Have clothes in your cupboard that you don't wear? Well, put them to good use!

Valentine's Day is coming and we all want to get that sexy makeover.

Dance your way to fitness.

Fitness plus fun!

 

Save on rent

Convert your car into a bedroom, dining table or whatever you feel like.

Cool, isn't it?

 

Downsize your wedding

Big fat weddings are over-rated.

Go for a court marriage, invite only two guests and keep it simple.

 

Don't do your shopping yet

Yes, it's difficult, but we can avoid this for a bit.

 

Text, don't call
