New year, new cause!
For a few years now we have been giving away free seed packets at our markets and with every order that benefit the Monarchs. We will still be doing that!
We’ve sent hundreds of seed freebies all over the country.
This year, we are also adding a new cause- preventing bird strikes! At least one million birds die every year from colliding with windows. This is preventable, with one small and easy fix. Window prism clings! One or two little clings on your window will help the birds see the window. We will be giving these away with some of our new orders! We also are giving some away to our first 30 new newsletter subscribers. So sign up in the pop up box if you haven’t yet! Because these are prismatic, they also create pretty rainbows all over your house when the light hits them. It’s a cheap and simple way to add a little magic (and good karma) into your home!
Are trying to change up your diet a little this year? I am! I’ve been busy trying to replace my beloved processed vegan meat and cheese with some healthier alternatives. If you are interested in having some meatless meals and cutting some dairy from your diet, then you’re in the right place! We’ll be sharing some new vegan recipes on our Broke Betty Facebook page this week that I’ve recently tried and loved.
This week’s “Broke Betty” project:
I’ve been trying to make my clothing/ wardrobe more sustainable, less fast fashion. I’ve ordered some pieces from the resale company “Thred Up.” Since I’m working on decluttering my wardrobe, I’m also going to try selling some of my clothes with them as well. I love this idea! I will update you with how this goes. I’m hoping it will be a good change for me, as buying new has usually been my go to. Wish me luck!
Don’t sweat it if you haven’t even thought about putting up your holiday decorations. I haven’t yet! No one really cares. Maybe just shoot for having them gone before the summer, as some of our neighbors don’t even bother with that. Or not. Because, let’s face it, we’re just too tired to care!
See you next week!
