The Tricks to Making Your Life Easier
Hey rosettes! There won't be another Quote of the Day because this is our second post today. We decided to make a list of life hacks that are GUARANTEED to make your life SO much easier. Below are 15 life hacks that you can use 24/7:
1. Cashmere is always washed best by hand, no matter what the tag says. Use a salad spinner to dry it because it removes excess water within moments.
2. The absolute BEST way to de-fuzz a sweater is to use a pumice stone. Believe us, it works.
3. Use silk or satin pillowcases to keep your hair from breaking. They also help you achieve smoother skin.
4. If you are unsure about buying something, leave it at the store. If you are thinking about it the next day, then what are you waiting for? Go ahead and buy it!
5. When in doubt, always choose the smaller denim size because jeans, for ex., will stretch as you wear it,
6. Store jewelry in Ziploc bags with cotton balls in them. It helps gold, sterling silver, and platinum keeps its color, shine, and luster.
7. There are two ways to determine if pearls are real or not. The first way is to scratch it with your fingernail. If bits and pieces of it comes off, it's fake. If it looks perfect, no matter how hard you scratch it, then it's real. The second way is to rub them over your teeth. If they are smooth, then it's fake. Real pearls will feel slightly rough and textured (gritty).
8. If you have flats (or really any kind of shoes) that are too tight or are snug fitting then put them on with thick socks and blast it with a hairdryer on the warmest setting.
9. While fake designer bags are a HUGE don't, fake diamond studs are a HUGE do. Faux diamond studs cannot be told apart to the UNTRAINED eye. Emphasis on "untrained".
10. Cut down your closet by about 25% by asking this question, "If I were shopping right now, would I buy this?"
11. The best method to keep diamonds as beautiful as they were when you first got them: liquid dishwasher detergent and an OLD toothbrush. OLD, people, OLD!
12. If you are wearing neutral or earth colors, then accessorize with something bright! A bright coral handbag or an emerald green scarf will make sure outfit MUCH more appealing.
13. Lycra is ESSENTIAL for the best fitting jeans. The combination I prefer is 95% cotton and 5% Lycra spandex. For jeans to hold their shape, they need to be AT LEAST 2% Lycra spandex.
14. Throw on a scarf. The most simple and one of the most magnificent accent pieces ever.
15. Unless they're dresses or outfits for special occasions (weddings, communions, etc.), if you haven't worn some of your clothes within the past year, consider donating them.
Well, that's it for now everyone! Check back soon! We still haven't figured out our blogging schedule, but we promise we'll update you guys as soon as we decide. Thanks for stopping by!
