The Ripple Of Thrift Shopping: Will It Last A Little Longer?

As good as new — a thrift store declared. It was an unsullied, foreowned floral boxy shirt that the owner probably outgrew or exchanged.

Ditch Shein & Shop From These Homegrown Brands, Instead

Forget Shein and shop from these homegrown labels, instead. These labels work with artisans and are more sustainable.

This is me

Welcome to my rambling space. I'm Sunaina, a freelance writer and editor. Right now, I'm obsessing over learning new recipes, and dreaming of hiking in the mountains. I'm also discovering obscure musicians and poets on the internet (or, erm, mostly on Tumblr).

Tap on 'Read More' if you care to know more about me. No? Toodles, then.

What did I just read?

When I picked The New Sorrows of Young W. by Ulrich Plenzdorf, I imagined it would be a dark read. The summary clearly stated it involves the death of its 17-year-old protagonist. Instead, I encountered a flurry of his thoughts on art, music, and even jeans. I learned a thing or two about his favourite books (Salinger is involved) and heartbreak. It took me closer to the character, and despite knowing its development, I strangely enjoyed reading it. 10/10 recommend picking it.
