  1. Try a new look with your makeup
  2. Visit your local charity shop. Great place for vintage plates, books etc. Why not take something to donate as well. 
  3. Bake a cake and take it to your friend's house.
  4. Donate or sell shoes you just never wear anymore.
  5. Doodle. Grab a felt or pen and draw an everyday item. Take pleasure in the simplicity of your design.

  10. Use up those gorgeous fabric scraps to craft it into something beautiful
