I'm trying something a little different. One of the tasks from the minimalist challenge was to go through and evaluate your possessions. For the past two months, I've been committing to purchase cruelty-free makeup because I am not willing to harm animals for the sake of my lip colour.
I've been in a bit of a slump, inspiration-wise. Considering it took me about a week to write this post it's definitely getting out of control. But today I wanted to talk about getting inspired, mostly creatively, and the best places to find it. Let's get crackin'.
Things get hectic real quick. I'm in my last year of high school and fourteen assessments/exams is a lot to handle in one term. I have ten to go, and it's gonna be a lot of work. You might be thinking that I'm a little crazy for throwing a 30-day challenge on top of that, but once I explain it you might see why.
So I tried to listen to a new album every day for a week, key word tried. I missed Monday, but I did get through some great tracks, and if you're into eclectic, easy listening, indie-pop, this is the playlist for you.
I have never read a book in one day before. Until two days ago. My mum came home with a book called Chapter One, written by one of the co-founders of my favourite organisation, Thankyou (yes, no space inbetween). It's the story of the highs and lows of the company up to right now, Daniel Flynn is not one to delay something until the right moment if he can do it now. The book is amazing, but first let me give you a quick run down of Thankyou.
Founded by three university students in Melbourne, Thankyou aims to sell products everyday people buy, and use 100% of the profit to fund projects in third world countries. They sell water, funding water projects, Cereal/Muesli Bars/Granola to fund food projects, and body care, to fund health & sanitation projects. The company has faced enormous set backs, but their all-important question, "what if it works?" has gotten their unique business model beating global companies like evian and dove on Coles and Woolworths shelves. As of January 2016, they have raised $3.7 million dollars.
