HI, THERE! Did you know?

Each year 100 billion of new pieces of clothing are produced. Women buy around 68 new pieces of clothes each year. On average, 1 clothing item will only be worn 7 times before it is forgotten. 85% of all clothing produced will end up in a landfill within a year.  The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of the Co2 emission affecting our environment. You can make a positive impact on the environment by: 1. Buying less, but fairly produced high quality pieces 2. Buy second hand clothes. 3. Swap…

In Memory of Korner Six.

“I think you are afraid and are looking for ways to distract your self.” These are the words that came out of T’s mouth as I kept blurting different blog names out loud. “I’m not afraid” I said. “I just don’t know what to do next and I need to channel my energy somewhere.” It’s true.

It’s a funny position to be in because there are so many mixed opinions and beliefs about what security means to people.

Exercise Really Does Make You Happy. My 3 Favourite Home 20 Minute Workouts.

Pam

So, the last couple of days have been a little rough on my emotional spirits. In terms of Eckhart Tolle, my Pain-Body awakened and was really hungry for pain and sadness. Do you ever have those days?

Pam

Hello Everybody! 🙂 I have a cold this weekend and it’s not nice. 🙁 {crying face} but you know what? Who cares… because I just finished editing my Vlog that I made the week of launching House of Swap.
