- Choose Sustainability: Opt for sustainable clothing options whenever possible.
Making Shopping a Joyful Experience
Shopping can be a daunting task, especially when your body has changed. Liz suggests preparing your mind before shopping and viewing it as an opportunity to connect with your body. She also recommends having a clear idea of what you’re looking for and being open to experimentation.
- Prepare Your Mind: Approach shopping with a positive mindset. See it as a chance to explore and express your style.
