I am a huge advocate for shopping secondhand. Buying from thrift stores is better for the environment, for local store owners, and for your wallet. We're so fixated on new things with brand new tags on them when there are super cute and usable clothes right in front of our eyes!

Here are some hidden thrifting gems in Michigan that will be sure to keep your closet full!

1. Closet Overload — Brooklyn

Closet Overload is a small town charm.

This shop is a small little spot in Brooklyn, Michigan that always has a ton of great finds. The shop owner is always there and loves to take your picture to post on the store's Facebook page. What's even better is that if you don't live in town the store's owner will post new items on the store's social media accounts, and if you find something that you can't live without, she will ship it to you!

2. Second Glance Resale Shop — St. Clair Shores

Second Glance is the perfect stop for thrifters in Southeast Michigan. They usually have some awesome brand named items, and I usually find the coziest winter coats there.

3. Community Thrift Store — Clinton Township

This thrift store is bound to stock up your comfy T-shirt and crewneck supply. The size of the store is a bit overwhelming, but with some time and patience, you will run into some great finds!

4. Eldorado General Store — Detroit

This eclectic beauty is a vintage junkie's dream. In addition to thrift clothes, they also have locally crafted decor and jewelry that you'll love. They have the most unique items that are sure to add some funk to your closet!

5. Regeneration Clothing — Clawson

This store has the perfect mix of vintage and modern items. Get your brand-name items, while also picking up something that will take your closet back in time.

6. Plato's Closet — East Lansing

This Plato's Closet is the absolute best. This place is the one-stop-shop to completely restock your closet for any season. It even has name brands like Lululemon and Free People!

7. Lost and Found Vintage — Royal Oak

This cute little shop is the perfect spot to go explore with your gal pals. It has a unique selection and you never know what you are going to find!

8. Style Encore — Shelby Township

This store is my one-stop-shop for all business attire. Style Encore has a large selection of business clothes that will have you feeling fresh and ready to crush your next interview.

9. Boro — Detroit

This Detroit shop is the cutest little hidden gem. They have great clothes with tons of current styles. Not to mention the store has a rad aesthetic that provides the perfect background for your next Instagram post.

10. Studio North — Adrian

Last but not least, Studio North is the best place for any college student. They have the best selection to restock your closet for any semester. As a bonus, they post several outfits a day on their social media so you can see what they might have before you make a trip there.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
