The Power of Space
We all need space. And not just from time to time because we happen to be feeling overwhelmed at that particular moment. We need consistent space in order to grow and thrive. It is a necessity. Put a plant in a crowded bed and it will slowly but surely become choked out. The plant won't be able to get the nutrients it needs to truly flourish. Human beings are the same. We need mental and emotional space to thrive. We need the space created by ample, unscheduled time.

Helpful Lifehacks for Nurses on the Go
You have to admit, nurses do a lot of work around the hospital. Hell, they're even more active than the doctors themselves. From setting up the patient for surgery to caring for them until the patient is fully recovered, they're almost always on their feet. While the number of patients at a hospital outdoes the amount of nurses there are, all nurses have to be somewhere on command and give the best service. No matter who the patient is and whether they're rude, quiet, smelly, or wet, no one is there to care for the patient but the nurses.

Budgeting in Your 20s
"Everyone is broke in their twenties... and everyone hides from their bills." This is a quote from 2 Broke Girls that me and my flatmate use to help justify how bad we are at managing our money. We know we shouldn't buy that pizza, order that bottle of wine or shop for those shoes, but we do. I am weak willed and constantly avoiding checking my account so what should I change? What will I change? Probably nothing.

How to Save Money Being Low-Income
I need to get better at using coupons this year. Coupons are useful. I have no debt as a low-income person. Having a potluck at home can save money indefinitely. Although making enough food for a week can also save money. Food banks only help so much. I have breakfast for the next few weeks, as I have cut cereal from my diet since I need to lose weight by not snacking so much. In December, I was at 112 pounds. Now I’m 120. This is concerning me. My entertainment is Hulu and it only costs me $7.99 a month with commercials. I also have CBS All Access.

How to Save Money
For as long as I can remember, money has always been something I strived to control. Growing up in NYC with such a large family, funds were often limited. If you wanted something outside of the prescribed necessities, you were out of luck. Unless you learned how to save and build what you were given.

5 Ways to Cut Down Your Plastic Use
Shows such as Blue Planet II have made it clear that our oceans are full of plastic, and it's time to do something about it. It's not until you think about plastic that you realise that almost everything you buy has some form of plastic on it that you're going to throw away. Your food has copious amounts of plastic surrounding it, your clothes have plastic tags, and that pair of scissors you bought is surrounded by tough plastic that actually requires another pair of scissors to open. This plastic often finds its way into the ocean and is damaging the delicate sea creatures, and it's damaging us. Even plastic you send for recycling isn't always reused as recycling is a hard service to offer consistently. Here are five simple ways that you can cut down your plastic usage.
