About the Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Olusola
Samsung Galaxy Note 8

The Galaxy note 8 came around quickly sequel to the call back of the failed note 7.

The note 8 is an awesome phone. Released 4 years ago, the Galaxy note 8 still holds its own when compared to the latest generation of Android phones around now. 

The phone is powered by snapdragon 835 or exynos octa  CPU and can handle almost every application and games in a smooth operation. The graphics processing unit is awesome. It comes with a 6GB RAM, making multitasking easier and smoother. Except if you are using highly demanding applications such as video editing software or gaming, The phone can last up to 10 hours just surfing the internet and watching videos.

Samsung have since produced better phones than the note 8, however these phones are still too expensive for an average income earner. 

If you are looking for a high-end Android smartphone that is still comparable to the current competition and you are on a budget, go for the note 8, it costs just around $200 currently.

How to make hand sanitizer

Olusola
Hand sanitizer

The worldwide covid 19 spread brought about the relevance of hand sanitizers. Since our hands easily come in contact with germs and viruses including coronaviruses, hand sanitizers became necessary to purify our hands and reduce the spread of this deadly virus.

Hand sanitizers are available in supermarkets and stores. It’s also easy to make. This article will focus on how to make hand sanitizers for yourself.

Items needed to make hand sanitizer.

Isopropyl Alcohol ( up to 99% volume).

Aloe Vera Gel.

Lemon juice.

Method of making your own hand sanitizer

The world health organization recommends at least 60% of the hand sanitizer should be alcohol. Alcohol is the main ingredient that kills the germs, aloe vera prevents the alcohol from drying out too quickly and the lemon juice acts as a sort of fragrance.

Mixing two parts of Isopropyl alcohol to one part of aloe vera gel plus 10 drops of lemon juice will give you hand sanitizer.

Some doctors also recommend 3 parts of alcohol to one part of aloe vera gel.

Availability

Isopropyl alcohol and aloe vera gel is readily available in local stores around you. You can easily buy a lemon fruit from a fruit store and extract its juice.

You can also process aloe vera leaves and extract its gel. Just wash the leaves, peel its outer leaf skin and blend the inner contents to liquify the gel.
