Shining the Light on Mental Health

Many of us have experienced some form of difficulty with our mental health. I myself had a hard time finding my happiness and I have friends and loved ones who deal with anxiety and depression on an ongoing basis.

In an effort to do what I can to stop the stigma surrounding mental health, I’ve done a lot of research on the topic to share three simple ways we can all come together to not only help those in our lives through their journey but change the collective culture surrounding mental illness through our actions.

Celebrating Culture & Beauty with Kenya Help

Three Thrift Shopping Tips

It’s so easy to get lost in the adventure, to spend ages excitedly pulling out hilariously comical pieces, and howling over the fact that people in the past really used to wear that. Not ironically, not for Halloween, seriously. Yes, encountering those pieces is all part of the fun. All I’m saying is, it isn’t always easy to determine which items are must-haves, which are worth giving a try, and which should be left untouched for some quirky collector type. But as someone who can proudly pronounce herself a seasoned second-hand hunter, I’ve got three vintage-shopping tips to guide you on your next consignment shopping trip.
