    Always get your money's worth. Try getting clothes for a kid who is 7 ft tall my mom had to literally hunt for clothes for my little brother who went from average size to giant practically overnight well we weren't paying attention 🤦🏻‍♀️ she had replace his pants every two months and there was only one place in town that sold them. And she had to go to another place just to find his long sleeve shirts because he couldn't wear the average ones because they were short on him they were mid length on him they fit him except on the arms 🤦🏻‍♀️😥 ,turn the jeans inside out, keep them zipped up and button up while in the washing machine this way, no damage to other clothes in the washing machine.

    I rejuvenate my jeans every four or five washes using Rit Dark Blue Denim dye. Pull them inside out and run a regular wash cycle with extra rinse; let them air dry and after drying run them through the dryer on the 20 minute medium heat "Wrinkle Reducer" cycle, with a couple of large Downy dryer sheets. Hang them up and they're ready for the next wear. No ironing needed.

    Always ZIP the zippers and.BUTTON the buttons before putting in the wash. Leaving open zippers wears them out and eventually wont stay zipped up anymore. Also prevents wear and tear on the teeth, teeth loss, and the slider from going off the rails.

    When it comes to environmental consciousness, many of the accessories have to be dropped which this channel celebrates and encourages to have multiple items to suit several occasions. You really don't need ties, you don't need hats (unless one is bald and needs for protection), so many watches, and you really don't need as many shirts as marketed by this channel. All this if you are environmental conscious.
