Timeout is over.

*Momma timeout: Is Over!

The Chaos Editor is baackkk!

Hey Friends , Hey! It’s been a while. A very loonnng while. But to say the least I’m back, refreshed and ready to write on my own blog, again. For my friends that did not know and wonder where I’ve been. Mommas been workin’! No, but really when I started freelance writing for other bloggers and small businesses, what I thought was going to just be a “little” side hustle, turned into a full fledged job! So, with that I just didn’t have the mentally ability to write for my own blog.

I am still writing for other bloggers and small businesses but have now narrowed down my clients to select posts. This will allow me the mentally ability to write for my own blog, as well.

I am also still doing Pinterest Management for entrepreneurs and I also work at an amazing Consignment Boutique, that’s brings me incredible joy, a Darling atmosphere and Dashing co-workers and shoppers.

I also still work events for our Soul Food Joint restaurant & Catering business, along with wife’ing and momma’ing.

So, Momma was just tired and needed a break. And unfortunately, my own blog was neglected. But friends, I’m back!! With more chaos, more tricks, hacks, and resources.

So grab your wine, tea, or water and let’s continue documenting sustainable chaos. #chaoscoodinators, let’s go!

Happy Blog Birthday!

Happy Valentines Day or Galantines

Be Your Own Motivation and make sure to love yourself and treat yourself to a TIMEOUT.Happy Birthday The EDIT Chaos! I’m super excited to say that today marks my blog anniversary that I (officially) published this blog. Although, the thought of blogging entered my mind years ago, I however did not believe in myself years ago. I, remember sitting on the floor in my bathroom crying, while feeding the baby to write my VERY FIRST blog post. I felt defeated and exhausted with everything that was going on in the world and my life.

I was very happy with how far I had come, but unsure with my emotions of gratitude. I remember thinking to myself, I can do this, I can write a blog. I wanted so badly to write and to express my feelings, to share my cries, my knowledge, to have someone to (talk) with. I had this feeling of emptiness, but also a feeling of grate-fullness. It’s hard to explain. BUT, throughout the feelings I decided to write. Although, I do not have A lot of published posts, I DO have a lot of journaling. Some I will share, eventually and some that is just for me. Those that are just for me, I wrote  in the mist of ALL my emotions. Writing the sh*t out was my form of self care. It was my TIMEOUT. Time, to think, to cry, to laugh, be grateful, find peace, but most of all, find Myself!

Why You Should Be Thrifting Now!

Featuredby The EDIT Chaos2 Comments on Why You Should Be Thrifting Now!
Why You Should Be Thrifting Now!

Hey, you HEY!! Why are you not thrifting? It’s great for the environment, saves you money, and helps support the local community. I’ve listed a few things that I believe are reasons to start thrifting.

  • Thrifting helps our environment, plain simple. As someone with a fashion degree, this has always been a very important reason that I try to limit my consumption (or find sustainable ways to repurpose clothing). The BEST and most sustainable way to shop is by shopping secondhand! Whether that’s Goodwill, Salvation Army, a local thrift shop, Plato’s Closet, etc. you are helping the environment.
  • If you didn’t already know this, the fashion industry is the SECOND most toxic industry right behind oil/petroleum. You probably would’ve NEVER thought that to be possible! I remember seeing the entire creation and consumption process in the documentary True Cost and if you need any more motivation on top of this post, you need to watch it. It really allows you to think about our actual wants vs. needs
  • You’ll also be sad to find out that most of your clothing that’s donated to Goodwill, or other big chain secondhand stores, is sent overseas to be sold. This hurts local economies and takes away from artisans who need to sell goods to survive! Buying from these thrifts shops helps to keep these items out of landfills and out of resale markets in third world countries.
  • HUGE reason. Kids grow in the middle of the night, really you kiss and tuck a 2feet tall person into bed and wake up to a 4feet tall person. Believe me, I’ve seen this happen. Secondhand is always a great option for their growing bodies. You can find some great secondhand clothing, if you take the time to look.

 

I know that a lot of people think of Thrifting as old ragged, ugly clothing. But if you give Thrifting a try, I promise you will find some great treasures. Hey, you might even find your next side hustle! “One closet purge, is another closet treasure”-Closetevict
