Instagram post 2211432093066810629_2053097965 Our vibes for this year... it seems a little wrong to welcome in a new decade with any fanfare when so much of Australia is still burning. So today we want to remind you to take some time to self care this year, but also to look out for your family and friends. Sometimes the strongest people still need your help. Find a charity to support, in anyway you can. Support local businesses, even if it’s just following them on socials. Be aware of how you can make a difference by voting, recycling, attending protests and signing petitions. Be active. Be Zen. Just... be, sometimes. This city of ours is amazing and we’re incredibly lucky to call it home. So here’s to a year filled with health, happiness and a tonne of rain. (Love this pic from @carlahozz)
Instagram post 2206173821590146800_2053097965 Happy Christmas from us to you! Thank you for supporting URBANSWEAT this year, we hope you enjoyed the ride.
