Etsy Finds... Nursing!

Hey All!

I hope you are all well... as some of you may know, I've been busy studying nursing at uni! I'm into my second semester and I'm absolutely loving it! (and having a distinction average helps as well... XD)

So it should come as no surprise that today's Etsy finds are nursing themed! Please check out each shop using the link below the pic :)

Also, as it is now semester break, expect some tutorials to pop up their heads soon! I've mostly been designing/sketching things recently, which isn't very tutorial-y... but I shall endeavour to give you a craft tute before too long!

Goodbye for now to you all, and to all of the future and current nurses out there - enjoy!

Hints and Tips - hanging towels without a towel rack

Hey!

So I live in a small room in a boarding house, which I absolutely love to bits! However, we have shared bathroom facilities, and my room has no towel rack, so I was originally stuck with soggy towels and nowhere to hang and dry them! This is obviously an issue, as not only can soggy towels harvest harmful bacteria, they can grow mold, smell, and leave you with no dry towels to use! It took me a little while, but I figured out a way to hang my towels so that they could dry out fully and properly.

You will need a clothes hanger and peg for each towel (and that's it!)!

1. Lay out your towel horizontally

2. Place the clothes hanger in the middle of the towel, with the hook above the towel's hem

3. Fold each end of the towel over the arms of the hanger

4. Peg together to hold it in place and hang them up!

Voila! An easy way to hang your wet towels, so that all of your towel is dry and hygienic to use again!

What's one of your simple tips to improvise and make-do? I would love to hear them!

Frugal student life - hints and tips for students, boarders and parents!

Hey all!

So I heard it's back to school for my Northern Hemisphere contingent, and I thought I would chip in with my own tips for living frugally as or with a student.

I have been living as a student boarder in shared accommodation with 40 other students for three months now, and have picked up many hints and tips about how to stretch my tiny bank account to last me, and I still live very, very comfortably!

In this blog series, I will look at all aspects of student life including education, board and lodgings, employment, entertainment, personal health and wellbeing and much more! So head back here on Sunday when I post Frugal Student Life - Hints and Tips for Students, Boarders and Parents part one - Education!

Is there anything you would like to see covered in this series? Or do you have a handy frugal living tip to share? Comment below, I would love to hear from you!
