"On a recent trip, I realized I didn't have a tote bag — only my luggage, which wasn't ideal for a long day walking through Chicago. I did have a scarf, though! So I followed along with this YouTube tutorial and made a makeshift tote for the day, which ended up getting plenty of compliments. (I eventually picked up a Baggu from a local boutique, but this quick repurpose did the trick for a day!)" [Check it out]
A reader comment we love:
"I really like the concept of modeling behavior to give friends/family a chance to be the people we most want to see in the world. My therapist recently recommended modeling joyful eating and drinking at parties because I find myself surrounded by disordered perceptions of food, eating, and social drinking. I think many people eat normally at home, but in social settings, people (often women) fall into the habit of parroting diet culture in public and at parties. I try to be the first to go back for seconds or dessert without making a big deal, talk about new foods, recipes, or restaurants I love, and show that I genuinely love to feed myself and that I don't judge myself when I indulge in social settings."
