Preparing Your Home Ready for the Winter

It may still be August, but it won’t be long until the days start to become shorter and the nights longer as the cold weather starts to creep back around. Even though here in the UK we don’t often get a lot of warm weather, the winter months can be significantly colder, with frozen pipes and draughts becoming commonplace for many homeowners. Thankfully, we’re at a time of year that’s perfect for preparing your home to be able to withstand the upcoming colder months, and there are many simple things that you can do to ensure that your house is a cosy haven of warmth, even on the coldest winter days.

Upgrade Your Heating

Upgrading your heating system is definitely a good idea when it comes to preparing your home for the winter, especially if your boiler, heaters and radiators are looking a bit worse for wear and haven’t been updated in a while. Upgrading your heating system not only means that you’ll be warmer at home during the winter months, it can also mean that you’ll save money on your energy bills over the winter due to a higher level of energy efficiency. For radiators, heated towel rails and more, see warmrooms.co.uk.

Check Your Insulation

Since around a quarter of the heat in your home is lost through the roof, having good loft and wall cavity insulation when the winter months come around is absolutely vital. If your home already has insulation, it’s a good idea to have it checked before the winter to make sure that it is not showing signs of wear and tear or causing any unnecessary heat to be lost. Insulation in the walls and around the pipes in your home is also absolutely vital during the winter as this will help to prevent any pipes from becoming frozen and bursting during colder weather.

Clean Your Gutters

One of the biggest causes of leaks during the winter months is clogged gutters. As the summer starts to draw to a close, trees will begin to shed their leaves leaving gutters and drainpipes filled up with loose foliage. Once the blockage starts to become too much, water begins to pool, backing up into the guttering and leaking into the roof and down the walls of the house. Before the winter sets in, having your gutters thoroughly cleaned to ensure that they are free of debris is essential to prevent damage.

Draught-Proof

There’s nothing worse than a chilly draught when you’re trying to relax in your heated home during the winter, so make sure that you’ve checked the edges of your windows and doors for any cracks that draughts could sneak through. You can either get draught excluders or adhesive draught slips to cover the cracks and keep the cold air outside where it belongs, keeping you nice and warm and reducing the amount of energy escaping from your home.

It may not be winter yet, but it’s never too early to start making sure your home is fully prepared to be nice and warm when it gets cold outside.

How to make perfect eyebrows

 Sprancenele mele sunt destul de rare si oricat am incercat sa le fac frumoase si dese nu am reusit. Chiar daca am un machiaj reusit, daca sprancele nu sunt accentuate, ceva lipseste si pare in neregula per total. Fardurile de sprancene nu sunt intocmai preferatele mele desi stiu ca multe fete le prefera. Astazi vreau sa va arat un gel pentru sprancene achizitionat recent, care-mi place foarte mult : DipBrow gel de la Anastasia Beverly Hills. Este un gel de sprancene pigmentat, are acoperire buna, eu aplic putin produs si pentru mine este suficient, este rezistent la apa - dupa cateva minute de la aplicare nu se mai ia usor, nu curge,  si ofera un aspect natural si mat sprancenelor. Vine in varianta mini si full size, eu am luat varianta mini si il folosesc de cateva luni, insa nu zilnic. Dar este genul de produs care rezista destul de mult. Periuta face aplicarea foarte usoara, poti chiar sa dai putin forma sprancenelor cu ea. Dar se poate achiziona separat orice perie de sprancene

Atmosfera cozy de toamna la tine acasa cu aromaterapie

 Hello girls, Acum ca vara a trecut si toamna si-a facut simtita prezenta, imi petrec majoritatea timpului in casa, in living, unde mi-am pus si biroul. Petrecand atat de mult timp acasa de un an, este foarte important pentru mine ca sa am mereu casa ordonata, aranjata, primitoare unde sa ma pot simti relaxata. Toamna te ademeneste sa bei o cana buna de ceai, sa iei un pulover gros si confortabil, sa te simti cozy intr-o atmosfera placuta si imbietoare de toamna. Daca ai la cuptor si o prajitura cu mere si scortisoara, tabloul perfect de toamna este acasa. Seara imi place sa aprind lumanari parfumate , sa stau pe canapea cu cana de ceai si sa ma uit la un serial. Mirosul imbietor al lumanarilor Yankee candle ma face sa fiu relaxata, intr-un mediu linistitor cu un parfum imbietor. Yankee candle este brandul meu preferat de lumanari parfumate, colectiile lor de Craciun sunt mereu apreciate si il consider un cadou potrivit pentru cei care doresc sa aiba o casa parfumata. Momentan este c

Top Rujuri mate

  Rujurile sunt nelipsite din trusa de cosmetice a oricarei femei, stiu de cand eram mica ca si mama si bunica aveau mereu in geanta cate un ruj .  Acum sunt atatea variante, culori, texturi de rujuri din care poti alege incat e imposibil sa spui ca le-ai incercat pe toate si ca ai gasit cel mai bun ruj. Insa cu siguranta poti gasi produsele care tie ti se potrivesc cel mai bine si la care sa te reintorci mereu. Asa sunt eu cu rujurile MAC Cosmetics Matte Lipstick , mereu ma intorc la ele si am macar unul in trusa de machiaj. Nuantele mele preferate sunt cele de roz si rosu. Rujurile Matte Lipstick sunt cu siguranta deosebite, au o textura cremoasa, sunt intens pigmentate, au un finisat mat si sunt rezistente pe buze. Daca ai mai incercat produse MAC, stii de calitatea si rezistenta produselor lor si rujurile acestea fac cinste brandului. Pretul produsului nu este exagerat insa nu este nici cel mai accesibil pentru a putea cumpara multe nuante deodata, de asta iti recomand sa alegi o n
