November is upon us! While the weather is getting colder, we’re planning on spending more time with friends and family for the Thanksgiving holiday, so it’s essential not to lose focus. If you’re starting to consume less to live more, this time of year can be stressful. But it doesn’t have to be! Here at Postconsumers, we’re all about helping you reduce stress, practice mindful consumption, and live more joyfully. Here are some ideas to hopefully give you a more Postconsumer Thanksgiving this year!
Managing Food Waste At Thanksgiving: Thanksgiving food is fun to make and eat, but we’ve been taught that bigger is better. So how do you make a feast while wasting less? Stay practical so you’re not throwing lots of food away.
Navigating “Black Week”: Once Thanksgiving is over, it’s time for Black Friday, which kicks off the first holiday shopping week of the year. When it used to just be a weekend, it’s now a week-long phenomenon. Being aware of what you’re buying and what messages the media is sending you to buy is the first step in mindful consumption during “Black Week.”
Holiday Feasts On A Budget: With a few simple decisions, many can eat like royalty during the holidays. We love simple tips on how to eat like a King or Queen on a holiday budget.
The Opposite Of Stress: Remember, with everything going on during the holiday season, take some time out for yourself so you don’t get lost in the madness! Remind yourself what makes you satisfied so you don’t go overboard.
And remember to have fun this Thanksgiving, especially if it’s something nice you do for yourself. Have yourself a Very Postconsumer Thanksgiving this year!
