WHERE DO OUR RETURNED CLOTHES GO? — After a few WHERE DO OUR RETURNED CLOTHES GO? —
After a few conversations I’ve had over the last couple of days, I’m realising that a lot of people don’t know what really happens to our clothes if we return them. If they’re tagged and in good condition then surely they’ll be resold right??

Not quite.

A lot of the time these clothes are sent to landfill or incineration as it’s the cheaper option for brands. Around 17% of our purchases are returned, creating a massive carbon footprint and around 5 billion pounds of waste, fuelling around 15 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.

So - what can we do?

There are many reasons we need to return clothes, and shouldn’t feel guilty because something didn’t fit right or is faulty. But if you can, shop less and shop well. Maybe look into renting or swapping if you can (however I realise this is a big privilege!!). And speak to your favourite brands, let them know your concerns and put pressure on them for transparency around these things! We also need system change to stop big brands creating so much waste, so if I find any movements around this, I will share them as well.

SUSTAINABLE PERIODS — {Contains PR samples} Sust SUSTAINABLE PERIODS —
{Contains PR samples} Sustainable period products have always seemed a little daunting to me. I’ve never really known where to start but it was one change I really wanted to make this year. Enter: @meetdaye - I especially loved the CBD infused tampons which are a godsend with cramps. The cotton is organic and unbleached and they use sustainable packaging. Their applicators are bio-based sugarcane, the wrappers are water soluble and it comes in recyclable materials. They are a great place to start if you’re looking to be a little bit more sustainable this coming year🌍🤍

3 Methods Of Feeling Comfortable In Your Own Skin

Fashion is nothing without the ability to wear it confidently. No matter who you are, feeling comfortable in your own skin is absolutely something that can give you a sense of real beauty, no matter how objectively beautiful you are. This shows that body and facial configuration is only perhaps 10% of beauty. What matters is your core. What matters is who you are, and how confident you feel embodying yourself. There is only one of you, so it’s important to be your best representative, and to enjoy your presence with grace.

Feeling comfortable in your skin is hard to do for most people. It’s so easy to dissuade ourselves of our right to do this. However, with a little effort, this can become second nature. Just consider our tips to help you become more interested in your fashion life, and to wear your clothes like you really mean it:

Embrace Your Weird

Embracing your weird is an excellent place to start. Why? Because all of us, no matter who we are, is a little bit weird. Allowing our freak flag to fly from time to time can be tremendously rewarding, and help us realize that actually, we’re most likely not as weird as we think. Wearing clothing that interests you, perhaps getting a tattoo that means something to you from your favorite video game, or perhaps just feeling unashamed to express yourself in a certain, unique style are all wonderful options to consider. Embracing your weird can help you feel comfortable, and from comfort, you can feel confident.

Care For Yourself

Taking care of yourself is a great way of helping you feel confident in your own skin. Working out, eating right and simply maintaining your hygiene can do a lot to help you feel comfortable because living healthily is the fastest way of knowing you occupy your best self-day in and day out. This can help you feel things more directly, help you avoid social fear, and generally feel proud of yourself no matter what anyone says. While settling insecurities through rationalizing and accepting your perceived flaws can help, sometimes just working at a glaring issue can help you put that problem to bed, and feel more comfortable in yourself than ever.

Try New Things

Trying new things is essentially important when it comes to figuring out your best style. You may decide to wear new accessories found at piercingmania, or perhaps decide to try a new style completely. You might dye your hair a certain color you’ve wanted to try for some time, or perhaps cut it all off for that pixie cut you’ve been idealizing for a while. Trying new things helps you gain a greater degree of understanding about yourself, helps you present yourself without fear, and helps you dress for you, which is the only person you should ever prioritize dressing up for.

With these tips, you’re sure to connect with positivity, feel more comfortable in the everyday, and that optimistic light will shine from you to other people, inspiring them in kind.
