    This episode is also available as a blog post: https://realliferebs.wordpress.com/2021/09/14/5-essentials-you-need-for-university/ Follow me on insta: @realliferebs.blog Continuing with my Uni series, it can be hard to know what exactly to bring for your new flat, so I’ve thought of 5 items which you will need for University but might forget to purchase!

    Sustainable alternatives for your Uni essentials

    This episode is also available as a blog post: https://realliferebs.wordpress.com/2021/09/03/sustainable-alternatives-for-your-uni-essentials/ Follow me on insta: @realliferebs.blog Nothing says you’re starting uni more than a good old Ikea shopping trip! It’s almost compulsory at this point. You drag your parents along, you overfill the trolley with essentials you will definitely need and junk you probably won’t, but you tell yourself you might. You get to the till and it’s far more expensive than you thought… you swear half the items were only £1! I have to say, I’m guilty of this trip, we all are, right? But is it sustainable? Do we need to buy everything brand new? Is Ikea products the only option? As I’m going into my fourth year of being a student, it’s really come to my attention the throwaway culture at university. We buy something new and cheap, which we use for a short period of time before it wears out, breaks or gets left on the side of the road. It’s convenient but not sustainable. And I’m not even convinced in the long run it is cheaper. In this blog post, I’m going to take you through some alternative options for buying your essentials for university, whether you’re a fresher or your returning for another year.

    Sustainable Skin Care

    This episode is also available as a blog post: https://realliferebs.wordpress.com/2021/04/24/sustainable-skin-care/ Follow me on insta: @realliferebs.blog Plastic-free skin care is something I’ve been wanting to explore for a while. Stats show that in the beauty industry 120 billion units of packaging are produced every year[1] and 91% of plastic produced doesn’t get recycled[2]. Plastic packaging is such a massive part of the beauty industry and it can be really difficult to avoid it. And those products which aren’t contained in plastic are often more expensive and harder to come by. In this post I’m going to be chatting through three new sustainable beauty products I’ve been trying recently; a coffee scrub, cotton face pads and natural bar soap. We can’t necessarily tackle the plastic problem all at once, but, we can start somewhere… Links: [1] https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/plastic-produced-recycling-waste-ocean-trash-debris-environment [2] https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/ocean-plastic-waste-beauty-industry#:~:text=Statistics%20report%20that%20120%20billion,landfills%20and%20in%20our%20oceans.

    Can Minimalism Increase Our Happiness?

    This episode is also available as a blog post: https://realliferebs.wordpress.com/2020/07/17/can-minimalism-increase-our-happiness/ Follow me on insta: @realliferebs.blog Inspiration: Inspired by the Netflix documentary ‘Minimalism: A Documentary About The Important Things’, a few months ago I decided to attempt a more minimalist lifestyle. While for me, this did not mean emptying my house of all unnecessary possessions – which I am sure my parents and housemates would not have been impressed with – I thought of ways I could adopt this lifestyle in a way that was more manageable. But what exactly is minimalism, and could the saying ‘less is more’ help us to increase our happiness?
