My Plastic Impact
Knowing where to start when it comes to reducing your plastic use can be a bit baffeling. Whether you have made a few changes already or are just starting out, picking out what to change and how to change it can leave some scratching their heads and eventually giving up on the whole idea. I personally have fallen back a few times when I felt there was no viable option for me to go plastic free with something. I felt bad at the time and now realise that, at that time, there wasn't an option that worked out for me in a practical or financial way. I'm still far from plasic free myself, but I'm still making changes and fighting back against the pit falls I have found. And in the end, that is all that can be expected of anyone. To try. There are mountains of internet influancers out there showing you how to live 100% plastic and rubbish free, showing you their 'trash jar' that cointains the only throw away scraps from a whole year or two. Is it possible to live that way? Yes, it definatly is. Is that achievable for all of us? HELL NO! If you want to do something to reduce your rubbish and one shot plastic, you can. It won't go a long way to fix the world's plastic problem, but you will know for yourself that you are reducing the problem. If you buy less plastic packaging, you are sending a message to the manufacturers about what the consumers want. It's already starting to happen and things are starting to change. If we keep pushing this with our purchases, we can keep that momentum going and it might even pick up pace.

Gift cards! the perfect gift.
“What do you want for Christmas?” The most common question asked around right after Black Friday or Cyber Monday with friends and the family. Of course, the real Christmas shopping starts When you and everyone and their mother show up at the mall or local stores kicking, fighting, and pulling on the same item that you want, hell your lucky if you get half the items on your list. Then comes the gift wrapping; you always got to be sure the wrapping looks excellent and professional. But there is nothing more annoying than finding out the gift you are giving is not what the person wants or gives it to someone else. Example: When I found out the person I gave a nice pocket watch to, I thought he would like it. A couple of days later, I found out he passed the pocket watch to his child; I was angry but heartbroken because that person is a wealthy CEO, and I am a freelance writer. (I don’t want to give the name because I don’t want to have issues.) If you’re wondering what I got? I didn’t get crap! Because he said, Christmas isn’t about presents; it’s about being with the family. And he gives everyone except me a gift. When I asked why I didn’t get a gift, he said only the girls get presents. Just a heads up, I’m a girl. So, enough about that crap, if you want to get a good gift for that gamer, writer, outgoing person, or whatever they are, whether they are your co-worker or relative. When it comes to getting the right gift for the right person. I always get the one thing that is a guaranteed win.

Pencils to Pixels. Top Story - December 2020.
Many artists start creating with traditional mediums such as graphite, paint, pens, pastels, and many other mediums. One other medium that has become increasingly popular is digital media. The most accessible and affordable way an artist utilized digital media in the past was with free software and a mouse. While many artist could successfully create great works with the point and click of a mouse, others did not find it so intuitive or natural. With dozens of cost-effective softwares and mobile devices being easily accessible, more and more artists are trying their hand at digital media. The transition, however, isn't always smooth, but I have a few tips from my own personal experience switching from traditional to digital art. Keep in mind I am a self-taught artist, and everyone will have different techniques and workflows that work for them.

The Minimalist Way to Be Super Organized with Zero Complexity
I am super organized. It’s not to show off either. An organized home, or being early to an appointment, won’t impress people much. You won’t achieve all of your dreams in three hours because you made a tiny decision to be organized — that’s self-help porn.
