With the New year, I'm wanting to get refocused on my fitness journey. I've realized that my health has become an after thought. I simply don't consider the impact that my weight, diet, and physical activity, or lack there of, has on my life. I have to stop making excuses for my daily poor diet decisions and failures with staying active. This needs to be a change in lifestyle. I must center health. My plans are to focus on heart health, both in diet and exercise. Workouts that focus on burning fat and building lean muscle will be at the center of my exercise routine. I plan on sharing the journey in 2022 as I tackle a new shift towards healthy eating and regular working out. I will share tips for where I had success and advice from my failures. I believe that seeing what worked for others helps with ensuring success of your own goals. Here's my plans for the first week: 

 Today is a day i’ve been dreading for some time, so i thought it’d be nice to start it off with some short affirmations:

 According to Google, the ‘online retail store’ is one of the fashion trends in 2020.

I'm really excited to hear that, since saving money is one of my favorite things to do.

There is nothing more satisfying than finding that rare vintage piece that you can style to perfection.

Unfortunately, with the current COVID lockdown, most thrift stores are closed, making the thrift business a tricky business.

However, that doesn't mean you have to stop saving altogether.

In this article, I'll help you make the most of the security of your home.

Without further ado, these are the best thrift stores online in 2021!

1. Depop

Depop is an online thrift store that allows people to buy and sell clothing via iOS and Android platforms.

The market has attracted celebrities to open their own individual stores, with some donations of the proceeds to charitable causes.

Depop is popular with members of the Millennial and Generation Z because it gives them a way to buy the famous clothes they see, and bring back things they don’t want for money.

Another advantage of the Depop online thrift store is its Instagram-like design, giving it a social media feel.

2. he Wi.

hewi. (Hardly Ever Worn It) is a London-based online thrift store whose goal is to create a seamless shopping experience through its platform.

The platform includes used designer clothes for women, men and even children that are either new or have hardly been worn.

Allows buyers to purchase items, place offers for future purchases, or sell their designer products at no additional charge.

VIP service is also available for retailers, who want HEWI London to do everything on their behalf, from collecting the items to customer inquiries.

This method also allows sellers to remain anonymous if they wish.

3. thredUP

Probably the largest online second-hand shop in the world.

thredUp contains more than 35,000 species, from Gap to Gucci, Lululemon, Zara, J. Crew and Ann Taylor.

In addition, they inspect, photograph, list and ship the items for you.

What I love about this market is the easy return prediction with free shipping and orders over $ 79.

To date, this online thrift store has recycled over 100 million items, giving second-hand clothes a second life.

4. Vestiaire Collective

Since 2009, Vestiaire Collective has expanded its local activities from Paris to a global scale, in more than 50 countries in Europe, the United States and soon in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore.

By providing over 3200 fashion items per week for shoppers to choose from, Vestiaire Collective guarantees a unique shopping experience for its customers.

Vestiaire Collective is also developing new functions to improve its shopping services, e.g. B. a smart email notification feature that lets shoppers know whether or not a particular item they are looking for is listed.

The platform allows interaction with sellers for more information and negotiation on offers.

In addition, a team of highly trained counterfeit experts is in place to verify the authenticity of the items, so that customers can feel secure knowing that the items they are exchanging are genuine. Old

5. Wardrobe of Tomorrow

More recently, the market has launched its online thrift store.

Here, existing buyers in the market can sell their luxury and high-end clothing to designers and other buyers.

In addition, the marketplace allows outside buyers interested in selling or buying high-end second-hand clothes, bags and shoes to create an account and trade for free.

The marketplace accepts all types of payment, offers free worldwide shipping and an excellent returns policy.

Also, amazing customer support, assigning each potential customer a good person as their dedicated account manager that you can text or email.

Quite often I find myself feeling lazy or guilty even after working all day. Here are some things that help me feel more productive and fight the false feeling of laziness:

• Move your body -You don’t have to work out but stretching or taking a walk is going to be extremely beneficial
• Have a to do list -Ticking things off will be a sort of visual proof for your brain. In case you have only one thing to do that day, you can break it down to smaller parts and write that down
• Change up the type of task here and there -If you switch things up you’ll feel like you’ve done a lot more. In case you can’t do that, changing your surroundings or way of work can do the same thing
• Be social -Talking to someone even for a moment will help get you out of your bubble
• Keep your room clean and let in fresh air -Try to put things where they belong every evening and do a bigger clean up at least once a week. This will keep you feeling organized
• Don’t stay in bed -No matter how much work you do, by lying down in bed all day you get yourself feeling sluggish, lazy and tired
• Wake up early(ish) -You absolutely don’t have to wake up early if you’re a night person but waking up before 10am should be a habit. Waking up and seeing everyone up already could make you feel bad and the day passes by quicker. I like to wake up around 8. It’s not insanely early and yet it keeps me feeling productive
• Create something -Leaving something physical that is your creation, could be food or art, is the ultimate proof of work
• Stay clean and fresh -Smelling nice and not feeling tired and sticky is very important

Not so long ago I got an ask about what do I use to help me stay organized and keep my bullet journal pretty. Since I kind of half-assed the answer back then, I’m making a whole post now:

• Journal/notebook/planner -This is probably everyone’s number one. YOU can get a blank notebook or already done planner. I personally use dotted notebooks but anything else is just as functional
• Pen that you like to write with -This one is so obvious it hurts to write down
• File/binder -Have a plastic file or a binder for important documents and receipts. Binder can be divided into sections and can last you years
• Reminders and alarms -Technology is handy so use it! Set alarms for important things in your phone
• Pinning board -I have my schedule and notes right in front of my face
• Post it notes -Take the whole bunch of them and put them in your journal so you always have them on hand. Smaller ones can be used as book-marks for your journal
• Highlighters -I use the mild ones but to be honest for anything important like notes I prefer normal ones. You want important shit to be bright
• Tape -Not only can you tape stuff into your journal but I also like to use colorful tape as bookmarks!
• Ruler -This is mostly for the aesthetic part. Especially if you don’t have dotted/checked paper, ruler will come in handy
