Get creative when it comes to saving money AND being green.
- Saving money could be as easy as changing your font. You can save up to 31 percent on ink cartridge purchases by switching to Century Gothic or Times New Roman. These fonts use less ink when printed compared to others.
- Get digital with your coupons! Search for money-saving apps on your smart phone, like Coupon Sherpa for iPhone or The Coupons App for Android.
- Dining out doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Plan your meals out around dining coupons from Groupon.com, Restaurant.com and LivingSocial.com.
Stressed out? Eat… this!
Dietitian and nutritionist Maya E. Nahra recommends eating the following:
- Fish – B12 serotonin regulator: B12 deficiencies are related to depression
- Almonds – Vitamins B2 and magnesium: involved in production of serotonin, helping to regulate stress levels and mood
- Broccoli – Folic Acid (also a B Vitamin): relieves stress and anxiety/panic
- Whole grain rice or pasta – Carbohydrates boost serotonin: small amounts throughout your day can maintain an even mood
- Fruit – Vitamin C: prolonged stress depletes Vitamin C in the adrenal glands, which produce our stress hormones, hence the importance of supporting these glands with the vitamin it needs
