Here are my top five posts from all categories:
- The palm oil dilemma: will a boycott help or hurt the environment?: Claire is back again with a great and a thoughtful blog post. People are calling for a complete ban on palm oil based on the controversial ban of the Iceland Christmas advert, but real environmentalists know it’s not always that simple. I was thinking on doing a post on the subject, but Claire has said everything.
- 4 ways to be productive when you’re having a low energy day: With SAD, I’ve been having a lot of these recently and it’s nice to see a fellow blogger have realistic tips that aren’t “just get out of bed.”
- When you don’t love a city: To me, it takes a lot of courage to make posts like these. People expect travel bloggers to gush over everywhere they’ve been when in reality, when you’ve been around enough, there are some places you wouldn’t exactly rush back to.
- Reading habits tag: Now that I’m reading more, I’d be interested in doing one of these for myself!
- Top things to do in Kuala Lumpar: I posted earlier this month about how my brother and I are taking a trip to southeast Asia in June and these posts make me even more excited. I can’t wait!
