Description

Send Katie a Message with Your Questions/Thoughts! :)

How many of you have that one friend who’s always scoring incredible deals while thrifting? How many of you want that friend to teach you how to do this for yourself??

Ugochi Nwaneri, Professional Personal Thrifter & Creator of Thrift 'n Prosper, is that friend for you! She  joins Katie Kurpanek, Eco-Living Coach and Podcast Host, to share her personal experiences in the world of thrifting and gives amazing tips to help YOU thrift like a pro... Really putting the "pro" in Thrift 'n Prosper! ;)

From her website: “Inspired by her Angel mommy, thrifting has largely been incorporated into Ugochi’s life since early childhood, and over the years, it has allowed her to further explore fashion through a more sustainable lens. Thrifting not only for herself, but for others as well, is an art form she takes pride in and truly enjoys."

In Ugochi's experiences growing up, thrifting wasn’t viewed as a trend or an art-form. Much of her story resonated with my own – being raised in a big family on a tight budget and depending on hand-me-downs and thrifted treasures. 

We may not have felt it back then, but we both know now that shopping secondhand is truly an art where you can find nice things for less cost, and it’s the most sustainable option, too! 

Ugochi can thrift with you, thrift for you, or you can even shop from her online boutique of thrifted treasures. Check out her website for more info!
