Fashion Revolution Day

Colin Maxwell from Zero Waste Hubs

The holiday may be a bit obscure but the message is urgent: we need to change our relationship to our wardrobe.
At the Zero Waste Hub, we see so much 2nd-hand clothing in pristine condition but whose owners fell out of love with them too fast to wear them out.
As part of our mission to reduce waste in Aotearoa, the Zero Waste Hub is offering a special deal from now until May 31st: come in and create a complete outfit for just $6. A bottom, a top, and a piece of headwear for the price of a fancy cup of coffee.
The catch? You've got to model the outfit for us and let us post a pic to our socials.
It's a small price to pay for a whole new outfit.

A tip for the Season Of Overwhelm

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours, are you feeling overwhelmed? Multi-tasking. Said yes too much? Or not saying no enough. Committing and then not getting as much done as expected. Too many things on the to-do list .... And now it’s the holiday season and everything is on turbo-charge!
Here’s one tip that can help move your attention for a moment’s break from all that over-thinking and relentless planning.

Use your body as a way of becoming present. Take advantage of short moments of waiting, or find a pause during the day to switch your attention to what you are feeling in your body at this moment.
Start by taking an intentional breath into your chest and down through your abdomen. Emphasize the exhale to get all the air out. From there, you might simply feel the weight and the connection of your body to the chair you’re sitting in or your feet to the ground.
If you would like to train your ability to cope with overwhelm, good-quality mindfulness training is proven to help.
