Dear Followers,

Happy early Earth Day, which is Wednesday, April 22.

Reducing my environmental damage footprint is one big reason why I buy as much secondhand as I can. It is also the reason why I love reselling. I like to think that I am a matchmaker for those with a bit more money but a lot less time. I help them find the items they want and reduce their environmental footprint as well. Plus, I might just have saved that item from the trash, instead of it becoming someone's treasure.

If you don't thrift but want to learn how, here are a few tips from my Facebook followers. If you are already a thrifting machine, please leave a tip or two.

And if you want to learn how to be a bit more environmentally friendly, here are some posts from Snail Pace Transformations that can help

If you love getting out into nature, follow our travel Facebook account, The Parents Flew The Nest, where I share pictures of our hikes. You can save them using Facebook's "Save Post" feature, which appears when you click the three dots at the top of the post, and check those hikes out for yourself.

(One last reminder, Mother's Day is in 19 days! Here is a list of thoughtful and affordable gifts, many of which are planet-friendly, too! ​
