[ECO]: Easy Ways To Go Green in 2016

With 2016  rocking and rolling for everyone already, what's a better time to start being green than now? 

While going green is a process, these are a few easy steps you can take on your journey of being more eco-friendly. 

♥ Switch your light bulbs to energy saving Compact fluorescent lightbulbs - they use about one 1/3 of electricity and last 10 times longer.

♥ Switch off wall sockets when not in use as they draw a lot of "phantom/vampire" energy while not in use.

♥ Stepping away from your computer for more than 20 minutes? Switch it to "sleep mode" and make sure to power off at the end of the day.

♥ Switch off the tap while brushing your teeth and make sure to have leaking taps fixed.

♥ Plant a tree

♥Start your own vegetable garden

♥  Print on both sides of paper and try go as electronic as possible in terms of documents etc

♥ When buying new beauty products, do your research to find out whether they are cruelty-free or not

♥ Buy local foods, this provides jobs for your community and saves on transport costs.

♥ RECYCLE - REUSE - REDUCE

[LIFE]: Hello 2016

Ringing In The New Year With Positive Vibes

Well hello there 2016, you beautiful thing! 

A few weeks ago, my group of girlfriends and I went through our "highs and lows" of 2015. It saddens me to say that unfortunately my list of lows was longer than my list of highs. While I was still blessed in many aspects of my life, it was a difficult year that brought many changes.

However, with change, comes growth and that is my intention for this year - growth.

Some New Years resolutions are just unattainable like "I want to lose 20kgs by February", no no. This year of growth means doing what is best for myself and while that includes looking after my health, I would like to focus on how to become the best I can be.

I love writing lists, so these lists are now going to include daily goals. I want to read more, making time to read and relax is so important. I want to learn to let go and not let my anxiety and OCD tendencies get in the way of growing. Decreasing clutter and getting rid of the unnecessary has something I started last month already. 

Believing that anything is possible.

Growth.

Many blessings for the year ahead to you all!
