Why You Shouldn’t Look Up To Successful People All The Time – Stuart Danker

What’s the secret to success? Is it about hard work, or does it come down to being in the right place at the right time? In this thought-provoking post, Stuart looks at survivorship bias and the role it plays in our success.

That’s the thing about survivorship bias. We don’t know which elements truly played a role in your success. And while we could give praise to your rigorous training, we could also be overlooking your luck of the draw.

Essential oils: a primer – Micro of the Macro

I love essential oils. There are so many different applications for their use. In this primer, Lisa looks at the history of essential oils and why they have the effect that they do!

There is evidence of plant elixir use in Egypt, Ancient Greece, and past- & present-day India, where they are a remedial element of Ayurveda.

10 benefits of shopping at second-hand shops – The Yorkshire Dreamer

Second-hand shopping definitely doesn’t carry the stigma it used to. This post outlines 10 great reasons to give second-hand shops a try.

I make better decisions when shopping at second-hand shops. I don’t just buy pieces for the sake of it; I question my decision more and inspect the pieces more to ensure I am getting a good quality piece that I actually want, not just because it’s there.
