Today’s youth would be completely ignorant of the meaning of a walkman, landline phone, or VHS cassette. Growing up in the era of rapid technological advancement, it has been amazing to witness how everyday household items that have been in use for years can suddenly become outdated.
I’ll admit that I had no idea what the object below was until I saw a photo of it. Beyond that, I had no idea what kind of metal tool it was. Can you identify and recollect this object?
See anything familiar? It’s a vintage oil can opener nozzle! This object appears archaic, yet it is actually rather modern, having been created in the 1980s. The spout portion of the can was used to pour oil back then, and people would use the tool to punch a hole in the top of the can. Despite having a really straightforward design, this thing is quite brilliant.
The 1980s seem like they were only yesterday to me. The 1980s seem like a lifetime ago—more than 40 years ago! Even though these openers aren’t used very often these days, I’ll wager that a lot of folks still keep one hidden in their garage among the equipment. Of course, many collect them, mechanics in particular! Therefore, it might not be a bad idea to pick up one of these cool little devices if you ever find one at an antique store or yard sale.
Tighten Facial Skin Naturally with DIY Flaxseed Cream – No More Expensive Creams!
If you’re looking for a natural way to firm your skin without breaking the bank, look no further than flaxseeds. These tiny seeds are packed with skin-loving nutrients that can help lift, tone, and rejuvenate your face – all in the comfort of your own home.
Why Flaxseeds Are a Game-Changer
Flaxseeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and antioxidants. These work together to:
- Boost collagen and elastin production
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
- Hydrate and plump the skin
- Improve skin elasticity and firmness
Regular use of flaxseed cream can naturally tighten facial skin and restore that fresh, youthful look.
How to Make Flaxseed Cream at Home
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons whole flaxseeds
- 1 cup water
- Optional: a few drops of vitamin E oil or rosewater for added benefits
Instructions:
- In a small pot, bring the water to a boil.
- Add the flaxseeds and stir continuously. After a few minutes, the water will thicken into a gel-like texture.
- Once it becomes sticky (like egg white), remove from heat and let it cool.
- Strain using a fine mesh or clean cloth to separate the seeds from the gel.
- (Optional) Add 3–4 drops of vitamin E oil or a splash of rosewater for extra hydration and preservation.
- Store the gel in a small glass container in the fridge (lasts about 5–7 days).
How to Use
- Apply a thin layer to clean skin, especially on areas that need firming (cheeks, jawline, forehead).
- Leave on for 15–20 minutes until it tightens.
- Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
- Use daily or 3–4 times a week for visible results.
Nature Over Chemicals
Why spend money on chemical-filled creams when flaxseeds can give your skin the lift it needs – naturally and gently? This simple homemade cream is effective, affordable, and full of goodness your skin will love.
