MONEY: A very good reason to stick to your resolutions!

Posted on by .

Let’s face it saying you just saying “I want to be thinner” is not a resolution that will ever likely materialise in reality. If you are going to go through the trouble of making resolutions then you need a specific goal and a way to measure your progress to that goal. Almost all of us, [...]

As part of my ongoing Wwoofing volunteering I have ended up staying with an intentional community for the last week. It’s been fun and a great learning experience giving me an insight into how and why these places continue to work even in today’s modern world. I thought it would be cool to talk a [...]

How much cutting back is too much?

Posted on by .

I’m big on cutting back on everything you can, cutting back on possessions and mental baggage has helped me cut down on general stress, my reliance on lots of money and allowed me to travel much easier. I now travel with one large backpack (100 litres) and a standard backpack. This is practically everything I [...]

Free Jack Nicholson ‘The Shining’ Pumpkin Stencils

Yep, it’s halloween very soon so I thought i’d just throw a few simple pumpkin templates together to give away. I love The Shining and Jack Nicolson’s character is one of the best in horror (in my opinion), so why not put him on a Halloween Jack’O’Lantern! I tried to keep these simple but they [...]

I’m Fine, Thanks: My Review

Posted on by .

This is a movie about the moment people realize the life they’re living is not the life that’s true to their heart… and, as a result, what they decide to do about it! When I read those words on the I’m Fine, Thanks Kickstarter page I knew I had to help back it. Of course [...]

On saturday Mohammed Farah, a Somalian refuge, stormed the 10,000 metre event in the London 2012 Olympics grabbing one of many golds that day to help hammer down the the UK as a force to be reckoned with in the medal tables. I stood in a pub with a bunch of 40-70 year old white, [...]

The cheap and environmentally friendly way to shave: How you can save 95% on shaving!

Posted on by .

The current shaving industry is a wasteful and environmentally unfriendly industry. I was thinking about slowly moving into this statement but I couldn’t find an easy way to basically say what I think. Most of us buy disposable razors, use chemically produced face creams and are literally throwing away money with each and every disposal. It doesn’t [...]

The freedom of having nothing

I remember as a kid always wishing that I had more stuff. I wanted each and every Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle figure, I wanted more pocket money so I could buy more candy, more die-cast cars, more this and more that. I grew up in a world where having it all was part of the [...]

When did Americans stop giving a SCOTUS about each other?

Posted on by .

As a Brit, who grew up without ever questioning the notion of health care for all, the circus going on in the Good ‘ol US of Frickin A has me all a little disillusioned about life, the universe and everything. A heavily modified version of the Big Bad Barack’s health care plan, that aims to [...]

Do you really practise what you preach? Am I really frugal?

Posted on by .

If you tell a lie enough times you can come to believe it. From people stuffing down a cheeseburger between salads, pretending debt doesn’t exist, hiding a drug problem in the family, or even ignoring domestic violence, it can get extreme. Keeping up appearances dictates a lot a of external behaviour and harbours internal issues. On many levels [...]
