How I earn extra money with Premium Bonds

~ Lacey ~ Leave a comment

I know what you’re thinking and no, I have not been sponsored to write this. I think for the first time, I finally have some proper grip on my savings, and I owe it all to premium bonds. As I write this, however, there is something I want to point out. When I say “earn extra money with premium bonds” I would like to emphasise the word extra.

There is no denying that Christmas is a fantastic time of year. You get to spend time with those who are important to you and you get to give them a few treats too.

The Beginners Guide to Meal Prep

~ Lacey ~ Leave a comment

Meal prep is often something that people either do religiously, or they’ll try it once and never do it again. The concept of meal prepping is quite appealing. You have your meals ready each day so you only need to spend a single day cooking and it saves you money on dining out. What’s more, it encourages you to eat better because what you eat is what you see in front of you. So, why is it so difficult for people to stick to it?

How to have a Zero-Waste Christmas

~ Lacey ~ 1 Comment

I feel like this should have been the first in my Christmas series. I think I was too excited to share my tips for alternatives to traditional wrapping paper that I forgot to begin with an overview. This year, I am hoping for a zero-waste Christmas. I mean, I want a completely zero-waste life, but Christmas is always packed with waste. We buy wrapping paper, crackers, tinsel, and more. These are all things that will simply be thrown away and replaced the following year.

4 Alternatives to Traditional Wrapping Paper

~ Lacey ~ 3 Comments

You may not be aware, but traditional wrapping paper often can’t be recycled. Isn’t that insane!? Yet we use it every single year without a second thought. I think the element of surprise is wonderful, but we certainly need to start being more aware of how much disposable products we use. Especially at this time of the year! Almost all wrapping paper ends up in a landfill, but this can be easily avoided. So, I’m waving goodbye to the single-use option this year. If you want to do the same, here are some suitable alternatives to traditional wrapping paper.
