One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure: $0 to $1000 in a day
Society looks down on people who collect the scraps of others, but what they don't realize is that they could get more money in one day than what they get in one week working at their daily job from selling other peoples unwanted goods.

Deal Breaking Finds From Social Media Advertising
Let’s face it, the majority of adverts that pop up on our timelines apparently “targeted” to us are pretty off the mark. Sorry Instagram, but as I am a vegetarian I have no desire to suddenly order the triple cheeseburger just because it’s on offer for 99p.

The Point of Purchasing: How Spring Cleaning Really Begins at the Shop
The big clean I no longer do spring cleaning. No, I have not decided to become a hoarder. But for many years now, my spring cleaning has become a December o-souji, which is basically the Japanese term for a big or important cleaning. The new year o-souji is a deep house-cleaning, one-part practical clean-up and one-part ritual cleansing — symbolically ridding the house of bad luck from the past year, and sprucing it up for the spirits that will bring good luck in the next.

Get Your Life Together With a Digital Planner
I am not an organized person, and no force on Earth can make me one. I’m scatterbrained and constantly scrambling to get projects done because I forgot about them until the last possible second. That was fine enough when I wrote part-time for occasional clients, but 2020 saw a pivotal shift in my life (as it did many others). I lost my full-time gig as a chauffeur and had to rely on writing entirely to sustain myself.

In just a few days we will officially say goodbye to winter and give a warm welcome to spring! We can finally take off our winter layers and enjoy the outdoors without fear of getting too cold.

The 30 Day Squeaky Clean Challenge
It seems like around this time of year everyone begins panicking about getting their Spring cleaning done by... yesterday. The most gut wrenching thing about these people in a panic is that they are handling this like an ostrich with their heads buried in the sand.

One Quick, Easy Way To Reduce Visual Clutter In Your Home
I read Marie Kondo’s The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up on Christmas Day of 2014, just before it hit its peak as a pop culture phenomenon with a Netflix spinoff and dozens of imitators. I found the book simple, readable, and incredibly generous with its advice. Many of Kondo’s tips felt like I was getting permission to do something I’d always known I needed to do, or like an explanation for how to do something I’d never been able to figure out before.

Organize Your Way to Productivity
I’m an artist and creative writer—I’m also a student supporting myself financially. I knew getting through school without a job wasn’t an option for me. Getting through six exams in a week is stressful enough without worrying about the finances. An outlet for all that exam stress is being creative by painting or writing but it can be hard to make the time. All that stress can really inhibit my creative flow.

How We Paid Off $8,500 In Debt Last Month
When I first met my husband his credit was very low. He was about to be evicted from his apartment and wasn't making a lot from his job. It was a situation all parents would dread for their daughter. A week into dating he was invited to live with me and my roommates. After a few months, our relationship had progressed and we moved into our own place.

How To Stop A Stutter
It's not easy having your name called in the classroom to read out loud when you know your about to stutter through the next paragraph. It's also not easy being ignored by someone to have a conversation with as they know your going to stutter through a sentence. This has been my reality for many years and I never imagined what life could be like without having a stutter, only because I thought it would be something I could never get rid of.
