Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
RePlayGround is looking to help you unload some of those hundreds of cds you’ve uploaded to your computer and your digital playing device. Instead of leaving them sitting around your house taking up space, send them on over to the group, who is looking to add to their collection for their recycling projects.
Bonus for those with over 250 they want to send at once: if you contact them, they’ll arrange to have them sent so that you don’t have to pay postage!
If you’re someone who gets a little thrill from discovering a hidden gem in a secondhand store or loves the idea of curating a closet full of personality and stories, Second Chances by Macy Eleni is an absolute gem of a read. This book isn’t just about shopping—it’s about reclaiming your personal style in a way that’s sustainable, creative, and unapologetically YOU.
Macy brings all the charm and know-how of a seasoned thrifting queen, sharing her journey and passion for sustainable fashion in a really relatable, encouraging way. From practical thrifting tips to ideas for tailoring and revamping your finds, it’s packed with advice for anyone looking to ditch fast fashion and embrace a more mindful, expressive way of dressing.
What I personally loved is how Macy makes space for all styles, all sizes, and all personalities. It’s not about looking like everyone else—it’s about discovering what makes YOU feel amazing, and doing it with flair. For someone like me who’s drawn to quirky, eclectic home décor and wardrobe choices, this book was like a breath of fresh thrifted air.
Whether you’re brand new to thrifting or a seasoned op-shopper, Second Chances will have you looking at your closet—and your shopping habits—in a whole new way.

I use my CDs in the garden to scare away animals. Tie them to a string, and then tie them to a long stick, then put the stick in the ground and they move around with the wind and reflect the light they also make noise and that keeps most of the birds and other animals scared to come into the garden.
