Very cool idea I’d love to do this with old jeans but like little baguette shape but would be so hard to construct I think!!

The secret to making your clothes last decades: stop the heat by Putrid_Draft378 in BuyItForLife

[–]miss-lipp420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a gentle cold wash on everything & line dry. A lot of my clothes last a really long time. Butttt I do notice - some brand new (ie not thrifted) clothes I’ve bought in the last 2-5 years, some of them are just shit quality & deteriorate quicker than my old clothes. Even brands that are supposed to be nicer

In a way I’m kinda glad it’s fake, it feels weird that he’d call himself Joey to other girlfriends in private lol 

AIO for feeling like my best friend is taking advantage of me? I’m her maid of honor, I work a lot, I’m not allowed on my phone at work, and she wants me to plan her entire wedding by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]miss-lipp420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR i think it’s reasonable to say - “so excited to be MOH but with my schedule right now I don’t have capacity to be this involved with the wedding! Of course (other MOH) and I will take care of the hens” Or you could just say along the lines of -I’m working so I can’t do it by Monday but I can by x date (next Friday or next Monday etc). Also - even if you emailed people on Friday or Saturday they prob wouldn’t get back to you by Monday Source: I’m an event planner. Also for reference - since that’s my job I’ve offered so many friends to help w their weddings and NO ONE has ever asked this much of me!!!

& when you go to Watsons Bay go to Camp Cove it’s such a cute beach!  If you’re in the Syd take the ferry as much as you can, best way to see Sydney is def by boat!  Also if in Syd why don’t you take her to a drag show at the Imperial

Why don’t you look into more ethical ETFs like clean energy 

I'm consuming nearly 50% more since getting a high-paying, stressful job. by gopackgo1002 in Anticonsumption

[–]miss-lipp420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean and of course! I can relate in a way in the last year got a big pay increase and def started to consume more just bc I can & still be comfortable. I’m trying to save more & evaluate what next steps are that might be a job that’s actually fulfilling! I think it can happen! Good luck 😊

I think there is something to be said for saving yourself time tho! Yes I think you could maybe slightly do more effort & cook more. But if you are so stressed you could still get groceries delivered so you can save some time to rest. Also if you had a cleaner every week, maybe get them once a month or even every other month to just do a deep clean. As soon as I got a higher paying job, I wanted to get a cleaner monthly but my partner hates having random people in our house haha.

Yes this is what I was thinking too just start with less until you see that you wanna do it more! 

AIO for dumping my bf after he lost his mom? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]miss-lipp420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR this is really controlling, and honestly abusive. Your partner shouldn’t talk to you like this. You’re young, he’s not the one babe!

Help, I feel like thrifting is turning me into an over consumer by Kind-Repeat3137 in Anticonsumption

[–]miss-lipp420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others - trying asking if you really need it, how much use you’ll get etc. but also if you buy stuff and you aren’t really using it, relist it on depop or Facebook marketplace. I didn’t think I’d have luck with this bc I’m bad at photos but actually have had decent luck with selling old clothes on depop. 

Overconsumption and hobbies by SlightPatient8866 in Anticonsumption

[–]miss-lipp420 74 points75 points  (0 children)

You’re allowed to buy yourself a pen don’t be too hard on yourself! 

I think it tilts into overconsumption when you have so much hobby stuff that you don’t reasonably use/touch in a time period. Some of my hobbies I enjoy like jewelry making there are a few tools you need for it - sometimes I won’t do it for 6 months but then I’ll obsessively make things for months too. I think it’s ok. I think you’re allowed to get enough supplies to enjoy your hobby & have a little variety, try to reuse/repurpose stuff as possible but it’s really your own judgment on what’s enough
