Herstory Repeating Itself

I Saved Big on Black Friday By Shopping My Own Closet
This year I unexpectedly saved a fortune on new fashion, not because of Black Friday, but because I discovered the nearly new treasures at the back of my closet. Seems like the holiday season sales started in my neighbourhood a day after Halloween's sweet treat debauchery ended. All I needed … [Read more...]
