image via – youtube.com
Winter doesn’t officially begin until December 21, at 11:48 P.M. EST, but temperatures are dropping well below freezing in many areas of the country already. People have been digging out their warm clothes, blankets, and extra bedding, as well as cranking up the thermostat to keep their houses nice and comfortable.
That’s just about all you can basically do to fight the winter chill, but heating the house can turn into an expensive endeavor. When it comes to keeping the warm air in, and the cold air out, insulation is key. All the cracks and crevices, or drafty areas that you notice, need to be found and insulated.
The most common and draftiest areas of our houses where the majority of heat tends to escape is doorways and windows. Stores sell a variety of products that are meant to be used to keep these areas insulated, such as “draft stoppers” that fit under or around the bottoms of doors.
For windows, there are all different types of kits and sealants, but you can easily create your own window draft-blocker without spending any money at all. This quick and easy method to insulate a window is brought to you by YouTube user AlaskaGranny. She shows how to insulate a window with bubble wrap, so if you have any on hand be sure to save it!
Other than bubble wrap, you’ll also need a pair of scissors and a spray bottle with water. This takes less than a minute to do and it can be done on any type of window. To do it yourself, start by taking a piece of bubble wrap and cut it so that it fits the window that you want covered.
Next, grab the spray bottle and spritz some water onto the glass window and on the bubbly side of the plastic bubble wrap. Place that side, the wet and bubbly one, against the window so that the smooth side faces towards you. Gently press it into place and you’re done!
The bubble wrap will add extra insulation to the window and it stays in place naturally all winter long. When you want to remove it, simply peel it off. It won’t leave behind any marks and all you may have to do is clean the glass, but it’s nothing that a little Windex can’t fix. Try it this winter and save yourself a lot of money, you’ll be extra toasty and won’t have to spend a dime.
Be sure to pass this tip along to your family and friends, it will save them so much money!

This Dr. Reveals The Secret Trick To Stop A Baby From Crying In Less Than 30 Seconds Every Time!
image via – youtube.com
For experienced parents or those dealing with a newborn for the first time, a baby who is crying in a wailing, inconsolable way, is really upsetting. You have checked their diaper and fed them, and they are still crying hard. What to do? The video you are about to watch below, offers a miracle method, that will comfort the baby instantly!
Dr. Robert Hamilton, a pediatrician, has developed a technique of holding, that is best used on babies from 0 to 3 months. Having practiced pediatrics for over 30 years, Dr. Hamilton frequently has to deal with crying babies who are in a strange place, and often are getting their first inoculations.
Watch as he demonstrates this holding position, that he illustrates on several crying babies. He holds the baby in a 45 degree angle (protecting the neck), and secures their arms on their chest with his hand. With his other hand under the baby’s bottom, he shows different gentle rocking motions which instantly soothes the child.
The parents cannot believe their eyes or ears, for that matter! He demonstrates the technique several times, so that you will be able to follow it easily. What a lovely doctor he is; he doesn’t say exactly why this works but I have a theory…I think the position mimics the baby’s experience in the womb.
Have you tried this technique? Let us know if it works for you!

She Begins Rubbing Tumeric Onto Her Cheeks. But When She Rubs It Off It’s AWESOME!
image via – youtube.com
Acne, eczema, redness, inflammation, dark spots or under eye circles, unwanted facial hair, wrinkles. If you have any one of the aforementioned facial and skin issues then this homemade mask is for you. It brightens skin and tightens pores as it works to clear up acne and eczema, and reduces any redness or inflammation.
It also helps fade those unsightly dark spots and under eye circles, while working to reduce unwanted facial hair. Plus, it’s anti-aging and fights wrinkles while leaving skin soft and smooth. This mask is the most beneficial one you’re likely to ever come across and it all comes down to a few simple, inexpensive, and easy to find ingredients, the main one being turmeric.
Turmeric is a very colorful, orange-yellow spice that comes in powder form. Most of the world’s supply is grown in India where the Turmeric plants roots are gathered, boiled, and then dried in super hot ovens. Once fully dry they’re ground down into a fine powder, which is very strong and easily stains whatever it comes into contact with.
That’s why it’s often used as a dye agent, even though it’s most widespread and common use is as a spice for flavoring foods. With that being said, make sure you wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty or stained when making this facial treatment. You also want to wear gloves or your nails and skin will turn yellow, in the same way that yellow mustard stains hands and fingers.
Gather together a small bowl, a teaspoon, a tablespoon, flour, turmeric, almond oil, and regular milk. Place 2 tablespoons of flour and 1 teaspoon of turmeric in the bowl, then add 1 tablespoon of almond oil and as much milk as it takes to get a creamy consistency that’s not too runny or thick. For reference, she started out with 3 tablespoons and added a little more to get it just right.
Once those four ingredients are all mixed together it’s ready to be applied onto your face. Be extra careful when you go to apply this mask and avoid your eyes and eyebrows since it works to remove facial hair and can take your brows off. Also, be mindful of that fact when working around your hairline.
You can apply it under the under eye area but make sure you don’t get too close to your eyelashes! Leave the mask on for 20 minutes then wash it off with lukewarm water. Use a towel you don’t mind ruining or getting all yellow to wipe any remaining bits off your face.
During this part be careful to not get any of the turmeric on the counter top because it will stain that, and anything else it comes into contact with. After you get the mask off you may have slightly yellow skin. Wash your face again, this time with a gentle cleanser, to get rid of any remaining residue and follow that up with a light moisturizer.
The turmeric facial mask can and should be applied at least once every week. It’s all natural and won’t cost you more than a few dollars to make. For some of us out there this beauty tip could change our appearance, and lives, for the better. So rifle through your spice rack and grab the turmeric, mix it up and smear some on your face, and be amazed at how such an unlikely solution actually works!

