It’s a new season for the Living Green column. No, its not yet spring, even though it felt like it last week. This new season is bringing a new face to offer eco-insights for the Grand Strand, and I am lucky enough to be that new face – so, you might ask, who am I? Let me introduce myself. I’ve [...]

$50 Quest: Goodwill

Jennifer C. Sellers — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:09:23 +0000

For Christmas I received $50 cash, so my plan was to visit some second-hand stores and see how far I could go with it.

It’s a new year, which means a new chance at life and a time to start over. At the start of the new year, people have a tendency to reflect on the negativity of the past year and look for ways to make themselves and their life better. Typical Resolutions include: Lose Weight, Eat Better, Exercise More, Quit Smoking, Get Out of Debt….etc. [...]

My Resolution Non-Solution

Jennifer C. Sellers — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 17:00:24 +0000

As the year comes to a close, I reflect on my New Year’s Resolution of 2011 to not buy new clothes for an entire year, but to purchase them from second-hand stores only.

Anyway, one of the major issues during the holidays between Thanksgiving and New Year’s [...]

In sharing my blog with new friends, I was invited to go shopping with one of my newest friends, Karen. The first stop was Twice As Nice Consignment, which I blogged about already. The second stop in our shopping day was Moozie’s Closet – a second-hand store in our area that I have always considered to be a gem. Moozie’s [...]
