Trying to be more sustainable is something many people are doing at the moment because of the impact of global warming. Furthermore, many things in your life need to change for you to be sustainable.

Thirty Wears

Thirty wears is something we would advise everybody to do. Something many people do in the western country is wearing clothes once and then throw them away. One of the main reasons people are doing this is because of social media. As soon as they are spotted wearing that item once, they don’t want to be spotted wearing it again.

If you are one of those who throw away clothes because you have worn them once or it is out of fashion, you should probably look at evergreen clothing. Furthermore, if you wish to be more sustainable, you need to avoid fast fashion brands and target more organic brands that use sustainable materials such as Foolish. That way, you will ensure you will get over 30 wears out of them.

Be More Informed

It is time to educate yourself with more sustainable brands and what materials are organic. Additionally, we can guarantee that many fashion brands in the industry won’t be sustainable brands. Nonetheless, many brands are sustainable and they make sure you know they are. You will be surprised how many brands push for sustainable clothing in 2022.

The digital world makes it much easier for us to shop sustainably. All you need to do is search in Google “Organic fashion brands” or “Sustainable fashion brands”. Then you need to find a brand that is suited to you. Moreover, there are many organic fabrics to wear to ensure that the product you …

The Best Home Shopping Tips

Posted on October 26, 2022 by Kroita

It’s often difficult to know exactly what to get and what to buy when it comes to designing your home. When social media is awash with influencers posting their home decor on instagram, the pressure to curate a welcoming and relaxing space that reflects your personality can be overwhelming. However, there are some small changes you can make to your shopping strategy that might make decorating your home less stressful- even fun!

1. Plan out your space

If you print out the floorplans of your home, you can sketch out where you want your furniture to go. This will help you conceptualise a space that is tailored to your needs- without moving all of your furniture around before you know where it will go! This will help you to determine how much you can buy- before you buy ornaments and realise they don’t fit

2. Curate Your Themes

Nothing is worse than a space that doesn’t know the vibe it wants to be! For example, if you have fitted a modern, industrial kitchen, farmhouse or vintage style ornaments and homeware may cloud the vision of your space. Pay attention to what you have picked in terms of wallpaper or appliances, so you can choose accessories to compliment your home, rather than clash with it.

3. Work With Your Budget Room to Room

Many people fall into the trap of buying one expensive item to decorate one room of the house, and this means the other rooms are neglected and are often left a bit empty looking. If you set out a clear budget for each room and stick to it, this will mean that your home looks more cohesive as a result.

4. Know Your Fabrics

The fabrics on your soft furnishings are such an important part of what makes …

Key things you need to know before getting a Tragus Piercing

Posted on October 26, 2022 by Kroita

In recent years, there has been a huge rise in popularity of alternative piercings. From daith to tragus piercings, there’s nothing more on trend at the moment than a carefully curated ear stack. Tragus piercings are one of those that has become extremely popular, so we have put together some key points that you may want to consider before you bejewel your tragus, based on commonly asked questions.

Can you wear a regular earring in your tragus?

Generally speaking, you technically can wear a regular earring in your tragus once your piercing has fully healed and is ready for you to change, but it’s not recommended. Like daith earrings, tragus piercings tend to be a different size to regular earrings that are meant for your lobe, with a typical tragus earring being 16 gauge compared to a lobe earring’s 18 gauge. This size difference means that if you put a lobe earring in your tragus piercing, the hole is likely to shrink to the size of the smaller earring. It’s then extremely difficult and painful to go back to a specialist tragus earring at a later date.

Do tragus piercings help with anxiety?

There is some evidence to support the claim that tragus piercings help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and other ailments such as migraines, depression and even epilepsy. This comes down to the cause of the ailment in the first place. A common cause of migraines and anxiety is malfunctions in the vagus nerve – a long nerve that extends throughout the outer ear area – piercing the tragus is often an alternative way to treat symptoms since the piercing stimulates the nerve.

Is a hoop or a stud better for a tragus piercing?

Usually, its best practice to pierce a tragus with a stud and most professional …

How Gen Z Has Changed The World Of Fashion

Posted on August 26, 2022 by Kroita

There’s no denying that Gen Z has been influential in a number of different ways, but perhaps the biggest impact this generation has had is on the fashion industry. These 10-25-year-olds have grown up with technology at their disposal and have shown to adapt to new trends at a surprisingly quick pace, not least with fashion.

Unlike previous generations, who largely created their own looks, ideas and trends, Gen Z has mostly taken the best from each generation before them and made them their own, particularly when it comes to fashion. With that in mind, let’s take a look at exactly how Gen Z has changed the world of fashion.

Bringing Back Old Trends

Do you remember the low-rise jeans trend of the early 00s? Or still have a few beloved pieces from being a teenager in the late 90s/early 00? If so, then you’ll likely be surprised to learn that, just like everything, these trends have come back full circle and are now being loved all over again by Gen Z’ers. All the typical 00s fashion trends seem to be slowly returning – womens crop tops, slip dresses, small bags, party bodysuits, chunky trainers – and it’s all thanks to Gen Z.

Not Accepting Of Fast Fashion

Fast fashion has had disastrous impacts on the environment and no one wants to change this more than Gen Z. As a generation who have only known fast fashion, they’ve had a phenomenal impact on the popularity of thrift shopping and vintage clothing resurgence and want to make sure that their fashion choices are sustainable and economical.

Although changing how you shop won’t solve everything, but when it comes to a whole generation making a similar choice, it’s definitely a great starting point and it seems more positive for future …
