How To Detox Your Life

Recently I moved into a new apartment and I told my best friend that I needed a life detox before I start classes. Luckily moving into a new apartment was a perfect step in the right direction. While moving into my new apartment I was able to get rid of all the clutter and things I was holding onto (I'm somewhat of a secret hoarder) in the apartment and I was also able to go through my closet and if I hadn't worn it in a year I donated it/sold it. Also if you can't tell this life detox includes my blog, hoping to make changes soon! I have 4 things that I do to help detox my life, I hope these work for you as well!

1. Clean Out the Clutter
Go through and get rid of things that are catching dust in your house. I clean out my closet and if I haven't worn that item in a year its out. You can donate or sell them. Next I clean out my makeup collection, I have posted expiration dates for makeup so you can decided weather you need to save or toss. Having a clean house always takes the stress out of my life.

2. Get Rid of Toxic People
I know this can be hard if the person is a good friend, but if this person doesn't add value to your life they don't need to be in your life. Negative people, judgmental people, and people who put you down do not deserve to be in your life. You need to kick them to the curb. Spend time with positive people because it will help you have a more positive look on life and make you feel good!

3. Me Time
After all that work you need some time for yourself. Pamper yourself, read a book, go on a walk, catch up on some much needed sleep. Take an hour, a day, a week, a month off! However long you need to feel fresh and rejuvenated!

4. Get the Ball Rolling!
After all this you should feel great and want to get things going! Start setting goals for yourself whether those goals are a week or a month out. This is the time to start a new chapter in your life!

Hopefully these tips help you start or inspire you to detox your life. After these "steps" I always feel better about my life and can finally think clearly and it motivates me to get things going!

Instagram Account to Follow: @pen_friend

I'm a huge instagram lover. I'm one of those people that probably take instagram to serious. I make sure all my pictures are "instagram worthy" and edited perfectly. When I'm bored and finish scrolling through my feed I usually click over to explore to see what insta has suggested for me. Recently they have started doing "based on people you follow" or "based on a photo you liked" which is how I stumbled across penfriend.

I recently posted about my new obsession of typography so when i stumbled upon penfriend I was sold. I scrolled through almost every one of her posts fascinated by her amazing skill and creative quotes. Penfriend is run by a woman named Sharna who is a graphic designer who has always been infatuated with typography. Her penmanship is beautiful, I love looking at everything she creates. Her prints are filled with inspiring quotes.

From her instagram I visited her website and found a couple prints I have on my wish list. She is an Australian based artist which means shipping to the states is $15 and for a college student like me I must spend my money wisely. But I do have them written on a wish list for possibly my birthday or if I every have money to splurge! She also posts when she's having a sale so thats always a great time to buy a print!

Follow penfriend on instagram at @pen_friend and check out her website to view all of her lovely prints on sale.
