When you think about life in Hawaii, do you imagine sipping a Mai Tai on the beach under a palm tree? That's nice but that's not the whole picture of what it's like to live on the island. Do you ever picture rats and wild boars?My conversation this week is with NEPA native Rachael Maier who has recently returned to the region after years away living in San Francisco and Hawaii. She shares the beauty as well as the challenges of living on the Big Island and she tells me about her passion projects that all stem from wanting to live well and share that with others--through fragrance, energy healing and curating a collection of clothing made from natural fabrics. To learn about Rachael's perfumery, follow @wild.ephemera on Instagram and follow @deepwild.wardrobe to learn about her vintage clothing pop-ups.

The Nancy Meyers Aesthetic: How to Get the Cozy, Collecte Look on a Budget If you love a home that feels warm, collected, welcoming, and just a little bit effortlessly fabulous, there's a good chance you love the Nancy Meyers aesthetic. Think cozy kitchens, slipcovered sofas, stacks of books, flowers on the table, soft lighting, and rooms that look like actual people live there. The good news? You don't need a Nancy Meyers movie budget to bring some of that magic into your own home. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 7 elements that create the Nancy Meyers look and sharing 10 budget-friendly ways to get the feeling in your own home without redecorating from scratch. In This Episode The 7 decorating elements that make a Nancy Meyers-inspired home feel so warm and inviting Why warm neutrals are such a big part of the aesthetic How slipcovered furniture instantly adds that relaxed, collected feeling The secret to getting that gorgeous, layered lighting Why books are basically decor in these homes How natural textures keep neutral spaces from feeling boring The simple fresh touches that make a home feel alive Why the kitchen is the true heart of the home 10 budget-friendly ways to bring the Nancy Meyers aesthetic into your own house The 7 Elements of the Nancy Meyers Aesthetic 1. A warm neutral color palette Think creamy whites, warm beiges, soft taupes, muted blues and other colors that feel calm and timeless rather than stark or trendy. 2. Slipcovered seating Slipcovers give furniture that relaxed, comfortable, come-sit-down feeling that shows up again and again in Nancy Meyers interiors. 3. Abundant, layered lighting These rooms rarely rely on one overhead light. Instead, you'll find lamps, sconces, pendants, and other little pools of light layered throughout the room. 4. Books everywhere Books aren't hidden away. They're stacked, shelved, piled on coffee tables and tucked into corners. They add color, personality and, most importantly, the feeling that someone actually lives here. 5. Natural textures Jute, sisal, linen, wood, wicker and other natural materials bring warmth and texture to all those beautiful neutrals. 6. Fresh touches Flowers, branches, bowls of fruit and other little bits of nature keep these homes from feeling too perfect or static. 7. The kitchen is the heart of the home And we're not hiding all the good stuff in cabinets. Pots, cutting boards, wooden utensils, bowls and cooking tools become part of the decor. The kitchen looks like it's ready to be used. 10 Budget-Friendly Ways to Get the Nancy Meyers Look You don't need to replace your entire house to get this feeling. Start with what you already have. 1. Slipcover your existing seating. Before buying a new sofa, see if your current one can get a whole new personality with a slipcover. 2. Layer your lighting. Add a table lamp, floor lamp or small accent lamp. The goal is to have several sources of warm, inviting light instead of relying on one overhead fixture. 3. Thrift furniture or say yes to the hand-me-downs. That piece of furniture you've always turned down because it's not exactly your style? Take another look. A coat of paint, new hardware or simply placing it in the right room can work wonders. 4. Bring out your books...and remove the dust jackets. Hardcover books without their dust jackets often have beautiful, understated covers that instantly add warmth and personality to a room. 5. Put out bowls of fruit. A big bowl of lemons, apples, oranges or whatever is in season is an inexpensive way to add color and that fresh, lived-in feeling. 6. Try a sisal or jute rug. Natural-fiber rugs add texture and warmth without requiring a complicated pattern or a big decorating budget. 7. Bring the kitchenware out of hiding. Display your cutting boards, wooden spoons, pretty bowls and favorite pots. The things you use every day can also be part of the room's personality. 8. Use mismatched white dishes at dinner. They don't have to match perfectly. A collection of simple white dishes can feel collected, relaxed and beautiful when they're mixed together. 9. Replace heavy drapes with something lighter. Try sheer, linen or linen-look curtains to let more light into the room and create that soft, easy feeling. 10. Frame botanical prints. You can find beautiful botanical artwork inexpensively, especially secondhand. A simple frame and a botanical print can bring in that classic, collected look without a major investment. The Takeaway The Nancy Meyers aesthetic isn't really about having a perfectly decorated house. It's about creating a home that feels warm, comfortable, collected and lived in. And that's the part I hope you take away from this episode. You don't have to buy all new furniture. You don't need a giant decorating budget. And you definitely don't need to turn your home into a movie set. Start with what you already have. Add a little texture. Soften the lighting. Put the books on display. Bring the pretty kitchen things out of the cabinets. Add some flowers or a bowl of fruit. A few small changes can crank up the cozy dial in a big way.

You cannot have too many episodes on character development. Today we're lucky enough to have a new guest, Sensei Chrissy, for a comparison of Native American culture and Goju teachings as they were taught to us by Master Kelljchian. We had so much fun and information overflowed the time we had. Of course, we have tackled the code as taught by Master Kelljchian before. I'm going to tag an episode below. However, I'm tagging the one I put on YouTube. (Maybe you don't know I've been uploading old episodes to YouTube - so here's a way to check it out!)https://youtu.be/5NrfV6W8zOs?si=0TVqEeVei1-AjeggThat episode originally aired on May 4th, 2020.Also, Sensei Chrissy's mother has a book detailing many aspects of her culture and beliefs. It is called White Cloud Lakota Spirit. A simple search sent me to both Abe books and Thrift books. And, of course it's available on Kindle et al.....Check it out!!Thanks for listening and remember to scroll down a little to support the show: Support the showWe appreciate our listeners and thank you for sharing the podcast with friends.  Reach us all over the web.

