Why I Still Believe in Buying Sustainable Pre-Owned Clothing: Saving Money While Supporting Sustainable Fashion
I have been shopping at thrift stores and consignment shops for a very long time. First, it was a necessity because of financial constraints. I was raising my child, so I had to make those dollars stretch. My mom also used to take us thrifting, but at the time, the clothing was just not appealing. It was sometimes embarrassing because the clothes looked old.
I would visit different thrift stores and I noticed that some shops didn't have nice clothing because the workers were taking the best clothes and leaving the ugly clothes on the rack. Finally, I found some different thrift stores, and the clothes were nice, affordable, and looked new. Searching for tops, skirts, and dresses became an obsession for me.
As I wore my clothes, I would receive so many compliments. It was fun curating my style. Never did I feel like I had to look like anyone else. Thrifting allowed me to save money, but I never felt deprived of the shopping experience. Building an enormous wardrobe was so easy. I wouldn't be able to afford some of these items in the department store. A lot of these fashions have lasted me over ten or almost twenty years, and they still look new.
Right now I still thrift because it keeps clothing from ending up in the landfills and even though I can afford to buy new clothes, I still think that it still make a lot of sense to buy clothing that is attractive but to save money for a rainy day. Even if you are a person who likes to switch out your clothes constantly, you can still do that by buying pre owned clothing.
Here are older videos of me showing my thrift store finds.

Honest Koala Eco Hand Wash & Body Lotion Review: Clean, Non-Toxic Skincare Worth the Hype?
Shop My affiliate links are included in this post. If a purchase is made, I will receive a small commission. My perspective on these products is as follows. These products were given to me for a review.
I received the Koala Eco Hand Wash Refill and the Koala Hand and Body Lotion. This was my first time hearing about these products. I love trying new products. They are eco-friendly so that is definitely a plus.
Is Koala Eco good for sensitive skin?
These products have essential oils, soothing to the skin, and pH balanced. My skin is so dry because I have eczema, so I was happy to try a product that didn't have a lot of chemicals that would irritate my skin. I love trying plant- based skincare.
After using the handwash, my hands stayed pretty soft and the lotion was so soothing to my skin. The handwash is in a nice size bottle. It is 33.8 fl.oz. The hand and body lotion is in a smaller bottle, 16.9 fl. oz. but it is so thick and rich.
There was definitely a noticeable difference when I applied it to my arms. My skin felt moisturized, not greasy.
You can see me try out these products in my review video below.
