Is it More Fuel Efficient to Drive with the Air Conditioner on or the Windows Open?

Ever wonder whether it's more fuel efficient to drive with the air conditioner on in hot weather or drive with your windows open. While running the AC system uses fuel to circulate refrigerant and power the fans, driving with your windows open creates a drag on your car's aerodynamic ability. So which is more economical for your pocketbook? Well, studies found that at speeds below 55 mph, vehicles got the same mileage from their gasoline whether they drove with windows open and the AC off, or using the AC with windows closed. However, when driving above 55 mph, it was more economical to drive with the air conditioner on and your windows closed.

Hope you enjoyed this little energy tip!

How To Have Young Looking Hands

In my recent YouTube video, I share my beauty secrets on how to have young looking hands naturally because there is so much you can do to prevent, treat, and reverse aging. Having young looking hands has always been desired by women because we don't want our hands to make us look older. The younger you start caring for your hands, the younger they will look as you age. Hands are easily prone to premature aging because they are constantly exposed to the elements including damaging UV sun exposure.   Constant hand washing can be very drying and dry skin causes wrinkles to form more easily, and the skin on our hands tends to thin with age making veins and bones more visible. With these factors working against us, it is vital that we take special care of our hands, and this means daily moisturizing and avoiding harsh cleansers. Please watch my video above for more important tips on how to have young looking hands naturally. In this video, I also discuss the latest trend of women seekin...
