These are some super simple life changes that will help to save the environment.

1. Use bars of soap instead of liquid 

This saves tons of plastic and there are many natural and gentle brands.

3. Use Ecosia instead of Google

Ad revenue pays for trees! Every 45 searches you'll plant a tree!

4. Switch to a menstrual cup

Switching will save you money and decrease your chances of TSS.

7. Switch to a different brand of toilet paper

Who Gives A Crap is made with recycled materials and the company donates 50% of their profits to help improve sanitation in the developing world.

8. Take your own bags to the grocery store

What are you doing with all those extra plastic bags anyways?

9. Invest in some dryer balls

As young people, we typically don't use luxury items like dryer sheets. However, dryer balls last forever and with just a few drops of your favorite essential oil, your laundry will smell amazing.

10. Buy reusable produce bags

Again, saves you from using so much plastic!

11. Get a cute water bottle

Not only will this help you use less plastic, but it will also encourage you to drink more water. There are so many cute designs!

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet.

And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
