Did you know that every time you buy something from our website www.shopdaze.co.uk we'll give 5% of your total order cost to an animal charity. We decided on 5% of the order, so that you know exactly what you're donating. None of this percentage of  'profits' fluff that some companies claim.

At the moment we're supporting Michael from 'The man that rescues dogs'. In Thailand, where Michael works, some dogs are treated very poorly. I'm sure some of you guys have seen this while you've been traveling? It's not unusual for them to be beaten, starving and even poisoned. Every day Micheal travels around his local area, looking for homeless dogs to help and feed. Donations are vital to help these poor dogs and the more we donate the more dogs he can help feed, help and just
generally make their life that little bit better.


You can find out more about Michael and how he helps these sweet animals here: http://themanthatrescuesdogs.org There's a video on the website which give you a good idea of the type of work Michael does. If you don't want to buy anything from Daze but would like to help, that would be amazing too! Even if it's only a small amount!

We've been supporting this charity for over 2 months now without telling you guys, so if you've bought anything from Daze lately - thank you! 

Which charity should we support next? Would love to hear from you!

Help!

We’re re not talking about giving up chocolate (never gonna happen) or retail therapy – We’re talking about five simple things you can give up right now and feel soo better for it. Life is too short, seriously.
Doubting yourself  – everyone does it and why? Sure it’s easier said than done, we get it but what is ever going to come from constantly doubting and putting yourself down? There’s a quote which says that whether you belive you can or can’t – your right. It’s true, if you doubt yourself and set yourself up for failure, that’s what your brain is going to be focusing on and it makes life soo much harder. Think of how you talk to people you love. If you wouldn’t talk to them like that, don’t talk to yourself like that.
Bitching – people love to gossip but there’s a fine line between having a little fun and bitching. If you’re constantly bitching with people, it’s not good for anyone. The people you’re bitching to will most likely think you’re bitching about them behind your back and let’s be honest, the people who are bitching to you, probably bitch about you to other people. It’s best to stay about of it, bitching says more about you than the person you’re bitching about…
Comfort eating – if it’s a one-off, go ahead and eat that whole tub of Ben and Jerry’s but if it’s a reoccurring situation, you should really get to the bottom of why you’re comfort eating and sort it out. It’s a vicious circle and eating junk food makes you feel like crap, so you eat more and so on. Only go shopping on a full tummy because if you’re hungry when you shop you’re more likely to buy snack food and you’re going to eat what you buy, right?
Procrastination – so so easy to do but there are some steps you can take to stop putting stuff off. When you get up, make a list of what you want to do that day and don’t stop until you’ve done it!
Being lazy – you wonder how people can go to the gym before work when you can’t even muster up the energy to get out of bed. It’s true that laziness breeds laziness. Get up and get out you’ll feel so much better for it, it doesn’t even matter what you do, as long as you’re up and about. A good tip is to do 50 star jumps when you’re feeling a bit lazy, it’s sure to fire you up!
So there you go, five simple steps you can take to making a better you. Is there anything else you would add to this list? Let us know!

Five things you really need to give up

Water is actually amazing, we should be aiming for 8 glasses a day and here’s why…  

It can help you loose weight – drink a glass of water before each meal and you’re more likely to loose weight. Water makes you feel fuller for longer and can also boost your metabolism! 
It may protect against cancer – research shows that the more water you drink, the lower the odds of bladder cancer!
It can boost your mood – being  dehydrated can negatively impact your mood as well as give you headaches, drinking more water can help prevent these and put you in a better mood.
It can can help with memory and concentration – next time you’re studying for an exam, keep a bottle of water close by, water has been shown to help improve your concentration!  
It improves your skin – A recent study showed that 1 in 5 woman who drank over 1.5 liters of water a day saw a reduction in wrinkles after 6 weeks, without making any other changes. So go ahead, drink a cup of water before each meal. with your dinner, carry a bottle around, however you do it, your body will be thankful!
