5 tips to save money on your car expenses: — PC: Chan & Naylor

Although your car is your asset, and you’ve spent lots of money on it, it can, at times, cost you a lot of money from your pockets to repair. Car expenses are not affordable for every car owner and can carry from car to car, depending on the trim.

If you own a more affordable and economic-friendly car like a Suzuki Mehran, than you are luckier than most as its parts are readily available and not very expensive to replace. However, if you own a Mira or a Yaris, then affordability can eventually become a concern.

Nonetheless, whichever can it may be that you have, there are still some ways you can save a lot of money going to waste.

Here are five tips to save money on your car expenses:

1. Opt For Used Cars

I know what your thinking here, why invest in a used car when I can buy a new one, right? Pre-loved vehicles that are available in good to the mint condition can be worth the money you’re willing to invest. These cars are affordable to buy; maintenance costs are low, parts are cost-friendly and available, and are reliable.

2. There’s No Need For Speed

What do you do when you see an empty road? You race! What do you do when you and your friends take out your modified rides to open avenues? You race! This is where a lot of the trouble begins!

Speeding puts pressure on the engine; it has to put in more effort on itself and other components. Eventually, the main parts that keep the machine going smoothly wear out before time and cause problems for the driver as well as the car itself.

Speeding also causes more fuel to burn, which means you are losing a lot of money. And if you don’t stop, it can lead to an engine breakdown, leading to a complete replacement, which can cost a very BIG sum.

3. Go To The Real Experts

In Pakistan, there are a lot of mechanics that are operating workshops. Many roads are just full of these workshops. However, only because a mechanic has one and knows their way around with a wrench doesn’t mean that they are the right person to visit.

Many mechanics are not experienced in new technology and are often replacing car parts with alternatives. It’s always a great idea to visit an experienced person who has the knowledge explicitly and caters to models like your car to ensure you’ve invested in the right place.

4. Regular Maintenance Saves Money, Doesn’t Waste It

You may think that regular visits are draining your money, but in fact, they save you from long-term costs that are more expensive. It’s better to pay a small amount of Rs. Two thousand monthly or every two months than paying Rs. 50,000 or Rs. 80,000 at a significant expense.

5. Observe Good Driving Habits

Driving is comfortable for some, for others, not so much. You may have been asked time and time again, what makes a good driver? Is it the car? The experience?

Well, the reality is no matter how good a driver is, there are times when even the best of the best make mistakes. Sometimes, enthusiasts don’t even realize when the deed has been done!

But these mistakes can put you in a lot of trouble; click on the link below to find out what they are!

10 Beauty Mistakes to Avoid For A Flawlessly Glowing Skin

By

Sidra Rizvi

Mar 30, 2022

Who doesn’t want radiantly beautiful skin that remains flawless day and night? Everyone. But is anyone willing to make an effort for it? Sadly no. When it comes to taking proper care of skin, very few actually go the extra mile. Others, we included, try to test the waters by going as far as we can before something goes wrong.

Having a proper skincare regime, eating a balanced diet, wearing sunblock before leaving, nobody has the time for that. However, if we can’t do something beneficial we shouldn’t make things worse either. Make a list of beauty mistakes to avoid and follow them religiously!

1. Beauty Mistakes to Avoid

Women in particular, whether they are professionally employed or taking care of families at home, rarely have time for themselves. And when they manage to find some, skincare is far from their minds. Sure taking a relaxing spa day sounds awesome, but it is unreasonable. Therefore for everyone interested, we are listing down the beauty mistakes made by most that have serious effects.

2. Using Hot Water

Yes, a steamy hot bath sounds lovely. But do you know it is also drying out your skin? Hot water steals moisture from your skin leaving it flaky and dry. You aren’t making soup here. Just cleaning yourself. Use warm water instead, especially when washing face. The cooler the water, the better for your skin.

3. Washing face too often

For those squeaky clean people, this is bad news. You might like the fresh feeling that comes when you wash your face, but did you know there is a limit? First, we can’t understand where you found the time to wash that much.

Second, seriously stop. Unless you live right next to the sun, washing the face more than twice a day can do more harm. People usually use cleansers, scrubs, face washes, etc and each of them has a lot of chemicals. You shouldn’t be using these so frequently.

4. Using expired beauty products

Be honest, when was the last time you checked the expiry on your cosmetics? The expiry date is there for a reason ladies. Past their prime cosmetics even creams and conditioners lose their benefits. Instead, they see an increase in the growth of bacteria. That’s just gross. We won’t judge if your products are a few month over date, but years? Yeah, that is a deal breaker.

