]]>Right Book
It’s tough to get into reading if you’re picking the books that don’t interest you. Do some research and make your personal reading list of books that you can’t wait to pick up, instead of focusing on books that everyone “should” read.

No matter how packed your schedule is, you can always use 10 or 15 minutes to squeeze in some reading, whether it’s while you’re waiting in line or commuting to work.
Set Your Goals
If you’re a goal-oriented person, setting a reading goal will inspire you to stick to your plan, even if it’s something simple, like reading 10-15 pages a day.
Established Routine
Discipline will sometimes be the only thing preventing you from breaking your reading goals. That’s why it’s important to establish a routine that works for you, and set some time aside to read a chapter or two.
Different Formats
If you don’t feel like carrying a physical copy around with you, reading books on your phone or Kindle is always an option. You should also give audiobooks a shot because you can listen to them when doing chores.

]]>Make a List
Instead of packing clothes at random, make a list of things you want to take. By doing so, you’ll be able to plan your outfits in advance and avoid packing things that you don’t really need.
Bulky Clothes
The trickiest thing about traveling in the winter is finding room for bulky clothes in your suitcase, but you can save some space by wearing your heaviest clothes on the plane.
Don’t Double Pack
There’s really no need to double-pack some of your heaviest winter items, such as boots and jackets. Just pick a pair that goes well with all your outfits and there will be no need to pack another.
Re-Wearing Your Clothes
Re-wearing your clothes is also an option since it’s unlikely they’ll get dirty in a single day. You can also do your laundry along the way, just keep in mind to pack quick-drying clothes.
Strategic Packing
The way you pack can help you save up space all year long. Consider rolling your clothes and investing in packing cubes to maximize luggage space.

]]>The post How Often You Should Be Cleaning Your Makeup Brushes appeared first on styleourlife.com.
]]>How Often?
The brushes you use the most which are probably your foundation and concealer brush should be cleaned at least once a week and the other ones can be cleaned once or twice a month. The brushes that you get wet or that you use liquid products on should be kept clean because bacteria can grow on them.
What Should You Use?
Use baby shampoo to get the bristles wet. In a bowl pour a two to one ratio of water and baby shampoo and dip the bristles in the mixture and brush them from side to side in the palm of your had until they form a lather. Then rinse them in warm water. Continue doing this until the water running through your brush is clear. When the bristles are clean squeeze out the excess water with a paper towel and lay it flat on the counter with the bristles hanging over the towel.
When Should You Replace Them?
Be sure to replace your makeup brushes once a year and if you use them frequently even more often. It’s time to replace them when they’ve lost their shape, the base of the brush head is wobbly, and your bristles are falling apart.

]]>Naruto
ColourPop’s latest anime-themed collection was launched in celebration of Naruto and it does a great job channeling the energy of this show. Most of its products, including pressed powder palettes, gel liners, and glitter gels pay homage to the show’s leading trio Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, and come in their signature colors.
The Legend of Korra
ColourPop did an amazing job with their The Legend of Korra line this spring, which perfectly encapsulates the energy of this anime. The color scheme of its products, including liquid shadow sets, lip crème sets, and an eyeshadow palette, is inspired by the four elements: water, earth, fire, and air.
Sailor Moon
ColourPop’s anime-themed collections are experiencing a true boom this year, but they’re not exactly a new trend. This brand kicked things off with the Sailor Moon collection all the way back in 2020, and it became such a huge hit that they ended up restocking it again earlier this year.

]]>Mornings & Evenings
Early mornings and late evenings are generally considered the best time to work out outdoors once the summer arrives. You’ll be able to avoid intense sun exposure by working out during these times and your workout experience will be much safer and more comfortable this way.
Weather Check
Checking the weather forecast before working out outside is also a great way to avoid peak temperatures. You can even consider working out indoors in extreme heat and heading outside on the days when the forecast is predicting lower temperatures that will make your outdoor workouts more enjoyable.
Shorter Workouts
We don’t get too many hours in the day when the weather isn’t too hot for outdoor workouts. If you’re struggling to find the time to work out during mornings and evenings, consider making your workouts shorter or splitting them into smaller seasons so you wouldn’t spend too much time in the summer heat.
