I lost the nozzle on my perfume bottle. Is there any way that I can fix or get the perfume out without having a jab at myself?
Yes. I've had this happen, and there are two solutions. You can either take a nozzle from a different perfume bottle (I rinse it first it rubbing alcohol and then soak it in hot water) and fit it over the stem, or, you simply take your perfume bottle and turn it upside down on a hard surface. Tap the bottle and exposed stem onto the surface (the same way you would if you were trying to jab it onto your skin). The perfume will come out onto the the surface and you apply it to your wrists or fingers. You basically are applying it the same way you would any other type of perfume that comes in a non-spray bottle.I prefer the first method because I like misting my perfume rather than dabbing it. I keep the nozzle from empty perfume bottles as a back up. The stems on many bottles are the same size, and are interchangeable.On the left is Daisy by Marc Jacobs. On the right is Embrace by Vera Wang. Two totally different manufacturers, but the size of the nozzle is the same.
If I’m going to be stuck on a camping trip in the woods for a week, what are some great ways to maintain my personal hygiene and appearance?
If you try to maintain your appearance the way you would at home, you’re going to look silly and out-of-place. Manicured nails will get chipped, delicate clothes will get destroyed, and daily skincare products will turn into seven-layer sludge. It’s not an attractive look.If you want to look attractive outdoors, then embrace the outdoors. Stay cheerful and confident. Buy a good hat.(Is that a tan or a layer of dust?)As for hygiene, Jason Ball's answer is excellent.Clean your body with babywipes every evening (put the used ones in your trash, do not leave gross stuff in the woods for other people to find!).Don’t put on products that you can’t wash off. Deodorant and dry shampoo are useful for 2–3 days, but after that they tend to turn into sticky residues. Hats and long-sleeve shirts are better than greasy sunscreen.Clean your hands with hand sanitizer. Rinse with clean water before you touch food or contact lenses.Clean your teeth as usual. Spit the toothpaste on a rock (it’s bad for plants), and wash the brush with drinking water.Clean your butt with toilet paper or (if it’s your period or you have food poisoning) with baby wipes. My “bathroom” consists of one bag for clean paper, one bag for dirty paper, a trowel to bury solid waste (dig the hole first — keep the trowel clean) and a pair of rubber gloves so I don’t have to touch any of it.Clean your hair with… well, you mostly can’t. Either cut it short, wear a hat, or tie it into tight French braids — they stay presentable for a startlingly long time. Do not undo the braids until you are alone with a comb and a huge bottle of shampoo.Don’t focus on things you can’t fix. Leave your mirror at home.Have fun!