5. Waging a war on Pimples

Yes, we agree. Pimples know when we have a huge event coming up and wait until then to pop up. But waging a war against them, poking, prodding and drying them out with creams does more damage than you realize. Yes, the people you are talking to with a pimple on your face have a hard time focusing on anything else, but this too shall pass.

6. Over-exfoliating

Exfoliation is good for the skin as it removes the layer of dead skin cells and brings out the natural glow. But we as humans love to go overboard. If you are using harsh products like loofahs, scrubs, or washcloth, you need to be extra careful. Exfoliation is to let out the healthy skin cells not your facial bones. So go easy. Once a week is good enough. Remember to moisturize afterwards.

7. Sleeping with Makeup on

This one you have heard countless times before. And yet you do it anyway. Sleeping with makeup not only ruins your pillowcase, it also suffocates your skin. That’s right your skin needs to breathe too. All those cosmetics concealers, hightlighters, foundations that made you look beautiful in the evening, will make you look dreadful the morning after. Do yourself a favor, wash your face before sleeping.

8. Sleeping on your side or stomach

It is the most comfortable position to sleep in, but for your skin, it is a nightmare. It increases the chance of you getting wrinkles. If there is no way you can sleep like humans are supposed to, spend some money and get a silk or satin pillowcase instead.

9. Working out with makeup

Yes, we want to look good at the gym, but working out with makeup is the easiest way to have your pores clogged. This leads to a build up of oil which gives a chance to pimples lying in wait to surface and ruin your day.

10. Touching face too often

Do you know where your hands have been? Yeah, no matter how many times we wash them, our hands are covered with bacteria most of the time. Touch your face and they are transferred instantly. We do it without realizing it has become that much of a habit. But it needs to stop.

11. Buying flashy beauty products without research

The beauty industry is a billion dollar industry. Millions of products are available, each promising a miracle for parts of skin you didn’t even know you had. And contrary to what you have been led to believe, you don’t need them all. Research first. Learn about your skin type. See what kind of ingredients your skin needs and try to buy products that have those. Don’t reach out for something just because someone recommended.

Which mistakes have you made? Let us know in the comments below.

Proton To Debut Its Own Electric Vehicle By 2027

Proton To Debut Its Own Electric Vehicle By 2027 — Image Source: Pakwheels

According to Edge Markets, Proton is quite likely to venture into the electric vehicle business by 2027. Since the date is still a long way to go, there isn’t much to know about Proton’s roadmap. However, Proton Edar, which is a smart vehicle and part electric car that will be released in the Malaysian market.

According to Daniel Wong who is a research analyst for Hong Leong Investment Bank, Proton will only make a “minor stepping stone” to the hybrid segment, which we take to mean mild hybrids.

Proton’s Vehicles

Proton has experimented with EVs in the past. Mild hybrid Protons have been on the radar for some time. The company showcased a 1.5 litre TGDi engine with a 48-volt belt-driven starter generator at its Centre of Excellence (COE) showroom around the same time Roslan made his announcement.

This mill is already being used in the Geely Azkarra (Boyue Pro) and Okavango (Haoyue) in the Philippines and produces 190 PS and 300 Nm. We’re expecting the engine to make its debut in a new seven-seater SUV based on the Okavango, widely tipped to be called the X90. It will likely debut next year, as Proton’s focus on addressing its supply issues and backlog of orders have pushed its product timeline back.

Proton’s Plans For The Future

Proton’s performance for 2021 was great according to analysts in the news source. The company earned a profit of RM216.6 million in Q4 2021. The sales volume also grew from 18.6% to 30.8% and the company also secured enough microchip supplies for 2023.

Proton has also expressed interest in self-driving and flying vehicles before. However, that remains to be seen, even for other car brands around the world, especially on the latter.

Meanwhile, people are sharing different reasons behind the couple’s separation. A digital creator took to social media to share his two cents about the situation.

The Reason Behind Sajal And Ahad’s Divorce

A digital content creator shared a detailed video to clear the air about a couple’s divorce. He started the video by mentioning the blame game, which both parties have resorted to after the news of separation. He, then, mentioned how some people think that it’s Sajal’s fault since she was asked to refrain from doing item songs and attend particular gatherings. And since Sajal said no, the couple ended up separating. However, he mentioned that these are all baseless rumors and many people know the actual reason behind the couple’s divorce.

