Clean Up Your Look By Steaming Your Clothing
As many media sites have noted recently, everybody wants to look good this summer. For small businesses like salons and gyms who were able to make it through the past year, sales are now through the roof. It is finally time to re-engage with the world! Who can be blamed for wishing to have a better-looking, more put-together appearance to present after a year of hibernation?
This is easier said than done. For many people, a year out of the sunshine was not kind to their looks. Folks stopped exercising, while simultaneously eating and (especially) drinking more. This is not a good combination for the “new society, new me” mentality for the post-COVID world. As you make plans to visit friends you haven’t seen in many moons, there may be a self-conscious voice in your head telling you that you are too schlumpy to even bother.
You cannot let a year of regret hamper your social life. Yes, you should resume exercising and improve your self-care routine in earnest, but even if you can’t get back to pre-COVID levels by Memorial Day, the reopening of life must go on. Invest in items that can help make you more presentable, even if your appearance would still benefit from hiding under an ugly Christmas sweater. To start, make sure your clothes are in good condition.
People don’t really iron anymore, and they definitely don’t iron when they travel. But that does not mean you should go around wearing wrinkled clothing. You need all the help you can get. A portable garment steamer will do the trick. Using it will give your clothes an ironed look without requiring any of the work of ironing. Since clothes are prone to wrinkling in your suitcase when you travel, make sure to bring a garment steamer along on any upcoming trips.
At under $30, this Hilife steamer is a great value. Think about it: Steaming your clothes will instantly make anything you put on appear to be more expensive. Lasting 15 minutes, it is the right capacity to get your entire outfit “pressed,” while also being small enough to easily take on the road.
A garment steamer is a must-have for anyone nervous about being around other people again. Not only will you look better; you will feel better as well. This is exactly what you need to go out and meet the world again on your own terms.
