2020 The Year I Am Proud of All of Us
Whenever one plans for the next year, a review of your previous accomplishments is a task to put first. Perhaps this is the most optimistic recap of 2020 but it is truly what I have felt the entire time. It wasn’t what we had planned or the ways we had envisioned but we shape shifted and ro...

In 2019, the clothing swaps I hosted changed the game. They were always something I did on the side as another unique way of disposing of and ob...

2019 The Year of Transformation
I’ve known for many months that 2019 I was going to refer to as the year of transformation, I usually like to sum up each year with a word. Many people have commented to me how radiant I am this year or how my vibrant energy can be felt but to me, this was all a shedding of my previous skin...

Holding All Fashion Accountable, Not Just Fast Fashion
Here’s an unpopular opinion. I hate how much the term ‘fast fashion’ is used to describe the implications of the fashion industry and why it is the world’s second largest polluter. Yes, fast fashion has absolutely created a surplus in clothing and it is the term that is ty...

These can be deeper life pondering questions or simply, what do you do with your clothing once you are no longer wanting it to be in your closet?

2018 The Year of Connection
2018 is the year both myself and Life Preloved got our footing and flourished, growing as a person, an official business and a brand. From a little blog to promote thrift shopping, what has transpired this year was never in the cards but you could say, it has been in the cards the whole time. I h...

Thrift Haul – October 2017
Ahh October, I’m glad the month is over thrift-wise as it’s my least favourite time for the thrift shops being so packed with non-thrifters looking for their Halloween costumes. I have been frequenting other locations for thrifting rather than my usual location so it’s been nice...