He further mentioned how it would be good for Ahad Raza Mir to come forward and make his stance about the whole situation since he knows a lot of people in the media fraternity. Adding that, everyone knows he was caught in a bad situation, and this is a good time for him to come clean.

The creator concluded the video by wishing Sajal Aly the best in life and things about to come.

5 Delicious Stuffed Dates Ideas For Everyone To Enjoy

By

Dr. Rida Qamar

-

Mar 30, 2022

Dates are seriously one of the best fruits to have on hand! They are tropical fruit from palm trees that are sweet, sticky, and delicious. A lot of the dates that you’ll find in stores are dried, and many have a small pit that is very easy to remove.

Now delicious gourmet dates with different fillings and toppings have replaced the traditional ones. They do not only taste delicious but also make the perfect gift for Islamic festivities.

This sweet stuffed delicacy is the perfect snack made from simple pantry staples. They require minimal ingredients and zero cooking.

Here are five ways you can try stuffed dates.

1. Coconut Butter Date

Make a small slice in the dates, being careful to not slice them entirely in half but enough to fill them.
Spoon about 2 tsp or so of coconut butter into each date. Top with toasted coconut/chocolate chips and cinnamon/sea salt. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

2. Snickers Filled Dates

Cut a slit in the dates and remove the pit.
Fill each date with a spoonful of peanut butter.
Combine the chocolate chips into a bowl and add coconut oil. Heat until mixture is melted and stir to combine.
Take each peanut butter filled and peanut topped date and dunk it in the chocolate. You can use a toothpick to hold the date together while dipping. Pop the covered dates on parchment and place them in the fridge until the chocolate sets, about 10 minutes.

3. Dark Chocolate Covered Date

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to have a landing space for your dates once they are stuffed and dipped.
Make a cut lengthwise along the date to remove the pit and create space for stuffing.
Spoon about two teaspoons of almond butter inside each date, then place on the lined cookie sheet.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave or a double boiler for fifteen seconds.
Dip your stuffed dates halfway in the melted chocolate, place them back on the lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with sea salt.
Freeze them for about an hour or until the chocolate sets.

4. Cream Cheese Dates

Make sure that all of the dates are pitted.
Choose your cream cheese and stuff the dates with the cream cheese.
Depending on the flavour, you can top with the pistachio one in each date or simply drizzle some honey on the top.

5. Sticky Bun Stuffed Dates

In a small bowl, whisk cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
Gently fill each date with one tablespoon of the prepared filling. Garnish with chopped almonds.

Which one, out of these, would you like to try first? Let us know in the comments below.

TikTok Is Testing An Exciting New Feature & You Should Be Excited

tiktok new feature — Image Source: Breaking Latest News

TikTok appears to be on a roll. The app keeps getting better and better and this latest feature is something you may have been manifesting. This feature might make the app more famous also because it takes away the only thing that annoys people. Are you intrigued yet? Keep reading:

What Is This Feature?

TikTok is apparently testing a brand new Watch History feature. This feature will allow you to save yourself from the mental frustration of not finding the video you wanted to show your friends. Alternatively, it can also be the video whose audio you forgot to save. So far, it seems like TikTok may finally be on the verge of giving us a straightforward way to finally see all the videos we go through in a day.

Caution: this feature might make you depressed over how much time you spend on the app.

How Did It Come About?

The Social Media Consultant of the app, Matt Navarra, recently retweeted findings from Twitter. This was basically an indirect announcement because this Twitter user frequently unveils upcoming features on various social platforms. This user is the one who revealed that the “Watch History” option for Tiktok will appear under the “Content and Activity” heading of the app’s settings.

NEW! TikTok Watch History https://t.co/vxXy9L0VJb

— Matt Navarra (@MattNavarra) March 26, 2022

What Else Is Known?

So far there are not a lot of details about what the Watch History page will look like. We don’t even know how it will compile all of our previously watched videos. Many sites have reached out to the app for an official comment but have come up empty-handed.

The lack of a watch history button and while there may be a lot of hacks out there, nothing can be as convenient as that. One hack people have come up with is that you can filter your search results by videos you’ve seen. While this may be all well and good, we can not deny that it takes too much time. When we spend this much time looking for old videos, don’t we miss out on new ones?

