Sometimes, you may think an outfit is ruined due to stain or odour; these tips will help you fix your clothes.

Stop your sweaters from shedding by sticking them in the freezer overnight

If you have a cashmere or wool sweater that won’t stop shedding, toss it in the freezer before each wear.
Toss your jeans in a plastic bag and stick them in the freezer at night to remove bad odours.

The freezer will kill most of the odour-causing bacteria, and you don’t have to worry about the dye in your denim fading from overzealous washing.

Erase unsightly armpit stains with lemon juice or baking soda
Scrub out the stains with a mixture of lemon juice and water. For tough armpit stains, try rubbing a paste of baking soda and water on the stain, letting it sit for a few minutes, and then rinsing it off before throwing it in the wash.

Remove deodorant marks with the foam cover of a dry clean hanger
Rubbing the spot with a pair of light-wash jeans works well too (the dye from dark jeans might transfer onto the fabric).

Spray a small amount of vodka on your clothes to eliminate strong odours
If you don’t have time to wash a shirt before wearing it again but it has a strong, lingering smell, just spray on some vodka and let it dry. The alcohol will kill odour-causing bacteria.

I don't really think that I started my musical career or it had a beginning; because as long as I remember my mom has always pushed for me to be in the choir and attend dance rehearsals and all of that. So it wasn’t like there was a point in my life where I tried music or I decided that I would do music fully.
