ART WITH HEART
Got a masterpiece to share?
Meerkatplace
is Singapore’s first micro-
funded, creative platform for artists young
and old to share their art and support
a nominated charity at the same time.
Everybody benefits through the purchase
of printed artwork including greeting
cards, luggage tags, fine prints, canvases
and gifts. Artists retain copyright to their
work.

TAKE
A BREAK
Would a break from alcohol,
nicotine, sugar, caffeine or
social media make you feel
healthier and more in control of
your life? Many of us feel that
way after a festive December
and New Year celebrations.
Hail
FebFast
, an Australian
campaign that raises money
to fight youth addiction by
challenging fasters to refrain
from their favourite vice for 28
days. What started out years
ago with a sole focus on alcohol
has expanded to encourage
fasters to take a break from one
of five habits.

Missing favourite US stores like Target and
Pottery Barn? The new way to shop this year,

same time, is with a US mailing address from
PacMe
. Shop and send everything to your
PacMe address where they will receive and
store all your packages. Then, when you’re
ready, PacMe will consolidate and repack your
items, not simply put your boxes into another
box to send to you. Sign up for a free first-
year free membership, using the promo code
