The post 3 Tips for Finding Local Spots While Traveling appeared first on styleourlife.com.
]]>Talk with Locals
The best travel guides you can find are the people who live in your destination. Engaging with locals can open doors to experiences no travel book or website can offer. Strike up conversations in cafes, markets, or while waiting in line. Most people are happy to share their favorite local hangouts, be it a cozy café or a serene park.
Use Social Media
Technology is a powerful tool for discovering local spots. Beyond the typical travel apps and websites, delve deeper into social media platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, or even TikTok. Search for hashtags related to your destination or specific interests within that place.
Wander Without a Strict Plan
While it can be helpful to have some idea of what you want to see and do, leaving room for spontaneity can lead to the most authentic experiences. Wander down side streets, explore different neighborhoods, and allow yourself to get a little lost. Sometimes, the best finds are the ones you stumble upon unexpectedly.

]]>Don’t Skip Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so don’t skip it. Enjoy the hotel buffet breakfast and fill your plate with fruits, whole-wheat breads, and eggs. Avoid bacon and pastries.
Avoid the Mini-Bar
Instead of having the sugary and salty snacks at the hotel, go to a local farmers’ market and treat yourself to fresh, in-season fruits and veggies. It’s also a great way to explore the town.
Enjoy Local Dishes
Before you head out on your trip, do some research to see the signature dishes in the country and make sure you treat yourself to them. If you’re in Italy order pasta, if you’re in Japan eat some sushi, and if you’re in France munch on a croissant. Order these foods at lunch, and for dinner have lighter meals.

Enjoy your vacation and eat that dessert. Just don’t go too crazy and keep in mind portion sizes. Also, don’t forget that alcoholic drinks have a lot of hidden calories so stay clear of ones made with juice and sip on simple cocktails or wine.

]]>Start Early
You shouldn’t be planning your holiday DIY projects last minute because it’s likely you’ll never end up finishing them. The holiday season happens to be the busiest time of the year, so it’s also a good idea not to plan any time-consuming DIY projects because you’ll struggle to set aside time to work on them.
HV Wreath Co. (@handcrafted.by.evelyne)Keep it Budget-Friendly
The holiday season comes with a long list of important expenses and your DIY project shouldn’t be one of them. Keep it as budget-friendly as possible, and avoid making things that you can easily buy for less money.
Upcycling Comes First
The easiest way to keep your holiday DIY budget-friendly is to use things that you already have at home. Figure out if there’s a way to give things that you no longer need a second life by making them a part of your holiday DIY projects. In addition to being cheaper, your DIY projects will also be more eco-friendly this way.

]]>The post Love Avocados? Here’s How to Grow a Tree at Home appeared first on styleourlife.com.
]]>Step 1: Pick a Variety and Buy Seeding
Did you know there are over 500 varieties of avocados? Hass is the most popular. After you’ve picked the variety, buy your avocado seeding from a garden or nursery.
Step 2: Figure Out When and Where to Plant It
The best time to plant your tree is during the spring between March and June in a spot that gets lots of sunlight. Keep it away from other trees, your home, and power lines because avocado trees need lots of space.
Step 3: Plant Your Avocado Tree
Make a hole three to four times the diameter of the container your seeding is in and make sure the soil is level with the top of the rootball.
Step 4: Add Mulch and Water
After you plant the tree, add a thick layer of mulch and lots of water. For the first week, water your tree every other day. Then water it once or twice a week.
Step 5: Fertelize
In order to grow and develop, your tree needs to be nourished with nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and zinc. During the first year, fertilize it three times—in the spring, summer, and fall.

]]>Octopus Haircut
If you want to make a dramatic change without cutting too much hair off, the octopus is just the haircut you need. It draws inspiration from the shag, but it’s more heavily textured than this iconic hairstyle, with longer layers noticeably peeking underneath the shorter ones.
Short Mohawk
The mullet will still be all the rage in 2022, but it was just a matter of time before it made room for another edgy, nostalgic trend. That moment is finally here, with short hair mohawk getting its chance to shine in the spotlight.
Colorful Buzzcuts
If you’re thinking of cutting your hair super-shot in 2022, the mohawk isn’t the only hairstyle that you should take into consideration. Buzzcut is going stronger than ever, but simply shaving off your hair is no longer enough. To make this hairstyle even edgier, you should consider giving colorful hair dye designs a shot. When done correctly, they’ll make your buzzcut look like a work of art.

]]>The post Cut Your Own Bangs at Home With These Tips appeared first on styleourlife.com.
]]>Use the Right Tools
Using kitchen scissors that you found in the back of your drawer isn’t going to cut it (*pun intended*). Invest in a pair of stylist scissors, a comb, some clips, and a blow dryer.
Only Cut Dry, Natural Hair
When you’re hair is wet, it’s longer. You don’t want to end up with bangs that are too short. Also if you wear your hair curly, cut it when it’s curly and if you wear your hair straight, cut it when it’s straight. This will help your bangs look most natural.
Be Cautious
Once you’ve cut too much, there’s no going back. You can always cut more, so just remember to take your time. Hair always grows back, so it’s not a huge deal if your bangs don’t turn out the way you expected them to.
Here’s a video to get you started!
