TLOV | What to do after college

When I was younger I never really knew what I wanted to be. I was sort of in a haze between doing something I was good at or doing something that I as going to enjoy at that time. Truthfully there was nothing more that I wanted to be than a hairdresser. But really I knew that was only because I enjoyed chopping off the hair on my dolls, or styling my mum or sisters hair. I knew for someone like me that wasn’t really going to work out as a career choice, as not only was I and still am indecisive meaning that I couldn’t make a decision to save my life, but I also got pretty bored easily, and I enjoyed and thrived on challenges.

But we are also putting our washing machines through their paces, with many of us using washing machines more than 3 times a week for our loads. Due to this it is any wonder exactly how many liters of water and energy is being used for washing cycles that may just be unnecessary to run.

TLOV | Dealing with abusive relationships

Relationships are difficult. One minute you think you have found the one, the next minute things are over without you even seeing the signs. Sometimes though, as much as it doesn’t feel like it, it can be a god send for the relationship to be over, as it could be one deemed as an unhealthy relationship.
