This Pom Pom bunting is super easy to make and is a fun way to decorate your room. I made two different strands using three different shades of wool. I bought the wool from Spotlight, the pom pom makers from Kmart and the string from Big W. Red Ted Art has a great pom pom YouTube tutorial (see below). All you do is make lots of pom poms then tie them onto the string and voila—pom pom bunting!

A healthy diet is an important part of your mental health toolkit because what you eat affects your physical and mental health. Christmas and New Year is traditionally a time of overindulging in unhealthy treats. Try to include lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains and protein in your diet - your body and mind will thank you. Limit sugar and saturated fats which are often found in fast foods. I'm not suggesting that you give up sugar and fast food altogether—I'm just suggesting you cut back a bit. If you do have a fast food, choose a small meal instead of a large one, choose a hamburger or wrap with lots of salad and skip the fries. Cutting out sugary soft drinks is great for your health. Try water with a slice of lemon, cucumber, or some berries in it.
