How to Install an eSIM On Your Windows Laptop

How to Use an eSIM to Get Cellular Data Connection On Laptop Computers

I just bought my Surface Go 3 LTE laptop/tablet and one of its best features is the ability to use a physical SIM or eSIM to connect to cellular network and provide Internet. This feature is a life saver when you travel and especially if you are a content creator.

What I noticed in many countries is that the hotel WiFi was so slow, it was unusable except for checking email and light browsing. I was pulling my hair out using it, as I was getting behind updating my YouTube and I was unable to do any work.

An LTE laptop is capable of using a local SIM in your destination country or you can even install an eSIM before leaving for the trip in your own country. Installing an eSIM provides you Internet access right away when you land and you don’t need to search for a local SIM card. The disadvantage of this is an eSIM is always more expensive than the local SIM.

Installing an eSIM or physical SIM is not difficult at all. Search on your 4G or 5G LTE laptop and go to Cellular Settings to setup your eSIM or SIM.

There are many eSIM providers. Your laptop might even have some pre-installed by Microsoft, but I noticed their rates are horrible. The one I use is called Airalo (I am not affiliated) and I have used and tested them in several countries and it always worked for me and it is also by far the cheapest provider I came across. Regardless of which provider you go with, always do your research first for an eSIM for your destination country.

I have a video showing the full step-by-step eSIM installation process on a Windows Laptop here.

What You Must Check Before Taking A Rental Car

Simple Checks You Should Perform Before Driving Off A Rental Car | Best Car Rental Tips

Don’t rush to leave the rental car station once you get the keys. Spending 10 more minutes to do these simple checks will save you a lot of hassle and time.

I will go over some basic checks for you in this article. If you think I missed something, definitely add it to your list next time you rent a car and drive off the parking lot.

Vehicle Registration and Insurance Papers – These should be in the glove compartment, but don’t assume they are always there. Check and make sure your rental car has all the required documents you need.

Tire Pressure and Flat Tire Tool Kit - Check the tire pressure by kicking them and also make sure the trunk has a flat tire tool kit such as a jack, a wrench, and a fully-inflated spare tire. Also, ask the associate what their policy is in case of a flat tire. Some rental companies don’t allow customers to change a flat tire (you have to call their provided emergency # in that case) and some want you to try changing the tire first before calling for help.

Also, get the emergency # to call from the associate and save it on your phone.

Check & Record for Damages – Check the whole car inside and outside, including the trunk for any damages and scratches. Better yet, video (using your phone) the car as proof, which will be hard to dispute in the case of the rental company blaming you for something which was done by the previous renter. This simple video trick helped me a lot when I discovered scratches after exiting the parking lot and didn’t notice it before.

Gas Metre (Fuel Gauge) – Take a picture of the gas metre, as you will need to refuel it to the same point it was when you took the car.

A bonus tip is to check where the gas tank release button is located. It happened to me in the past that I couldn’t find the release button, as it was hidden.

How a Shampoo Bar Can Help Save The Planet

How to Go Green and Save the Environment Using a Bar Shampoo

The staggering amount of plastic waste we create every year just from our empty shampoo, conditioner, and body wash containers is incomprehensible. I was able to find a number on this – each year 550 million plastic bottles go to landfills from washing our hair.

The tangible solution to get rid of empty bottles would be using anything that doesn’t need plastic bottles, such as bar soap, shampoo bars, conditioner bars, and so on. However, I was not able find products of this nature manufactured by big brands on a massive scale.

Sure enough, I came across some small brands on Amazon and other online stores every once in a while, but it was too expensive and of questionable quality, which prohibited me from trying those.

However, this all changed when I found a big manufacturer that started a line of shampoo bar products that are not overpriced and accessible at physical stores. Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo Bar is the first such product I came across at a local drug store and it caught my attention.

I haven’t found any bar conditioner by Garnier, but I am hoping it will be coming shortly. I am expecting other big brand names will do the same and come up with more bar shampoo and conditioner. Having more brands mass producing them will make them more accessible and affordable.

Another big advantage you get from bar shampoo and conditioner is that when you travel you can toss it in your carry on and don’t need to worry about strict liquid guidelines. I am gradually moving from liquid shampoo and conditioner to bar shampoo and conditioner and will keep an eye out for more by big brand names.

Beginner's Guide to Start Cold Showers | How to Take Cold Showers

How to Trick Your Brain to Take Cold Showers Every Day | How to Take Cold Showers

I never though this is something I would be doing. Taking cold showers is no fun. Your body is leaving its comfort zone and your brain is sending signals to reject it, so it takes courage and a willingness to embrace cold showers.

I felt terrible during my first week when I started taking cold showers. Each day my mind told me this should be my last day, but I kept going and going. Now, after a month I discovered the benefits of cold showers from my own experience, which surpassed all my tears and pain. Now I can't or won't go back to a regular, comfortable warm shower.

My simple trick can make anyone get used to cold showers and that’s what I will talk about today. A note of precaution is that before you start taking cold showers, please consult your doctor or a medical professional, as cold showers are not for everyone.

The way I do cold showers is that I start with the comfort level, which is a mixture of 50/50 hot and cold water. This is how people most take regular showers. Then I gradually turn towards to colder levels. I finish shampooing or soaping up in cold water, but too cold.

Then my last 2 minutes would be in extremely cold water. To tell you the truth, this will not feel like fun. Don’t be afraid to scream. I scream when my water is at the maximum cold level, as it helps. But after finishing my shower, the refreshing feeling is hard to describe. I won’t go back to hot showers anymore. I am already seeing the benefits from cold showers after only one month.

I have a video about my cold shower experience, which you can find in the link below:
