How often do you wash your towels? It’s probably not as often as you should!

Cleaning experts reveal how often you should actually wash your bath towels, hand towels, and bath mats.

The topic has recently been brought up again by creative stylist, Liz Amaya, and she’s shared the revelation to her 84.5k followers on Instagram.

The professional creative home stylist created a video explaining that towels absorb water and remain damp causing them to be perfect breeding grounds for unwanted germs.

She reveals towels should be washed every three uses, hand towels daily, and bath mats twice a week. If you use a washcloth in the shower, it should be air-dried and washed after every use.

 

This is backed up by Healthline.com which recommends the same frequency and they explain:

"Dead cells make up the top 20 layers of your skin. Some of these cells scrub off in the shower, but many of them will end up on your bath towel every day.”

"The Cleaning Institute recommends washing bath towels after three uses. If you shower every day, that means laundry almost twice a week. Regular laundry is sufficient to clean towels and remove any germs that are starting to accumulate.”

What happens if you don’t wash your towels this often? Apparently dirty towels can spread viruses, fungi, and bacteria whilst also irritating skin and possibly spreading infections. You should also never share a towel with someone you don’t know or someone who’s ill, especially during the current climate.

Anna Bey has advised her 1.1 million Youtube subscribers what words they should NEVER use if they want to be considered classy.

Anna Bey is an 'an educator in the elegant feminine empowerment space' and is basically a modern-day equivalent of Henry Higgins (cue 'the rain in spain stays mainly in the plain').

The Swedish elegance coach has revealed 7 things you should NEVER say if you want to be elegant instead of awkward.

How many of these socialite speech rules do you break?

1. Saying 'Bubbly' instead of 'Champagne'

Apparently if you're a class act, you wouldn't dare use the term 'bubbly' when referring to your favourite French wine.

Instead you should call it what it is, Champagne or Prosecco.

That means champers, booze, fizzy and shamps are all out of the question.

According to Anna, 'an elegant lady would never refer to a fine alcoholic beverage by those terms'.

2. Using abbreviations

Yep, all abbreviations are a no-go if you're trying to impress, so C U L8R arvo, PJs, uni, probs, asap and servo!

While abbreviating words won't break any formal elocution laws, it will make you sound less fancy.

'You're going to notice how your speech will simply sound so much more elevated when you use the full sentences or full names instead of shortening them,' Anna explains.

  

3. Saying 'Very' instead of 'terribly'

This one's simple: Sub out 'very' for 'terribly' and you'll start sounding like the Queen Of England in no time!

4. Asking 'Can I' instead of 'May I'

We're all guilty of this one, and when asking for something we often default to 'can I have this?' or 'can I have that?'.

For a simple elegance level-up, try saying 'may I have this?' and 'may I have that?'.

Anna explains that "'May I' is the right way to ask permission for something' and it 'technically makes more sense to say 'May'".

5. Using 'Pardon Me'

Thought saying 'pardon me' made you seem fancy AF?

Me too, but turns out it doesn't *cries*.

Instead Anna says, "In upper class circles, it's actually viewed as something quite basic and unsophisticated", so you're better off just saying 'excuse me'.

6. Describing things with 'Totally' and 'Completely'

We totally overuse these two words and are completely obsessed with throwing them into our vocabulary, however there's one simple trick to make you sound posher than you actually are.

Use the word 'quite' instead of 'totally' and 'completely'.

Eg. 'Oh darling, I'm quite famished, when will Diana be bringing out the cucumber sandwiches?'

 

7. Overusing 'Really'

Just as the word 'very' sneaks into our day-to-day speech, so does 'really'.

Anna says to reduce how often you say 'really', add 'rather' to your vocabulary.

So, are you feeling like you're ready to become My Fair Lady? Why not see if you're breaking any of the rules on things ladies never share.

nick cannon son passes away

American TV personality Nick Cannon has revealed his 5-month-old son Zen Cannon has sadly passed away in an emotional message to his fans.

The 41-year-old father announced the sad news to his audience on his own daytime talk show on December 8, 2021, with his message shared to social media and Youtube in a 9-minute video.

Cannon reveals he hadn’t revealed the news to anybody before talking in the segment but shows a picture of his youngest son, Zen Scott Cannon to his audience. 

An emotional Cannon goes on to explain Zen was born on June 23rd, 2021 and he noticed Zen had a sinus problem and a cough. He explains he always had ‘interesting breathing’ and by two months old Cannon noticed he had a ‘nice sized head’ which led him to take Zen to the doctors to get checked out.

Thinking it would be a routine process, doctors said his sinus’ were fine but discovered he had another condition that caused fluid to build up in his head. Revealing it was actually a malignant tumour, he immediately went into surgery to drain the fluid.

The Masked Singer host says on Thanksgiving, there was an ‘interesting turn’ meaning the tumour had grown a lot faster and he spent the Sunday (December 5) on a beach with the last moments with his son.

Cannon posted a heartbreaking photo to social media of his last moments with his son Zen and his wife Alyssa Scott on the beach he mentioned in his video.

Zen was Cannon’s seventh child. His first two children, twins, Monroe and Moroccan was with his marriage to Mariah Carey. He has two children with model Brittany Bell, named Golden and Powerful Queen and also twin sons, Zion and Zillion with Abby De La Rosa.
