Hey Hey! If you've been reading Pretty Real for any length of time you know I love thrifting. As a kid, I used to go thrift stores with my mom and loved discovering unique finds or even just name brand clothing for pennies. There's something about thrifting that feels like a treasure hunt.

I recently heard this advice from an interior designer: every room should have a thrifted or vintage item in it- something unique that you can't find at a box store. As I look around my home, I think I've done that unintentionally. Well I just discovered a new thrifting source and besides the obvious pros of being budget and environmentally friendly (yay for recycling!), this store also supports a great cause. It's called Recovered Treasures and it supports an organization called Healing Transitions. Healing Transitions is a non profit recovery facility for homeless individuals with alcohol and other drug problems. Their mission is to break the cycle of poverty and addiction by providing a peer based recovery program, at no cost to participants. I don't know about you but homelessness is something I care about but often don't know how to directly impact. We participate in drives and make donations here and there, but I always feel like there's more I could do. One of the things I love about Recovered Treasures is that 100% of the proceeds from my purchase, helps support Healing Transitions. It's such a win/win.