He Pours H2O On His Propane Tank Before He Starts Grilling. The Reason? I Had No Idea!
image via – youtube.com
Nothing tastes quite as delicious as food barbecued on the grill in the summertime, it just hits the spot. Everything from meat to corn on the cob and every other veggie under the sun takes on a whole new dimension of flavor when barbecued to perfection. There’s also nothing worse than finding out that you’re low or close to running out of gas right when you’re about to start grilling!
It happens, usually at the most inopportune times, especially if your propane tank doesn’t have a gauge on it. However, rather than abandon your BBQ plans you can try this neat little trick from America’s Test Kitchen to measure exactly how much propane is left in the tank. That way, you won’t ever run out of gas unexpectedly ever again.
First, boil up a pot of water and bring it outside to where your propane tank is located. Carefully pour the hot water all around the tank and down every side, making sure that the entire thing is covered. Next, feel around the tank with your hand and test areas to see if they are warm or cool.
Warm spots indicate that the tank was heated up by the water because with no gas to cool it down, there’s no propane at that level. Cool spots indicate the opposite. Where the tank is cooler to the touch is the level the propane is at. That’s because the liquid in the tank is absorbing all the heat, leaving the surface cool to the touch.
So the next time you are unsure about how much propane is left in your grill’s tank simply unleash your inner MacGyver, boil up a pot of water, and drip it down and around the tank. Cold spots will reveal the level and you can go from there.
Check out the video for more details and to get a better visual idea, and don’t forget to pass it on and enjoy!

Apparently This Is The Simple Trick To Clear Your Nose Instantly! I’m So Glad I Learned THIS
image via – youtube.com
Allergy season is upon us and although the harsh winter weather is over, our bodies are working overtime and immune systems might be running a little low. Don’t let a measly head cold bring down this spring and summer. Use these easy tips to relieve a runny nose anytime and anywhere.
The first trick is to press hard on the roof of your mouth, closest to your teeth, with the tip of your tongue for about one second. Then push on the spot between your eyes with the firm pressure of one finger for one second. Alternate these actions for about twenty seconds in order to rock your vomer bone which is behind your nose.
The rocking back and forth motion of this bone will release the congestion in your sinuses. You can repeat this method as much as is needed for your sinuses to be clear enough for breathing.
Another secret is to tip your head back, pinch your nose, and hold your breath for as long as you can. When you are finally forced to take a breath, your sinuses will clear automatically thanks to your survival instinct. This instinct kicks in when your brain realizes that you are not obtaining enough oxygen and responds to remedy the situation.
This technique can also be repeated for temporary relief of sinus pressure due to a pesky cold or flu.

She Puts Toothpaste All Over Her Nails. The Reason Is Genius!
image via – youtube.com
If you have ever painted your nails with a glitter filled nail polish then you know that it’s hands down the worst type of polish to remove. It takes ten times longer to scrub the glittery bits off your nails than any version without it.
The most annoying part has got to be when you’re using a cotton pad soaked in nail polish remover and it snags and sticks to the glitter on the nail, which tears it up into an unusable mess, and makes it worthless. If all this sounds familiar then you need to view this video and learn this cool trick.
It will save you a lot of time, but overall it’ll just make you more sane the next time you go to remove the dreadful glitter polish. You will need cotton balls (or wipes or pads), nail polish remover, a nail cleaning brush or toothbrush, Vaseline, toothpaste and an optional lemon.
Start by gently rubbing and removing the topcoat with nail polish remover and a wipe before rubbing some Vaseline onto each one of your nails. In a small dish place a few drops of water, add in a dime sized amount of any type of toothpaste, and squeeze half a lemon in if you wish to whiten and brighten your nails.
Mix it all together well before dipping the nail or toothbrush in to pick it up, then rub the concoction onto your nails. Scrub fast and apply a little bit of pressure to really work off the polish. After about a minute of steady scrubbing the glittery polish should start to come right off.
If you use a nail brush you can get all of the nails in one go at once and that’s what makes this the fastest way to get stubborn glitter polish off. When your finger tips are clear of polish simply wash and dry your hands before applying another coat of Vaseline to help moisturize your cuticles and nails. That’s it!
The accompanying video shows you how easily glitter polish comes off nails when you use this trick. The method is perfect for those of us who like to change up our polish color or texture often. Try it the next time you want to remove tired, old, once pretty glittery nail polish, and you’ll be glad you watched the video and learned the easy technique.
