7 brilliant tips to make your life easier
Surfing the internet allows us chat with people, discover funny content, exciting films and TV series, and more: sometimes it shows us brilliant solutions to problems that we may not have tried yet and which turn out to be truly sensational.
It is a question of stumbling upon the right advice that comes at the right time to solve some long-standing annoyance that we have simply had to put up with and accept. From threading a needle without effort and frustration, to the satisfaction of emptying juice boxes completely, the web sometimes offers us a solution to everyday problems on a silver platter.

If you often struggle with the problem of chapped lips, perhaps you should start using lip scrubs, as well as emollient products (provided that the problem is not due to other causes, for example, poor nutrition). And you can also prepare this in no time at home, by mixing a little olive oil with raw sugar.
Don't have suitable eye shadow brushes, or do you want to try a different way of applying makeup to your eyelids? The web loves the use of a eyeshadow spread, or rather "dabbed on", using a simple handkerchief. Many have tried this method and rave about it. Would you try this for your makeup?
More beauty tips: for a French manicure, you can also use old make-up sponges. There are two ways to do this: brush the nail polish directly onto the sponge, or first cover it with a layer of cling film and then put the nail polish on it.
Then proceed as follows: press the tip of the nail into the nail polish so that it only covers the tip, just like you see in the French method. And if you need to touch them up, using a tip of the sponge (or cotton swab) you can remove the smudges of color.
Did you underline something with a highlighter by mistake? Rub a cotton swab on a cut lemon, and then use it to erase the fluorescent ink. It works like magic!

Instead of getting frustrated trying to thread the eye of the needle, place the thread on the palm of your hand, then place the eye of the needle, flat, on the thread itself and press down into the palm, depressing it a little into the flesh (without hurting yourself, of course). From that position move the eye up and down along the thread, until it starts to enter the eye of the needle by itself.
When traveling, it is useful to carry toothpaste with you in solid form, as it takes up less space and there is no risk of it being stopped by security. And you can easily prepare this at home: just spread the toothpaste on aluminum foil or parchment paper and let it air dry (there are those who also use a little baking soda to speed up this process) and then cut the dried out product into pieces. When they are hard enough, you put them in a sachet and take them with you!
A little girl found the solution to getting to the leftovers in fruit juice boxes: instead of sucking vigorously trying to get the straw to where the leftover juice is pooling, just take the straw out and insert it back in upside down, so that the folded end gets right to the bottom!
