How to Store Leftover Wine

I have a low tolerance to alcohol, but I like wine. I usually buy a bottle of wine and only drink a glass of wine. For the reason, I need to save leftover wine. Actually, after wine is opened, it is better to drink a whole bottle of wine because wine left goes bad. Leftover wine should be drunk as soon as possible because its scent and flavor are ruined compared to those of the first open wine.

If you want the unfinished wine to store, follow the steps below. Here is how to store leftover wine.
1. Re-cork and lay the wine on the side in order to prevent oxidization and spoilage of it; if the cork of wine is wet, it blocks oxygen penetration. However, if you store the wine upright, the cork is contracted and the wine absorbs the outside air. Finally, the wine is oxidized fast.  If you have a wine stopper, use it. However, it also doesn't prevent oxidization of wine completely.

2. Keep the wine in a dark place. However, if it is possible, avoid storing in a refrigerator; wine is sensitive to sunlight and vibration. Whenever the refrigerator is opened, the vibration is transferred to a bottle of wine. 

3. If you have a small bottle, transfer leftover wine to it. It will help oxidization of wine slow down because of minimized airspace.
You can use leftover wine in a different way instead of drinking. When you cook fish or meat, add the wine. It is helpful in removing bad smell. Otherwise, when you take a bath, pour a cup of the leftover wine in a bathtub. It promotes the circulation of the blood.

How to Calculate Electricity Usage


I had never cared about how to calculate electricity usage. One day, after getting my electricity bill, I was so surprised that I couldn't believe my eyes; it was too high.

Maybe some people have had such an experience like me. If you understand a way to calculate the usage, you can efficiently use electricity and reduce electricity usage.   

Here is a way to calculate electric power in watts.
  1. Check out the home appliances you have.
  2. Pay attention to the yellow EnergyGuide label; you can see rated power.
  3. Write down the rated power and make a list.
  4.  Multiply the rated power, hours daily using, and 30 days, and you will get monthly electricity usage. For example, if an home appliance has a wattage of 1200 and you use 1 hour every day, the way to calculate is to be 1200 X 1 X 30 = 36kWh.

    If you see amperes of an appliance instead of wattage, convert amps to watts. Here is a formula for it:
    Watts = Volts x Amps

I link a website for a free electricity usage calculator: http://www.electricity-usage.com/Electricity-Usage-Calculator.aspx

How to Reuse Coffee Grounds

Coffee is one of my favorite beverages. Drinking a cup of coffee, I start my daily routine. After brewing coffee, I threw away coffee grounds. One day, I wanted to reuse them for other purposes because they are useful in life.

I put them in a refrigerator to remove a bad smell. They really work. Coffee grounds are a marvelous natural deodorizer. Therefore, place them in a refrigerator, a closet, shoes, a trash can, or a car. They also remove moisture.

In addition, coffee grounds can serve as an astonishing body scrub, face scrub, or foot scrub. When you wash your face or take a shower, add the coffee grounds with facial cleanser or your body cleanser. They help your dead skin cells remove.

Furthermore, used coffee grounds are effective in cutting grease from a frying pan. Sprinkle coffee grounds on the frying pan and then clean it up with hot water by a dish sponge.

However, the most important thing to recycle coffee grounds is to dry them off completely because wet coffee grounds make mold grow. If you have thrown out coffee grounds so far, why don’t you try to reuse them?

How to Unclog a Bathtub Drain


While I was taking a shower yesterday, water suddenly didn't go down. It was terrible. However, I couldn't stop taking a shower. After my shower, water in a bathtub was almost full. I had never experienced before. I didn't know how to unclog a drain. I read others’ experiences online. Some of them recommended using Drano, a drain clog remover.

The way to use it is simple. First, pour it down a clogged drain. After 15 or 30 minutes, flush hot water. I followed the steps, but it didn't work. I was so embarrassed as to give up clearing the drain; I thought that I would ask a supervisor to unclog the drain the next day.

