"How can I be more eco-conscious?" "What are some easy things I can do to love my environment more?"
With topics like recycling, eating local and 'Green Christmas' popping up at our dinner table conversations, there is no better time to introduce the little steps you can easily do in the new year to do your part for planet earth!
How can you reduce plastic in your daily routine? Are you generating more waste when hitting your gym workout or
We all know the daily hustle can be exhausting and the worst part of it all, thinking about work after hours happens more often then we'd like to admit! Bringing too much work home can quickly get us down, make us anxious, sleep-deprived and just not someone fun to be around.

All these lifestyle changes just for a couple of hours of running with a group of strangers (just as crazy and stupid
I’m sure most, if not all, of us have trouble with staying positive and being able to control how we react & feel in different situations.
I’ve spent nearly 3 years now on Instagram where I actively follow many inspiring people, and one thing that I was amazed by at the start was how positive some of them always seemed to be. Of course, social media is but a tiny portion of someone’s life - but at

We often hear the phrase “the grass is greener on the other side”. Many of us have probably realized by now that this is a lie our society and culture has fed us to perpetuate - a constant sense of dissatisfaction with ourselves and our lives, and an envious attitude toward others; ultimately wholly negative and destructive thought processes.
