Check out Michelle Obama wearing something second hand! Super beautiful, also super expensive: http://goodwillnynj.wordpress.com/2010/12/29/a-new-years-resolution/
Beautiful!
1st: Reduce. 2nd: Reuse. 3rd: Recycle. Three great guidelines to reducing our impact on the earth. This blog focuses on the 2nd - reuse. With a little creativity your used and second hand items can become updated and exciting - and you can feel good about not adding to the landfill and saving money.

Red Wine Vinegar - SO easy!
Hold on folks. This could quite possibly be the easiest re-usable idea ever!
Don't know about you, but we cook with red wine vinegar a lot, in salad dressings, when cooking spinach and other greens, in soups. My fellow happy-cooking-friend and I got to thinking... how do they make vinegar? We googled "DIY vinegar" and BAM! Our minds were blown.
To make red wine vinegar: leave out your left over red wine. Wait a couple of months. Done.
This guy explains it a bit better: http://www.chow.com/food-news/54317/how-to-make-homemade-vinegar/
Here is my version, I put it in a pretty bottle I found at, you guessed it, Goodwill.
I will let you know how it goes. Next, what to do with wine bottles...
