Blogmas day 9- Christmas isn't always great for everyone- Ways we can give back this Christmas

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,

 I am very fortunate to receive lots of amazing presents under the Christmas tree every year from clothes to electronics. However, i'm sure we've seen countless adverts on TV talking about some of the hardships some people worldwide and in our local communities have to go through. And whilst it's amazing to receive such amazing presents from the people we love, we have to remember that some people don't get that luxury. Consequently, it's always important to think of the ways we can give back. Here are a few examples!

  1. Donate food to a food bank. As I've mentioned in my Blogmas day 3 post, me and my family gave a can of peas to the food bank on the day we bought our Christmas tree. A can of peas is not a lot but it's practical and its also something. A kind man was handing out a leaflet about the food bank and instead of walking past him we decided it was a good idea to give back. I know that there are some people struggling in the area I live I. Even though they work, some days in the week, they do rely on a food bank to provide food for their family.
  2. Buy a gift for a family who can't afford it. I know Heart Radio hosts a gift giving tree in the Grafton centre, Cambridge. I'm not entirely sure but my family is trying to see if we can buy a present for one of the families this year. If so, we've decided on a family with a teenager since they may want something that their parents cannot afford.
  3. Donate to homeless charities. There has been a few problems with directly donating money to a homeless person since they're not always reliable but we can give to homelessness charities since they know who is the right person to donate to. By donating, you're making someone's Christmas just a little bit better so it's worth doing.
  4. Be thankful for what you already have. It's a simple thing but it makes the world a difference in how you act when receiving gifts from others. Just being thankful that you were fortunately born into a family who could provide you with the things you wanted is the best thing you can do. 
Are you giving back this Christmas? Let me know in the comments below and I'll be sure to reply to them. I ♡ hearing from you!

See you next time,

Bye,

XOX, Juliette

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Recently, I watched a video made by the YouTuber, Niomi Smart, on how she felt the internet has changed over the years. If you don't know the background of Niomi Smart, then she is basically a well-known and well-established YouTuber, who has been making videos about healthy eating, veganism, charity work, and ethical living for around 8 or 9 years now. She graduated from university with a law degree but she initially started a blog to voice her thoughts on fashion and to share her popular lifestyle content with her viewers and she then grew into a successful internet sensation. She was a part of the labelled "Brit Crew" group along with Zoe Sugg, Alfie Deyes, Joe Sugg, Tanya Burr, Jim Chapman, Louise Pentland, and Marcus Butler. She also released her book, Eat Smart, in 2016 and continues to co-run her healthy food box, Sourced Box, with Marcus Butler. With over 1.5 million subscribers on her channel, she continues t...

Winter's Avian flu + chicken lockdown - Blogmas day 8 - Lifestyle Monday

By -
  Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  Unfortunately, there's been a new virus outbreak. Not the one currently happening in London and Kent, although that is awful too, but the outbreak of the Avian flu amongst all birds. I don't exactly know when the Avian flu was first brought to government attention but I do know that around the 11th of December, people started to talk about the possibility of having to quarantine their poultry in order to prevent the risk of further infection. If you don't know what the Avian flu is, it's a virus that transcends down from aquatic birds worldwide and it has the ability to infect domestic birds, poultry, and potentially other animals like humans, although it's not really a high risk. Symptoms of the Avian flu in birds can be lack of co-ordination, purple discoloration of the legs, nasal discharge, lack of energy or appetite, diarrhoea, and swelling of the eyes or the head. Other more serious symptoms include dea...

Time is precious

By jujupage1 -
Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post, Today, I will be talking about time. Yesterday evening, me and my family were talking about this at the table. We were talking about how my mum always cooks even when she is busy. Most people when they are busy order a take away or buy ready-made meals. It shocks me how everyone has the same 24 hours in a day but some manage even when they are busy to cook. Do people cook because they have time or just can be bothered? Nowadays, we have a rich source of information all around us. So we have the power to look up 5 minute meals or even meal prepping. Technically, there is no excuse. So why don't people do it. There's a saying that the people who are bothered and who are dedicated will always find the time to do something. Time is precious so don't waste it, What do you spend most of your time doing? Let me know in the comments below. See you next time, Bye Links: Instagram📷- https://www.instagram.com/jujupage1/ ...

The difference between the conscious and the subconscious - Writing Wednesday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Recently, my mum told me to take a look a Mel Robbins's work because she talks a lot about human psychology. If you don't know her story, Mel Robbins was a well-known TV show host on American channels like CNN and has now become a motivational influencer on the internet. She faced a lot of financial difficulty trying to pursue her career in the TV and entertainment industry and this caused her marriage to become unstable and eventually she became severely depressed. This was to the point when she even struggled to get out of bed in the morning. After releasing her book, the 5 Second Rule which motivated her to get up out of bed every morning, Mel Robbins now inspires other people with mental health issues. Whilst finding out more about Mel Robbins, I came across a video that she made about the conscious and subsconscious part of the brain during therapy. I found this video really interesting because for me, it expla...