However, I wanted to try again in a different way before asking him. The way was to remove the two screws on the overflow plate with a bathtub trip lever, to take out a rod, and then to clean inside the drain. When I took out the rod, water in the bathtub suddenly ran well. I was surprised but happy. I made it. The solution was much simpler than I expected. I shouldn't have bought Drano.

 If you have the same problem like me, try my way.

How to Lose Belly Fat without Exercise


Many people have tried to get rid of their weight at least one time in life. Maybe to lose the fat on their stomach on a diet is the most difficult part; it takes a long time and needs patience to do so. Steady exercise is also not easy for busy people. Because of this, some of them break their diet.

Here is how to reduce belly fat without exercise for such dieters.
  1. Try abdominal breathing about 30 minutes or 1 hour every day; inhaling through the nose slowly, make the belly inflate fully. After then, deflating the dilated belly little by little, exhale through the nose slowly.

  2. Drink warm water instead of cold water; the hot water breaks down fats. The warm water helps blood circulation stimulate because the water makes the internal organs warm by speeding up metabolism.

    3.   Do abdominal massage every day while you take a shower or apply body lotion after your shower. Applying a strain and turning clockwise from the navel, massage the abdomen with fingertips. The massage helps visceral function improve. It is also good for constipation. 

The strength of these ways is easy to practice regardless of time and a place. If you are on a diet or if you don’t have enough time to exercise, try these simple things, enjoying.

How to Minimize All Open Windows to View the Desktop Faster


Using a computer, I often use “Windows Key + D,” which is a shortcut in the Window operating system; the shortcut shows the desktop, minimizing all open programs at the same time. In multitasking, it is really helpful.

“Windows Key + M” also has the same effect. However, there is the difference between “Windows key + D” and “Windows key + M.” If you press “Windows key + D” again, it shows all your previous restored windows. However, “Windows key + M does not. 

These shortcuts will help you when you especially use Windows 8. I don't prefer Windows 8. Nevertheless, when I should use it, such shortcuts make me happy. Maybe I will talk about other hot keys later.

How to Reduce One Hundred Million Germs in the Bathroom


Most of people go to the bathroom when they get up in the morning. The bathroom is closely related with human beings because they often use it every day, such as taking a shower, washing their face or hands, brushing their teeth, or relieving nature. Nevertheless, the majority of people seriously don’t think about germs in the bathroom. Even if it looks clean, there are a lot of germs in it; they are invisible to the naked eye.

Many people are likely to flush a toilet, opening the lid of it. It is a terrible habit. According to a university’s study in the United States, there is the difference between closing and opening the lid of a toilet bowl when people flush the toilet. When the lid is closed, bacteria breed about one million. However, when it is opened, bacteria propagate about one hundred million. The reason is that water drops from the toilet bowl splash to the maximum 6m while people flush the toilet opened; dozens of germs from feces spread in the air. The bacteria go into towels or tooth brushes in the bathroom.  It is horrible.

Because of this, you should put towels out of the bathroom and keep tooth brushes away from the toilet.  In addition, you should clean the toilet with disinfectant or chlorine bleach every day. If you clean only using water, germs can’t be removed. Furthermore, you should not completely close the door of the bathroom and always open half door in order to air out. Finally, you should always keep the lid of the toilet close even though nobody uses it.

How to Reduce the Inside Car Temperature Temporarily


These days, it is hot. Most drivers have a feeling about what their car is like an oven in especially summer when they open the car door. Many drivers tend to turn on the air conditioner to avoid such heat once they get in the car. 

Here is a solution of which the temperature lowers without turning on the air conditioner right away.
  1. Roll down a window in the passenger seat; the other windows should be closed.
  2. Repeatedly open and close the car door of the driver’s seat 5 or 6 times. This causes inside heat to push outside by incoming air when the opposite car door is closed. You should follow the process. If you lower the other windows in order to decrease the interior temperature fast, it doesn't work.
