Lately I’ve been re-inspired by all things eco-friendly and minimal. Not that I ever stopped being interested, and I haven’t ‘forgotten’ to be more aware of waste, but after the initial excitement of researching something new, it’s easy to push it to the back of your mind. The other day I bought some Australian-made, organic, … Continue reading Environmental Accountability
In some ways it’s a bit ridiculous, the way I talk about Instagram more since deleting my account. I suppose it’s similar to paying more attention to material items when taking the road to minimalism town. But I do think this whole social media thing should be blogged about, just once more. Mainly because I … Continue reading On Instagram – Again
A month ago, I wrote this post about why I deleted my Instagram account. One month on, and I want to talk about what’s changed – if anything – since then. (Something to note is a few days after deleting my Instagram account I also deactivated my Facebook account. These were the two social media … Continue reading One Month Without Social Media
Taking care of the earth is a hot topic right now, and probably will be until Jesus returns. I say this because I believe that no amount of meat-free Monday’s we participate in (with our metal straws at the ready) can reverse some of the damage already done to this planet. In light of this, … Continue reading Reversing the Damage to Our Environment

You might be asking why I went to the extreme measure of deleting my Instagram account. There are ways to … Continue reading Why I Deleted my Instagram Account
I posted an eco-friendly update here, but I wanted to write about the positive effects minimalism has had on my life thus far. As I’ve said, I’ve always been a neat, organised person who doesn’t like clutter or mess, but even so I've decluttered further in the last few weeks. I wouldn't call myself a … Continue reading The Effects of Minimalism
I thought I’d make a list of ten things that are relatively easy to declutter; they're main areas that usually build up items we don't like or need. 1/ Clothes My top tip for this is: take everything out of the wardrobe. Looking at an item in your closet makes you more likely to leave … Continue reading Declutter: Ten Things
Nearly ten days ago I posted this, which spoke of my want to be more eco-friendly and minimalistic. It hasn’t been too long, but I felt like blogging a little update, so here we are! Here's what's happened since that blog post: 1/ I bought a phone case that’s compostable I've been wanting a new … Continue reading Eco-Friendly: An Update
If you remember from this post, I said that one small step I want to take to help the environment was to sew reusable cotton rounds. I use disposable ones to remove makeup and nail polish, and that's a lot of waste. Sewing reusable ones wasn't that hard, either; I spent half an hour one … Continue reading Sewing: Reusable Cotton Rounds
I roasted a tin of chickpeas on Sunday. Well, it was meant to be a tin of chickpeas; in all honesty, I did eat several handfuls before they made it onto the tray. To be fair, I was hungry and they were nicer than I expected them to be. I looked up many recipes, and … Continue reading Roasted Chickpeas