The beloved beauty brand Dove is all set to rule over NYC. The brand has come out with something exciting and they have taken over the busiest metropolitan city to make it a thing. Have a look at what Dove is doing all over NYC and why it’s fun to keep up with:

What Is Dove Doing?

Dove has basically planned to celebrate the launch of their new Dove Ultimate Antiperspirant. This product will be available in pop-ups in select locations across Manhattan— it was all put into motion yesterday!

Dove is a personal care brand that advocates against toxic beauty standards. Its products are a household essential for many. We all know that coconut smell is to die for. They have now introduced their new Dove Ultimate Antiperspirant which offers a hydrating (and very helpful) layer to underarms.

What Is It Made With?

This new product that is all set to make a breakthrough in NYC is made with some pretty cool stuff. Water-based technology was used to ensure that it helps restore underarm skin to its best condition. Moreover, Dove’s formula contains a high concentration of glycerin. This is a powerful ingredient because it works to soothe dryness and improve texture. Get the underarms of your dreams, people!

In addition to that, this product was also made to emphasize an ultimate skincare experience. You do not have to discount hydration to remain sweat-free!

All Up In NYC

For the celebrations of this new product, Dove has planned to set up beauty fridges all over Manhattan. The purpose of the beauty fridge is to emphasize how unique the new product is. Usually, beauty fridges are used for storing premium facial skincare products.

What Does The Team Say?

The dermatologist team at Dove made some strong points. “A good antiperspirant is alcohol-free. It is non-irritating and also has ingredients that provide added skincare benefits such as moisturization,” said Dermatologist Dr. Barbra. She also added that the skin of the underarms is very delicate. It needs gentle moisturizers so that the skin barrier remains intact. That’s precisely what Dove provides.

Why Is Apple Cutting Its iPhone SE Production?

By

Dr. Rida Qamar

Mar 29, 2022

Apple is planning production cuts to an iPhone model and AirPods. Apple is scaling back production of its new budget iPhone SE due to weaker-than-expected demand, Nikkei Asia reported Monday.

The company has reportedly asked suppliers to cut production of the iPhone SE. The newly released $429 budget 5G phone, will be reduced by 2 million units from 3 million units. Which is about 20% of the initial orders, according to the publication. Apple also reduced orders for AirPods by about 10 million units for full-year 2022, according to the report.

iPhone SE Popularity And Production

The iPhone SE launched on March 18. While marketed as a budget product, the iPhone’s $429 price tag is still a surprising hike from the $399 model Apple launched in 2020.

Shanghai lockdown doesn't affect the iPhone SE production. However, the new iPhone SE demand is lower than expected (the delivery status "in stock" as one of the proofs), and I cut my shipment estimation in 2022 to 15-20M (vs. 25-30M previously).

— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) March 28, 2022

The iPhone SE isn’t as popular as Apple’s more expensive iPhones. According to Counterpoint Research, the 2020 version of the iPhone SE accounted for 12% of all iPhone sales from its launch until Q4 2021.

Several major tech companies, including Apple, halted sales in Russia following its invasion of Ukraine. The U.S., EU, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan all imposed economic sanctions on Russia for the action, disrupting the supply chain and increasing inflation risks.

Ukraine and Russia both export a high amount of nickel, platinum, rhodium, and titanium, which are critical for semiconductor manufacturing. Russia’s global exports have been limited due to sanctions from its ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukraine is understandably having a difficult time maintaining trade while it is being invaded.

Apple is also said to have asked suppliers to make 2 million fewer iPhone 13 handsets (across the entire range) than previously planned. However, this adjustment was explained by seasonal demand fluctuations and it isn’t related to the popularity and import of the equipment.

Sajal and Ahad’s news of divorce has everyone heartbroken. The young couple was the OG couple for many and their unexpected parting of ways is something many still haven’t accepted. In all of this, someone reached out to Ahad Raza Mir’s mother and her response is simply heartwarming. We need more mothers-in-law like this!

What Did She Say?

The Sahad couple got divorced just after two years of their marriage. Their marriage in Abu Dhabi took the internet by storm as both looked spectacular on their big day. Now, as the news of the divorce reaches all ears and eyes on social media, people are looking for more information.

ahad raza mir mama — Image Source: The News

A fan reached out to Samra Raza – or “Mama Mir’ as she likes to call herself. She added that the couple is going through a difficult time. She thanked the fan for the support too. To deal with the situation, she asked the fan and others to please pray for the couple. The fan account with the user ahadfan_no1 shared a screenshot of a conversation with the mother. Have a look:

Most Of The Message Is Censored

Most of the message in the screenshot has been censored to keep the couple’s privacy. These people are not new to fame as fame runs in the family. They know how to keep information behind veils. While many continue to hope the two will come back together, nothing officially has been shared about why they parted.

