]]>Upcycling Comes First
From old jars to empty bottles, there are many ways to reuse items that you already have at home, so try to put them front and center in your DIY projects instead of throwing them away.
Right Materials
Use recycled or repurposed materials in your DIY projects whenever possible, or choose eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives if you really have to buy new ones.
Zero Waste
Minimize unnecessary waste by properly planning your projects. Take measurements and cut materials accordingly and figure out if there’s a way to put scraps to some good use.
Work with Others
Working on DIY projects with your friends and family or finding local DIY groups is also a great way to minimize waste because you’d be sharing materials and tools with each other.
Make Something Durable
Focus on DIY projects that last and make things that will stay in your home for years to come. If they don’t require frequent replacement, they’ll create less pollution down the line.

]]>We’ve expected to see a lot of Barbie costumes this year, but most people have gotten this movie out of the system by now. Kelsea Ballerini was one of the very few celebs to dress as Margot Robbie’s doll, while Khloé Kardashian went in a completely different direction and transformed into a Bratz doll with her friends.
Our favorite musicians served as inspiration for some of the year’s best costumes. Paris Hilton dressed up as her close friend Britney Spears, while Halle Bailey pulled off two amazing transformations as Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston.
Superhero-themed costumes were also having a moment, with Kendall Jenner doing her best Wonder Woman impression. Riverdale stars Camila Mendes, Madeline Petsch, and Lili Reinhart joined forces for another matching costume, as the Gotham City Sirens.
Beloved ’90s and 2000s films also inspired some of the year’s top costumes, from Hailey Bieber as Mean Girls characters to Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West as Cher and Dionne from Clueless.
Stick around and check out the very best celebrity Halloween costumes of 2023!

]]>Make Your Social Media More Positive
You can choose who you follow and unfollow on social media. If you’re following brands or influencers that make you feel less than how amazing you are, just unfollow them. Turn your time on social media into something positive and uplifting.
Get Supportive Friends
Do the people in your life uplift you or put you down? Don’t make time for negative people and instead, surround yourself with those who build up your confidence.
Focus on Feeling Comfortable
When you’re trying to build your body confidence, comfort is important. So, if you don’t feel like shaving—don’t bother. Also, wear fabrics that are soft and feel nice on your skin or wear clothes that give you that extra boost of confidence.
(@busybee.carys)Throw on Clothes for No Reason
Just because you’re staying home all day or only heading to the grocery store doesn’t mean you shouldn’t dress in a way that feels good. Go ahead and try new beauty looks you saw on Instagram or TikTok or wear a bold outfit that makes you feel like your best self.

Museums are the most obvious place to spend your time when it’s raining outside. They allow you to explore the history, culture, and art scene of the country you’re visiting in a beautiful indoor setting.

]]>Pink Sauce
One thing that many TikTok trends have in common is that you’ll either love them or hate them, and that’s certainly the case with pink sauce. Despite proving pretty polarizing, it shot its creator Veronica Shaw aka @chef.pii to viral fame, and you can make it with sunflower seed oil, dragonfruit, raw honey, milk, and garlic.

]]>Cranberry Sauce
Thanksgiving can’t go without cranberry sauce, but when it comes in a can it’s usually packed with sugar and calories. That’s why you should consider making your own or carefully checking the labels before buying it.
Turkey Stuffing
Stuffing can make or break your Thanksgiving turkey. If you’re trying to make it a little bit healthier, cutting down on bacon and sausage and replacing it with vegan add-ins will do the trick.
Mashed Potatoes
Ditching the gravy is the easiest way to make mashed potatoes healthier, but it’s not the only one. You can also replace some of the potatoes with cauliflower and cut down on the butter.
Green Bean Casserole
Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same without green bean casserole, and you can try to put a healthy twist on it by cutting down on cheese and crunchy onion topping.
Apple Pie
Skipping whipped cream is the first step to making apple pies healthier, but replacing canned apple pie filling with a homemade version is also a great idea.

]]>Natural
In order for a product to be labeled as natural, it has to have just one percent mineral, plant, or nature-derived ingredients. If the product is 100% natural it won’t have any preservatives added and it will have a shorter shelf life.
Organic
Organic products are grown with soil that doesn’t have pesticides, toxins, or chemicals sprayed. The products are also manufactured with sustainable ingredients.
Clean
Clean means the products don’t have sulfates, phthalates, parabens, pesticides, petroleum derivatives, silicones, artificial colors, and synthetic fragrances.
Vegan
Vegan products aren’t tested on animals and animal and animal byproducts aren’t used in the ingredients or during manufacturing. Products like dairy, honey, lactic acid, and biotin aren’t used.
Fair Trade
Fair trade means the ingredients used like argan oil, coconut oil, and shea butter are purchased at fair prices and the community projects and local farmers who grew them are supported.
