It's definitely much better to go out walking than to go to Black Friday shopping. 🚶🏿♀️ #antiblackfriday #eveningwalk #nature #walking #outdoors #outdoorstherapy https://www.instagram.com/p/ClZuL6ILLKz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
On this day, maybe more than ever, I'm reminded of a pretty simple concept, which is sadly dying. BUY LOCAL! The big discount stores won't pump your tires, lend you a tool, or give you valuable advice. Remember all that has value. Put your money where it matters most. Your local bike shop needs your support. * thanks to @cabincycles for these cool stickers. Head over to their page and check out the great stuff they do. * #buylocal #smallbusinesssaturday #supportsmallbusiness #antiblackfriday https://www.instagram.com/p/BqhAbx_Ffqt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xjkn749uk9ru
Hit the trail today instead of the stores. The annual Stone Mountain Anti Black Friday hike was a bit shorter and very socially distant compared to previous years but it was nice to get out and spend time outdoors with the kids. Their return to college is coming much too fast. #antiblackfriday #outdoorfamilyadventures #stonemountainpark https://www.instagram.com/p/CIHLXlxnUMD/?igshid=1x0pjtykmtjt9

Du Black Friday ici vous ne verrez que la couleur. Je suis certes une créatrice avec des choses à vendre mais sur le principe les promotions, les prix cassés pour pousser à la consommation, pour vider du sur stock, à part du bruit et du gâchis.... cette journée marketing et commerciale qui pousse à la surconsommation de choses dont on a pas besoin. Sans compter ce matraquage publicitaire qui dure une semaine et qui vous brain wash m’épuise. Je n’aime pas ce monde la. Personnellement, aujourd’hui, j’ai décidé de faire la journée du noir, la couleur noire, une non couleur, celle de la profondeur abyssale et sublime, elle est enivrante et poétique et chic, avec son éternelle petite robe noire. D’ailleurs pour l’occasion je me suis habillée en noir de la tête aux pieds. Aujourd’hui je ne broie pas du noir, j’en fait l’appologie. 🖤🖤🖤. . #blackfriday #black #blackisbeautiful #color #blackcolor #apology #antiblackfriday #poulettessisters https://www.instagram.com/p/B5cSPJfIOzU/?igshid=1889ckzbwsb0o

TOMORROW | One question that sticks in my mind from the documentary @theminimalists, is “does this item add value to my life?” I continuously ask myself this when I’m at the store and I see a product or an article of clothing that I like. TBH, three years ago, I never would have asked myself this question. I never would have thought twice about buying a shirt that was on sale for 30% off because it was a “good deal” and I didn’t know what kind of impact I was having by purchasing it. I never thought about what happens to a product at then end of life or where it actually goes when it’s thrown away. That all changed when I learnt about where our clothing is made, who it’s made by and what synthetic fabric actually is (petroleum-based fabric blended with chemicals and toxic dyes that never break down) - essentially plastic. I learnt about where it goes at the end of its life and how we’re creating more waste than we know what to do with. Although, it’s hard to resist the sales on this frenzy of a day, do yourself a favour and ask yourself that question so you don’t end up buying something just because it’s “on sale”. By all means, if there’s something you need, that you have been holding off to buy, get it. I don’t believe we can stop buying things or clothing we need. I do think we need to buy less or none of what we don’t really need. I know this may seem counter-intuitive for a retail brand, but I didn’t start this brand so I could fit the mould. I started it so I could break the mould. #consciousfashion #buylessfriday #antiblackfriday #greenfriday #consciousfriday #fashionrevolution #ethicalfashion #minimalist #minimalism #buyless #conscious #madeinvancouver #buylessmovement #madeincanada #breakthemould https://www.instagram.com/p/BqgOyP8BW7-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zzrma0k6fxjz
