Treat Yourself

At home for the last weeks we have been trying to reduce our waste, and making things yourself is a great way to succeeed at it, although I also really enjoy it. You might not all have the same passion as me for cooking but you could try once. Making a meal for yourself or just something to go with your tea/coffee is a great way to take care of yourself and treat people around you. Cooking food is an easy manner to bring joy around you and to share a sympathetic moment with the people you love. If you make things yourself instead of just buying them in the shop you will enjoy them more. I agree sometimes you don’t have time to make everything yourself and you might think you are not good at cooking but it has a lot of benefits. It enables you to realize that you are actually able to make things yourself and to learn new recipes, and you will be proud of it. The fact you put effort in it, and make time for it enables you to enjoy it more and you can make exactly what you are craving and free your imagination. It is also better for your health because there are no additional flavors and food preservatives. And the additional benefit is that you won’t create any waste if you buy all your ingredients in bulk contrary to industrial meals or cakes that always have a lot of packaging. So if you are bored sometime or if you really are craving something, try to make it yourself once and you will see how much joy it will bring you. What's more, it will benefit your health and the planet.
