NYC Photo Diary (1) – 10 September 2015

Day 1 in NYC

We left Texas before it was bright and early, and touched down in NYC – then we sat in the car with the driver for 3 hours due to rain and US open traffic.  That doubled our travel time.  My friend Nicole & her boyfriend took us around that evening after we settled into the hotel.  We explored the Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum and had so much fun that I forgot to get a group picture!  And y’all know I’m ADAMANT about documenting all the happenings.  That’s just how much fun we had.  Oh, and I wore heels so my feet have a pain hangover.  That is all.  I can’t wait to explore and watch the fashion show today!

    These are great pictures! I’ve been to NYC but not in many years. I want to plan a family trip there in the next year or so and your pictures make me want to get there faster. 🙂

      Yes, go back! As busy as the city is, I can imagine it has changed a lot! It’s still amazing, though – that hasn’t changed 😄

Happy Earth Day 🌍🫶🏾🌱

I used to think “let me just get 5k followers.. 10k followers… one day I’ll have 20k followers…” to help people live more sustainably with the blog posts and social media posts I created. 10+ years of that led to burnout. And it never felt the same as when my friends and family started to live a little more sustainably because of something they learned from me. 

I hope you’ll be the inspiration for someone in your life to be a little bit more sustainable today. It’s such a good feeling to see the people closest to you thrift more, consume less, and think differently — more sustainably — about how we treat our world. 

Don’t push it, just live it. 

Happy Earth Day 🌍🫶🏾🌱

🥶❌🌱 Not my plant babies! 

It’s been cold in Texas the past few days, so I acted accordingly to protect my little backyard garden that’s barely underway. 

Using thrifted sheets (once back drops in my “thrift fashionista style content” days lol) and thrifted clothes pins (I knew they would come in handy! 😆🙌🏾), as well as some old jugs, bottles, containers, and twigs. Hopefully they help keep the plants from getting too cold to survive.

Finally got a migrating bird LIGHTS OUT sign 🤩

Turn off your lights (outdoor & indoor) to limit light pollution and to protect migrating birds 🫶🏾🕊️

TURN ‘EM OFF! (in my Teddy Pendergrass voice 😂)

Do you reuse gift wrap?

Here are some things that I’ve thrifted to reuse as gift wrap each holiday season:

⭐️ tablecloths
⭐️ napkins & handkerchiefs (matching napkins sewn together can be used for larger gifts)
⭐️ Scarves (like from @wrappr)
⭐️ Cloth bags (like the ones your sheet sets come in)
⭐️ Pillowcases
⭐️ Curtains (can be used as gift wrap or to cover larger gifts like bikes or toy kitchens)

As long as you can fold the fabric into a square before wrapping the gift, it works well when using the furoshiki style wrapping technique. 

Comment WRAP for a few tips and tricks to wrap gifts in cloth fabric.
