Tips and tricks to keep your next air travel safe AND comfortable

When it comes to flying cross-country or even for an hour, it is vital to keep in mind the safety concerns that will certainly save you during an airline emergency. Here are some tips and tricks that will make your next flight not just safer, but also super comfortable! Wear to breathe: Most people make the common mistake of dressing big to a flight. Reason why this might not be the best choice even though it makes you look and feel great is that if you happen to get into an airline emergency, constricting clothes will not let your skin breathe. This is a major problem when it comes to being stuck in a metal tube thousands of feet in the sky and you’re trying to calm yourself down. Always wear breathable and comfortable clothes that retain warmth and are breezy, like Cotton, Wool, and go for a fully covered shoe. The Emergency bag: Not necessarily a bag set out for emergencies, but any fanny pack or a small bag that can hold your essentials like Passport, emergency medication, emergency contact details, your wallet and your phone is a must for every individual travelling. Make it a waterproof bag for that extra protection. Pay attention to the safety instructions: It may sound boring, but inevitably, if you pay attention to the safety instructions, it could save your life and help you save someone else’ as well. So next time you feel like ignoring or zoning out during a safety instruction session, remember that your life literally might depend on those 10 mins.

Does not matter who that person is or how badly they need it, ALWAYS prioritise masking yourself before assisting someone. Remember that you can’t help someone if you’re passed out of oxygen. Keep your Emergency instructions handy: Instructions and notes about your personal health like allergies, medications and the recurring health issue that you have must be kept handy. This could save your life if you’re travelling alone and not in the state to communicate to the medical help trying to help you.

Hacks and tips that will save your life if stuck in an elevator

Ever felt like bad luck keeps following you everywhere no matter how hard you try or how fast you run? Then these hacks and tips are sure to save your life, or the lives of your loved ones if stuck in an unfortunate elevator breakdown. Stay calm: This may seem hard, but panicking in a small, enclosed environment with very less light and air supply will only worsen your situation. Remember that you will NOT run out of oxygen if stuck in an elevator since there are provisions for ventilation, and there are mechanical brakes that will automatically hold the car from plummeting down if there is any power outage. So remain calm and try to relax yourself before calling out for help. Call for help: Since you’re stuck in an elevator, the chances of you getting a good network is very less. Use the emergency phone in the elevator to call the nearest fire station or someone who is in the building to come to your rescue. Yell out for help, but keep in mind that you will get drained out of energy soon. Try to knock the elevator doors in an identifiable pattern for the people walking by to notice and call the authorities. Save energy: Do not try to Mission Impossible your way out of the elevator, rather try to conserve your energy to call out for help and bring attention to yourself. Remember, you are safe until you’re inside the elevator as help is on its way. Get out first: One common mistake that we all see in the movies and TV is that one hero refusing to get out of that dysfunctioning elevator until everyone else gets off. Never do that. It may seem plausible in the movies, but in reality, if someone asks you to get out of that metal box, you blindly follow their instructions. Arguing and walking around the elevator might possibly weaken the shaft and cost the expense of time and even lives. So if someone offers you a hand to help you out, you take it before helping others. Reach out to the nearest medical facility: It is highly possible for people with a sensitive and weak heart to have an arrest or a severe panic attack that might lead to some other complications. Getting stuck in an elevator is very stressful to the mind and the body. So it is always recommended to get yourself checked out at the earliest to ensure your fitment.

Simply add roasted oats, peanut butter, desiccated coconut, chia seeds, honey and chocolate chips for that extra touch of love and mix well before rolling into balls. Refrigerate for at least 30 mins before consumption for the protein ball to set. Creative smoothies for Milkshakes Get creative with your basic pantry ingredients and whip up your own smoothies with a good amount of ice to make up for your milkshake cravings! One of the great things about home-made smoothies is that the sky’s the limit for all the different smoothies you can make and become the smoothie master!