This latest screenshot is making rounds on social media because it is the only thing said about the divorce. The couple in question has said nothing about it yet. They did not even break the news themself. Samra Mir was also contacted because she was incredibly close to her daughter-in-law. The two always boasted of a good relationship together.

Awkward Encounters

Until the two share what happened or declare themselves that they are officially divorced, awkward encounters may continue. Recently, Ahad Raza Mir was at Dubai Expo and he surprised the crowd. What happened? Well, nothing much, people just kept chanting his ex-wife’s name in the crowd.

Generalizing Women As Bad Drivers – An Unfair Stereotype?

Mar 29, 2022

If asking about what tasks women are not good at? The consensus would be driving! It sounds pretty sexist, but that is the truth. The first thing that comes to everyone’s mind after watching someone make a mistake on the road is, “Oh, that must be a woman driving the car.” Admittedly, we all have fallen into this category, and if you don’t, then all praise to you.

Let’s not forget the number of times we tend to debate about was it a male or female driver. God forbid, if you try to correct them, there starts a considerable debate about how women are generally bad drivers, and they can’t seem to wrap their heads around the basic driving rules.

However, times have changed. Now, women are probably as capable of handling a car as the male species.

It Isn’t That Simple

What do we keep calling out women as bad drivers? And when the notion stops? As a woman myself, I have had experience with both kinds, the good and the bad. Women driving their cars like a pro and women who would bump into a most miniature speed breaker even when there isn’t any traffic on the road. But the question is whether, after dealing with all kinds of drivers, I would generalise them as good or bad? The answer is neither, and I will tell you why!

The ratio of men involved in aggressive accidents is relatively high compared to women. Give it to their aggressive behaviour and risk-taking. We never make remarks about the men driving while bypassing an accident. What we can take from this is that regardless of gender, road risks are the same, and we must take precautions and always exercise safe driving measures. There are also additional factors to consider before we over-generalize.

Then why is it such a big deal with women?

Moreover, this begs the question, why do we have an assumption about these in the first place? How did we start accepting the stereotype as a norm?

Studies have shown that men and women have different traits, which may influence their driving behavior. While driving, a woman tends to keep their eyes on the road. On the other hand, a man is expected to take calls and multi-task, not that it is advisable. But generally, women multitasking while driving is a recipe for disaster, according to one notion.

Ultimately, it isn’t easy to generalize. Men and women each have different skillsets and personality traits that contribute to their behaviour on the roads.

If you’ve ever searched in vain for that particular shade of pink or the perfect sheer glittery polish, this project is for you! By combining a ready-to-use polish base with your blend of mineral colourants, you can create your original nail polish shades in minutes! This project is a really fun way to bring DIY nail art to the next level.

How to Make Your Own Nail Polish At Home?

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Eyeshadow
Clear Nail Polish (Base Coat or Top Coat)
Cuticle Pusher
Paper Funnel (optional)

Step 1

Start by scooping your favorite color from the eyeshadow palette with the help of a cuticle pusher and grind it into finely milled powder. Then insert a small funnel into the bottle’s neck.

Step 2

Use the tip of a popsicle stick or a small scoop to add glitter or colourants to the funnel. You can stick to one colour or create your blends by mixing multiple colourants together. Add a large pinch of colour to make a sheer polish or as much as 1/4-1/2 teaspoon for a heavier, more opaque colour.

Step 3

Gently tap the bottle and funnel to drop the colorant into the bottle. Be careful not to spill the colorants or get glitter everywhere. This part can be VERY messy!

Step 4

Remove the funnel, carefully fill the bottle with a polish base, and screw the cap onto the bottle.

Step 5

Shake, and shake some more. It will take a lot of effort to mix the polish for the first time. Shake the bottle for 30-60 seconds, or until the colours are well blended into the base.

Step 6

Apply to your nails! Be sure to use a good base coat and topcoat and your custom polish. This will help make the colour last and show off your gorgeous custom polish at its best. Clear up any lingering colour from the corners and cuticles, and you are good to go.

Et voila! Now you have the most amazing DIY tip on your hands to do a manicure suited to your mood without paying a visit to the salon.