What if the future of thrifting and reselling looked less like a traditional store and more like a creative pop-up experience in your own community? In this episode of the Get Thrifty podcast, Maggie sits down with Emily Sova of Grandma Goose Vintage to explore how a front yard pop-up shop became a unique way to sell vintage finds, connect with shoppers, and build a resale business around her passion for thrifting.

Just how niche is the secondhand retail market?Secondhand retail is one of the fastest-growing forces in retail, with the market expected to approach $80 billion by 2030. According to America's Thrift CEO Chris Homewood, that scale would make the category larger than the GDP of more than 130 countries.But the story is bigger than growth.As consumers spend more of their lives in digital environments, they are increasingly seeking experiences that feel tangible, personal, and unexpected. Thrift shopping delivers exactly that. Unlike traditional e-commerce, where shoppers search for a specific item, secondhand retail is built around discovery. The thrill comes from finding something you weren't looking for, a premium jacket for $9, a collectible hidden in plain sight, or a one-of-a-kind piece that turns a routine shopping trip into a treasure hunt.That experience is resonating with a new generation of shoppers. More than 60% of Gen Z consumers now shop secondhand, driven by a combination of value, sustainability, and a desire for experiences that feel authentic. The result is a customer base that spans income levels and demographics, proving that thrift has evolved far beyond its traditional roots.For America's Thrift, the opportunity is clear. The company operates 35 stores across the Southeast and is pursuing disciplined expansion, opening approximately five stores annually while building a footprint that stretches northward. Supported by strong community partnerships and a business model centered on convenience, the company is positioning itself for long-term growth.As retail continues to evolve, one thing remains constant: people still crave discovery. And in an increasingly digital world, the joy of finding something unexpected may be one of the most powerful drivers of all.What You'll HearWhy the secondhand market is projected to approach $80 billion by 2030The surprising reason Halloween is the biggest season in thrift retailHow thrift retailers source, process, and price millions of donated itemsWhy Gen Z is helping drive the growth of secondhand shoppingHow America's Thrift is expanding through profitable store growthWhat landlords and shopping center owners are seeing in the rise of thrift retailChapters00:01 – Chris Homewood's retail journeyFrom the Marine Corps to Circuit City, Target, Ross, private equity turnarounds, and now leading America's Thrift.04:08 – What is America's Thrift Stores?A look at the business model, footprint, mission, and charity partnerships.05:57 – Who shops at thrift stores today?Why thrifting now appeals to both value shoppers and younger consumers.07:21 – How thrift retailers acquire inventoryThe donation ecosystem that fuels the business.08:22 – The operations behind inventory flowWhy convenience, processing speed, and execution matter more than buying.10:49 – The power of fresh inventoryHow nine-day inventory turns keep customers coming back.13:21 – Resale, apparel, and the growth of secondhandUnderstanding the size and trajectory of the market.15:06 – Store size, pricing, and profitabilityHow America's Thrift evaluates locations and prices merchandise.16:44 – The growth strategyWhy the company is focused on disciplined expansion and profitable new stores.23:37 – Why secondhand retail is acceleratingThe consumer trends creating long-term momentum for thrift.26:41 – How traditional retailers view thriftCompetition, co-tenancy, and traffic generation.29:28 – E-commerce versus physical retailWhy brick-and-mortar remains central to the thrift experience.34:01 – The future of America's Thrift StoresWhat's next for the company and the broader secondhand category.

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we examine the enduring legacy of austerity – a policy that officially ran from 2010 to 2024, but whose cultural and political effects are still very much with us.The Labour government has made token gestures toward rolling back austerity – ending the two‑child benefit cap, for example – but the structural damage done to British society is likely unfixable without something approaching wartime levels of economic mobilisation. The real story, however, is not just about cuts. It is about how austerity was sold to the public.Drawing on Liam Stanley's *Britain Alone*, I explore how thrift became a nationalist virtue. The "keep calm and carry on" aesthetic, wartime nostalgia, and television shows like *Super Scrimper* turned prudent consumption into a marker of belonging. Those who made the "right" choices – growing vegetables, knitting, reusing leftovers – were celebrated as proper Britons. Those who didn't – often the working poor – were stigmatised as feckless, their poverty framed as a moral failing rather than a structural one.The two‑child benefit cap was never about economics. It was a weapon of class prejudice, designed to punish poor families for having "too many" children. And it worked – not because it saved money, but because it appealed to middle‑class anxieties about who deserves support.Austerity may be officially over, but its ideology of moralised consumption lives on.Topics covered:- The persistence of austerity after 2024- The two‑child benefit cap and class prejudice- Liam Stanley's *Britain Alone*- Wartime nostalgia and "austerity chic"- The "keep calm" phenomenon- TV thrift programmes and the moralisation of consumption- How consumer choices became markers of national identityExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

Finally profitable again, the auto insurance industry has developed a renewed sense of competition for customers. Clark shares guidelines for finding companies big on customer service and value.  Also,  Americans are saving big bucks through “no spending” trends, and switching retailers. Thrift-centered businesses like Goodwill and Dollar Tree are thriving across all demographics. Clark admits he was wrong about Dollar Tree's decision to move past its signature $1 price point, explaining how the transition to a multi-price range has elevated the brand across the country.
