care tips that are guaranteed to make your skin look healthy and glowing despite the harsh weather.

Stay Hydrated

Water intake is considerably less in winter due to the cold outside. However, one must remember that our body is still losing water in different ways and we must rehydrate for it to function properly. Low humidity is one of the biggest reasons for dull skin. Try sipping water throughout the day to retain that moisture. You can also use hot beverages and seasonal fruits like berries and cherries to compensate for your water intake.

Quick Showers

Hot showers seem like a blessing in winters but they are extremely damaging for your skin. Not only do they dehydrate the skin, they also deprive it of the natural oils. The best solution is to use lukewarm water and keeping your showers short.

Use Moisturizer

As soon as you wash your face, hands or even take a shower, use an oil-based moisturizer to keep your skin healthy and glowing all day long.

Use Sunscreens

Sunscreens are not for summer only; they are equally important in winter too. When gathering your gears to go out, like cloves, cap and sunglasses, do not, in any case, forget your sunscreen because UV rays are still there

Night Time Routine

When you are about to give your body a good rest for 7-8 hours, remember your skin too. A good moisturizer and essential oils can do wonders. Just do not do it occasionally, make it a habit and you will wake up with soft and supple skin each day.

Your feet and hands, too are part of your body. Please do take care of them and moisturize them along with your face.

What are your favourite skin care tips that you live by?

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?

More tsunamis, Cure for cancer and end of the world – Predicts Baba Vanga who also predicted 9/11 Attacks

Source: Twitter

Baba Vanga was a Bulgarian mystic who was gifted with the ability to see future. Although she died more than 20 years ago, the things she predicted before her death are still coming true. So far, her prophecies about ISIS, 9/11, Chernobyl accident, Diana’s death and dissolution of Soviet Union have turned out to be true. Baba Vanga, who was known for foreseeing future and contacting the dead, was born in 1911 and died in 1996.

More Tsunamis and Natural Cataclysms

Baba Vanga was the first one to mention about the catastrophic 2004 tsunami that killed nearly 220,000 people in Asia. She also said that this will not stop here and many more tsunamis, earthquakes and meteorite strikes will follow. In 2021, her predictions indicate towards more devastating tsunamis.

Will 2021 be End of the World?

Vanga said that the world will witness “Three Giants” uniting along with a Dragon. She alarmed us of devastating events that will change our fate and destiny.

And no, her followers believe that the world is not going to end before 5079, so we can relax for a while now.

Cure for Cance

“The day will come when cancer will be tied with iron chains”. Baba Vanga did not specifically state when the cure for cancer would be found. However, she predicted that the humanity will get rid of this deadly disease in the beginning of the 21st century. Could 2021 be that year?

Was Baba Vanga Really Right About Her Predictions?

Well, most of the time she was. However, there were times when her prophecies did not make any sense and did not come true either. To be honest, no one exactly knows what the future holds, it is just that some people foresee somethings on the basis of their knowledge – sometimes it is a hit and sometimes it is a miss!

Let us see how Baba Vanga’s predictions unfold in 2021.
