Low Impact Living Session 2: declutter, dejunk and downsize to a small wardrobe
Thursday 5th July, 6 – 7:30pm at the Margaret River Library
RSVP here with EventBrite
Is your wardrobe taking over your mind? Your life? And all four rooms of your house? Time to Declutter, Dejunk and Downsize to a small wardrobe.
Join Patricia as she discusses her minimalist lifestyle and invites you to make steps towards reducing the size and impact of your wardrobe. She will take you through her capsule wardrobe and explain the value of quality over quantity and how to make mindful decisions about your wardrobe. Embracing a sustainable mindset by minimizing waste and engaging with positive benefits of a minimalist lifestyle.
Somewhere along the line, it seems we’ve been led to believe that our possessions are an extension of who we are. Whatever size your wardrobe, learn how to declutter and dejunk your fashion collection for a downsized version of the new YOU!
Leave this discussion with a clear idea of how little you REALLY need and how to sustainably get rid of the things that no longer spark joy!
Spaces limited, please RSVP using EventBrite with this link: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/low-impact-living-session-2-declutter-dejunk-and-downsize-to-a-small-wardrobe-tickets-47095800808

Scams Awareness Week 21-25 May
Australians are urged to be on the lookout for threat-based impersonation scams by taking a moment to Stop and check: is this for real?
In these scams, scammers pretend to be from a government agency or well-known company. Their aim is to scare you into parting with your money or personal information and if you don’t, they threaten you with fines, disconnecting your internet, taking you to court, arrest or even deportation.
If you’re contacted unexpectedly and threatened by someone who says they’re from a government agency or trusted business, always consider the possibility that it may be a scam – then stop and check if it’s for real.
For more tips and information about these scams, where to get help or to report a scam, visit the Scamwatch website
Note that if you are on the Australian Government ‘Do Not Call’ register, this will not deter scammers from calling you – their aim is to rob you, so they won’t be respecting your registered wish to not be called.
