Life
A lot of being in your 30s is about getting rid of things you’ve held onto for too long. Think: one-sided friendships, a job that underpays, and those items kept for their sentimental value over practicality. You’re definitely not alone if you have a drawer full of oversized sleep T-shirts with one too many holes or are still using permanently stained hand-me-down pots. But turning 30 provides that perfect opportunity to start fresh — or, as the kids say, level up. Why not take it?
Start small by purging your overly stuffed closet or the falling-apart products you’ve been meaning to replace for the better part of a decade. Then, shop smart by purchasing affordable replacements that hit the trifecta of being sensible, stylish, and durable.
