How To Live Your Best Life on a Budget
Budgeting. The worst word in the English language. As a recent graduate starting a Masters course shortly, budgeting has become even more essential than before. Over the past five years, I have spent ridiculous amounts of money on rent, bills, clothes, food, holidays, everything really. Had I started saving earlier, I would be in a much better position. Luckily, my dad’s nagging and desire to splash the cash on the summer of a lifetime encouraged me to start saving from last year. Now I have something called savings!

Store Cupboard Glamour
Keep it simple. Keep it natural. That is the advice most of us try to follow in our beauty regimes. However, it can be impossible to tell just how natural our hair and skin products really are. There is an increasingly high number of chemicals present in modern moisturisers and creams, which over time can tire out our skin, clog up our drains with harmful toxins and make a significant hole in our wallets.

How to Make the Most of the Season of Change
An important part of life is learning to cope with adjustments and as we all know autumn is a season of change. Change can often be a stressful concept, but this season portraits an important life hack: It can also be a constructive and/or enjoyable experience.

The good thing about seasonal change is that it is gradual, which is the best way to learn how to adjust. It's hard to say goodbye to summer's comfort, however, and you may still wonder how this season could be so looked forward to, if at all.

Nomad Living
In the past three years I have moved a total of 13 times. This is a lot for a person who had lived in the same house for 20 years. In my case it wasn’t intentional, neither did I like it. My husband, on the other hand, loved it. That said, you can only imagine how bad our moving experiences were. But, I like to think of every experience like an opportunity to learn something, by the time we were going to move for the third time we had learned a lot, and now after three years we have learned a lot more, and I have learned to enjoy the moving experience. Yes, moving to a new place can be a good and fun thing.
