As we turn yet another page on the calendar, we’re halfway through 2022 and officially a couple of weeks into summer. June was a busy month for me, and I fell a little behind in my blog reading. Nevertheless, I still found four posts to share in my June 2022 roundup of inspiring blog posts.
Today is National Compliment Your Mirror Day. It’s a day to show ourselves some love and remind ourselves of how wonderful we are. Self-love is an area many of us—especially women—need a little help with. This week, let’s challenge ourselves to reject unrealistic external standards and embrace our real beauty.
Today is Canada Day. Our country’s 155th birthday is the perfect day to share a Clutter Tale that celebrates my love of my adopted homeland. This tale was inspired by something I found in my night table drawers. Seeing the Bible from my Canadian citizenship ceremony in 1985 made me pause and reflect on things I love about Canada.
Plastic pollution is a huge environmental issue and, despite increased awareness, we don’t seem to be winning the war on single-use plastic.
As Plastic Free July 2022 kicks off on Friday, let’s all commit to simple changes that will make a difference. To help you get started, today’s post has a free printable calendar of 31 easy swaps. Pick one or two, or challenge yourself to try all 31!
FOMO (fear of missing out)—it’s a term we hear all the time, but do you ever wonder why it has emerged as a big thing over the last few years? Today’s Simple Living Sunday post looks at the rise of FOMO and how you can say bye-bye to the stress of FOMO and hello to JOMO, its younger and brighter cousin.
It’s National Upcycling Day, a day to celebrate the art of transforming something old into something new. If you’re not familiar with upcycling, today’s post looks at what it is and how it can be a better option than reusing or recycling. Plus, I’ve got a list of creative upcycling ideas to get you started.
It’s National Smoothie Day. To celebrate, I’ve got a delicious seven-ingredient smoothie recipe that’s packed with healthy ingredients. There’s no easier way to get your recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables. So grab your reusable straw and enjoy!
Today, the United States observes Juneteenth, and Tuesday is National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada. These days provide an opportunity to reflect on the history of our two nations and the horrific treatment of Black and Indigenous people, so it feels appropriate to make owning our privilege this week’s Simple Living Sunday focus.
For the the past two Fridays, my posts have reflected on the environmental effects of our obsession with cars and convenience. Today, I follow up those posts with something a little different—a song that asks “When are we gonna wake up?” when it comes to climate change.
