Natural Health Alternatives

Did you guys know how many natural alternatives there are out there that use simple ingredients? It is completely baffling to see how much information is out there on the web.

I have personally seen the difference of using cosmetic brands versus their natural, DIY counterpart. Sometimes, we might need the stronger alternative, but I’m finding that we can adapt our bodies to the natural alternatives. Our bodies are so used to harsh chemicals, it can be hard to transition. Since natural alternatives aren’t always very potent, I find that it can take a couple of applications and time to see results.

Pinterest has a ton of information about this stuff, though I would encourage anyone on there to research something before trying it. What are other people saying about it? There are a lot of people out there who truly believe they know what they’re doing, but a trained professional will say otherwise. It is always good to fact check from multiple sources! There is an endless plethora of information on the internet. You will always find the information, if you know where to look.

If you’re interested in seeing all the health related pins I save, check out my board here:

I post a lot of interesting alternatives for health products, plus some easy exercises I want to do, and unconventional practices that you generally don’t hear about in western medicine. I’m updating it rather regularly.

What are some natural alternatives that you have tried?

First day as a video caption’er

Three days ago, I applied to a company called Rev. 

They are an online transcription service. I saw their ad posted on my local Craigslist page and loved the idea. I debated for a while on what course of action I should take (as I always do, for much too long). I was getting worried that I possibly did not get the job because I may have waited too long to apply. I started looking up other people’s experiences with them online, and I found out that they only had a 10% hiring rate, but they are always hiring.

You don’t even want to know how much I was checking my e-mail.

I finally got a response today! They hired me! I’m so happy.

I have done 3 videos tonight for them, and I will earn more money once I complete 80 minutes of videos and receive a good enough rating from my peers.

The videos I have been choosing have been mostly Machinama videos. Its like watching videos on youtube, but instead it’s one video under 10 minutes for two hours... I’m getting faster and better with every video, though! By the time I get to 80 minutes, I’ll be a killer. 

This will be very good for my typing skills.

This would definitely be a good way to supplement your income if you have the patience to listen to dialogue very closely and can work intently on your computer for long periods of time. I learned everything I needed to know during the application process, but make sure to read it carefully!

Good luck out there!

CookieClicker

Have you guys every heard of this game, CookieClicker?

http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/

It’s an addictive game where you click for cookies and also buys buildings to make cookies.

I shouldn't be allowed to play these games haha. I got sucked into one called ClickerHeroes a while back (and yes, I still play that from time to time). I am liking this cookie one better so far, though ClikerHeroes has a longer playablility from what I can see.

On the positive side, it is a fun game to play while crocheting. I managed to finish a few prototypes for the chokers I’m designing. It was nice listening to Spotify and getting some work done, while also playing a game. Good day, bros!

Apply for a residency with The Canadian Wilderness Residency Program for 2015.

What a fantastic opportunity!

The Canadian Wilderness Artist Residency is a program to bring artists into nature. They cover everything you need for just under a month in nature. It costs $400, which is a great price, and have a few important things in their application that will require some effort.

It’s crazy to see something like this starting because this is my current goal. If everything works out, I am planning on travelling BC, and making art and festival clothes and accessories. I think I would rather do it on my own rather than through an entire program, but I have a lot to do before that....

Welcome!

At 25-years-old, I can’t say I am walking down the most conventional path.

My name’s Kayla. I’m obsessed with beauty, freedom, and expression, and I can see it in a lot of things. I’m a person who loves to sample everything in life, and I plan on sharing my adventures with you all. I couldn’t be more thankful for where I live; British Columbia, Canada is the most beautiful place in the world to me.

So, like a lot of you out there, I have been mulling over how I can incorporate what I love doing into a steady paycheck. Or any money, really. My biggest priority is the flexibility to work from home. It turns out blogging is one of the best ways, though I don’t want to just get washed away in the sea of blogs emerging in this day and age. I don’t really want to do one thing, either.

The goal of this blog will be to talk to you guys about the challenges I’m facing coming into my quarter century of life, and figuring out how to channel all this stubbornness and independence into an income.

I’ll be talking to you guys about all the research I have been doing on being a work at home young Canadian. I will share how I choose to use this freedom and time, and I plan on using it well. I plan on talking to you guys about digital media, arts and crafts, working remotely, and travel.

Stay tuned!
