How to get out of duct tape

Not exactly something you'd find under the DIY section of any site, but a good trick to learn. Especially when fun and games with friends reaches a level you're not prepared to see through. Or perhaps for that date you're about to go on with that weirdo from Tinder with the creepy mustache. This could end up finding that unreasonably large corner of your mind that's dedicated to unusual animal facts and dad jokes. It's simple enough in that if you are in a situation where you actually need to free your duct taped hands, you'd probably remember this. But if you're feet are duct taped... you're on your own there. Now stop reading this and watch the video...

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY

Infused water = easy + cheap + HEALTHY

We've seen millions of photos on Instagram or Pinterest of gym junkies and health-focused individuals and their infused water. They're always smiling, fit, tan, and holding up a rainbow in a bottle/jar. We think, "naw, that's cool", double tap, and keep scrolling. No more! If you haven't tried this at home, it's time that you do. 

Nutella + eggs = GLUTEN-FREE BROWNIES

What you will need: 

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup Nutella

What you need to do:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350° F. Spray an 8″ x 8″ baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with baking paper so the ends hang over the sides.

2. Using the whisk attachment, beat the eggs in your mixer on medium-high speed for 8 minutes. The eggs should be tripled in volume and pale yellow in color, YOU MUST do this for 8 minutes to make these brownies work!

STYLING THE BASIC WHITE TEE

I'm rarely one to promote "essential" closet items - I think everyone needs to develop their own style. One person's essentials aren't necessarily another's. However, a basic white t-shirt definitely should be in everyone's closet. 


Styling a white tee sort of comes as a no-brainer, until it actually comes to you styling it (we've all been there). Sometimes the simplest, best and most effortless looks turn out the best. There are plenty of videos on YouTube by beauty gurus who give tips on the best way to style, but this short video by Chriselle Lim might just be my favourite. It's a good place to start. 

BACK TO SCHOOL: Online tutorials

We all struggle every now and then with certain areas in a course. Sometimes things just don't click, no matter how hard we try to understand the content from the lecture notes or the course textbook. Paying for a tutor on/off campus isn't always an option.

DIYs - Gender Specific?

If "DIY" and "men" are two words you don't recognise in the same sentence, then prepared to be learned hard.

I dare say that men DIY more than women, with their focus being on fixing the necessities (no offence, ladies). However, a recent decrease in male-DIYs has been noted, with some attributing it to the brushing aside of fatherly-type behaviours and an uptake of more motherly roles. Whatever the reason for this turning trend, bother genders need to get (or return) on the DIY bandwagon.
