Wonderful Wednesday

Hello all and welcome. With the new beginning of spring, flowers and gardens popping up, its also time for a more normal life. I have been busy rejuvenating the soils in my flower pots and containers because the soil in pots has been depleted from last years plants, the soil has much needed amendments so new flowers and vegetables can thrive.
For me it is a rewarding experience because I love having my hands in the soil. Not to mention I love fresh herbs, tomatoes and squash and the colors of some pretty flowers around my patio! By saving me money on the vegetables I can grow, they taste much better and I knowing how they were grown, without chemicals and more nutritious!

What do you plant vegetables, house plants, in a garden or in containers?
Let me know if you have any garden questions, I’d be happy to have a conversation.

How to Clean Doors and Windows Like A Pro

How-to-Clean-Doors-and-Windows-Like-A-Pro Have you ever spent a lot of time cleaning doors and windows, only to realize a misty look after drying? Well, that feeling is draining. That effect is caused by cleaning the window the wrong way. However, you do not have to hire a professional to clean them for you just because you could not do it right. Here at Total Home Barrie we have decided to show you how clean doors and windows like a pro.

You need to learn simple hacks that anyone can follow. There are no sophisticated tools required, only what is available at home. Here is what you do to have sparkling windows and doors Barrie.

Consider the Day’s Weather

As far as knowing how to clean doors and windows is concerned, you should consider the day’s weather. Weather is a major contributing factor to your window cleaning success. Ensure that the day you decide to clean your window is calm and cloudy. It helps in preventing evaporation of the liquid cleaner that occurs during sunny and windy days.

Wet days are quite a piece of work. They make it almost impossible because your doors and windows Barrie never dry. This means that you won’t know whether it is clean or not.

Dust Your Windows

It is a vital preliminary step to take. Remove all the dust and visible chunks of dirt using a dry brush, cloth or vacuum cleaner. This practice prevents the formation of mud after spraying the liquid cleanser.

Your shades and blinds should be dusted at this point to prevent them from making the window dirty. A dry microfiber cloth is ideal for this work.

Choose the Right Cleaner

You do not want your windows to look like a mess when you are done, right? Good. A glass cleaner that has grip is the best option. It does not evaporate quickly, which help you clean your window thoroughly. Alternatively, you can make your glass cleaner at home using these ingredients:

Water – 2 cups
White or cider vinegar – ½ cup
Rubbing alcohol with 70% concentration – ¼ cup

Mix the ingredients thoroughly and pour the mixture in a spray bottle. Make sure you label the spray bottle as a safety precaution.

Type of Cloth You Use

If you do not want to use a newspaper for drying your doors and windows Barrie, a microfiber cloth does a perfect job. It absorbs perfectly, is washable and does not leave marks behind.

Other than a microfiber cloth, you can use paper towels. When using this, keep in mind that not all paper towels can give satisfactory results. Do some testing with your choice before you drain all your money in paper towels that will not work for you.

Avoid the Squeegee

If you are working on small windows, a squeegee can give you a lot of work. When squeezing the water from your window, water ends up on the floor. This means extra work for you after you are done with cleaning the windows.

But, if you are working on large windows such as full glass windows, a squeegee can be handy. It helps you work fast.

Break it Down

You do not have to work on your windows daily or weekly. It can be tedious and time-consuming. Instead, make window cleaning one of the thorough and do it once or twice a year.

When cleaning, do it in a different direction for the inside and the outside. That is, if you clean your interior part of the window horizontally, then clean the exterior vertically. This trick will help you spot which side of the window form a spot if any streak is left after the window dries.

Use Steel Wool

Use steel wool for cleaning your doors and windows Barrie? Relax. You do not use it on the entire window but on stains that are too stubborn on the liquid cleaner. Scrub the stain gently and dry the spot.

There you go. Your windows become clean without spending too much. You can do it with your family members or a friend if you do not like cleaning alone. Now you know how to clean doors and windows, give your windows a fresh look once in a while as an overall window maintenance practice.

How to Avoid Road Rage

Statistics show that six million auto accidents occur annually in the US, leading to a terrible loss of life and countless unnecessary injuries, and a worrying percentage of those accidents are caused or at least influenced in some way by road rage.

Studies show that over 80% of drivers admit to experiencing road rage, and it’s easy to see why. It’s perfectly natural to get angry or enraged if you see other road users behaving recklessly or failing to follow the rules, especially if their behavior is putting yourself and your passengers in danger.

However, adding more anger and aggression to these kinds of situations is never a good idea. If you let yourself give in to those negative feelings, you could make mistakes and start driving just as recklessly as the person who annoyed you in the first place.

This is why the best option is to keep your calm and try to continue driving as safely as possible, even though it might seem like quite a challenge to do so. Here are some helpful tips to aid you in reducing your risks of giving in to road rage.

Know the Risks

One good tip to help reduce your own personal risks of giving in to road rage is to actually take some time and learn more about the dangers it can cause. Many people are unaware of just how dangerous and deadly it can be to lose one’s temper while sitting behind the wheel, but statistics show that countless people are terribly injured on a regular basis because of road rage.

