๐Ÿ“š A study from the University of Exeter revealed that including houseplants in a workspace can improve productivity by 15%. Houseplants were found to reduce stress and aim memory retentionโ , as well as the following:โ 
โ 
- clean the air: Clearing harmful toxins out of the air will help you and your family to breathe easy. Rubber plants remove harmful toxins and will become more efficient at cleaning the air as they grow. Peace Lilies are also believed to improve air quality by as much as 60%.โ 
โ 
- boost your focus & productivity while working from home and choose a Bamboo Palm or Golden Pothos.โ 
โ 
- improve your sleep: Aloe Vera and Jasmine are great picks for bedroom houseplants. Aloe Vera produces oxygen at night to help combat insomnia and improve sleep quality. While the scent of can help reduce anxiety levels to help you drift off.โ 
โ 
- lower stress levels: scented Lavender or a Snake Plant can help do the trick. is known for its stress-busting properties. It slows the heart rate and lowers blood pressure.โ 
โ 
A Snake Plant is also believed to help reduce anxiety. It absorbs a lot of carbon dioxide so is ideal for aiding respiratory problems or helping with headaches.โ 
โ 
โ˜• Finally, a reminder that today is also - so this is your cue to grab a cuppa, maybe sit next to your house plants (if you have any) and have a moment to yourself.โ

๐Ÿ“Œ Save this one for yourself โ˜๏ธโ 
โ 
Decluttering your home can be achieved over time if you just break it down into simple steps.

Here are 3 methods you can choose from to get you started: โ 
โ 
๐Ÿ“… Throw or give one item away each day ๐Ÿ“…โ 
โ 
This would remove 365 items every single year from your home. Increase this number once it gets too easy.โ 
โ โ 
โ 
โœ… Take the 12-12-12 challenge โŽโ 
โ 
Locate 12 items to throw away, 12 to donate, and 12 to be returned to their proper home.โ 
โ โ 
โ 
๐Ÿ“ฆ Use the Four-Box Method ๐Ÿ“ฆโ 
โ 
Get four boxes and label them: bin, give, keep, or re-locate. Enter any room in your home and place each item into one of the following boxes. Donโ€™t skip a single item, no matter how insignificant you may think it is. โ 
โ โ 
โ 
โ 
โฒ๏ธ No matter which you choose, if youโ€™re new to decluttering, you can slowly build momentum with just doing one of these for five minutes a day โฒ๏ธโ

Real or fakeโ€ฆ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿ‘‰ swipe to find out!

๐ŸŽ„There's a lot of conflicting information around the real vs fake Christmas tree debate. ๐ŸŽ„โ 
โ 
๐ŸŽ„ Long story short, real trees are better ๐Ÿ‘†โ 
โ 
Here's why...โ ๐Ÿค“โ 
โ 
According to the , a two-metre artificial tree has a carbon footprint of around 40kg, more than ten times that of a real tree! ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ โ โ 
โ 
In other words, youโ€™d need to re-use an artificial tree 10 times to negate its carbon footprint, yet itโ€™s estimated that fake trees are used only four times, regardless of improving quality.โ ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ ๐Ÿคจโ โ โ 
โ 
Locally sourced real Christmas trees take around 10-12 years to grow to the most popular size of 6 feet. During that time, they provide a habitat for wildlife and capture carbon from the atmosphere. and when they're harvested, 2-3 more are usually planted! ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿฟ๏ธ โ โ 
โ .โ 
โ 
Be sure to dispose of your real tree consciously, doing so will significantly reduce the carbon footprint by up to 80% (around 3.5kg CO2e). โ ๐Ÿ‘โ
