Hair Dryer Smells Burnt, Clean It Out Easy. Tips in Action:

Hair Dryer Smells Burnt, Clean It Out Easy.

If the hair dryer is smelling like it’s burning every time you turn it on, it’s time to clean it out. Dust and lint get trapped in the back screen over time. Once that happens, it can clog the hair dryer from working properly. Cleaning it out can prevent the dryer from catching fire or burning out the fan and motor.

Remove the Lint

Trying to pick the link out the back can be tedious and difficult to do with your fingertips. However, it’s easy to remove lint from the back of the dryer with a simple trick, and that simple trick can prevent a major disaster.

The Power of the Cotton Swab

Cotton swabs in the home are usually used to clean out your ears or help with makeup techniques. However, the cotton swap is a magic-like tool when cleaning the hair dryer.

First, remove the back plastic on the hair dryer if it’s removable to expose the screen completely. If it’s not possible to remove the screen cap, it’s okay, you can work around it.

Next, use a clean dry cotton swab around the screen or in between the blades. The dry cotton will sweep up the lint like a professional cleaner.

Then, flip the swab to the clean side, and wipe the area again to remove any excess.

Finally, put the dryer back together and give it a test run. It should run as good as new.

Final Thoughts

Cleaning the screen every month will improve the long-term integrity of the small appliance.

Also, if the dryer still smells like it’s burning or if it is making any strange noises after cleaning, it might have something more going on than a simple lint clog. Unfortunately, that is usually the time to invest in a new hair dryer.

Get in Shape for Halloween

Get in Shape for Halloween

Halloween is the time for dressing up in fun costumes that are relatable or polar opposite of your personality. It’s the time for women to transcend and show off their sexy without judgment or apprehension.

Choose a Costume

When choosing a costume, it can be difficult to come up with something different than those costumes in a bag and figure out which items are included from the photo on the front of the package. Look, there is something rewarding in creating your own costume for the holiday. Putting in creativity to accomplish a stellar look can reap confidence, compliments, and sometimes, prizes. So, why not think outside the bag this Halloween?

Ideas:

  • Come up with a character from one of your favorite shows.  
  • Put a twist on Halloween classics.
  • Be Punny.
  • Go outlandish; make up your own character.

Make Your Own Costume

Making your own costume doesn’t have to be challenging. Remember, Charlie Brown cut holes in a sheet. Having a great base can help you create a magical outfit for the holiday. Personally, I love picking bases that can be universally useful for other days other than just a costume.

Using wholesale shapewear as a base becomes a sexy Halloween garment with a versatile everyday purpose. So, instead of investing in a bagged costume, create your own by only needing to buy a few accessories to complete the concept.

Halloween Costumes Brought to Life

Here are a few simple ideas to stoke your creative flames while using incredible and affordable shapewear.

Transform into Minnie Mouse

Wholesale Full Body Deep V-Neckline Mid-Thigh Tummy Control Bodysuit

Grab yourself a full-body suit where you can add a polka dot skirt, mouse ears, and a string of pearls to be a perfect handmade Minnie. After Halloween, you can pair this tummy-control body suit with a skirt and boots for a night out on the town.

Invest in a Private Investigator Costume

Wholesale Seamless Body Shaper Shapwear V Neckline Open Back Bodysuit

Grab this bodysuit dress to give a fabulous hourglass shape to your body all year round. Using it for a P.I. costume this Halloween can be simple by adding a blazer, hat, and aviators. It’s a simple costume that will be certain to get a lot of attention.

Sexy Scuba Instructor

Wholesale Practical Rose Red Full Body Shaper Short Sleeve Hidden Curves

Scuba would never look so good when you use this incredible shapewear and add some goggles. After Halloween, this full-coverage shapewear will help get you into shape as you use it while working out.

Final Thoughts

Halloween should be a fun outlet for your creativity. Check out WaistDear Halloween sale for base options for Halloween and everyday wear. It’s a great idea to get a base that you can add fabric to or wear solo with accessories. It can be a reasonably priced costume with much better quality compared to what you find in a bagged costume.

How To Fix Slippery Shoes

How To Fix Slippery Shoes

A great pair of shoes can help anyone conquer the world in front of them. However, some fabulous footwear doesn’t fit all the criteria’s needed to make them the perfect pair. Some shoes are too big, too small, pinchy, unsupported, or slippery. Most of these issues can be discovered just by trying them on. Unfortunately, slippery shoes might only be realized after you have them out on the town. So what are some ways how to fix slippery shoes?

Shoe Sole Grips

There are shoe sole grips that can be placed on the bottom of the shoes that feel like a sandpaper sticker. They are easy to apply, just peel and stick. This option lasts for a while depending on how many miles the soles take on.

Duct Tape Fixes Everything

The magic of duct tape can help you fix something that’s broken or remove a wart. In addition, if you are out on the town and slipping all over the place, find yourself some duct tape. Break off about an inch and a half and place on the bottom of each shoe. The duct tape can still have a little slip, but it will gather much more traction than without it.

To make it have more traction, scratch the sole with the duct tape in place against the blacktop or the concrete sidewalk. The scratches in the tape will be like groves that can hug the ground better.

Hairspray for a Temporary Fix

Hairspray isn’t only for keeping your hair in place. Spraying the bottom of your shoes with hairspray will leave a tacky grip that can make it more bearable to walk. It won’t last, but it will work for an evening.

