True life hacks : 5 ways you can use wet wipes!!

Wet wipes, as everybody knows, is thicker than a tissue paper and thinner than a cloth. Mainly it is treated paper which holds one or more liquids for a long time without getting fungal or bacterial attacks. They come in different fragrances. It is famous for its use as baby wipes to soften the skin against diaper rashes. But they can be used in multiple ways for daily life hacks. Lets take a peek into 5 ways in which I use wet wipes :-

1. Prevent dryness - You can apply body lotion and skin creams before you step outside but what if you need it throughout the day? I am not used to carrying creams and lotions with me and I am too lazy to apply them every now and then. That's when I started using wet wipes. It is easy to carry and you can use it anywhere. It helps to get rid off sweat and odor and give you a fresh feel. Use them to wipe the face, neck and hands. The fragrance will act as a perfume if you choose the best one. One more thing to add, when you are not feeling well and cannot afford to take a bath, wet wipes can freshen you up.

2. Prevent feet odor - In some weather, your feet can becomes sweaty even if your sandals or shoes allow aeration. If you are wearing shoes, choosing a good socks material and putting talcum inside can help you. But it may not be sufficient always. For one thing, avoid closed shoes, if you can, in hard climate. But if you can't then wet wipes is your temporary rescue. When the feet odor starts bothering you, take a break and wipe your feet and sandals with wet wipes. Your feet will smell good and you can be confident again.  

3. Cleaning the tables - If you watch closely, your working table, dining table, laptop and small things lying on them gets accumulated with minute dust. Some of you may be even allergic to such dust. Also, you may not notice but an odor fills the air which only others will recognize. Once in a while, cleaning your work space and dining space with wet wipes can give a new shine and a refreshing smell.

4. Removing leftover makeup - Makeup removal is a regime in itself. After you wipe, then you scrub and wash and cleanse and it goes on. For heavy makeup it might be good to follow the protocol but for light makeup the most easy method is a 2 step process :- 

1. Wash thoroughly with a scrubbing face wash 

2. Wipe every part of your face with a wet wipes, especially your eyes and lips 

The eye liner and mascara is what makes us go crazy. It is very important that you take every last bit of it off the eyes.

5. Oily skin cleansing - Those who are troubled with oily skin, wet wipes can help you to some extent.  Some of you may be trying hard to prevent breakouts. The ideal case would be washing your face multiple times in a day with a good face wash. But we all know it is impossible. One easy way is to use wet wipes to wipe your face clean 3-4 times during the day. Once all dirt and oil is removed, use a dry tissue or clean soft cloth to dry. Also, keep your makeup to the eyes and lips alone.

True life hacks : How to protect your mattress!

              How to protect mattress with less effort!!

I am a big fan of sleeping. What is that something without which we cannot sleep?..... It's the mattress!! :P

Mattress can be of cotton, foam, coir etc etc . Whichever one you own, after using it for sometime you may see that it becomes hard to clean them if they are ruined by dust or stains or liquids. Traditional way of cleaning is exhausting - drag your mattress to the terrace or an open area outside the house and beat it till its death to remove dust, wash here & there and wait till its dry to remove stains, because if you wash the entire mattress, it means you have nothing better to do with your time.

So if there is an easy way you can protect it from dust, stains, water or liquids that would be great!!
The solution is Mattress Protecting Cover.

Mattresses do not come with a protecting cover most of the time. And even if they do, it may not be easy to handle. So the best way is get a mattress protector cover. The features of the cover you must be looking for are :

1) elastic, so you just need to slip it in at all four sides, no need to lift and flip the whole mattress.

2) dustproof & waterproof - so nothing reaches the mattress.

3) lightweight - so if you want to remove it for washing and drying, it is easy to handle.

4) washable 

5) soft but not slippery - so that bedsheet stays well; also you can use it directly to sleep in.

6) size - so that if the mattress is king or queen, you get the proper one. 

I have one personal favorite which is also my mom's favorite, which I thought is worth sharing, the link to which is given below (choose the right size when you are buying) :

Enjoy sleeping everyone!! :D
