Life Hacks

Here are some Life Hacks that help me and hopefully will help you!

Braid your hair before you go to bed of a night. I do this most of the time now (unless I have straightened my hair) because it keeps your hair all in one place and not spread out, makes some nice gentle waves for the morning and when you wake up there will be less knots!

Set soft music for a alarm. I do this because when I wake up in the morning I like to be woken up softly, not having something like the Harlem Shake or something really upbeat and fast come on all of a sudden! I usually just set one of the Alarm sounds you can choose from on your phone as my sound rather than a song because when I wake up early (I don't like waking up early) whatever song or sound I wake up to I usually associate with waking up early and not having a sleep in. So if I have it set as one of my favorite songs, soon enough I will begin to hate the song because I associate it with waking up early! Though once I am up I do start playing more upbeat music to get me fully awake!

Place fruit in your water. I have tried this before and it actually gives your water more flavor! I personally like having a slice or two of lemon in my water bottle just to give it that tang of flavor more than just plain water! You can also try it with berries and other fruits.

Put spare bobby pins in a empty tic tac container. I find this an easy way too keep track of all my bobby pins because I lose mine left, right and center! So grab a empty Tic Tac container and put all your bobby pins in there - you could also paint the outside of the container if you want too! Then I stuff the container in my bag ready for when I need to fix up my hair!

Use a round container/cup/bowl as a instant speaker! I use this hack a lot especially if I am walking round the house and can't carry my phone. I put the phone in the cup in the middle of the house, or in the space I am most walking through, and make sure the phone speakers are pointing towards the bottom of the round shaped item (not up in the air) and it makes a instant loudspeaker! I found a storage jar a few weeks ago from Myer and that is what I have been using lately and it works really well!

Use clear mascara as a brow gel. I actually haven't tried this hack yet but am dying to try it. So next time I am at the shops, clear mascara is on my shopping list! The hack is easy. Use a clear mascara and just brush it through your brows and it will hold them in shape for the rest of the day. You can also use clear mascara to brush down all your baby hairs. You simply wipe off most of the blob of clear mascara on the wand and just brush the wand through the tips of your hair at your part and it keeps them down instead of letting them fly astray!

Rub a icecube over your face. This helps too reduce any swelling in your face and make you feel rejuvinated and fresh! Try doing it either when you wake up of a morning or just before you go to bed of a night!

Hope you enjoyed reading!
