This morning, I stopped by CBS Better Mornings to talk about my favorite ways to shop and both give back and get back! For ways to give back while shopping, first up is Socialvest. This is an amazing website that allows you to shop at many popular retailers and give back while you do it. It’s so easy — there’s really no excuse not to! Buckhead Thriftique is one of the best places I choose to donate used clothing because they make such great strides to help the working poor here in Atlanta. If you love art, shopping and supporting artisans around the world, Ten Thousand Villages is an amazing fair-trade organization with some really elegant pieces. Keep your skin smooth and help others with the Lush Cosmetics Charity Pot and give a pair of shoes to someone in need every time you buy your own from Toms. There are also great ways to get back while you shop. Nextworth gives cash and credit for old electronics and Ebates.com gives gift cards just for shopping. Freebie sites like Freebies4mom, Freeflys and Heyitsfree also give you free samples — perfect for trial or travel!
