In this episode, some handy hacks for when you're out and about.
Alright, so for this one,
if you want to bring your makeup brushes out with you
and you don't want to carry your whole pouch,
here's a really simple solution.
All you need is a plastic glove, okay?
I... I swear this glove is made for Shrek.
Anyway.
So all you need to do is grab your brushes,
and then, you want to place the brush in... each of the finger...
...hole... Holder things.
Okay, so the way to put it in -
you just twist it,
so that it doesn't fray your brush.
And then you want to carry it on with the next one...
last one for the little finger
and there you have it - a nifty little way to store your makeup brushes when you're on the go!
And you just do this -
Chuck it in your bag, so like this your brushes won't get dirty.
It won't dirty other things as well. It's super cheap and
And...
It doesn't take up a lot of room.
So when you're traveling and you want to bring all your accessories
and you've got really long pieces like this
it can be really annoying when you bunch it all up
and it gets all tangled and you got...
you're wasting time trying to untangle it.
So to solve this problem, all you need is some cling wrap.
So I'm going to go ahead and get my first piece.
Okay? And then I'm gonna...
Wrap that up like these.
Really, really easy.
Do the same thing again.
Just keep winding it together. Okay.
This one is very special, it's got my parents inside.
I wear it all the time, and they go everywhere with me.
Anyway. And I put that inside there,
and then lastly...
My little jade necklace that my mama gave me.
This one really gets tangled up so easily.
Chuck that in there,
you've got to twist, twisty the ends like this
and there you go.
So now I'm gonna show you just how easily it is to unwrap.
There's my first piece.
And that's two.
Three.
Stuck to the stone.
Okay.
And there you go, my friends.
Much easier, tangle-free and super fast.
Now when you're going to be travelling on a short trip,
the last thing you want to do is be lugging around big bottles of lotion
or toothpaste tubes... and the list goes on.
So here's a really clever way to store them for a one-time on-the-go use.
So all you need is a straw,
and you can cut it to whichever length you want
so I'm gonna use this one.
The first thing you need to do is you need to melt the plastic right here.
And then as soon as it's hot,
then you use the pliers to kiap it together so that it makes a seal.
It's really, really simple, only takes a second.
Now, if you don't have pliers,
you can always use the end of a bottle.
You do the same thing.
You would just press that just like this and that should create a seal.
We're gonna put lotion inside the straw now
so an easier way to get the moisturizer inside the straw
is you just squeeze the straw and it will suck the moisturizer inside the straw just like that.
So you can see,
that... it's all filled up to about here, okay?
You do not want to fill it up to the very top because you need some room
so that you can kiap it later because you need to seal it right?
Okay, so I'm gonna grab my lighter again, light the end, heat it up, melt it and then...
Kiap it.
And that, my friends, is it!
You can also do it in other colors like this one?
I've got it in clear and then afterwards you can label it to whatever you like.
Che neh neh nehhh.
Let's say you are out and about and you're wearing a shirt with buttons
and then all of a sudden your button falls off
and then you've got this massive gape in your shirt, okay?
So I'm going to teach you a really quick solution -
First off, you need to find your button.
Make sure you don't lose it.
Okay?
Ooh!
Oh...
First of all you need to find your button that fell off.
And you need a paperclip, okay?
Open up your paperclip just like that
and thread your paperclip through the button hole.
After that you want to very carefully poke a hole in your shirt where the button was
then after that, you can fold it back up.
So I'm gonna go ahead. I'm gonna button it up
There you go!
A quick solution of how to get your button back on without a needle and thread.
When you're on the go, it's really easy to forget to care for your skin.
Especially when you're traveling,
it's really important not to neglect this.
I live in Singapore, and it is really, really humid
so it's easy for us to forget to moisturize.
But it is super important.
Now at the moment, I am using this Nivea oil in lotion,
it contains jojoba oil,
it's fast-absorbing and really great for your skin.
