Keeping the bathroom clean is not an easy task, and it requires a lot of time and effort. Hair-clogged drains, moisture-loving mildew, dirty shower doors, and, ahem, the toilet all make for an unpleasant chore.
lets know know how to make bathroom cleaning less of a burden. Here are 7 super effective tricks to help you enjoy a great-smelling and germ-free shower room in no time at all.

Streak-free mirrors

If you are not a fan of expensive commercial window cleaners that leave those pesky streaks on your mirrors, you can make your own toxic-free cleaner at home. Simply make up a solution of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, spray it on the mirror, and wipe it with a sponge to get any spots off.
You can also use shaving cream. Not only will it make your glass surfaces shine, but it will also prevent your bathroom mirror from steaming up after your next hot shower.

A sparkling bathtub

One way to get rid of germs and make your bathtub look brand new again is by using a mixture of 1/2 cup of vinegar, 1 cup of rubbing alcohol, and 1/4 cup of water. Add all the ingredients to 4 quarts of warm water. Spread the mixture evenly over the dirty areas, let it sit for 15 minutes, and then rinse well. You will be amazed at how clean your shower will be.

A standard mouth rinse can make a perfect toilet cleaner. Dissolve your oral rinse or toothpaste in water, apply this mixture onto the dirty surface, wait for 30 minutes, then scrub well with the toilet brush and rinse.

Spotless tiles

A cotton ball soaked in oxygen bleach will help you keep your tiles extra shiny and free from water spots. You can also use mouth rinse or toothpaste for this job.

Getting rid of rust

Getting rid of rust is easier than it may seem. Simply pour salt over the rusted area, rub it in, and squeeze some lemon juice on top. The lemon juice reacts with the rust to dissolve it from the surface, and the salt absorbs the rust stains. Leave the solution overnight, and wash it off in the morning.

For a clean and dust-free ceiling, use a mixture of 1 part vinegar to 1 part warm water. Dip a mop in the prepared solution, and begin cleaning your ceiling. Please bear in mind that you should wear safety glasses when doing this kind of work.

In a spray bottle, mix together 16 fl oz (500 ml) of all-purpose bleach and 2 tablespoons of dishwashing liquid. Spray this solution over the entire surface of your shower curtain, let it sit for several minutes, then rinse. Your curtain will look like new again.

While it’s more likely you’ll come across a fake perfume while browsing flea market stalls, most consumers are unaware that highly sophisticated knock-offs are also finding their way onto the shelves of large fragrance shops. Buying counterfeit perfume can not only make you feel tricked and upset, but it can also be harmful to your health. However, there are several signs that will help you to spot even the most brilliant counterfeits.

1 Check the wrapping

Authentic perfumes typically have cellophane that is quite thick and is folded flawlessly so that it can tightly adhere to the box. Improperly wrapped cellophane, on the other hand, is a telltale sign of counterfeit perfumes.

2 Flawless seams

If the plastic wrapping of the perfume box is sealed in an unattractive way (the seam is more than 5 mm wide, it is uneven, or it has excess glue on it), then the perfume isn’t authentic. The wrapping of genuine perfume always has flawless seams.
3 Paperboard

Real packaging is made from high-quality paperboard and is designed to protect the bottle from damage. That is why inside the box there is a special construction that keeps the perfume bottle in place.
The paperboard should be white, not grayish.

4 Labels and inscriptions

Look at the gold circle. The arrow pointing to the right should always be darker than the arrow that points to the left.
When buying a perfume, don’t hesitate to check the manufacturer’s website to see if the information published there matches with what is provided on the packaging. Even the smallest mismatch is a sign of a counterfeit.

5 Design

Looking through the shelves of fragrance stores, we can see perfumes that appear uncannily similar in look and smell to some of the high-end designer perfumes. This simple trick allows sneaky manufacturers to protect themselves from litigation. So don’t forget to inspect the perfume bottle carefully before you purchase it.

6 Color of the perfume

Famous brands don’t use lots of dye in their products, which is why the color of authentic perfume is usually pale. The striking ’chemical’ color of a liquid is the sign of a fake perfume.

7 Bottle cap

The cap of an original perfume should be perfectly symmetrical (unless otherwise designed in the original creation, of course).

8 Serial number

The serial number should be indicated on the bottom of the bottle (and not glued on!).
The serial number on the bottle should match the number on the bottom of the box. It should be imprinted on the base of the box or printed with ink.

9 Bottle
An authentic perfume will have a high-quality bottle with a smooth and fine surface. The bottle of a fake perfume is a bit rough and contoured.
From packaging to the bottle’s cap, every detail of an original perfume is thought out. However, if you inspect a fake perfume thoroughly, you’ll find a lot of imperfections.

Maybe you will say that it will not look good and it will not fit good with your interior but take a look the photos below and see how modern is the final result.Perfect bughet friendly DIY project that definitely wort to try.


 To make the PVC pipes look like real curtain rods, the creator simply painted them black using a spray paint designed for plastic. She also bought two unfinished finials for the ends of the curtain rods, which she installed after the paint dried
Once that was completed and all of the pipes were connected, Shelley hung her new curtain rods on the wall and added some curtains.

Dear friends probably when you have traveled and visited a bid places you have met the life performers around the center of the city. You can meet all type starting from musicians finished with illusionists.

There’s something about those sidewalk magicians that are truly mind-boggling, though. More recently, there has been an increase in a particular kind of street performance, being the levitating act in which the performer essentially mimics the levitating Yogis of India. Needless to say, this trick has left many people in awe because it seems so amazing.




It is some kind of variation of a human statue just the levitating performer seems to defy the laws of physics by floating on nothing other than a cane (or staff) making it look as if they are in a deep meditative state.


The truth behind the magic is actually much more simple than you could imagine. The street performers use a variety of hidden pieces in order to comfortably support themselves and, as a result, they appear to be levitating. Their extremely baggy clothing is what hides the platform that they use to sit on, as well as the other components of the support.7
Pretty simple tricks and seems so amazing




The power of any good magician lies in the ability to keep you in anticipation of their latest trick that few can explain.

Often it seems that the Magicians are really able to do things that defy all laws of the universe, but the fact is that relying on tricks that we can not see them. I have always wondered what the tricks is and now i solve my dilemma!



Secret 1: Sawing a person in half

We have all had the opportunity to see this trick where the magician cut a woman in half, but would not be so shocked if we know that the magician actually has two assistants



Secret 2: The torn banknote

Until recently, people wondered how David Copperfield managed to cross the bill in half, and then once again to show the same bill and be undamaged. The secret is in the pencil is cut in half and connected to the two magnets. This helps the bill to pass intact from the pencil.




Secret 3: Levitation

The secret of this trick popular among street magicians been well hidden backbone that is a continuation of the stick that held the man





Secret 4: The disappearing cup

Magician usually puts a glass on the table covered with a handkerchief and make it disappear. First, the handkerchief has sewn wire that creates the illusion that the glass is below handkerchief. Second, the glass enters in the hole that is specifically designed to fit the glass.


 


Secret 5: The human ’zig-zag’

he success of this trick to a great extent depends on the abilities of the magician’s assistant, whose main task is to be able to maintain her feet and hands in a position similar to that of an ordinary upright human posture inside a very small and oddly-shaped box.
