The WHO Seven Step Hand Wash

thewitchjournal:

Feeling down? Cleaning is definitely a self care thing for me, here are some good and overlooked cleaning practices as well as a few little things that might make you feel better :

• delete unused bookmarks on your web browsers

• delete untouched social media accounts

• unsubscribe to old email subscriptions

• organize your closet

• organize your food - throw out old and expired stuff and donate what you don’t want to eat!

• unfollow social media accounts that don’t make you feel 100% good

• change the color themes of your web browser or computer system

• change your desktop background or phone wallpaper

• vacuum 3 things you haven’t vacuumed in a while (windowsills, corners, behind the toilet)

• put your laundry away !!!

• reorganize your desktop shortcuts

• uninstall old computer programs

• change that lightbulb you’ve been ignoring for weeks

• organize jewelry and accessories

• sort your junk drawers and find a place for (almost) everything

• if you smoke/have pets/have a lot of people in your house, use one of those magic eraser sponges and wipe off the white moldings/ walls, you’ll be blown away by how much cleaner it looks

• give 3 big yawns

• deep clean your body- eat a healthy meal, shave if you like to, put on lotion and a face mask, pluck your eyebrows, comb your hair

• throw out empty bottles in the shower

• I know you yawned earlier just from reading the word

• throw out the old razor that’s been sitting in your shower for too long

• open a new bar of soap

• hang up a piece of art (and maybe make it yourself) even if you think it’s bad

• scribble a whole pen out of ink

• get rid of all the dried up drawing and writing utensils in your drawer

• unfold the pages of an old book

• dust off your vents and fans, open a window, fresh air is important

I love you, and every little thing you do is still a victory and a step in the right direction ❤️

Thank you for staying with me!

This is a tough time for many people. At the moment in my country there are
7918 confirmed infections and 314 deaths.

Remember to always make your health a priority.

I want to share with you some less waste tips that may help you these days.

• Let’s start with masks - they are not difficult to sew at home (or even make without sewing!) and it is obvious that having a reusable one is better than using lots of disposable ones. After use you can disinfect it with boiling water or just put it into laundry ;) I recommend you having a few face masks.

• Hand sanitizer - the world went crazy about it. Try making it yourself, it is easy! Ingredients: 

1. 12 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol 
2. 5 tablespoons of aloe vera and 3 tablespoons of glycerin which will prevent your skin from drying out and provide extra protection
3. You can also add some drops of essential oil;)

• Most of people started to care about cleaning much more due to the pandemic. Using homemade cleaning products is a goal that I still have not achieved yet. If you feel ready to start using them, go for it, look for the recipes (for example on pinterest) and make your own natural cleaning supplies!

• I know that gloves are required to be worn now, but to be honest I do not believe that using disposable gloves will save us and from my point of view we are just making a huge waste with this plastic or rubber accessories. But…

• please,wash your hands after touching any questionable surface. It is crucial to keep you and others save.

• If you are storing food, remember that using aluminium or metal cans is probably a better choice than choosing plastic or glass due to recycling. Of course you can reuse most of packaging. But again, make yourself comfortable and buy what you need to survive.

• Buy fruit and vegetables that stay fresh for a long time as: apples, potatoes and sweet potatoes, onions, garlic, apples, carrots, celery, lemons, beetroots, cabbages, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower. You can also freeze fruits, I often freeze my bananas ;)

• Grow your own food and make your own bread, cookies, muesli, pasta etc. ;)

I hope you’re doing great and have everything you need. I wish you good heath! Greetings!

So, I have a hakama that I’ve been wanting to wash for forever now (since it beginning to smell groidy), but I’m not sure what is the best method for washing it. One method I read about entailed talked about using a bath tub, some vinegar, and woolite (or some other kind of fabric softener), but I have no bath tub in my apartment - just a shower that only fits one person. Could I just throw my hakama in the washer and use something like Tide (something without bleach) and refold the pleats? Or is there a better method?

Any tips and suggestions are appreciated! If it helps, it’s one of the cheeper hakama that you get off of e-bogu (so it’s really flimsy and hard to fold the pleats perfectly -.-)

Quick time lapse of me cleaning my desk.

Nothing like that weekend cleaning

Jet wash fun!
