My Live Smart Top Tip: Invest in a thermoflask! You can pick them up for as little as a tenner and they can save you money and help the planet. Just make yourself a cuppa in the morning (cheaper than buying one) and it’ll still be nice and toasty by the time you reach campus. It’s a one-off spend, followed by years of lovely (and cheap) hot drinks plus the knowledge you’re helping to reduce single-use cups! #Winner

My Live Smart top tips: Get creative! If you’re thinking of doing a clear out. Look to see if there is anything you can transform- Is there an old jumper you can turn into a decorative pillow? Have you got spare bits of wood that you could make a bird box/ bug hotel with? Let your creativity shine and save yourself money!
