Simple Ways to Make a Difference/Reduce Waste

This is something I used to do while I was in high school, which is donate extra change on Mufti days.

.......

Use re-useable bags when grocery shopping instead of plastic ones and use re-useable drink bottles instead of plastic ones.

.......

For me, I use fashion as a creative outlet and it keeps me mentally stimulated. I still buy new pieces, But with so much excess waste being produced these days and with pieces I end up growing out of or having to throw away, eventually ends up in the landfill.. So, I try to limit what I buy or keep pieces for a longer period of time. The great thing about this is, styles keep coming around back in trend, so it's easy to switch in between the pieces, play around with matching colours to keep inspired. Fashion is also subjective, so anyone can dress to how they feel and to whatever style they desire.

....... 

I also use layering pieces... For example, I created 5 different outfits with 3 pieces, and the middle piece I sometimes layer over a bikini.

.......

Use old study notes for gift wrapping.

....... 

 Cut up pieces from magazines to make a collage, Paint on a quote (I used acrylic paint to make it appear like chalk), The poster is from a school trip from 2 years ago...lmao.

.......

I hope you enjoyed these tips..
