Car hacks for the petrol head in you

Hey guys!

So normally I come with beauty hacks every week but I thought i'd change it up! Today is all about the small hacks you can use in your car to make every trip 100x easier!

Here's my list of simple car hacks anyone can use

1. Starting off small, use cupcake holders in your cup holders to store little things and make sure that your cup holder doesn't get dirty from all the use

2. At night park your car facing the east - towards the sun - so that the morning sun can defrost your car

3. If you have a small dent in your car, you can use a plunger to get that dent out!

4. Don't have a usb port in your car like me? Buy an adaptor that has either a USB port or your specific charger cord at the end that you can plug into the cigarette lighter

5. You can use toothpaste to help clean those headlights!

6. If you're ever unsure if you should replace the spark plugs or any small part on your car yet, check the users manual and it will let you know as most cars are different, or you can even check out a forum for your specific car! I recommend checking out http://www.carforum.net/ or http://www.automotiveforums.com/ to get you started and help you out.

7. If you're unsure on when to check things and just need a helpful guide, this will be able to help you out as a basis but remember, every car is different! Newer cars will run a lot better than older cars and the harder you drive them, the worse for wear they can become.

8. Last but not least, this hack is great for the summer if you want to help cool down your car. Roll the window down of one side of your car, then on the other side of the car, open and close the door a couple times. This creates a breeze through your car that will help cool it down a lot faster in that summer sun!

Enjoy!!

Note-taking Tips

These note-taking tips are really helpful when listening to lectures/readings when making notes. Develop or use symbols and abbreviations. I would recommend keeping a key, such as the example below at the beginning of your book just in case you forget what the symbols mean.

Simply divide your notes into 3 sections. - The right column is the general notes area. The notes area is where you keep the most important ideas the teacher covered. Try to summarise this as much as possible. - The left column is the cues area. This is where you write notes in the margins to help you understand the main ideas. - The bottom section is the summary . This is where you ...

Perfect hacks for lazy people like me!

Hey guys! Are you as lazy as me and sometimes just want to get away with the bare minimum before going out? Well then I have some great news for you! Here are my top tips on how to get away with the bare minimum on those lazy days 1. If you’re feeling extra tired because you didn’t get enough sleep from all the Netflix binging or even partying- that of course your friends dragged you out to – use a white eyeliner to make you seem more awake! Just add some on the waterline in the bottom of your lid for a fresh and awake look. 2. If you’re feeling too lazy to take your makeup off after a night out and just want to sleep when you get home, make sure to keep some makeup remover wipes and a glass of water by your bed, the makeup wipes are to make sure you don’t clog your pores and the water is so you love yourself in the morning instead of having to get out of that warm and comfy bed! 3. If you are like me and love makeup but find it tedious to look at reviews and go into s...
