A very handy dandy resource list for you to de-clutter your space while reusing, reducing recycling:

One of my favorite things is our seasonal Women’s exchange party where we book and clothes and kitchenware swap. It was a pleasure to see a friends’ beautiful teen daughter walk away with big bags of stuff she can wear, things that we 30+ women are now too modest or just too tubby for!
I’ve sent formal dresses & purses to the Princess Project that outfits low income girls like princesses for prom (for free) and the Co-op America link features dress for success which outfits people who need interview or job clothes as they work their way out of social services.
I am a recycling fanatic. We had a big dinner at Texas Roadhouse last night comprised of giant platters of red meat, some of it smothered with cheese and mushrooms,others slabs with BBQ sauce & huge yams and potatoes drowned in butter. It was damned tasty but obviously not my selection. (It was my big bro’s 39th birthday, and he’s always been a hearty eater). Every time we eat there I know for sure there will be leftovers. So I busted out the Tupperware I had prepared and brought along in my canvas, not plastic Trader Joe’s bag. This seemed so shocking to our young waitress, who bless her, seemed younger than my shoes. I hope someday soon more people will come with their own bags and tupperware.
I don’t like the idea that the bag I used for 15 minutes of the box for 1 meal is gonna be on this earth taking up space longer than either myself or the toddlers & babies I love.
One caveat folks, try not to recycle relationships. Meaning, if it didn’t work after 2 tries, (one second chance allowable)it probably ain’t meant to be. Let it go. Ex sex is trouble. Toxic friends stay toxic if they haven’t gotten worse. Drama is over rated!
