Tips To Improve Your Photography Skills

With the creative flexibility that photo editing tools like Adobe Photoshop offer, many rely on post-processing to improve their photos. However, if you are not keen on getting all techie and learning the ropes of photo editing tools, you can still come up with nice photos. Below are seven simple tips to improve your photography skills: 1. Go through your camera's user manual. With all that excitement that comes with purchasing a new camera, it can be easy to overlook the user manual. But what most people don't know is that it contains a lot of key information that can help you make the most out of your camera and learn how take better photos. Granted that you still have your user manual stashed away somewhere, it is not too late to retrieve it and go through it from beginning to end.

How To Make Alcohol Free Hand Sanitizer Easily At Home

How To Make Alcohol Free Hand Sanitizer Easily At Home.


Today we are undergoing a terrible  health crisis the world. I thought it would be a good time to share with you how you can make a fabulous, moisturizing, germ busting hand sanitizer without alcohol and with the ingredients that are easy to source.  This is a hard time, but to get the materials from the shop, but being able to be self sufficient and make your own stuff which would be a better option today. 


I have chosen to make my hand sanitizer alcohol free with ingredients easily available.  You can make yours with whatever you can source and whatever your wallet deems appropriate.   

I am using  all natural and organic aloe vera gel that does not contain any colorants, alcohol free, scent free witch hazel, a bit of water and several drops of my favorite Tea tree oil, essential oil.  You do not have to use the essential oil I have chosen.  You can use Thieves oil, which has great germ fighting properties, lemon, peppermint, eucalyptus or Bergamot, all of which have germ fighting properties.  Please do your own research before choosing what is best for you.  I chose to use Tea tree oil for it's known germ fighting abilities.  I often use this oil in daily life and attribute my overall wellness to its regular use in personal care as well as in my housekeeping regimine.  


The blend is simple. 


•Pour 1/4 cup of aloe vera gel

•2 tablespoons of witch hazel 

•A bit of water

•15 drops or so of the essential oil.  


Cap it and give it a good shake to incorporate.  It may or may not separate due to whatever brand of gel you have used. It has held steady since I made it. Do not exceed 2 tablespoons of water, because It will make it much too runny.


If you have smaller bottles/containers, you can simply cut the recipe in half or you can distribute the mixture among more than one container.  No worries.  This is going to be a nice go to for your bag, purse or back pack.  I am always vigilant about having either a spray or a gel in my bag for disinfecting the grocery cart when I go to the store.  Does it look odd to whip out a spray bottle and douse the grocery cart.  Probably.  Do I care?  Nope!


As you can see, a little bit of ingredients can go a long way.  You only need a few drops in the palm of your hand to make them sanitized and moisturized not to mention smelling great!    I chose to use alcohol free aloe and witch hazel because it can dry out your skin.  This will not and when you are using the sanitizer multiple times a day that can make a big difference for your cuticles and the reduction of hangnails.  


I hope that this will be something you can use and that you will try.  I hope that you all stay healthy and well and do everything you can to take the proactive measures necessary to facilitate that.
