Tips to get perfect eyebrows | Reviews

8th October 2020
"All you need is love and good eyebrows!"

Believe it or not, gorgeous brows aren't only a result of hitting the genetic lottery. From the best techniques and weird remedies to life-saving tools, there are a lot of ways to get perfect eyebrows. We have compiled a list of 5 tips to keep your eyebrows perfect!

Brow Brush

Brushes are used to mix makeup and keep hair in place for the eyebrows. You need them to build the precise brow look you like. A brow brush allows the product to be blended uniformly and the eyebrows to appear more natural. However, not all brushes are created equal, and which one you choose depends largely on the object you combine with it, and also personal taste, clearly.

 

Threading

A popular alternative to waxing or plucking is eyebrow threading. It is used to remove stray hair and give form to your eyebrows. Originating in the Middle East, it has recently become the most common hair removal procedure in the whole world.

Using two entwined pieces of cotton thread is part of the threading technique. They are wrapped in a quick and clean motion around the unwanted hairs, extracting them. It's a fluid motion that extracts hair from the root of the hair follicle expertly.


 

Eyebrow pencil

Eyebrow pencils are a favorite part of the makeup of every woman. A good forehead pencil will turn poor, scattered brows into complete, dense, and perfectly shaped arches with just a few flicks of a wrist. For someone who looks to revive their brow game, brow pencils are more natural than a gel and easier to use.


 

Castor Oil 

As a hair growth product, Castor oil makes an exceptionally compelling argument for itself. It is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E that are believed to stimulate hair growth and, respectively, restore damaged hair follicles. It also contains a variety of other hair and skin-beneficial vitamins and minerals. Ricinoleic acid, an element which has been said to boost blood supply, is another one of the star elements. It is certainly good for growth.

 

Tweezing

Although it takes more time to use tweezers than, say, waxing, you have more power over the hair you take and carry, which provides a very detailed look. It's also a very cheap choice for doing-it-yourself that can last for weeks at a time.

Tips for Keeping Your Smartphone Clean

11th May 2020
"Just as thorough hand washing and other hygienic practices have become key aspects of our daily lives, keeping our smartphones clean should also form a key part of our self-sanitation routines given just how much we interact with our mobile devices."

Just as thorough hand washing and other hygienic practices have become key aspects of our daily lives, keeping our smartphones clean should also form a key part of our self-sanitation routines given just how much we interact with our mobile devices. So, how exactly can you continue to use your smartphone and stay hygienic? Read on for some suggestions as to how you can effectively and safely clean your smartphone.

Why Do You Need to Clean Your Smartphone?

According to a study by global consultancy firm Deloitte, American users view their smartphones around 14 billion times a day, with each individual user picking up their phone 52 times a day on average. As we enter a phase of telecommuting and remote communication, these numbers are only set to increase.

As per studies show us that viruses can survive on plastic or metal surfaces for up to 2 or 3 days, in order to use your smartphone safely, it is imperative that you keep your device clean.

Best Practice Smartphone Hygiene

The first thing to remember when looking to keep your Smartphone clean is not to use general cleaners, compressed air sprays or disinfectant and bleach-based products. While these might be useful in keeping communal spaces around the home hygienic, these solutions can peel off or damage the oleophobic coating layer over your smartphone’s display that shields the screen from fingerprint smudging.

In order to keep enjoying the best experience with your smartphone after cleaning, be sure to fully power down your device and remove its case, cables and other accessories. Once you have done this, use a lint-free microfiber cloth to wipe down the exterior of the device.

If needed, you can use a small amount of distilled water or disinfectant, such as a hypochlorous acid-based (50-80ppm) or alcohol-based (over 70% ethanol or isopropyl alcohol) product – but always apply these to your microfiber cloth, not directly to your phone, and be sure to avoid getting any liquid in your phone’s openings. Dampen your cloth with disinfectant and gently wipe the front and back of your device to cleanse it.

cleaning smartwatch

You can use the same methods as above for cleaning the smartwatch face of your Watch once you have removed its straps. While such disinfection methods should be avoided for leather or rubber surfaces, they are suitable for glass, ceramic and metal surfaces, such as the display of your smartphone and the smartwatch.

Tips to keep the exterior of your car new and shiny.

12th September 2020
"Exterior car care should become a regular part of your car care routine."

Your car is probably your most important investment. It takes a year-round beating from general wear and the elements. This wear and tear will show if you don’t regularly care for and maintain it. Whether it’s cleaning, waxing or making repairs and maintenance, exterior car care should become a regular part of your car care routine. Take some time to review the following car care tips to keep your vehicle running at its optimum condition.

Step 1: Wash It  

One of the best car care tips you can receive is to keep the exterior of your car clean. Washing your car often can remove harmful debris and reduce the chance of your car rusting. Choose a shady spot in which to work. It’s usually best to wash your car in the morning or evening when the sun isn't as intense, but if you have a spot in the shade to do the job, it doesn’t matter what time of day you start. Let the car exterior cool down if it has been in the sun for an extended period of time.

Car-wash-shampoo

Fill a bucket with a couple of capfuls of concentrated car cleaning solution and water (check manufacturer's directions for the exact amount of cleaner to use). Wet down the entire surface of the car using a garden hose with a spray nozzle. Dip a sponge or washing mitt into the bucket and start on the roof of the car.

Using the sponge or washing mitt, wash the roof of the car and clean the windows. Stop there and rinse. You want to wash and rinse the car in sections to avoid the soap's drying on the surface before you spray it off. Choose either the hood or trunk of the car, clean it and rinse it. Continue working by washing either the front or back (depending on where you chose to continue) and then rinsing. Then proceed down one side of the car, one panel at a time, washing and rinsing. Repeat these steps on the opposite side. Don't forget to wash the rearview mirrors.

