An awesome break-up anthem!

Christmas is a month away so I thought I would share some gift ideas that are under $10. These would be great for your friends. I did a manicure/pedicure jar, a stationary jar and the classic lolly/chocolate jars. I'm sure you could think of a lot more. I bought the jars at Big W - they were six for $6. 

Stationery jar - Total cost $9
Jar - $1 from Big W
Sticky notes - $2 from K-Mart
Highlighters - $2 from K-Mart
​Coloured pens - $2 from K-Mart

Chocolate or lolly jar
The price varies depending on your candy or chocolate of choice.
This would look great with:

• an assortment of jelly lollies (jellybeans, snakes etc.)
• Smarties or M&Ms
• candy canes
• Roses or Favourites
• any fun size bars (Mars, Kit Kats etc.)
• Maltezers

Some other suggestions for gifts in a jar:

• home made treats
• sugar free cacao balls (see recipe on 12/11/2020)
• hair accessories (scrunchies, hair clips, hair elastics)
• jewellery
• painting kit (mini paint tubes, brushes)
• DIY friendship bracelet kit - cotton thread, charms, instructions
• inspirational quotes (handwrite some of your favourite quotes or type them up on the computer)
• 100 things I love about you (handwritten or typed on the computer)
• pamper pack (mini face mask, cleanser, toner, moisturiser, cotton pads)
• sustainable jar (reusable straw, reusable product bags, wax wrap)

I've seen the "Look up" advertisements on a couple of buses recently so I decided to find out what it was all about. The Look Up movement is based on research by neuroscientist, Dr Fiona Kerr. We spend so much of our lives looking down that we miss out on really living. The Look Up campaign encourages us to put down our phones and look up, to engage with the environment and those around us. According to their website, "scientists have discovered looking up is good for our brains, our bodies, our relationships, and our shared experience of the world." You can find out more at www.lookup.org.au. I took the photo above on my morning walk today. Before you reach for your phone, look up!

There's a reason I didn't call this fun facts about your period - it's not much fun. Hormones released during Your period can give you Diarrhoea, cramping, bowel pain, nausea, vomiting, headaches and migraines. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications can be helpful. If you prefer a more natural approach, make sure you include probiotics and fibre in your diet - lots of wholegrain, fruit and vegetables. Also limit salt, dairy, sugar, spicy foods, and caffeine. Regular exercise can be helpful too. If you any of these symptoms are seriously impacting your life, see you doctor.
