Winter Fashion Hacks Everyone Should Know!

With winter approaching and the cold weather already at our doorsteps, Max Agency has gathered a list of the best winter fashion hacks to keep you warm while also staying on trend this winter!

#1. Make your tights last longer by freezing them. Run the tights under cold water, put them in a plastic bag and into the freezer they go! Let them thaw the next day and they are ready to be worn. This process strengthens the fibres of the tights to last.

#2. Soften your itchy sweaters with water and hair conditioner. Create a mixture of water and conditioner to slather the sweater in and let it sit for an hour. Then rinse it and let it air dry. Your sweater will be much less itchy on your skin.

#3. Fold your knitted clothing instead of hanging them to avoid stretching and loosing shape. Check out a neat way to fold your sweaters onto a hanger below from Cosmopolitan:

#4. Remove bad odours from your boots with tea bags. Leave a few dry teabags in your boots overnight to soak up the bad odours and moisture.

#5. If your clothes get covered in little annoying fuzzies, simply run a razor lightly over the clothing to remove them.

#6. Still want to wear those cute summer outfits? Layer up! Wear a turtleneck under your outfit or leggings under your ripped jeans. Find a way to layer and still look cute!

Healthiest Fast Food Options – National Fast Food Day!

Happy National Fast Food Day!

If you want to enjoy yourself today yet keep that fit figure for your auditions and photoshoots, then here is a list of some of the healthiest fast food options available right now:

McDonalds:

Classic Hamburger

To keep it healthy, you dont have to stick to the salads. McDonalds has made an effort to make their burgers better and youre best bet is the classic smaller hamburger. To make it even more healthy, throw away the bun and keep the patty.

Bacon Ranch Grilled Chicken Salad

McDonalds

Ordering a salad and cutting out the bun or tortilla wrap is already better for your health. It is one of the restaurants menu items with the lowest amount of calories. To make it even better, use less dressing than provided or even ask for a healthier option such as low-fat balsamic dressing.

Fruit N Yogurt Parfait

McDonalds

More of an obvious choice, the parfait is low on calories and delicious! If you need a quick breakfast or snack option, you can feel guilt free ordering this!

Chicken Mcnuggets

McDonalds

The chicken will give you the protein you need. Instead of pairing it with french fries, try ordering a side salad along with it. Stay low on the dressing of course.

Burger King

Whopper Jr. (without mayo)

Without the mayo, this sandwich becomes much healthier! Despite it being the smaller version, it will still fill you up with the protein and carbs.

BK Veggie Burger

This burger is a great source of protein that also keeps the fat low. Get rid of the cheese and mayo to ensure its the healthiest it can be.

Chicken Nuggets

Chicken nuggets are low in calories and sodium however make sure to pair them with something light as they will fill you up. A 4-piece is your best bet, increasing the nugget count only increases the calories.

Taco Bell

Bean Burrito

This burrito is healthier than most. Beans are rich in fibre and it contains a lot of protein too!

Chicken Soft Taco

This taco is low on calories yet still pretty high in protein. No need to feel guilty ordering this taco!

Wendys

Small Chili

This option is low in fat while high in fibre and protein. Dont feel pressured to get a burger when you visit Wendys, try their award winning chili!

Grilled Chicken Wrap

The best wrap option on their menu. The calories are relatively low with a great balance of carbs and protein.

Chipotle

A Bowl or Salad

Opting for a bowl or salad eliminates the tortilla which contains hundred of calories in itself. From there, you can add your choice of protein, beans and brown rice instead of white. Adding vegetables and guacamole are good things but try to avoid adding much cheese, sour cream, salsa and chips!

These are just some of the healthier options at some of the most popular fast food chains! Let us know your favourite healthy fast food hack!
