Coffee break, opting out of purchases for a year, and experiencing the finest sleep imaginable
Welcome to this month's edition of Weekend Favorites! As the sun shines brighter and the days grow longer, we've curated a collection of articles designed to help you find peace, clarity, and joy. From a 30-day decluttering challenge to tips for a restful night's sleep, we've got you covered.
Firstly, we present a 30-day decluttering challenge to help you simplify your life and create a more serene living space. To accompany those lighter days, we've also put together a list of 55 easy summer salads to refresh your palate and nourish your body.
In our quest for tranquillity, we've delved into self-care practices and hobbies that can help reduce anxiety and improve mental health. Engaging in gentle physical activity, listening to music, writing, chewing gum, watching funny videos, using stress-relief toys, practising breathing exercises, establishing routines, taking technology breaks, and even knitting have all been found to support mental well-being.
For those planning a solo adventure, we offer golden rules for solo travel, ensuring your journey is both safe and enriching. If you're in search of a good read, we've discussed a first fun book of summer that promises to captivate your imagination.
In the realm of work, we've compiled 5 tips to be happier at work, helping you find contentment and balance in your professional life. And for those seeking financial stability, we've explored the 'no-buy year' as a means to save money and simplify your possessions.
