by

The changing of the weather doesn’t just mean falling leaves and sipping hot apple cider. It also means a wave of infections and sick days. Ugh! One of the most common illnesses that people get during the fall season is sinus infections. This inflammation of the nasal cavity can leave you feeling miserable, but it doesn’t have to! These at home remedies will help you fight off your sinus infection and have you feeling better in no time!

What Causes A Sinus Infection?

Back to school (and work) after the summer holidays means back to being surrounded by a sea of germs. Whenever a bacteria or irritant gets in our sinuses, it can block the «drainage system» and lead to a build up of mucus. When this gets infected, it then leads to- you guessed it- a sinus infection.

The most common symptoms people experience with a sinus infection include pressure around their face and nose, headaches, and major league congestion. If the infection is viral, taking some over-the-counter decongestants and pain relievers should do the trick in a week’s time. If it’s bacterial however, you might need to visit a doctor for an antibiotics prescription. Regardless of the cause, you are likely to have the same symptoms, all of which can be reduced and kicked in the bud with these at-home remedies.

Nasal Rinse

The quickest relief for your congestion and blockage is with a nasal rinse. The easiest way to do this is with a neti pot, which helps to get warm saline solution through your sinuses. You can use it over a sink or in a shower by pouring a saline solution through one nostril, and it will flow out the other.  This method helps to clear out mucus and any bacteria that could be growing in your nasal cavity.

Humidifier

We need moist air more than ever when we have a sinus infection. This is because the mucus can more easily flow and not get blocked, causing us to have trouble breathing. It can also increase your chances of getting more infections and bacteria trapped in your sinuses. Time to invest in a humidifier and kick that sinus infection goodbye!

Hot Shower

Asides from helping you to relax and feel clean during your bacteria-filled days suffering a sinus infection, a hot shower can help you recover faster. The steam and water help to both keep your sinuses moist and eliminate mucus. You’re sure to feel a million times better after you step out of the shower with squeaky clean skin and the gratifying sensation of finally being able to breathe again!

Why You Need To Own A Pair Of Spandex Shorts ASAP

by

Many athletes use spandex shorts for working out, but turns out this clothing item is a godsend for any woman’s wardrobe. If you don’t already own your own arsenal of the item, these incredible reasons will surely convince you to purchase a pair (or few).

Spandex Shorts Are Incredibly Comfy

No one likes to have a dreaded wedgie in the middle of the day, which can be caused by various styles of underwear. Spandex shorts on the other hand hug your curves seamlessly, making them extremely comfortable to wear all day. The material is also very breathable, which is why so many people use them to stay cool during a sweaty workout!

They Are Perfect Under Dresses

Just the thought of having to constantly monitor your dress and skirt when walking or sitting down can be enough to steer you away from them. While a Marilyn Monroe situation might seem lusty, we assure you in real life it is much more embarrassing. However, if you put on a pair of spandex shorts underneath, you can move and sit freely without the fear of being «exposed.» Never have you felt so much freedom!

Spandex Shorts Are Extremely Versatile

Whether you wear them as shorts, under a dress, or to work out, spandex shorts are one of the most versatile items you can own. They also come in a variety of colors, so you can decide to wear black (to be less seen under a skirt or dress), or wear them loud and proud as a fashion statement.

They Help Reduce Leg Chafing

One of the worst things about not wearing long pants during the warmer summer months is the dreaded leg chafe. The skin on skin rub between your inner thighs can leave some painful irritation. Spandex shorts are your easy fix! By buying a pair that is slightly longer, you can prevent any leg chafing and still wear your favorite breezy summer clothing. You’ll feel more confident in being able to strut your stuff, pain and care free!

Fashion Hacks That Are Red Carpet Approved

by

While the majority of us don’t grace the red carpet on the regular, that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy primping to feel like a star. Whether you have a big event or simply a date night with your boo, it’s nice to get dressed up. Given the amount of premieres and award shows celebrities attend, we can sure learn a thing or two from their fashion hacks.

Finally Strut Pain-Free

Many celebrities such as Melissa McCarthy and Laura Harrier swear by using CBD oil on their feet to relieve pain from uncomfortable (yet stylish) shoes. Walking around all night on high heels can really do a number on your heels and toes, and this oil helps to numb any potential pain. Dab some on a few minutes before putting on your shoes, and you’re sure to feel some long-lasting relief through the night.

Erase Away Deodorant Streaks With A Sponge

Those embarrassing white streaks left behind on your clothing from deodorant are dreadful at any occasion that involves being seen in public. That said, there is thankfully a celeb-approved solution- deodorant sponges. Yup, they exist and remove any residue from your clothing with a quick swipe. Their small portable size puts them in our beloved category of fashion hacks on the go!

Soap Up Your Zippers

bar soap- one of the fashion hacks for zippers.

We all have had that perfect dress selected to wear out, only to find the zipper won’t budge, no matter how hard you tug it. Rather than yank on the zipper until it inevitably breaks, try rubbing some bar soap on the area. The soft substance helps to create a lubricant that helps to make the zipper move more smoothly so it doesn’t snag.

Buff Your Shoes To Prevent Spills

We are all about fashion hacks that can prevent from unwanted public blunders. For anyone that has slipped and fallen while walking on uncertain surfaces, rubbing sandpaper on the soles of your shoes is a lifesaver. Even male celebrities like John Cena have used this trick to stay on his feet on the red carpet.
