Today I'm going to share with you a list of websites that you can use to earn money from surveys this year! What I will say up front is that earning extra money by completing surveys is never going to make you a millionaire. It will, however, make you a reasonable amount of money if you stick to it and could definitely add up to pay for next Christmas if you're consistent and have a little time on a regular basis to dedicate to completing surveys. I've done surveys myself in the past but never to a degree where I've earned more than about £15 a month which is good when you consider … [Read more...]

I bought a pack of air drying clay for £6 on Amazon to make these with and as well as making 6 of my cute little DIY marble coasters, there was enough left over to do three other projects that I'll share with you over the next couple of months too.  Today though, I'm going to show you how I made my DIY marble coasters which I love!

There are so many ways to slow down and simplify life - some I already do, some I'm trying to do but not quite there yet and some that I plan to start this year because, after a couple of difficult years, I really do want to slow down and enjoy this year because we never know what's going to happen! There are really only two things you need to do in order to simplify your life - the first is to take a little time and decide what it is that's important to you and the second is to try and get rid of as much of the other stuff and the things that get in the way of what's important to you … [Read more...]
