    Spiritual gift guide + zen must-haves for the spiritual junkie

There are many things that make great zen must have gifts for people that want to be more spiritual but also, they make great presents for yourself when you need a little pick-me-up.

    How to live a day without plastic + a day in the life of a blogger

    Did you know that between 4.8 million and 12.7 million tons of plastic land in the sea every year? And that it takes up to 450 years to break down 1 plastic bottle?

    No? Then you are not the only one who didn’t know this. I knew about it, but not exactly.

    During my travels, I have seen whole beaches covered with plastic, snorkeled in the plastic soup and at rescue centers seen so many lovely animals with plastic in their stomach…. It’s heartbreaking and this has to stop and it starts with yourself. Reduce your use of plastic, recycle and go for the other option where possible. But above all: become aware of how much plastic you use in a day.

    And to help you, National Geographic is all about #STOPMETPLASTIC throughout the month of June.

    4 Things you need to do to achieve your dream life

    What would it mean to you to have the life of your dreams? Would you even know if you were living it right now, or would you have missed the signs and kept your gaze fixed on the horizon?

    In today’s super-fast digital world, it is easy to have dreams sold to us by media and marketing businesses that tell us what to want. Big brands manipulate us into thinking about how we’ll never really be content until, or unless, we have their latest, biggest product in our hands, and the lifestyles of the rich and famous (as shown to us by carefully curated TV shows) expand and distort our sense of what the good life means.

    But have you ever really sat down and tried to articulate your own dream life, without letting the preoccupations and marketing slogans of others get in the way? Have you actually been taking steps towards the life you want to live, rather than just the one you’ve been told you should want?

    There’s nothing wrong with wanting a bit of material comfort in your life, but will that new phone or car fulfill you, personally, in the same way, that doing a first aid certification online might?

    Without further ado, here are some tips for identifying and achieving the life of your dreams.

    Self-care resolutions for finding happiness in the new year

    Every single year, we celebrate the first day. January 1st is a day to be happy because right in front of you is a whole year stretched ahead and it’s totally blank. The pages in the calendar are fresh and untouched. Sure, the bills you pay are still the same; when the rent is due it’s due, but you get a chance to look at your life and make changes, without the baggage of the previous year on your shoulders. There will be some things that are permanent in your life, such as family, friends, and career, that you will carry through with you, but you have the opportunity to make as many changes as you like to enrich your life and find inner happiness. Finding what makes you happy, or what will enhance how happy you already are lies in your ability to give yourself the care that you deserve. (more…)
