Tips To Make Your Phone Last As Much As Possible

Does your iPhone get slower by the day? In fact, every approximately two years most people find it necessary to change their mobile phone. The reason? His is simply “not what it was”. It goes slower, there are features that directly no longer work or the phone crashes/dies quickly. If this has already happened to you, then we’ll show you how to extend the life of your phone so that it lasts longer.

Be Careful of What You Download

There are some apps that, despite being very useful, slow down your phone which is great. For this reason, our recommendation is that you do not trust any app that you do not know, even if it has a good number of positive reviews. Above all, do not end up trusting any app that is not verified by an official body such as the Google Play Store. Otherwise, you are more likely to end up installing some malware sooner rather than later.

Invest In a Solid Phone Case

Ok, you may not be a fan of the design, but if in return you can save your phone from one or two serious falls, it is totally worth it. If you opt for one of the most durable ones, like an otterbox, then you know it will be safe 100%. Our recommendation? That you decide on a model that mixes enduring crashes with trend. Although we should avoid the harder material cases, since these types of materials do not absorb as much energy and the blow would be taken by other components of the phone.

Not All Updates Are Good For your Phone

Most of the updates are loaded with bug fixes, tweaks, and improvements to things we already know about. However, there are times when something goes wrong and what was supposed to improve your device, does the exact opposite. Especially on Apple devices, according to Forbes. So, what can be done? Easy, do not install this type of update at once. If not, it is better to wait for experts’ reviews and proven and comment on the ”secondary” effects they have. In the worst case, you will only have to wait a few days to improve your device a little and, at best, you will avoid messing it up.

Bill Survives a Car Crash

Morgan worked as a truck driver, and lived a pretty normal life. One day, back in 1998, he suffered a major car accident. His truck crashed completely, but he miraculously survived. He was rushed to the emergency room, as medics thought he wouldn’t make it.

To their surprise, Bill survived the accident and went home. However, the after math was a lot more serious than any one thought.

Then Dies for 14 Minutes Following A Heart Attack

As a consequence of the accident, Bill suffered a severe heart attack. He was then admitted to the hospital, and his heart stopped for 14 minutes. During that time, the doctors who tried everything, were able to revive him, but he remained in a vegetative state.

The tragedy continued as Bill’s coma lasted for over a week. The doctors eventually advised the family to cut him off life support, since they were convinced he wasn’t going to make it, again.

Wakes Up From a 12 Days Coma To Win The Lottery

12 days after he fell into the coma, Bill suddenly woke up. Under everyone’s shock, he was kept in intensive care based on the doctors’ recommendations. However, his quick recovery surprised everyone, and called him ”the luckiest man” for being able to walk away from both the car crash, and the heart attack without severe damage.

Bathroom Habits That You Should Be Giving Up ASAP

Bathroom and shower times are basically our sacred moment of the day. We each have our own habits, routines and unique way of doing things. However, there are some bathroom habits that you should be giving up. In fact, we consciously make some mistakes that will cost us a lot on the long run.

We have investigated the most common ”wrong” bathroom habits that you should be giving up ASAP. Here is what we found out.

You Need To Change Your Toothbrush Frequently

Toothbrushes are literally the synonym of clean. However, did you know that your toothbrush could contain as much germs as a dirty bathroom floor? In fact, researchers from The University of Manchester revealed that ” over 10 million germs are living on the average toothbrush”

The best way to care for your dental hygiene, is to replace your toothbrush every 2-3 months, and in the mean time, clean it through soaking it in some vinegar or lemon juice. However, make sure to follow-up clean it well with warm water.

Wash Your Towels Twice a Week

It makes perfect sense that towels get dirtier faster than clothes. Actually, if you don’t hang your wet towel under the sun after using it, then you should be taking extra cleaning measures.

Experts recommend you to wash and replace your towels at least twice a week, because the towel collects its fair share of dead skin cells. In addition, wet atmospheres create the best environment for bacteria to grow in.

Avoid Using Scented Soap On Intimate Parts

We cannot stress this enough! Please do not use scented soap, or any type of chemicals on your intimate parts. The main reason is that the chemicals found in shower gels and scents in general, unbalance the PH level of your genitals. Therefore, only resort to using smell-free soap, or specific PH neutral washing gels for your intimate parts.

Moreover, unbalancing your genitals’ PH level could lead to a yeast infection. FYI, this includes most bath-bombs…

Don’t Leave Your Razor In The Shower

Honestly, this one of those bathroom habits that we are all used to doing. I mean, who remembers to take their razor out of the bathroom after shaving? As a matter of a fact, and just like the towels, damp areas attract bacteria like crazy. Therefore, you should always keep your razor in a dry place.

In addition, another bathroom habit you should be giving up, is using the same razor more than twice or three times, in order to avoid all types of skin irritations.

Very Hot Water Is Bad For You

Did you actually know that ”healthy” showers do have a time limit? Well, they do, but we want to talk about this other habit that we often do, which is showering in burning-hot water. Yes, we absolutely love it. Does it make us feel more relaxed? definitely. However, your skin is paying the price of your comfort.

Projecting your skin to boiling hot water damages the skin tissues, and dehydrates it. According to dermatologists, if you suffer from high blood pressure or a cardiovascular disease, then hot showers could make them much worse. As oppose to cold water, which boosts your circulation. Ever wondered why football players’ training programs include iced water treatments?

Moisturize Your Body More Often

Although this is more of a post-shower habit, it is highly recommended to moisturize your skin very often. If you want a healthy, clear skin, then you should be making the effort of taking care of it.

Moreover, the best time to moisturize is not before bed, rather right after your shower. Why? because your skin is clean, and the doors are open for deeper absorption of the moisturizer.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to be pursuing the career of their dreams. Nevertheless, some work environments do help you feel comfortable and happier at work. New published study confirms that there is one common key factor, that enable you to be happier at your job.

Eden King, is an associate professor of psychology at Rice University, reveals how to increase your productivity and feel happier at work.

Self-Disclosure is a Positive Experience

The study examines the difficulty levels to express ”a stigmatized identity inside and outside of the workplace.” In fact, the author of the study identifies that expressing one’s identity at the the workplace is a complex matter.

According to the results of the research, people who share their personal information, such as sexual orientation and health problems, are more efficient and happier at work. Dr. King explains that ”self-disclosure allows people to improve connections, form relationships with others, and free their minds of unwanted thoughts.”

Express Your Identity At Work

In addition to self-disclosure, it was also found that expressing your identity at work often releases positive experiences. Actually, people who open up about who they are to their colleagues, reported decreased job anxiety and improved job satisfaction.

Furthermore, the employees’s commitment also increased, due to the fact that they felt more comfortable.

Being Yourself Makes You Happier At Work

Besides feeling happier at work, the same people also admitted feeling less stressed outside the work sphere. These people reported decreased psychological stress and increased satisfaction with their lives in general.

In conclusion, this study proves that being yourself is the key factor to fitting in well at your workplace. Furthermore, detaching yourself from judgment and other people’s perception of you, will make you feel more free, productive and feeling happier at work and at home.
