How You Can Make Like Greta And Campaign For Change

Greta Thunberg is only 17, but she is making waves for climate change and campaigning like never before. This is a girl that wants to make real change, not only by using her voice but by taking action. She has also come under fire from many big names and media outlets, and handled it so well. 

In comparison, it can seem like we’re not doing enough to help climate change – the ideas below will help you to make like Greta and effectively campaign for change. 

Donate

Donating is simple, but it works. There are many charities out there who badly want change and to prevent climate change. By donating even a little bit of money regularly, you could make an impact. 

Become A Friend Of The Earth

Make changes in the things you do to become more eco friendly. Demonstrate to others what we should all be doing to make a big change in the world. One person really can make a difference. 

Share Issues On Your Social Pages

Don’t be afraid to share issues and what you truly believe matters on your social pages. Your voice is more powerful than you think – you just need to ignore the naysayers. Anybody that doesn’t want you to share your voice is projecting their own fears and insecurities onto you.

The Place to Get Your Holiday Attire

The Place to Get Your Holiday Attire

Looking for that perfect ugly sweater, funky suit or dress for the Christmas party? What about getting a novel suit or dress for the New Year? How about something to wear for the football season or summer fireworks?

I got the perfect wrap dress from Shinesty for the holiday/winter season!

The Quality

I was very pleasantly surprised by the weight of the garment. It is a good thick material that I have no fear of people seeing through. The craftsmanship of the dress is on point. And with it being a wrap dress, I looks as if it’s tailor-made just for me. I thought this might be a one-time novelty item, but with the great quality and versatility, I will be able to wear this dress again and again.

My Verdict

I would highly recommend getting any of your holiday or novelty attire needs from Shinesty.

I will certainly be shopping with them again! Look for upcoming photos of me in the dress on my Instagram

Refresh Your Safe Driving Technique This Winter

Refresh Your Safe Driving Technique This Winter

We spend a lot of time in our cars, especially over the holidays as we travel to visit relatives. But how many of us have bothered to brush up on our technique since first passing our tests? Things are changing all the time on the roads, so refreshing your memory on best practice is massively helpful. It can also save you money, as a lot of safer driving techniques also use less fuel, making them good for you, your family and the planet. Safer drivers can also benefit from lower car insurance premiums, especially if you opt for ‘black box insurance’, which monitors your driving patterns using telematics software, installed via a GPS tracker or sometimes an app on your smartphone. It’s the same technology used by fleet management services for driver safety training, and can save you a lot of money. So, how do you make sure you’re driving safely this winter?

Stick To A Sensible Speed

Speed is one of the easiest factors for any driver to control, and it’s also the one that makes the most difference when trying to drive more safely and fuel-efficiently. Speed is named as the most common factor in fatal road accidents, so you must take care to alter the speed you do to take note of things like the road and the weather conditions. At this time of year, you’re more likely to be driving in challenging conditions such as heavy rain, sleet, storms or snow and ice, so really take a moment to adjust your speed down and if your vehicle has a speed limiter consider using that so you don’t accidentally creep up. It’s also a good idea to do a winter safety check on your car before setting off.

Minimise Distractions

When we pay attention to anything other than the road ahead, we are compromising our focus and introducing danger into our ride. Although driving while talking on a handheld phone or while texting are now against the law in a lot of places, research suggests it’s just as dangerous – although not illegal – to take a hands-free telephone call on the road. It’s a better idea to switch your phone into flight mode while driving so that you can’t be distracted by incoming calls. If you have small children, backseat squabbling can also be dangerous, so make sure to pack plenty of activities, games or a movie for them to watch on a tablet – you can get car activity trays for kids or tablet holders to stop them dropping it.

Take Regular Breaks

If you have a long journey to make, you need to ensure that you factor in enough breaks along the way. Research shows that the tiredness levels of a driver following just a few hours of night-time journeying has the same effect as being over the drink-driving limit. If you’re sleepy, your reaction times suffer and your decision making is impaired. So make it a priority to stop and stay hydrated regularly throughout any long journey.

Prepping Car For the Winter Ahead

Prepping Car For the Winter Ahead


Winter conditions can cause hazardous roadways. But forgetting to prep your car for the season ahead can cause some headaches along with some potential hazards.

Check the fluids



Make sure your car has all its fluids. Running out of oil can be detrimental to the car. Although, running out of windshield washer fluid can be just as scary when your windshield is covered with salt and sludge splashed across your window while traveling down a highway.

If you are unsure of what fluids are needed or where they go, stop by to see a local mechanic or visita full service has station. They can certainly help.

Check your lights



This might be a two person job… But be sure to check all of the lights on the car. Winter can bring dark nights, fog and snowy whiteouts. Replace any lights that aren’t working. And be sure your headlights are shine l shining as bright as possible. Use the headlight cleaner solution, or to bring your headlights back to peek condition look into headlight restoration wipes.

Check your tires

Check your tire tread before winter to prevent sliding. Using the penny test will help tell you if you need new tires. Insert a penny, Abe’s head facing dow into the tread, if you can see the top of Abe Lincoln’s head you probably need new tires.

Pack the trunk



Making sure the trunk has the usual… Spare tire, jumper cables, flares, extra fluids, etc is important. But in the winter make sure you also pack a blanket, gloves, snow pants, rock salt or cat litter, water and snacks just in case you get stuck somewhere. Some folks recommend a small snow shovel and tire chains depending where you live or travel.

Prepping the car for winter doesn’t have to be over extensive like, detailing the paint job or coating the under carriage. Those are personal preferences. But all cars need a little prep to help prevent certain potential hazards. Have a safe and happy season!