Car-wash-tire-body

Wheels and tires should be cleaned last. Since they make contact with the road and collect the most oil, dirt and grime, it makes more sense to clean the rest of the car first so you don't transfer dirt from them to the rest of the car. Grit from the tires and lower panels of the car can also stick to your sponge and then scratch your car's paint elsewhere. Wet the wheels with your hose and then spray a wheel and tire cleaner onto them. Let the solution sit for a minute or two and then wash them with the washing mitt and soap. Rinse them off.

Step 2: Dry It  

Dry the car using soft, clean towels that you keep specifically for drying your car, or better yet, use microfiber drying towels or chamois. Chamois, commonly known as shammies are leather cloths, designed to soak up water better than a regular towel and help prevent water spots.

Step 3: Apply Protectants  

After the vehicle has dried, pour (or spray) a dab of vinyl and rubber protectant onto a clean rag and wipe it on all vinyl, plastic, or rubber parts on the vehicle exterior. These will most likely include door and window moldings, trim, rearview mirrors, and tires.

Car-protectant

Wipe with a circular motion for complete and even coverage. Wait for the protectant to be absorbed. Once it is absorbed, the surface will look and feel dry. Then with a new, clean rag, wipe down the parts.

Step 4: Wax It  

Waxing your car protects the paint and finish. In essence, it seals the exterior and protects it from the elements, UV rays, salt, splattered insects and bird droppings, while it leaves the car looking shiny and new. Wax usually comes as a paste, liquid or cream. There is endless debate about which brand or type of wax to use, but most car enthusiasts prefer a carnauba-based wax in any form. One application of this wax usually lasts about six to eight weeks.

waxco-wash-wax-car-shampoo

Before applying, either dip an applicator pad into the wax container (for pastes and creams) or pour a small amount onto the pad (liquid). Many waxes are sold with applicator pads, but they can also be purchased separately.

Apply wax to one section or panel of the vehicle at a time. Start by framing the section which is applying the wax along the edges in a straight line. This gives you better control and helps prevent getting wax in and on unwanted areas, like plastic or rubber trim. Then fill in the rest of the area by wiping the wax on in a circular motion. As it dries, the wax will form a haze. This usually just takes a few minutes. Use a clean, soft microfiber cloth to wipe away the haze. Try to use one small section of the cloth when wiping each area, so you still have a clean cloth to wipe the next section. Repeat this process over the entirety of the car's finish.

Tips on Maintaining and taking care of your Air Conditioner unit

6th October 2020
"Make sure to do servicing once a year and clean the unit once or twice a month."

Air Conditioners can be considered as lifesavers if you live in a really hot place be it the Middle East or the Terai of Nepal. To survive in such a hot climate you either need a fan or an AC. AC can be the best choice if you want cool air flowing all over your room kicking off the sweat without having any trouble shifting the fan as you shift. However, your wallet or bank account might have to lose some weight if you choose to go with an AC.

If you don't want to regret pouring your wealth in unsuitable AC, do some research on the things that one must keep in mind before buying an AC. After buying, if you do not clean the AC and its filter, fin, and ducts timely, allergens may settle in the duct and may pollute the air you breathe in. Besides, make sure to do servicing every year and clean the unit once or twice a month. So, proper maintenance of the AC is essential to make it last for a longer period. We present you with some tips on maintaining your Air conditioner.

Clean and replace the filters

The most important part of an AC that requires periodical maintenance is the filters. Cleaning and replacing the filters timely can ensure the increase in the lifespan of your AC as well as its efficient operation. Make sure to clean the filters once or twice a month for excellent efficiency. Dirt and debris may get collected in the filter and which when the air flows passes to the evaporator coil and damages the coil. Besides, the dirt collected in the filter may clog the airflow or may pollute the air you breathe as well. Thereupon, clean and replace the filters timely to avoid any sort of problems.

Clean the coils

No matter how much you take care of the filters, dirt may eventually get collected in the evaporator and condenser coils. The dirt collected in the coils may cover and insulate the coils resulting in the inefficiency of the coils to absorb the heat. So, clean the coils every year to avoid any sort of damage or inefficiency in the AC. Not just the coils of the indoor unit, check the coils of the outdoor units as well. Try to place the units in a place where they can avoid dirt and debris.

Timely cleaning of the indoor and outdoor units

It is essential to clean the entire unit from time-to-time to avoid the collection of dirt and debris in the unit. Also, try to keep the environment around the units clean as well.

Comb the Coil fins

The coil fins on the evaporator and condenser coils are easily bent which may result in blockage of airflow. So, make sure to comb the fins and straighten them gently by using a butter knife or a fin comb that are available in the wholesale markets. Make sure to comb the fins gently as they are pretty sensitive and can break or bend quite easily.

Winter preparation

During the winter, it's best if you either cover the unit or remove and store it in some convenient place so that it won't suffer further from dirt when it's not used. Also, if possible, cover the outdoor unit of the split AC to protect it from the dirt and debris in winters. It's best to cover the units with plywood rather than a tarp.

Hire a professional

In case of any form of serious damage or change in noise, hire the professionals immediately for repair, else your AC may either turn obsolete or may lead to expensive repairs in the future. 

Try to avoid heat inside the house

Close the curtains and windows in order to avoid the heat and warmth inside your house or room. It can help to reduce the heat to some extent.

Know when to buy a new AC

Once your AC reaches to the point where any professional maintenance won't help it, don't push it any further and let it go. As the old AC may not function properly, they lead to several health-related inconveniences. Once you decide on buying a new AC, dispose of the unit properly, rather than just tossing it in the garbage bin.
