On the Internet, there are a great many ways to become even more beautiful and make your daily work of turning into a princess easier. However, not all of them work.

We are in website surprised by some strange beauty life hacks, but we admit: they can really be useful.

Beer for hair health

  • To do this, dilute the drink with water in a 1: 1 ratio and rinse your hair with the resulting composition after washing. By the way, blondes are better off choosing light beer to avoid discoloration.
  • Also on the basis of beer can be prepared hair masks.

Baby powder for false eyelash effect

  • Paint over the lashes with mascara in one layer.
  • Arm yourself with a cotton swab and apply baby powder to your lashes.
  • Then re-cover your lashes with mascara. Voila! A simple and inexpensive option to achieve a false eyelash effect.

Concealer for a new lip contour

It doesn't matter if you naturally got a fuzzy lip contour or you think your lips are too tight for dark lipsticks... Here concealer will help out.

  • Outline the lip contour with concealer, as if "erasing" the natural line, and blend the product.
  • When it is dry, use a bright pencil to draw a new outline, slightly going beyond the natural. Try not to overdo it.

Activated carbon for whitening teeth

  • Put an activated charcoal tablet in a glass, add 5 drops of water. Knead so that there are no lumps left.
  • Apply the mixture to your toothbrush and brush your teeth with it to whiten them.
  • This procedure should be carried out no more than 2 times a month: frequent brushing can increase the sensitivity of the teeth!

Red lipstick to urgently hide under eye circles

To quickly hide very dark circles under the eyes, when one concealer fails, beauty bloggers advise this technique:

  • Careful not to injure delicate skin, apply red lipstick to the “arches” under the eyes. Shadingwithout bringing to eyelashes.
  • We apply concealer in two layers, each of which we shade, and let the product dry. Powder.

Thread for perfect shooters

Nose contour fork

To visually change the shape of the nose and make it more sophisticated, modern girls use contouring, highlighting the bridge of the nose along its entire length with a light shade, and the wings with a dark one.

  • Use a fork to keep the lines straight and symmetrical.

Regular pencils as eyeliner

If you really want bright summer arrows, but you don't have a cosmetic pencil at hand, you can use a clerical pencil.

  • Place pencils for drawing in a glass of hot water for a while.
  • Then take out and bring them eyes.

Lip balm instead of highlighter

Often girls are in no hurry to buy a highlighter, but use other cosmetics instead. Quite justified: for example, shimmery shadows easily cope with this task. Another "inhabitant" of the cosmetic bag - lip balm - also proved to be suitable for this. The only negative is its stickiness.

Why Does Hair Curl With Humidity?



Typically, a foam sponge is used in the kitchen for washing dishes. However, you can find many other uses for it in everyday life. The sponge will help both during the move and during repairs. The main thing is to know how to use it optimally.

1. Transportation of fragile items



To prevent fragile items made of glass, crystal and ceramics from breaking during transportation, put a few foam sponges between them.

2. Flower care



Place a foam sponge on the bottom of the flower pot and cover with earth. This trick will create optimal conditions for growing plants. If you overdo it with watering, the sponge will absorb excess moisture and retain it until the ground dries up.

3. Removing varnish



Use an empty pill bottle and chunks of foam sponge to create a unique nail polish remover. Pieces of sponge should be tightly packed in a bottle along the walls, pour some acetone and lower your finger for a couple of minutes.

4. Toy furniture



Toy furniture, which is easy to make from pieces of foam sponges, is a great idea for joint creativity of parents and children.

5. Fragrant secret



Apply your favorite perfume or a couple of drops of essential oil to a piece of sponge and place it in the corner of your closet or dresser. Things will quickly become saturated with aroma and you will always be fragrant.

6. Knee pads



With the help of an elastic band and two sponges, you can build simple knee pads that will come in handy when cleaning the house or garden.

7. Comfortable handle



Wrap the handle of a broom, mop or shovel with a sponge so that no blisters form on your hands after prolonged use of the tool.

8. Slots



Autumn is the time when you need to take care of the warmth of your home. Dishwashing sponges will help to get rid of drafts, with which you can plug the cracks in the frames of wooden windows.

9. Cleaning dishes with a narrow neck



Wrap the bamboo stick with a foam sponge, secure with a rubber band and use the resulting tool to clean narrow-necked bottles and cans.

10. Curlers



In fact, kitchen sponges are the same curlers, only of a different shape. Therefore, if you want to curl your hair, and there is nothing suitable at hand, use it.

11. Germination of seeds



Dishwashing sponges are excellent at retaining heat and moisture, making them a great place for seeds to germinate.

12. Furniture protection

Even something as simple as a sponge has good potential. The versatility of its use is really surprising, so I propose to study the most useful life hacks!

Always ready!

Cut out a groove for soap on top in the soft part, then it will always remain dry, without liming at the edge of the sink. Or we make an incision on the side and put a piece of soap inside, so you can take a sponge and immediately start washing the dishes or the sink.

We keep in the freezer

They wet the sponge, put it in a bag and put it in the freezer for about a couple of hours (or overnight). After freezing, we will have the perfect compress to eliminate bruises and swelling after bruises.

And in this way we will also obtain a refrigerant that will save products during long-term transportation! It is very convenient to take on picnics and trips to the country.

We remove varnish quickly and easily

We take an unnecessary jar with a tightly screwed lid. We put dishwashing sponges there so that they lie tightly. Fill the top with nail polish remover. Now it is enough to lower your finger and rub your fingernail on the foam rubber!

Periodically, of course, you need to change the sponges, but it is much more convenient than fiddling with cotton pads, especially when it comes to varnish with glitter.

