With the holiday season in full swing and all of the commitments that come along with them, it can be hard to find time to take care of yourself. At Printfresh, we firmly believe in making time for self-care, but we can all use a little help coming up with ways to treat ourselves now and then. Even if you only have half an hour (or less) you can still show yourself some compassion and practice your self-care with our list of 10 nice things you can do for yourself, now! 

A few months back we posted an article about the best way to recycle your clothes, and the response was incredible! In an effort to learn more, we decided to enlist the help of Gabbie N., Printfresh fan and the blogger behind the Median Moda and the Style Blogger Index to provide even more practical tips for recycling and repurposing your clothes. 

No matter how conscientious we are with shopping for clothing, there will always be items that we need to remove from our wardrobe. Whether it no longer fits, doesn’t suit our style, or is uncomfortable – we all have our reasons, and it can feel really good to let something go that isn’t working for us anymore. Unfortunately, depending on how you recycle your clothes, closet cleanouts can come at a cost (mostly for the environment).

So many of us want to make more ethical shopping decisions, but it can be time consuming, expensive and overwhelming to put into practice. If you are struggling to shop with your values in mind, you aren’t alone. Research shows that up to 50% of shoppers say they care about ethical shopping, but don’t actually buy that way. So what can we do? In an effort to bridge the intention gap and make ethical shopping more accessible, we’re breaking down a few key habits you can use to curate a more intentional wardrobe. 

Fashion moves at an unthinkable pace, with the endless cycle of weekly trends causing serious harm to our planet and the people who create our clothes. While the industry may be to blame, we as consumers can all play a small part in helping to turn this around. We’re here to show you a few simple changes that you can make and learn how to end fast fashion in your life. Because together, those small changes can add up to big changes in the industry and for the world.
