10 Everyday Things You Probably Keep Doing Wrong
According to some studies, we’re living on autopilot 46.9% of our life. This constant mind-wandering often distracts us from our daily activities and even makes us feel unhappy. That’s why it’s crucially important to pay attention to every the smallest detail of our lives and always try to look at things with fresh eyes.
Trends made a list of 10 everyday things we are constantly doing wrong without even realizing it.
10. Holding your drink
The right way to hold any drink is to hold a bottle by its neck and a glass by its stem. Here’s the reason why — if you hold the glass by its body, the heat of your hands affects the temperature of your drink, causing it to warm up and even change its taste and appearance.
9. Shampooing
Both hair stylists and dermatologists say that daily shampooing may be harmful for your hair as it removes important oils from it. As a result, the oil glands on your scalp try to compensate by producing even more oil than usual. So if you don’t want your hair to get greasy too fast, wash it no more than 2 or 3 times a week.
8. Microwaving leftovers
Although microwaves were designed to heat food evenly, they can’t properly do that if you leave food in a huge pile in a middle of the plate. Instead, try digging a hole in the middle of your leftovers and place them around the rim of the plate before putting it into the microwave. This trick will help the heat pass through all of your food without leaving the middle cold.
7. Wearing a bobby pin
When you insert a bobby pin into your hair, make sure that its wavy side faces downward. Due to this method, the curves of the pin will grip your hair much tighter and its position on your scalp will be secured. Besides that, the bobby pin will appear less visible on your locks.
6. Placing your spoon when cooking
If you don’t want to have one more dirty plate after preparing dinner, you can try putting your cooking spoon right into the handle of the pot. But be careful: it’s better to choose a wooden spoon with a long handle that will perfectly fit this little holster.
