This may not be a gadgetry post however, with teh coldest winter since records began in the UK,  here are some helpful hints that could make your winters easier to deal with whilst driving…

Keep your headlights clear with car wax!
Just wipe ordinary car wax on your headlights. It contains special water repellents that will prevent that messy mixture from accumulating on your lights – lasts 6 weeks.

Squeak-proof your wipers with rubbing alcohol!
Wipe the wipers with a cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol or ammonia. This one trick can make badly streaking & squeaking wipers change to near perfect silence & clarity.

Ice-proof your windows with vinegar!
Frost on it’s way? Just fill a spray bottle with three parts vinegar to one part water & spritz it on all your windows at night. In the morning, they’ll be clear of icy mess. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which raises the melting point of water—preventing water from freezing!

Prevent car doors from freezing shut with cooking spray!
Spritz cooking oil on the rubber seals around car doors & rub it in with a paper towel. The cooking spray prevents water from melting into the rubber.

Fog-proof your windshield with shaving cream!
Spray some shaving cream on the inside of your windshield & wipe if off with paper towels. Shaving cream has many of the same ingredients found in commercial defoggers.

De-ice your lock in seconds with hand sanitizer!
Just put some hand sanitizer gel on the key & the lock & the problems solved!

Hope these hints help even just one time.

Feeling abit below budget or want to have a classic serving tray. Some guys at apartmenttheorapy came up with a detailed instructions how to make one, according to them they werre inspired by;

While visiting a friend who was in the process of gutting her kitchen, we noticed a pile of cabinet doors stacked in the corner. Before leaving, we grabbed a couple for a potential DIY project. After researching some ideas on Crafty Nest, we thought a serving tray would be the perfect transformation for the old door.

Really all you need to tackle this project yourself is the hardware (the repurposed cupboard door and some drawer handles), sandpaper, paint, and a little bit of time on your hands. Beyond that, you’re imagination’s the limit in terms of how you want it to look.