Now the cool thing is even though it contains jojoba oil,
it is actually not oily.
Feels so good.
So now I have an oil blotter,
I only just put the lotion on my hand
and I put this blotter on immediately.
So as you can see, there is absolutely no oil on this oil blotter,
which is quite amazing because
considering that this contains jojoba oil,
you would think that the oil would come out on here.
But it doesn't.
Now the reason why you don't see oil on the oil blotter
is because the oil is actually infused into the lotion
instead of being a separate layer.
So...
Win-win, right?
I'm going to do a really interesting test right now.
I have a little device that actually measures the oil and moisture levels.
So before applying anything,
I'm gonna test my skin, how dry it is.
So as you can see, my oil level is 40 and my moisture level is 25.4.
So now I'm going to apply the Nivea oil in lotion to my arm,
and then I'm gonna do the test, which is here.
We're yellow now and look at my reading.
My moisture level has shot up to 75.5, which is fantastic,
I mean... yeah lah.
I just put the lotion on my arm so that's a given
but look at the oil reading - it's gone down.
And that's why my skin doesn't feel sticky and greasy.
It actually, no joke, feels super silky and smooth.
Like really.
And I'm one, I do not like to actually use moisturizer because of that reason
and this, I tell you... is the bomb.
It's like... it's like you don't have moisturizer on but you do.
So if you're in a hurry, and you need to iron a piece of clothing
and you don't want to bring out the ironing board and the iron and all the rest of it.
So all you need is a hair iron, and I'm just gonna kiap the piece of cloth that I want ironed
and it's as simple as that
and... just drag that along so that it's nice and straight.
Okay.
So...
It looks like this now.
Really, really simple, quick and easy way,
obviously you wouldn't want to do a whole shirt with a straightening iron,
but this is just a quick fix so say if you've got a shirt on,
and you crumpled the bottom of your shirt,
this is the solution, people.
So some of you may or may not know,
you can actually use body lotion as a shaving cream.
Not only that, it's super moisturizing.
Now I haven't moisturized my legs in quite a while
because I wanted to show you guys how effective this Nivea oil in lotion is.
So I'm gonna go ahead, I'm gonna show you how dry and how scaly my legs are so...
There it is! Boom!
So all you need to do is you need to put a little bit of moisturizer on your leg like this.
I actually don't have hairy legs...
...at the moment.
It feels just like shaving cream.
It doesn't hurt when you shave and this is like a really cheap razor,
which usually leaves you very like, icky.
I've got no hair to shave, hahaha!
But you get the idea right, guys?
So say you're on the go, and your hair is frizzing out like this.
Okay, now most of us will carry a little bit of, like a little tube of moisturizer or whatever.
I'm just gonna use this right here.
So squeeze some lotion into your palm and just rub it in, then...
Tame that mane, my friends. Tame that mane.
And what that does, it... tames the mane.
You just run that through your hair,
it's gonna make your hair smell fabulous,
and that's all there is to it.
It kind of works like a serum,
but it smells better and it's less oily, and it's fast-absorbing.
If you use the Nivea product that is lah.
So this nifty little hack is
for when you have very loose sleeves, all you need is a hair tie and there you go.
It's a really simple easy way to keep your sleeve up.
Another way you can do it is you just
grab the corner like this and you want to fold it in.
Grab it all and just tuck that in and then you want to push your sleeve up like that
and there you go.
Now if you don't have time to do a proper shoe polish,
a really quick and easy solution is just to use moisturizer.
So I'm gonna put a little bit of lotion on my paper towel,
and you can see here it's like really moldy and gross.
I'm just gonna go ahead
and apply the moisturizer on this bit here.
Oh wow.
That was so good, man.
It's nice and smooth so the leather has absorbed all the moisture
so as you can see, the lotion has given a nice instant shine on the leather boot.
This one looks shiny and new, and this one looks old and dull.
Really simple solution and everyone's got moisturize at home, right?
Winner winner!