Spray the sole generously. Wait a minute for it to almost dry completely. A little bit of stick will do the trick.

Sandpaper to Scratch the Surface

Using fine-grit sandpaper on the sole of your shoes will allow enough groves to provide more traction. Scratch the surface in a circular motion or in a side-to-side sweep. Do not over-sand the sole. The point is to gain traction, not make the shoes look rustic with sandpaper. By over-sanding, you could make it smooth again or potentially damage the sole.  

Any of these options can help you gain some traction on a night out. The peel and stick option is the most reliable. However, I’ve used the duct tape option on several occasions with great success. Nevertheless, use what you got to stay sturdy on your night out since not all shoes are created equal.

Self Care Tips to Improve Appearance

Self Care Tips to Improve Appearance

Image Credit 

Looking your best helps to improve your quality of life and your relationships; that’s why self-care is so important and shouldn’t be regarded as optional. In this article, we take a look at some of the primary self-care features you need to feel amazing and live your best life. 

Sleep Well 

People who sleep well might not appreciate the importance of sleep, but they only need to talk to those who wake up during the night or too early in the morning. It doesn’t seem as though our bodies do much during sleep, but our brains are very active in processing a lot of information. 

When we don’t sleep well, it affects our brain functioning and our appearance. It also affects our immune system making it easier to catch an illness. If you don’t sleep well in general, try drinking some camomille tea before bed or taking some valerian root to help you to sleep.    

Eat Healthily 

Some people think it’s all about the make-up and the way you dress that makes you look the way you want, but that’s not always the case. Of course, make-up and accessories help, but unless you are healthy on the inside, you won’t achieve the appearance that you are aiming for. 

One of the secrets to a happy and healthy appearance is a suitable exercise routine; the other is a suitable diet. Not only do you have to avoid your cravings for high-sugar, high-fat foods, but you need to couple exercise with a healthy balanced diet with supportive minerals and nutrients.

Health Check-Ups

Again, health needs to be your core concern when you want to improve your appearance and your overall wellbeing. When you don’t live a healthy lifestyle, it shows in the form of poor skin, droopy features, and teeth that appear dull when you smile. Change this with checkups. 

Most dental professionals recommend that you visit the dentist for a checkup every six months. During a checkup, a dentist will perform a scale and polish to remove any plaque to make your teeth shine; they can also advise on lifestyle practices to support your dental health.  

Treatments 

If you want to look your best, you need to look after yourself inside and outside. Looking after your internal health is the most important thing since this is what makes your face shine and gives you the energy you need for living, but treatments are also an excellent way forward. 

Treatments can range from skin care treatments like laser surgery to wellbeing treatments like aromatherapy and acupuncture. Not only will these treatments improve your physical appearance, but they will also improve your mental wellbeing by providing some extra relaxation. 

Exercise 

Although it comes last on the list exercising is probably the fastest and best route to wellbeing. Humans have always been active animals, and our modern sedentary lifestyle is not supporting our wellbeing in the best way. That’s one reason diets such as intermittent fasting are so successful; they align with our ancient past. Integrate exercise into your weekly lifestyle.

How To Cement Better Habits

How To Cement Better Habits

Something that will help all of us to live better lives is the ability to foster and cement good habits on a regular basis, especially when we are replacing bad ones. It might be better to think of them more as useful habits and less useful habits in that regard. If you are wondering how you can effectively cement some better habits into your daily life, then there are many things to consider. Let’s take a look at some ideas of how you might be able to do this more effectively. You’ll find the following is all really useful.

Take Stock

One of the first things you need to do is to take stock of your life as it currently stands, in particular your habits and what they tend to be. It’s hugely important here that you are being as honest with yourself as possible, as otherwise, you are going to struggle to actually make the necessary changes. As part of this, you might find that there are some un-useful habits that you would rather do away with, or you might sense a distinct lack of a particularly useful habit that you think you should develop. You will now need to follow your nose with regard to those.

Identify Some Goals

Next up, you can start to think about some of the things that you would like to be different in your life, so you can start working towards them. In short, you should try to identify some goals so that you can decide on which habits you might want to begin developing and building from. It might be as simple as wanting healthier teeth and gums, or as huge as wanting to lose a lot of weight, or anything in between. Just make sure you are clear on them.

Break New Habits Down Into Components

Once you know what you are aiming for, you can start to think about the habits that these will require – and in order to make that more manageable, you might want to break down those identified habits into smaller components that are easier to put into place. In the case of having healthier teeth, as we mentioned above, that might include: visiting your local dentist, setting an alarm to floss, and so on. This is going to feel much more doable than trying to do big changes all at once.

Get support for the bad habits

Bad habits can form easily and it’s something you want to identify before working on removing them from your life. For example, smoking is for many, a bad habit that has developed over time and often from a young age. That’s why smoking cessation programs are a great way to tackle the bad habit with professional support.

Getting support for bad habits is going to help remove them so that you can make way for better habits instead.

Turn Habits Into Routines

Next up you are going to want to turn those habits into genuinely unbreakable routines. This is when their effectiveness starts to become really clear, and it’s the kind of thing that can really radically transform your life. One way to achieve this is to use a process known as gamification, where you trick the mind into the new habit by treating it as a game. This can be very effective, and it’s something you might want to check out if you are really keen on making big changes in your own daily life and seeing those results very soon.
