Tiny Houses

For the past year or so, I've been seeing pictures of tiny houses everywhere! I always liked the idea, but though "I'd never be able to live in a tiny house!" AND THEN I REALIZED I LIVE IN A TINY HOUSE. Well, apartment technically. We live in a bachelor apartment that's smaller then most tiny houses i've seen!

The main thing is that it is an open concept. Sure, you've got little space, but any sized place can feel small depending on how you use the space. You could have a giant house but if it's filled to the brim with dressers and couches and tables, with those tops being cluttered with silly things,it's going to feel small. If you have less stuff and keep things tidy, it really doesn't matter how small a place you live in. I've been living here for a year and a half, and my old bedroom at my moms still looks like someone lives there, because I didn't bring stuff I don't need, and I have never missed anything! Except maybe my mom.

Anyways, I got a little carried away. Here are some tiny houses I've been loving.













What kind of house/apartment do you live in?

Cheers!

Natural Living: Is it worth it?

The past couple weeks I've been spending a lot of time thinking about making a big move. A huge move. A life-changing move that might be a pain in the butt. Going from pizza eating - cheese loving - chemical wearing - hair bleaching gal to a vegan, all natural and organic gal. Will it be worth it? Yes. Can I do it? I hope so.

Things I plan on changing to:
-mostly vegan and organic diet
-no more hair dying.

-natural AND homemade by me shampoo/soap/cleaning supplies/makeup. (Except nail polish, until I can find a natural version I will continue to wear chemical/store bought nail polish)

-less energy consumption around the loft.

I don't know if I left anything out, but I'm sure you get the idea. 

Reasons why I am doing this:

-it's better for the environment

-it's  better for my body
-it's better for my healthy

-it's better for my wallet.

-it's better for animals.

I don't know about you, but those seem like good reasons. The past two months I have been a wreck - headaches that last all days, sluggishness around 2, wanting to fall asleep at like 8 pm and just a general ugh feeling. And, the reason was obvious. I ate. A lot. All the time. One would think I was  pregnant at the stuff and amount I was eating. This lifestyle change will fix all those up in a giffy!

Thanks to Wellness Mama for much need inspiration to finally put me from liking the idea of natural living to actually making homemade shampoo and cleaning supplies.

Cheers!
