I don’t know if it was my move towards a more minimal life, my increased interest in being an eco-warrior or just a part of growing up, but over the last few years I’ve been looking at all the junk I buy and really questioning my sanity. I’ve streamlined my purchases and cut a lot of unnecessary items out of my life and I feel a lot better for it. Here’s a list of 10 of the things I no longer buy.

I’m a firm believer that every penny you spend is a vote. Cruelty free over tested on animals, vegan over beef, tequila over gin…every time you purchase something, you’re telling the bigwigs sat around a giant table somewhere in New York that product A is worth investing in more than product B.

Little did I know that actually getting to live out that dream by spending not one, but two magical days at the elephant sanctuary last month would be even more incredible than I ever could have imagined.

Whether it’s a month spent backpacking through South America or a fortnight whiled away on the beach at an all-inclusive hotel, holidays are amazing! Unfortunately, they almost always start with hurtling through the air in a giant tin can with limited legroom and questionable bathroom facilities.
