Background and Identification

Self-care is an important aspect of life as it keeps us feeling happy and healthy. Personal care items help aid us in our self-care activities. There are various categories in personal care items such as hair care, skin care, shaving and hair removal, oral care and lip care. Items within these categories can be as diverse as cleansing pads, colognes, cotton swabs, cotton pads, deodorant, facial tissue, hair clippers, moisturizer, makeup, hand soap, body wash, facial cleanser, nail files/tools, perfumes, pomade, shaving cream, baby powder, toilet paper, toothpaste, facial treatments, and shampoo.

Personal care items and practices date back to ancient times when people would groom themselves for celebrations, ritual acts, and funeral acts. Early cosmetic preparations included clay, animal fat, and different colored pigments. People used deodorants, skin and hair tonics, and various ointments, all derived from milk, flour, yeast, honey, clay, and various oils. Although these items have existed for centuries, they have evolved to better fit the needs of each era.

Since these items can be essential to our everyday routines, it is important that we know how to take care of them.  Before replacing any broken items, try to figure out whether you can repair it. Being self-reliant and having the mindset to learn will not only stimulate our thinking, increase our knowledge, and save us money, but will also bring us joy and eliminate our boredom.

The ability and desire to fix your things will give you the power to save items like your hair trimmer and make it last much longer. Your new skills can help out your family and friends in lengthening the life of their items and saving money. Through repairing your own items, there are so many possibilities and opportunities for fun learning. Take some time to learn these and who knows, it could be the solution to your next bout of boredom.
