When I was younger, my favorite hobby was staying up all night. I was so good, I would stay up all night and still head to school in the morning only to crash when I came home. I did that all the way until I began college. I remember in high school, coming home, lying …
I’ve had depression for half my life. Since I was 12, I’ve been diagnosed twice. I have chosen not to get treated or medicated for it. Instead, I have always wanted to “beat this thing.” Unfortunately, for a lot of us, it’s not ever going away. This is a reality that you have to face. …
You have a goal. A dream. A wish. A want. A dream life. Same. Sometimes, you’re willing to do anything for the dream, but it still doesn’t work out. That’s okay. You will get it eventually. I know some very powerful steps to get everything you want. The steps are straightforward, but you must focus …
Well this is the end of the daily changes. Over the next few days, I’ll be doing stories to run through my challenge and give updates on each one! This challenge was inspired by Vanessa Farquharson. In 2007, she had Green as a Thistle as a blog. She did a green change every single day …

Eating more plant-based is better for the environment. There’s less energy to make processed foods. There’s almost always less packaging with whole foods. And it’s healthier. Tomorrow it …
I will be making my own liquid soap using bar soaps. This cuts down on a lot of plastic because bar soaps are usually packaged in paper or cardboard. Now when you turn bar soap into liquid soap, it’s not going to have the same consistency as just plain liquid soap. Some people call it …
Going with the soap theme, we arrive at the last one! For now on, instead of using dish liquid that comes in plastic, I will be using bar soap. You can use a bamboo scrub brush with the bar soap and that would work well. I’m going to be turning the bar soaps into liquid. …
We are heading into a bar soap theme! Today’s change is using bar soap for handwashing only. This is the easiest bar soap you can find in stores and most are packaged in paper. And honestly, they’re cheap too. Winning!!!
Alrighty. It’s time to get into shampoo bars. I’m afraid of my hair being wrecked, but… I have been using a natural shampoo, so hopefully, it will be alright!! No more shampoo in plastic for me!
