15 quarantine home renovations from our viewers, readers -- and the photos are amazing
We asked our viewers and readers to send us photos of their DIY home renovations that were completed during quarantine, and we were absolutely stunned by the responses. Not only did we get dozens of submissions showing photos full of incredible home makeovers, but a lot of viewers submitted before-and-after pictures -- and the attention to detail and craftsmanship is truly commendable. The chandelier was already great, but the new floors and paint on the walls really bring it all together, donโt you think? When we asked for home renovation photos, we didnโt specify what kind of home! We want to see your resultsYou can still submit photos, and we want to see them.

How to cut your sonโs hair at home -- for blondes, itโs a little different
Weโve showed you how to master the at-home haircut during quarantine, but cutting hair on people who are blonde -- well, itโs a whole other rodeo. A lot of mistakes can be hidden with people who have dark hair because, well, their hair is dark. It may be noticeable to them, but the average person walking down the street probably isnโt going to notice a chunk of hair not blended in. But for people with blonde hair, however, itโs a different story. Thatโs why StyleWise style editor Jon Jordan recruited busy mom Lauren once again to give one of her sons another at-home haircut, and luckily, her second son is a blondie.

Did you know you can give yourself a full spa treatment, with ingredients found in your own home?
The spa might be closed, but that doesnโt mean you canโt treat yourself while quarantining, right? Believe it or not, there are tons of remedies for facial and hair treatments -- that you can do with ingredients that you probably already have deep in your cupboard or refrigerator. StyleWise style editor Jon Jordan had his friend Katrina show him just how easy it is to create a supple face mask and color correctors for hair with pantry item staples, such as milk, honey, and yes, even ketchup. It might seem a little strange at first, but using organic and natural ingredients like milk and honey can make a luxurious face mask -- and if your hair is damaged by the sun or chlorine from a pool, ketchup can take care of that right away. Obviously, nothing compares to a day trip to a spa, getting waited on hand and foot, but with a little imagination (and some at-home ingredients), you can turn your home into the spa of your dreams, even in quarantine.

Donโt ignore your vehicle! 5 ways to prevent auto troubles as your car sits idle
Here are five tips to avoid problems that can come up with sitting vehicles:Make sure to run your car every once in a while.

In addition to running the car, treating it with fuel stabilizer can extend the life of your carโs gas. If the gas already is bad, there are ways to remove the bad gas from the tank, according to itstillruns.com.
