The Curiosity Project ·

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/03/02

Water. Its pretty simple stuff, we all need it, we are all pretty much made of it, why make a fuss of it? The same way you would demand better of your food we now need to rise together and demand better of our water. Life is about experiences and since we promote Hygge - the danish act of finding value and peace in the smallest of acts - what better then to find an experience in the liquid you drink everyday. Working with Michael, the co-founder of Aqua Amore has helped us to quantify and understand

Insanity: The Joker, Falling Down and perceptions

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/02/23

To be labelled as insane is to automatically be marginalised within society, to be packaged in to a corner and left to rot, to have your voice silenced and discredited. Why? To protect society. But the question that no one is asking, why do some people become insane? What does it really mean to be insane? And is it being over diagnosed? The with release of the new Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix we noticed that it shone a light on the fringe characters within society, those struggling to fit in

Good Food: Wellbeing, cooking and quality

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/02/17

There's nothing wrong with a Chinese take out, but there is something wrong with a take out every day. Now with far more people becoming educated in the benefits of concentrating on not only your caloric intake but also your nutritional intake we have realised that maybe the idea of 'eating good' or 'good food' has become disillusioned and must be simplified. Convenience takes priority over taste, this does not need to be the case. Good food does not mean expensive food, nor does it mean

Interviews: Preparation, structure and mindset

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/02/12

Interviews. Whether you are attending one for a new school, a university or a new job, interviews can be nerve racking regardless of how confident you are, so much relies on you ticking the boxes for the interviewer that you've probably never met. Not to worry, there are some key things you can do to really up your chances, prepare in the correct ways and keep yourself calm and clear minded. Although it is true interviews are tremendously subjective, they are dependant on many factors, one thing

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/01/22

With all the buzz around Harry and Meghan we felt obliged to cover a topic that was royal family themed. Something that we have been discussing this week is does the royal family have a place in the modern day? Or is the monarchy an archaic worn out India that is purely a drain on tax payers money? We may not be royal historians but that will not stop us providing our opinions! Pull a shot and join us for a chat!

Education System: Exams, problems and future competition

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/01/20

Exams, exams, exams. We are tested at every stage in our academic careers from the age of 8, but what does that achieve? Is the UK education system catering to allowing students blossom as an individuals or training them to mindlessly memorise and regurgitate information to pass exams? Growing up in the UK education system from primary school to university has provided us with the first hand experience to judge and discuss the direction of how it is developing and also needs to develop.

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/01/15

Minimalism is absolutely a way of life but what exactly does it mean? What does it entail? What it doesn't necessarily mean is having no furniture, a lack of cutlery and poor hygiene! The beauty of this concept lies in this flexibility, its breadth for personalisation and customisation. You can go as far as you wish or as little, whatever suits your lifestyle. We have been actively practicing minimalism and have made it part of our daily lives. The impact has been overwhelming positive however we

Commuting can be more of a chore rather then an enjoyment, the part of our day that we could rather do with out. But why do we make this day to day pilgrimage more unbearable for one another?

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/01/06

Artificial intelligence seems to be almost a buzz word, it's on every blog, every podcast, every news channel but is it as scary as everyone seems to think? Is AI really a situation where we could be witnessing a terminator type situation? Or is it our saving grace, a technological advancement to catapult us forward to achieve things human can only dream of? As lovers of technology and innovation in any shape or form our intrigue in AI has been ongoing for several years however now as the

The Curiosity Project ·

2019/12/25

We all like a sleep in, not having to wake up to that drone of the alarm clock, a day where there is nothing to do but to lay in bed and watch Netflix. Regardless of what anyone says, there is nothing wrong with a day like that, however, too many can lead to a disorganised and unruly day/week/life! Hence a fruitful, productive and preparative morning and evening routine is paramount in your daily success. We both talk about our daily morning and evening routines, how they have evolved as our lives
