This Halloween, I chose 7 powerful women to build costumes for. In this post I put together a list for the things you need to put together these costumes too. My hope is that you are able to gather items from around your home or purchase them secondhand from the thrift stores in order to bring your character to life.

Why spend money and emissions traveling from store to store when you can now shop secondhand direct online?Today I am sharing with you a MEGA list of amazing online thrift options from small business ecommerce shops, to larger scale marketplaces. I’ve divided it up based on country of origin for those who are wanting to support those local to them, however, I’ve included details on where they ship to under each.

You asked, and I answered! In this article, I am sharing the best physical stores to shop second-hand around Prince Edward Island. I listed the stores in order of the value I found it offers based on my own experiences.

Through my love of thrifting, I have often found myself coming across repeat household items. I am not sure if there is just an influx of these items in circulation, or for some reason individuals are replacing these items and donating them on regular; regardless, it’s nice to have a solid list of items I know I am sure to find on my thrifting ventures should I ever need to replace or invest in a new home item.

I love thrifting so much. It’s the coolest thing on earth if you ask me. There’s something so special about finding that perfect clothing piece that is worn just right, or that piece of furniture that gives a lived-in look to your space. A satisfaction you can't get from picking something off a rack at a store that has 10 or 15 duplicates on display.

Despite the fact that I have a wide range of knowledge about zero-waste living and plenty of useful tips I've gathered after conducting my own research to include in this post, at the end of the day I am not a student. In order to provide you with the best information, I went straight to the source for some help in writing this post. I interviewed a long-time environmentally conscious student, @Hannah.the.PA for her best tips on ways she reduces her ecological footprint.
