Nowadays, home remedies and life hacks are everywhere online. While these tips were once passed down through generations, today they are widely accessible thanks to the internet.
We strive to provide engaging and educational articles that keep our readers engaged. We’ve covered a number of unique topics, but attaching a clothespin to a shower head is something new for us.
At first I was skeptical about this unconventional practice. My first thought was: “Why would anyone do this?” But as time often proves, my initial doubts were dispelled by patience and experience.
Attaching a clothespin to your shower head actually serves a practical purpose. If you find a clothespin there, it’s a sign of your partner’s ingenuity and worth appreciating.
While clothespins are typically used to hang clothes, they can also play another role in freshening up your bathroom.
Here’s how to try it: Take a wooden clothespin and a bottle of essential oil, such as eucalyptus, lavender or peppermint. Dip the clothespin in the oil and attach it to your shower head or curtain.
As you begin your shower, the steam will disperse the scent of the oil-soaked clothespin, adding a pleasant aroma to your shower experience. Try it out and let us know how it works for you. It’s amazing how simple hacks using everyday items can make a huge difference.
Neglected dog arrived at shelter nearly starved to death — now he’s living his best life
Some animals arrive at shelters in heartbreaking condition, but with a little love their lives can totally turn around.
That was the case for one neglected dog, who was found nearly starving to death, but in the weeks since has been making incredible strides.
In September, the South Suburban Humane Society, in Illinois, took in a severely emaciated dog named Pumpkin. He was first found by a local resident who thought he was dying and brought him to the police.
Emily Klehm, CEO of the South Suburban Humane Society, told Newsweek that while they rescue many dogs, Pumpkin’s was an “extreme case” that left them speechless. “He was severely emaciated and unable to walk,” she said.
Photos show how unbelievably thin the dog was — it’s a miracle he survived at all.
Vets administered fluids and shaved his matted fur. Despite the rough start, he started to perk up and went into foster care with one of the shelter employees.
“Thankfully, we got him into foster care, where he is starting to improve and stand on his own again,” the shelter wrote on Facebook. “His journey is still long, but we are incredibly proud of him so far.”
Updates from the shelter show the remarkable improvement Pumpkin has made in just a short time. While he was unable to stand when they first found him, he can now walk around the yard on his own, wagging his tail.
“This little man is so strong and getting better every single day,” the shelter wrote.
Though he’s still visibly thin, he has been slowly regaining weight. “This little man is progressing, and we cannot wait to see how much more he continues to improve!” South Suburban Humane Society wrote.
Pumpkin’s backstory is still unclear, but the shelter says he will be placed up for adoption once he gets medical clearance.
“Pumpkin will need a home that understands that he was severely neglected,” Klehm told Newsweek. “He doesn’t know how to be a dog, so everything from leash walking to toys are all new experiences for him. An experienced dog family would be best.”
In the meantime, he’s doing well and loves his foster home.
It’s heartbreaking that Pumpkin was neglected for so long, but we’re so glad he’s doing well and regaining weight — we hope he finds a forever home soon when he’s ready!
