5 Slime Hacks! How To Get The Perfect Slime!

Hi guys!
 Today I will be sharing with you 5 super simple and smart slime hacks. I use these all the time, and I really hope you enjoy them. If you guys know some other hacks please share them in the comments below! Now, let's get started!

1.How to soften slime:

-For white glue slimes, add lotion, lemon juice, glycerin or vinegar to soften your slime.

-For clear slimes, run it under warm water or add a small bit of any clear vinegar, if you have any.

2.How to make your slime bigger:

-Add lotion a little bit at a time. This will make your slime bigger and stickier, so remember to add in activator while you are doing this.

- Add in shaving cream or foaming hand soap. Remember to add in a little bit at a time.

3.Store your activator in a old glue bottle to make it easier to pour it out.

4. Another way to make fluffy slime is to add in foaming hand-soap instead of shaving cream. This will scent your slime too!

5.When you are making your slime, add in equal parts clear glue and water so that your slime clears up in 1-2 days instead of 5-7.

5 Things To Do When You Are Bored!

Hi guys!
In today's post, I will be sharing 5 things to do when you are bored! I personally get bored sometimes during the holidays and found myself some things to do when I was bored. Without any further ado, let's get started!

1. Doodle! = You don't have do draw something in particular all the time. Grab a pen, some paper and doodle away.

2. Make a snack = Who said you need a stove to satisfy your appetite? Make a sandwich, salad or even a parfait to enjoy while you kick back and relax.

3. Watch a movie = Who would not want to watch a movie? Write some options on some popsicle sticks and pick one out of a jar!

4. Write in a journal = Vent out your feelings in a journal or diary. Draw pictures and write in different colors depending on how you feel!

5. Do a DIY! = I love doing DIYs, especially really fun stuff like slime. I think it is really satisfying to know that you made something cool all by yourself.

That's it for this post, but I hope you keep reading and enjoy my blog!

Warm Regards,
Samriddhi
