5 ways to unplug from technology
Hey readers,
Today is a national day of unplugging. So first of if you haven't heard the term unplug you may wonder what that mean. Well essential it means just not using technology (mainly your phone or computer) to have some time away from the screen to recharge your batteries and do things that are not needing to use your devices such as running a bath, playing a board game, reading a book or simply having a chat with a loved one.
It is found that if we spend a lot of time on social media it can make us feel negative with feelings of missing out, not being good enough, and so on and so forth.
That is why coming away from the screen gives us a break and time to just stop and think about what is happening around us physically rather than in the world of the internet.
So here are my 5 tips on how to unplug from technology.
1. Alternative activities.
I often pull out my phone when I don't know what to do with myself. One of the best ways to unplug is to simply find better things to do. Whether it's spending time with friends, reading, or a hobby, engaging with the world around you is an easy way to stay away from technology.
2. Put down your phone at mealtimes.
When I eat with certain friends and family members, we put our phones in the middle of the table. Anyone who simply has to check their phone gets lighthearted public shaming.
3. Read a book.
Too much screen time is wreaking havoc on our eyes, posture, and brains. Taking breaks from the screen to read a book is a nice way to still get information and enjoyment, but without the physical strain induced by an electronic device. If you like to read in bed, prop a pillow behind your head so you are not looking down at the book, this ensures your neck is in a neutral position.
4. Airplane mode.
When you need a mental break throughout the day, take advantage of your phone’s “airplane mode.” Uninterrupted time is critical not only to ensure you complete tasks but also to unleash your creativity. Your brain needs time to think, ponder and plan. And you need some peace!
5. Notifications.
To avoid information overload and apps piquing your interest each time your screen lights up or your phone beeps or buzzes, turn off notifications on all apps that don’t require immediate action.
To start, some apps that are easy to turn off are news apps, store apps, social media, and notifications of random apps that require no attention (for instance camera apps). This will lighten up your phone and make you less distracted.
5 benefits of unplugging.
This will instantly enable you to become more present in your life and that, in turn, will do the following;
* Strengthen interpersonal communication and your relationships.
* Boost creativity and focus.
* De-stress and calm anxiety or fear.
* Improve gratitude.
* Create inner peace and joy.
Try to incorporate these tips into your daily routine and life will suddenly become more engaging and less stressful!

Figure Out What You Can About Freebies Today!
You'll want to learn about freebies because they can save you time and money. They're a great way to get familiar with a product. Plus, they are free for the customer and so they are something that a lot of people will enjoy.
There are a lot of freebies you can get, you just have to know how to search for them and use websites like bestfreestuff.co.uk. In that way, you'll be sure to get a great idea as to whether or not you're getting a freebie that will get to you in time for it to be useful. Don't order a bunch of freebies that are from an older promotion, try to find those that just came out. That way, you can be sure that they didn't run out and that you can get your free items as soon as they come out for you.
When you get a freebie you need to make sure you check over it as soon as possible. If it's a food item, for instance, it may not last that long. A sample size isn't going to be as big as a regular portion in the way of food or products you can use that expire after a certain amount of time. There should be a date on everything, so follow that for the best results. Don't use anything you get that accidentally was opened or anything of that nature so that you can be sure to be safe.
Now it should be more clear to you what you need to know about freebies for them to be something you can enjoy. There are quite a few out there that will meet your needs in the right way. Just be careful to select what is going to work the best for you!

Why you should visit a theme park as a family.
Hey readers,
If you have been thinking about taking your family to a theme park and wondering whether to go or not then let me outline the reasons to go.
1. Step into a different world.
One of the reasons to visit a theme park is the simple fact that you can step into a different world. You can leave your worries for a few hours to escape into the world of having fun trying out new rides. It is like being a big kid again but this time you are with the whole family to enjoy it with.
2. Spend time with the family.
Going to a theme park takes a day to explore and it is a great way to come together as a family to have a fun-packed day out. Going to a theme park helps create fun memories that will last a lifetime. There is something for all the family to enjoy whether it is a thrilling or just relaxing theme parks have it covered.
3. Burn calories.
For a healthy benefit visiting a theme park is a great way to burn calories as you tend to have long hours at the theme park. Walking around from one side to the next, you can easily push past 10,000 steps of your step allowance.
Theme parks are usually quite large areas with different sections meaning you might walk to one area and then the next to get on to your favorite rides.
4. Conquer your fears.
Not everyone is an adrenaline junkie and loves the upside-down and fast rides that theme parks cater for. That doesn't mean one who may be a little timid to thrillers ride can not go on one and conquer the fear because sometimes in life you have to do something out of your comfort zone.
5. Escape stress.
Life can be tough trying to get through each day with the worries that we have. It can really be mundane and draining so it is good sometimes to take yourself away from the situation to have a break from the constant stress you have in life.
That is why theme parks are the perfect day out as it is a great ambiance around other families having fun and you can relax with your family whilst at the theme park.
So there you have my reasons why you should visit a theme park. Have I missed any reasons that you think would be good to support the idea that theme parkas are great for families? Love to hear your thoughts in the comment section down below.

How to make moon sand.
Hey readers,
Looking for some sensory fun then look no further than this easy activity you can do at home. It is really simple to make.
Ingredients.
* 8 tbsp of cornflour.
* 1 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil.
* A few drops of food colouring.
How to make the moon sand.
1. Put the flour in the bowl, then slowly stir in the oil and food colouring.
2. Rub the oil and colouring through the flour with your fingertips, as if you were making a pasty until the mixture feels sandy and no oil is visible.
If the mixture feels too dry, add a few more drops of oil, or if the mixture is too soft, add some more flour. The consistency should be dry, shapeable clay, and crumbles fairly easily squeezed.
