WASH IT WEDNESDAY Avoiding (And Fixing) Dingy Whites [Photos of brightening dingy white pillows.]( Use these tips to prevent your white fabrics from becoming dull or dingy over time. White clothes or linens taking on a gray or yellow tinge over time may be a common laundry problem, but that doesn’t mean it’s unavoidable or unfixable. Here we’ll explore how to prevent your whites from getting discolored over time, and how to fix dingy whites and restore their brightness. To avoid dingy whites, wash them with other whites or light colors to avoid color transfer. You should also use the warmest water the fabrics allow, and the recommended amount of laundry detergent for your load size and soil level. (Dingy whites can be a product of detergent overdose, as lingering residues often attract dirt.) To restore dingy whites to their former brightness, try my [“miracle” laundry whitening solution](. I’ve used it to restore yellowed bed pillows, dingy lace tablecloths, and more to great effect. If nothing else you’ve tried has seemed to make much of a difference, give this treatment a try! BEAUTY Apply Skincare Products In The Right Order [Photos of Jillee applying skincare products.]( With skincare, order matters! Here’s how to apply your products to get the most out of them. If you apply two or more skincare products in a row at any point in your daily routine, it’s important to know how to layer them properly to get the benefits they offer. When applying skincare products, start with the one that’s thinnest in consistency, then work your way up to the thickest. Thicker products (like creams or ointments) will help to seal in the thinner products (like serums or toners) you’ve layered underneath them, maximizing the effectiveness of all the products you’ve applied. Conversely, if you tried to apply a light hydrating serum over a thick moisturizing cream, it would have a difficult time getting past the cream in order to get absorbed by your skin. So just remember to go from thinnest to thickest to get the best results! WHAT IN THE WORLD WIDE WEB Doodling For Science [A GIF of someone drawing a bee while playing Quick, Draw!]( Is it a tool used to advance the learning of artificial intelligence, or a silly online drawing game? [Quick, Draw!]( is actually a little bit of both, and it’s as fun to play as it is interesting to learn about. When you click “Let’s draw!”, you’ll be given a word to draw. While you work, a neural network—a machine that learns by analyzing data—will attempt to guess what you’re drawing. The machine is a pretty good guesser to begin with, but it also gets smarter every time you play. Give it a try if you're in need of a fun distraction (or if you're passionate about contributing to advancements in artificial intelligence!)
