    The time has finally come, the temperatures are rising and we dare to go out into the fresh air again after the long winter. There is nothing nicer than feeling the grass under your bare feet and walking barefoot. But the hard skin that has built up all winter has to come off first.

    Barefoot

    Potatoes

    Even grandma knew how to help herself with potatoes. They have a lot of advantages and they are also really good for the feet. It can be used cooked or raw for pedicures. The potatoes make the hard skin tender and soft again so that you can walk around the world barefoot carefree.

    She rubs tomato slices on her face for a minute and her skin glows

    Tomato slices can replace some expensive creams!

    The fact that many women are now rubbing tomato slices over their faces may seem strange at first glance, but it’s really smart! Cucumbers have a similar effect, but of course a different nutritional profile. Do you want to save money on expensive creams? Then you should definitely try this. Convince yourself.
    Tomatoes are high in water, so they also hydrate your body quickly.

    Tomatoes

    The red juicy ball, formerly known as love apple, not only contains a lot of water (95%), but also a good mix of valuable vitamins, A, B1, B2, B3, C, E and minerals, magnesium, iron, zinc, calcium and potassium. And the scoop? Did you know that tomatoes are actually fruits? We only use it mainly as a vegetable. Incidentally, ripe tomatoes contain a substance called lycopene. It has been scientifically proven that this substance has an antioxidant effect and should strengthen the immune system.

    Tip: be sure to cut off all the green parts from the actually red tomatoes and the stalk. These should not be consumed as they contain a substance (tomatidine) that is moderately toxic and can cause vomiting and nausea. This does not apply to naturally green tomato varieties!

    Effects on the skin

    The high moisture content of the tomato has a positive and hydrating effect on the skin. The valuable minerals of the tomato nourish your skin in a natural way. The effect is just like that of an expensive moisturizing face cream – only then without chemicals and additives and fillers. The acidity of the tomato slices can help restore the skin’s PH balance. Tomatoes also contain salicylic acid. An enzyme that is also used in anti-aging creams. The vitamins A, B and C, as well as the sodium and magnesium in the tomatoes also have a supporting effect. A natural effective care for the skin, which is underestimated by many people!

    Tomato slices application

    Cut a ripe (!) and organic (!) tomato into thin slices. Clean your face with lukewarm water. Rub the tomato slices all over your face and neck in a circular motion. If pieces come loose – no problem. Massage everything into the skin. You will immediately feel an effect! Really refreshing and invigorating.##

    Face mask

    Are you more after a mask? For the cleansing mask, all you have to do is mix a whole chopped tomato with an avocado (pitted and skinless) in a blender and then apply this mixture to your face. Leave on for 20 minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm water. Your skin will appear livelier, fresher and fuller.

    She smears toothpaste on her fingernails and they shine like they haven’t in a long time


    Toothpaste on fingernails really works!

    Your fingernails are discolored by a lot of nail polish or you just want to touch them up a little? Then you should try this trick! It works better than you think!

    With this amazing trick you get long and full lashes!

    Just know how.

    Unfortunately, not all of us are blessed with full hair and long eyelashes. A few tricks can work wonders. With this great trick you can get long and full eyelashes without having to buy artificial attachments.

    You will need a mascara, an eyebrow brush and a cotton ball.
    mascara trick

    Beauty blogger Huda Kattan explains in detail how it works on her YouTube channel Huda Beauty. She uses an eyebrow brush, some cotton wool and a mascara to create an impressive amazing and full eyelash look. First, she hydrates her lashes, so dampen them with some water (you can skip this step if you don’t). Then she applies a layer of mascara and carefully runs the eyebrow brush through the cotton so that small pieces of cotton cling to the brush. Then she applies these pieces of cotton to her eyelashes with a brush and goes over them again with the mascara. Because some cotton wool sticks to the eyelashes, they appear stronger. And you already have long and full eyelashes!

    To remove makeup. That may sound logical, but how often do you tend to just leave the make-up on. However, it is important to remove make-up so that the eyelashes do not break off! For example, use extra eye makeup remover or jojoba oil (or similar quality oils).

    Old vs New Mascara. Remember to change out your mascara regularly. You should do this every 6-12 months. Unfortunately, it is really the case that bacteria are also romping around here…

    proper care. Make sure that you care for your eyelashes regularly with high-quality oil. This keeps your eyelashes strong, vital and looks more beautiful. The oil moisturizes the fine hairs.

    That’s why your shirts always have these little holes at the bottom


    What causes those little holes in clothes?

    I’m sure you know that feeling: you take a t-shirt out of the closet and realize that it has a few tiny holes in it. Now one might assume it was a hungry moth, or maybe just the sharp edge of the belt buckle, but the culprit is probably neither.

    These 6 signs may indicate that you have contracted the coronavirus without knowing it

    You could have had COVID-19 without knowing it

    These days it’s hard to pinpoint what exactly you’re suffering from when you’re not feeling well. Is it a harmless cold, the flu or Corona? Some people get very sick after contracting COVID-19, while others don’t even realize they have or have had the virus. Do you wonder if you had the virus without knowing it? These seven signs can point to it.

    1. Colds

    Many people catch colds at this time of year, although the recent cold may not have been so innocent as it could have been a symptom of the coronavirus. If you’ve only had one cold and no other unusual symptoms, experts say there’s a good chance you’ve only had a cold. Was your cold accompanied by one (or more) of the following symptoms? Then you could have had the coronavirus:

    fever and chills
    Cough
    Difficulty breathing/shortness of breath
    fatigue
    pain in the muscles
    headache
    Loss of smell and taste
    Sore throat
    Runny nose
    nausea and vomiting
    Diarrhea

    2. Loss of smell and taste

    A loss of smell and taste is one of the main indicators of the coronavirus. The symptom does not occur in every patient and can also occur with a normal cold, but if you suffer from it over a longer period of time, Corona could be behind it.
    3. Hair loss

    Little research has been done on the link between hair loss and the coronavirus, but still there are many cases in America where the patient suddenly experienced hair loss while recovering. According to a doctor, it is important to know that hair loss is almost never the only symptom of Corona. Didn’t you have any other symptoms? Then the hair loss could very well be a result of stress.

    On the next page are three more signs that you may have had COVID-19 without knowing it.

    4. Shortness of breath

    Shortness of breath is one of the more well-known symptoms of the virus. Many people who have had Corona suffer from shortness of breath for months. Exactly how long you suffer from this symptom has not yet been clarified and probably has to do with persistent inflammation in the lungs. What is clear, however, is that it is one of the most persistent symptoms that patients suffer from.

    5. Persistent cough

    A persistent cough is also a common corona symptom. Often it is a dry cough, which means that there is hardly any phlegm. A US study found that 43 percent of all sufferers continue to have a dry cough about 14 to 21 days after diagnosis.
    6. Fatigue

    A study by the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 53 percent of all corona sufferers experience extreme fatigue sometimes for up to 60 days after diagnosis. If you have noticed that you have been very flabby for a while and are showing other symptoms, you may have already had the virus.
