It’s Friday night and you are ready to take over the city. Well, sort of. Though the world has been at a standstill lately, things are slowly getting back on track. Bit by bit, little by little, things are opening up and we are diving headfirst into our new normal. What will that look like? How will things change? A lot of information is still up in the air. While we are in this in between of sorts...it is nice to think about the future. About making plans, going out, and having fun. Perhaps that is why my mind has been on nights out with friends. Of getting glam, splurging, and having a fabulous time. With any night out there is always an unexpected mishap or two that threatens to ruin it all. Not this time. I am planning ahead! From getting ready to making lasting memories, these life hacks are guaranteed to improve that next night out. Whenever it may happen.
Life Hacks For Getting Ready
You are putting the finishing touches on
your night out look. Yes, you are looking great and feeling even better. Until
something small manages to de-rail your confidence. Never fear! There are
simple solutions for every pesky problem. Here are a few helpful life hacks for
getting ready…
Your nails aren’t dry. Still. There
is nothing so frustrating as waiting for nail polish to dry. (Trust me, I've been there before. That is one of the reasons I tend to reach for fast drying formulas.) You keep
waiting and waiting and waiting. All you want to do is get on with your night. Unfortunately, nail polish
often takes way longer that anticipated. Not this time! Put on your nail polish as
usual. Then dip your nails into a small bowl of icy water. Keep your nails
submerged for a couple of minutes before you remove them. By the time you do, your polish will be perfectly dry. Easy, right?
Your shirt collar or dress is wrinkled.
Don’t have an iron handy? Running late? Need to make a quick fix? You can
remove pesky wrinkles from your shirt collar or from your favourite dress.
All you need to do is grab a hair straightener. Carefully glide the plate over
the wrinkled area like you would if you were using iron. It’s faster – and it
allows you target wrinkles more effectively.
It’s not just getting ready that can cause
minor setbacks. There is so much more to a successful night than the way you
look. You want your night out experience to be fantastic from start to finish.
So, how can you make it happen? With these life hacks, of course….
You chose to eat garlic bread at dinner.
Now you have a serious case of garlic breath.
Okay, so that cheesy bread was amazing. Except there were no
complimentary mints at the end of your meal…. and your breath is not ready to
get you through the rest of the night. Don’t panic. Just grab a green tea. End
your meal with a cup or stop by the next coffee shop you come across. Your bad
breath will be gone before you reach the next destination.
There are tons of great bars, clubs, and
restaurants to choose from. That’s the good news. The not so good news? They
can be pretty loud. If you are looking for some meaningful conversation or want to enjoy some
much-needed catch up time with friends (especially after such a long quarantine), a noisy environment makes this difficult to achieve.
The solution? According to recent studies, your right ear is better at deciphering
speech that is quiet, muted, or quick. So, put your best ear forward.
Little snafus make fun-filled nights out less than ideal. Not anymore. With these simple but effective life hacks,
your next evening will be one to remember.
