1st Oct 2014

Lotsa thoughts going thru my mind recently..

Contemplating about excessive consumerism... I have stopped buying clothes the past few months.. Normally, I will buy a new dress when there is an upcoming occassion, BD / Xmas / DND... But this past few months, I made sure not to.. Happiness should be experiences, not stuff. Trying to lead a simpler and clutter free life. Plan is to fit everything I own in one luggage ;)

Pondering abt reducing my carbon footprint.. This aligns with my previous target to buy less... But need to ponder abt recycle, reuse, and reduce waste.

How to leave the Earth a better place...

Volunteering...

How food affects my body.. Started my first whole 30 today. Definitely gonna be one of the most challenging thing Im committed to doing. Im looking at 30 days of cooking clean and eating clean! First day went by and its all good :D

This effectively meant no cafe hopping.. Unless I stick to only drinking tea and black coffee.

Pondering about the amount of chemicals we are exposed to daily through all the personal care products we are using.. Its a staggering amount!

In an attempt to reduce the amount of chemical Im exposing my body to, I've also been looking into natural shampoos / facial wash / etc.. I've also started using honey shampoo today.. Will see how my hair/scalp reacts over the next few days... As of now, it feels nice and soft after first wash :D
