- For the girls, have a clothes swap party. All bring a bag of clothes that you no longer like or are bored with and swap with other friends clothes. Its like going shopping for new clothes without the money or eco-footprint.
Here I share one of my story. I used to walk beside beach at night. It’s about 7 o’clock but I was left in the dark already. At first, I was so freaky because I was totally blinded. Only I feel is the breath of my friends and the most clearly I could hear is the tide. My other sense organs were breathing, and that kind feeling of alive tells me I am not alive with what I‘ve seen. After a while, I felt the peaceful and enjoy the breezy night.
So, let us back to basic, and feel alive in this world for an hour. And prove to yourself you can go 60 minutes without updating your Facebook status.
