- Pick a place 🌳
Ready to get planting? Hold on—A bit of planning can save you some headaches later on. Make sure everyone is on board with the spot for the garden. Find a place that will be easy for everyone to visit and has plenty of sunshine. Also check with the city to see what you need to do before getting started, like getting permission or filling out a form.
- Tidy Up ⛏️
Tidy up the spot for your garden ahead of time. Throw away trash, create an area for storing tools, and set up a small sign or bulletin board displaying the name of the garden. Don’t go it alone; it’s meant to be a community effort!
- Design 🌺
We all know the saying: Measure twice, cut once. In other words, think ahead. Get together with your community and agree on how the garden should look. Talk about which parts of the garden will belong to each family, and keep thorny plants and sharp tools away from any area for children. Agree on rules for the garden. Are some plants not allowed? Will the garden be organic? Can pets come in? Post decisions on the garden bulletin board.

- 💆♀️ Conditioner is Your Superpower
People spend a lot of money and time picking out the right shampoo but then skimp on conditioner. Even worse is rushing through the process with a “2-in-1” concoction. Instead, invest in a good leave-in conditioner. Conditioner time is you time! Put in your conditioner and take advantage of the time to relax before you rinse it out. Read a book, chat with a friend or do a mini-meditation. It’s all good.
- 💆♀️ Get a Massage
Most of us carry our tension, stress and pain around in our bodies. A good massage can help you unwind and feel great. And a little lifehack: when you feel great, you look great. A professional massage is the best choice, but even a quick shoulder massage from a friend or family member can work wonders.
- 💄 Beauty is a Skill
Looking refreshed isn’t just a matter of luck. Finding the right products for your skin and hair type is hard work. Learning to manage stress takes time. Cooking healthy meals is harder than grabbing fast food. But you can do it! The best way to continue is to work with a professional stylist or consultant that can wrap up all these loose threads for you: finding clothes that accent your look, how to use the right products, what to eat and how to take care of yourself.
- 📓 Gratitude Journal

- 📓Advice to Yourself
Suppose you had the chance to give one piece of advice to yourself 5 years ago. What would you say? Do you think people can really learn from advice or do we always have to learn the hard way?
- Start a Community Garden 🌻
Bring your neighborhood together with a beautiful outdoor space. It only takes a bit of planning to brighten up the street, grow veggies for a fresh salad, and connect with the people around you.
- Funding 💰
The more people that contribute to the community garden, the more it will feel like it belongs to everyone. Some people can donate supplies, others time, and others money. Let everyone know that anything helps. 💡Quick tip: a lot of local governments have grants for community gardens, be sure to check out if you qualify.
- Planting 🍅
Plan a day to open the garden. Invite everyone to start planting. Brighten up your garden with some flowers as well as some fresh veggies for your kitchen. Got a gnome? A garden’s not complete without some decorations. Ask around or hit up some garage sales.
- Maintenance 📋
Once your garden is set up, enjoy! Keeping up the garden can be a lot of work. Set up some clean-up days at the end of each season, and schedule days for the neighborhood to enjoy spending time together. And when the time comes to harvest, enjoy that salad!

- 📓 A Pat on the Back
We all have something we can be proud of. It can be as simple as remembering when you helped out a friend or a major professional accomplishment. Take a minute to feel good about yourself. What causes and conditions led to your success? How would you advise others to replicate them?
- 🧘♀️ Take a Breather
Stress = tension = wrinkles 😱 As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In this case, it’s dealing with the stress of daily life before it wreaks havoc on your skin. There’s no need to don a robe and head off to the mountains, or even use a fancy word like meditation. Give yourself 10 minutes a day to relax. Observe your breathing. Focus on your bodily sensations. Let everything else go.
- 🥗 Eat Fresh
Garbage in, Garbage out. Alas. If you won the genetic lottery, congrats. For the rest of us, we have to really focus on eating clean in order to see results. Don’t go wild. Make gradual, sustainable changes to your diet. This can be as simple as replacing a stash of unhealthy snacks with carrot sticks and hummus. Once that sticks, swap take out for a home cooked meal. Use the 80/20 rule to cheat a bit. A splurge or two a week is ok if it keeps you on the wagon. And don’t forget to drink water! Dehydration is a skin killer.
- 🧴 Pamper Your Skin
Moisture! Moisture! Moisture! Stuck in a dry office all day? Invest in a quality moisturizer. Yes, invest. A little bit of effort now will pay dividends for decades. Whether you’re in an Arizona summer or North Dakota winter, use the proper gear to protect your face — a good hat, scarf, sunscreen and a mask after a day out in the elements.
