June is going to be Art & Science Journal Issue 1...
Just watched a TED video about doing something new for 30 days. The next 30 days and a little bit will be on making Art & Science Journal Issue 1. The layout will be quick 200 word articles about an artist and then images of their work. Probably 4-5 of these in the whole issue. If you are an artist and you’re down with me emailing you questions shoot me an email! I need people to...

quick update
it’s been three weeks into my buy nothing new for a year. I read somewhere that it takes 21 days to create a new habit - so far so good. I’ve noticed that I’m getting a thrill from not buying. whenever I think about buying something, and don’t, the reward part of my brain goes off - good moods! I’ve only bought experiences (a coffee with a friend, going out for...

where do you go!
inner soul yoga! I use to go to Moksha but I like how inner soul doesn’t have mirrors, and it’s cheap - $89 for a month unlimited. best price in town! :)

Just found out I got the position of events coordinator at the University of Ottawa’s Gallery 115 starting in the fall. With that I’ll be doing marketing and planning for the gallery. That plus hanging committee at the Ottawa Art Gallery and I think it’s gonna be a fun art-filled year :) Also getting more involved with people and events in my program will be nice. I’ve been...

Today has been the first week of business management, the first week of my new job doing press releases for the government, and the first week of my buy nothing new for a year project.
It’s been great!
I’m actually liking business management, very different, and less creative, but a lot more problem solving and practical stuff. I’m thinking that I’ll go as far as I can...

Now the details..
Been thinking about my Buy Nothing New for a Year project. Fine-tuning it a bit.
1) Buying experiences is allowed. Osheaga, going for nights out, etc.
2) Buying food is allowed, but I’m gonna try to be more thoughtful about it.
3) No new things if you can borrow them from someone else, but vintage is allowed in moderation (don’t go crazy and buy the whole store! haha)
4) Put one...

Just found this blog. This graphic designer has gone one year without buying anything new. So inspiring! This past month I’ve created a new habit where whenever I find something I want to buy I email it to myself and then in a week if I still want it I make the purchase. So far, nothing has made the cut. This made me realize how impulsive my buying decisions can be. Just by waiting a week,...
