Life Hacks for the winter season

The long and cold days of the year are here. These days can be filled with challenges and getting across them can often be intimidating and overwhelming. That is why we have brought to you some hacks and pieces of advice that will help you get through the seemingly endless and frigid weather season of the year.

Make mittens out of old sweaters – Turning sweaters into mittens is not a daunting task even if you have never participated in crafts before. A thread, needle, pair of scissors, and mitten template is all you need to get started!

Get a hot water bottle and an electric blanket and reduce the electricity bills – If a heater consumes too much electricity or you want to go the eco-friendly way, purchasing an electric blanket will ensure that you are warm throughout the night.

Take shorter, cold showers to keep your skin moisturized – Taking long, hot showers may seem the ideal way to go forward fighting the cold, it dries out your skin as hot water damages skin’s natural oils. Showering without hot water may be intimidating, but it keeps the body relaxed throughout the remaining part of the day.

To keep feet dry, use sandwich bags! – You do not necessarily need to buy snow boots if you layer your socks using sandwich bags. It is a quick, easy, and effective alternative.

Keep dry shampoo handy – We do love wearing hats and beanies but as soon as we take them off, we discover our hair in a flat and greasy state, and we surely do not like that. That is why a quick spray of dry shampoo will instantly make hair look clean.
