feeling inspired.. would love everyone's input and ideas :)

So, I have almost finished my first year of university and am coming into a 3 month long break over summer. After a year of academic work and not being able to concentrate on much else I'm feeling hella inspired for creativeness over the break! Here are some of the things I would like to spend my time doing.

I love hooping and have given myself some goals etc with that

I would like to try to make my own natural deoderant successfully

I want to try and improve my music mixing skills as this is something I have really neglected lately

I would like to take up some sort of crafty activity though I am not sure what.. any ideas lovely people???

Apart from these few things I'm not too sure what else to spend my time doing. I would lovev any suggestions you have or things you enjoy doing with your spare time. Anything creative, healing, good for the mind and soul? I am just really looking to improve myself, my spirituality and put my time into something worthwhile.

Thanks for your help guys I appreciate anyone who has something to offer!

love n light!!

You could always learn to crochet. Maybe make some tams or stuffed animals or something. It's one of my favorite hobbies.

Thanks for the advice Ive found a couple of sites from people who say it worked but I will have a read over them at the time and see which one I think I can make successfully! Very keen to get rid of all the toxic substances we use everyday without even thinking twice

I used the above website and made my own natural deodorant with a good friend of mine. We didn't quite get the balance right, so it never fully hardened. I plan to try again when I get the ingredients (she was the one to buy them last time).

Thanks yeh I was thinking of learning to crochet and then eventually setting up an etsy to sell my creations on. how did you learn to make tams? is there anywhere on the internet i can learn?

love n light sista!

You could learn to knit as well. Make hemp jewelry. Ravelry is a great place to find patterns and stuff for both knitting and crocheting. YouTube is awesome for tutorials, if you're a visual learner.

I'm about to set up and Etsy or some sort of site to see if any of my stuff will sell. I have to gather up all the shit I've made and take pics of it first tho lol

change your diet and u wont ned deoderant

and go to a rainbow gathering theres a few regionals around now

I live in a tropical climate so I definitely need some sort of deoderant haha and I would love to go to a rainbow gathering but in Australia they are always down the south and it costs too much money to get there it is my dream to make it to one someday though!! My dad lives in America so I want to plan a time to go see him that matches with one of the gatherings over there I think it would be amazing!
