More time because you don't waste it caring for and organising stuff. 
More space because you don't fill it with objects of marginal value.

The kitchen has always been my biggest problem area when it comes to plastic packaging. Buying individually packed items, storing things in cling film, cartons that can’t be recycled, and the list goes on…

In this post (which is connected to the video below) I’ll show (and link) you some of the swaps I’ve made.

Every year I love to set some personal goals for myself, alongside the obvious career/study ones. One of the things that I decided to do this year was produce less waste. This is still a learning process for me, and something I’ve been working my way toward for a while now.

Heading into winter I wanted to try whipping up my own lip balm from a bunch of ingredients I had in the cupboard…

Sometimes a nice, relaxing soak in the bath with some epsom salts is exactly what the doctor ordered to help reduce muscle fatigue and provide your body with some magnesium. Add some lavender into the mix and you’ve got yourself one relaxing bath brew.

Makeup and all the products we need to take it off can definitely impact the wallet and the bathroom shelf haha. I’ve been messing with a few different recipes to find an eye makeup remover that works best for me

While I was over there I figured we were staying in and eating at so many places that I wanted to write about and recommend my favourites, something which a video doesn't allow me to do. So keep scrolling to find out where I stayed, where I trained (because you know I can't go two weeks without hitting up the gym), where we ate, and what we did.

FIRSTLY, wow, it's been a while. Life got out of control (some massive projects I'm working on, and cannot wait to share oh my goodness), but I've finally had time to put this post together!

It feels like I can't be kept away from Japan. This trip was my second visit within 7 months, and I'm already looking at booking a third. This time I travelled with one of my closest friends, who is also named Rachel. You can find her YouTube here and her Instagram here. Rachel-Lee and I began our trip in Tokyo, went on to Osaka, then Hiroshima, and finally back to Tokyo.
