How You Can Start Saving
If you’re still living at home, and your parents are flipping the bill on your food, electricity, maybe even your phone and your car if you have one, take full advantage of it. Take that time to save your money and create projects that could generate more income for yourself. Even if you still have some overhead at home (such as I did), it’s still most likely less than you’d be spending out in the world. Thank your parents for covering any of your living expenses. When I got my license, I had to pay a portion of my car insurance. Later, I also would have to pay for my clothes (which I cheated a little by just putting certain clothes on my Christmas list), and I’d pay a portion of my personal electricity use. Was I spending $150 per month on bills when I was 18? Yes, but it was still a fraction of what I’d need to pay to live on my own. This is probably the best way to start saving without needing to work full time, though I always recommend you can work full time if you can. Just don't compromise your education—that’s still important.

Art Journalling: A Visual Diary
When I was little, I used to keep a 'diary.' You know, one of those ones with the lock and key with Disney princesses on the front cover that you'd get at your local Dollar Store? When I got older, I kept a journal, similar idea, but at this point it was probably just a floral journal since I had grown out of the whole obsessed with princess’s phase. Now, after endless tries and failures of journaling, I have moved on to a 'Visual Diary' or as I like to call it, my Art Journal. And this choice has improved my everyday life greatly. In this post I will explain why to keep an art journal, when to art journal, and what you can put in it.

How to Sell Your Old Clothes for Money!
When I was younger, my mom used to make me throw my old clothes that were too big or small for me anymore in a trash bag. She'd take our enormous collections that we gathered to the local Goodwill store and donate them. We didn't really care where the clothes went or what happened to them—it just served as a place to dispose of the unwanted clothes. My mom did this annually and we moved through lots of clothes.

Top 10 Smart Ways to Organize and Upgrade Your Garage
A garage is one of the places in your home which can have multiple purposes, and while it sounds like a really desirable quality which will help you organize your life better, in practice that usually means your garage is heavily cluttered. Not only is it annoying when you have no idea where you’ve put away your hiking boots or the almighty Phillips Bits, but the piled up garden tools and Christmas decorations are consuming so much space that they are seriously threatening to collapse onto your car one day.
