Living better, but with less
I’m ashamed. I let life get on top of me a little bit, I’ve updated my wardrobe and I haven’t cleared anything out. I’m now struggling to close drawers and find things in my heaving wardrobe. I honestly can’t believe I’ve let things get to this point. Perhaps that’s why I’ve been lacking in motivation…

First of all, it has been a longgggg time since my last post for which I apologise. Life has been busy! But on that note, life has also been expensive. I feel like my news feed is full of articles about the rising cost of living, namely groceries which I feel like is all people…

I’m a big fan of leftovers, any potential food waste that I can save and re-purpose the next day is a big win for me. I hate throwing away perfectly good food, aside from the obvious, it feels to me just like throwing away money. Just as if I were to take a $5 note…

Recently I was faced with the prospect of having a night all to myself. It’s not that I don’t love spending time with Friends and Family, but more that I do love a bit of me time but am often confronted with how to exactly spend this time. During this rare time I feel like…