We wash the microwave

The microwave oven is used every day, slowly but surely becoming covered with grease, persistent stains, and getting an unpleasant odor. A very easy method based on the bath principle will help to get rid of this.

  1. We moisten the kitchen sponge well with water.
  2. We squeeze the dishwashing detergent onto it. We are not sorry! We need a lot of foam.
  3. We put it in the microwave.
  4. We turn on the minimum mode, make sure that the foam rubber does not melt! As a rule, cleaning takes about 30 seconds.
  5. Open the door, take the same sponge and wash the oven walls.

The steam softens stains and helps clean quickly.

We clean blinds, batteries and fans

How many nerves were spent flushing each plate! Now I am sharing the idea, in my opinion - it's brilliant!

We take ordinary kitchen tongs, make a small incision in the sponge. We get an excellent device for cleaning hard-to-reach places from two sides at once!

What to do with a narrow jar?

To wash a narrow-necked jar, cut the sponge in half. We cut each part from the end and insert a magnet there. Apply dishwashing detergent to one half, lather and place in a jar. We drive the other half along the outside of the can. The magnets will attract, and we can quickly and easily wash away all the dirt!

It is best to use cellulose sponges. According to experts, they are more hygienic.

Erase

The stores sell expensive cloths for washing, but you don't have to spend money, it's better to do this:

  1. We take a bucket with a lid or container, a pack of sponges.
  2. Pour water into a container, add your favorite fabric softener.
  3. Put the sponges, close the lid and leave in the bathroom on the shelf.
  4. During washing, we take out one thing, wring it out and put it in the drum of the washing machine.
  5. After the end of the cycle, we return our "worker" back.

The method removes static electricity, lint and plaque, prevents shedding and saves the family budget!

We wind the hair

The famous blogger Charmi Jane wrapped her hair on her lips, securing it with elastic bands, and got luxurious curls in the morning. I can assume that in ordinary life this can be useful only if curlers or a curling iron suddenly disappeared from the house.

Essential oils

We all know that the foam surface, water and food debris are great colonies for many disease-causing bacteria. It is recommended to change the sponges every week, but during use it is necessary to properly care for them. There are many ways, but my favorite is using essential oils. Someone drips to the surface, someone prefers to make a solution of vinegar with oil, leaving a sponge in it overnight. I think the second way is safer! Vinegar is excellent for disinfecting, and oil kills germs and gives a pleasant aroma.

It turned out the TOP of 9 coolest tricks that will be useful to every housewife! Of course, I won't say for sure about curlers, but all the other life hacks have been tested on personal experience - I recommend!

Sponge for washing dishes- a useful thing in the household.

Sponges are in the arsenal of every housewife, but not everyone knows how to use them with maximum benefit.

They will come in handy for different occasions: to clean up, to restore beauty and even to arrange watering of flowers while the owners of the house are away.

1. For cleaning the microwave oven

A sponge in the kitchen is a real salvation. In order not to wipe off greasy stains from the walls of the microwave oven for a painfully long time, put a damp sponge inside and turn on the normal mode for 2-3 minutes. During this time, the steam from the sponge will soften the grease, and you can easily remove it.

2. For cleaning blinds and plastic windows

What can be more tiring than washing blinds or other hard-to-reach places? For spring cleaning, grab a pair of tongs and use rubber bands to tie a sponge to them. Alternatively, cut a small piece of foam and attach it to a kitchen brush. Such devices will help you easily clean blinds, radiators, plastic window frames, fan blades.

3. Sponge instead of special washing napkins

If you do not have a special washcloth on hand that acts as an antistatic agent, collects animal hair or prevents shedding of the laundry, use a regular sponge instead.

Pre-soak the sponge in a container of water and fabric softener. Before washing, remove the sponge, wring it out and put it in the drum. You will see that all the dirt will collect on the sponge.

4. Sponge for children's crafts

If you are annoyed by drops of glue on the floor and table after children's crafts, this is not a reason to deprive your child of creativity. Remember how stamps are glued to envelopes by mail? Apply the stamp to the sponge soaked in glue. Try to do the same at home: fill the sponge with glue, leave it for a while so that the glue is absorbed, and then just moisten it with a little water. Cleanliness guaranteed!

5. Sponge for cleaning suede products

You should not purchase expensive sponges specifically for suede products, just use a kitchen sponge. Bags, shoes and jackets can be easily cleaned by first brushing off the dirt with the hard side of the sponge and lightly brushing it off. And then - walk over the product with the soft side with a ball of foam for cleaning suede.

6. Sponges for the care of indoor plants

Kitchen sponges will be useful if you need to leave for a day or two on a business trip, and there is no one to water the flowers. In this case, you can moisten the sponges with plenty of water and put them on top of the ground in a pot.

If the pot is small, then it can even be placed on top of the sponge. In this case, water is poured into the pan, the sponge gradually absorbs it, thereby moisturizing the flower.

There is another way for gardeners to use sponges: a sponge can be an excellent drainage: just lay it on the bottom of the pot, and lay a layer of earth on top and plant a plant.

7. Kitchen sponges instead of curlers

Making luxurious curls using foam sponges is as easy as shelling pears. You need to place the sponge horizontally, wind a strand of hair on it, then fold it in half and tie it with an elastic band. Sleeping with such soft curlers is comfortable, and in the morning you will have a wonderful hairstyle!

8. How to care for a sponge

The kitchen sponge is known to be a breeding ground for dirt. To disinfect it and remove an unpleasant odor, use essential oils of eucalyptus, mint, lemon. Apply a couple of drops to a sponge and you will immediately feel the difference when using it!