By educating yourself on the realities of road rage, you’ll be better prepared to respond accordingly and appropriately when rage-inducing situations and scenarios arise. This information will help you make smarter decisions and understand the importance of remaining cool, calm, and collected.

Keep Calm and Carry on

Following on from the previous point, keeping calm and staying sensible is, quite simply, the best way to react when you feel at risk of seeing red and getting enraged. As explained above, road rage can cause accidents and make already dangerous situations even more perilous, so there’s absolutely no logical sense in adding even more anger to those kinds of environments.

If you let yourself get angry, you might fail to notice other hazards or threats around you, or you might start speeding, forget to use your signals, and put your own passengers in danger. Don’t make those kinds of mistakes. Take deep breaths, focus on your own personal safety, and simply carry on driving in a sensible and smart way.

Set the Right Example

A good way to motivate yourself into doing the right thing in difficult circumstances on the road is to think about how you can set a good example for others, including your own children if you have them. Remember that your actions on the road can be seen and copied by others, so it’s certainly better to show them the right way to behave, rather than being yet another road rage statistic.

The only way for roads to become safer is for the majority of drivers to make the right decisions, set the right examples, and take the right actions, and that can start with you. Try to see yourself as a model driver, working to set an inspiring and positive example for others, and remember that two wrongs never make a right.

Don’t Forget Your Passengers

If you aren’t driving alone at the time when you start to feel angry or upset, spare a moment to think about your passengers. Upon entering your vehicle and taking a seat in one of the passenger positions, those people effectively put their lives and safety in your hands. It’s a big responsibility, and it’s something that should be treated with care and respect.

Take a second to think about how your passengers might feel if they see you losing control and making reckless decisions; think about their feelings and thoughts, and remember that it’s your duty to keep them safe. This should help to inspire you to cool off and make the right decisions, rather than letting yourself do something you might regret.

Final Word

There are so many risks on the roads for the average driver to worry about, and there’s no need to add road rage incidents to that list. Getting angry while driving only ever leads to bad consequences, so be sure to keep these top tips in mind and avoid making those mistakes yourself.

8 Tips to Make Your Makeup Look Natural

Makeup is often used to enhance the features on our face that already make us uniquely beautiful. It’s not about turning ourselves into a different person, rather, it’s about being ourselves with some of our best features put in the spotlight.

With that said, it’s important for makeup users to know the ways to create a more natural look and bring out their best characteristics effectively. Below, we share 8 tips that can help you achieve a natural makeup look and make you feel your best.

1. Cleanse your face first.

Some people regard using makeup as a form of art. As such, a clean and flawless canvas is always better to work on. To make sure your makeup blends in easily and will not create visible caking, wash your face with a cleanser and then use a cloth to gently exfoliate and clear out spots and blackheads.

2. Keep your skin well-hydrated.

Aside from having clean skin, it’s also good to apply moisturizers or hydrating products so the makeup can settle better. Hydrating your skin is also great for achieving that young, fresh look, and it may even have anti-aging benefits.

3. Choose a lipstick color that’s a shade darker than your lips.

To effectively pull off a natural look for your lips, choose a natural lip color that’s slightly darker than your own lips. Next, rub a finger on the bullet and then press it onto your lips. Stay within the outlines of your lips as much as possible. Remember, the goal is not to alter your appearance but to add a nice touch to the beautiful features that you already have.

4. Use a brow highlighter as an eyeliner.

This trick is relatively new in the scene yet highly effective. All you need is your favorite eyebrow highlighter, which you should use on your upper lash line. What you accomplish is a natural-looking nude hue that draws attention to your eyes and makes them look brighter and slightly bigger.

5. Use cream blush instead of blush powders.

As popular as blush powders are, cream blush products work better for that no-makeup makeup look. Consider a peach-colored blush cream and add them along the tops of your cheekbones, as well as down your nose and onto your Cupid’s bow.

6. Opt for liquid foundations.

This is one of the easiest ways to get flawless yet natural-looking skin. Liquid foundations are also easier to apply, tend to be better to build on, and they subtly mimic the texture of your actual skin.

7. Use a face oil under your foundation.

If you want to look more ‘glowing’, use skin oil around your cheekbones, the center of your forehead, and down your nose bridge before you apply foundation. The effect may be subtle, but you’ll have a more noticeable shimmer on the contours of your face, which helps highlight your natural features.

8. Brush your brows.

Your brows deserve a little care and maintenance, too. Get a cleaner look by brushing your brows up and into place with a brow gel that contains fibers. If possible, stick to a color for the brow gel that already matches your own brow color so your makeup looks more natural.

When it comes to achieving a natural look, less is always more.

This is advice that you’ll hear from everyone, including professional makeup artists. Compared to other looks you can achieve with makeup, the natural look is by far the most attractive. Instead of using products to completely change your appearance, you’re merely making your desirable features stand out. This is one great way of embracing your natural beauty and feeling more confident in your own skin.
