Top 3 Thursday: Stores

 Brought to you by Elizabeth and The (Un)Experienced Mom  Where are your Top 3 favorite places to shop? 3) ONLINE There's a lot of stores I love that aren't in my town or I'm just too busy to make it to the mall and my one way to shop is online. I love hitting up JCrew, Sephora, Forever 21 (their stores are too messy and unorganized but there website is way easier plus they are good about returns), Express, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, and even Etsy. 2) TJ MaxxTJ Maxx is only three redlights from my house and it's a well managed and organized store. I love what great finds that are avalible that you have to search for. The clearance aisles are your best friends, I got a really nice candle holder for the mantle that had a scratch on the corner and I got it for half off. The scratch wasn't even a scratch but a mark that came off with some greenworks, so you never know. 1) Tar-jay!I love that store, have been a huge fan most of my life. My mom's a loyal Target shopper and it has rubbed off on me. They have the cutest clothes and houseware items plus everything in between. I recently got new bedding from there and I couldn't be happier with the quality! What are your favorite stores?

Happy Earth Day!

Did you know that 40 years ago today was the first Earth Day ever!

A lot has changed with our Earth but there's some things we can do to help. Here's a few things I do to help curb my carbon footprint and help this planet we call home. (Find out your carbon footprint here)

Recycle!

I know you've been told this since grade school (remember the song?) It's a lot easier then you think and most cities have recycle cans just like trash cans so it's even easier for you. I have two trash cans in my kitchen one for cans & plastic (ours go together) and one for regular trash. It makes it easier for everyone to remember to recycle.

Buy Local

That can be either produce and products, in Tallahassee we have a group of locally businesses and services that encourage residents to shop local. You can visit them here, they have a cute slogan that is "Keep it sassy Tallahassee"

Bring Your Own Bags

They don't have to be special to that store either. Plus most reusable bags hold way more than most plastic bags so that means less trips from the car when you bring things in.

Do you have any Earth Day tips? Feel free to share them!
