Shopping Freaks, It’s Time For Some Guilt-Free Swapping At “Exchange Room”!

Shopping Freaks, It’s Time For Some Guilt-Free Swapping At “Exchange Room”! Have you ever felt that your wardrobe doesn’t have enough space to contain all your clothes? Your wardrobe probably is drowning in a sea of clothes that you are not using anymore, but you want to keep them in case of any kind of need later. We all tend to do that, without realising that these clothes will end up in a landfill in less than a year. While some people maybe shopping to get the latest trends, some might be just doing it out of boredom or as an activity to indulge in outside your mundane work or home life. No wonder it’s called retail therapy. What can we do about this? Is there any way we can control this  shopping urge? Have you ever heard of the guilt-free retail therapy? A place where fashion sustains without the usual use and throw technique? If not, Bangalore has an amazing eco-friendly fashion initiative. Started in July 2014 by four friends, who are fashion enthusiasts, it is called the “Exchange Room”. This initiative works with a motive to create a sustainable shopping experience by swap and shop from the pop-up stores. They host events that you can attend with your friends and do some sustainable and guilt-free shopping by buying or selling some pre-loved quality clothes. This social gathering is the perfect place to swap your branded and quality clothes that don’t fit you anymore with something that you like and fit into. Don’t have any clothes to swap? Well, you can still buy some stunning pre-loved items at a throw-away price. The Exchange Room is all about creating a culture of mindful consumption to induce a change of attitude towards fashion with nurturing generosity. The Exchange Room has already hosted 15 events in Bangalore with the help of some incredible fashion influencers to spread the aim and vision of this lovely community. [envira-gallery id=”5309″]

Head To Mini Tibet, Only Five Hours From Bangalore

Head To Mini Tibet, Only Five Hours From Bangalore

Head To Mini Tibet, Only Five Hours From Bangalore Located just five hours out of Bangalore, Bylakuppe is the biggest Tibetan settlement outside of Tibet. Monasteries, monks in maroon robes and prayer flags, there’s almost everything here you’ll find in Tibet. Things To Do In Bylakuppe: Visit the Namdroling Monastery Also known as the golden temple or as the Tibetans call it – Thegchog Namdrol Shedrub Dargye Ling, is specially famous for its three copper and gold plated statues of Buddha (one 60 Ft. high and the other two 58 Ft. high). You can find prayer beads, prayer wheels and many monks as the temple also doubles up as a lodging facility with over 200 rooms for the monks who are studying here. Bylakuppe also has many Buddhist universities for advanced Buddhist practices. Shop At Tibetan Shopping Centre The Tibetan Shopping centre is located right outside the temple, making it a commercial spot for tourists to shop and take back souvenirs. The shops lined one after the other, sell everything from prayer flags, clothes and knick-knacks. You can stay in Bylakuppe at pocket-friendly prices. There are no good star hotels in the vicinity, so your best bet would be the monastery guesthouses like the Sera Jey Monastery or Sakya Monastery Guest House that are clean and well equipped with bedding, bathrooms and furniture. The monks live a simple life that requires them to wake up early; hence their day ends early too. You won’t see much activity post 6 pm here and it is very peaceful. What To Eat? There’s no surprise that the food is basic with a variety of Thukpas, Momos and stir-fry rice and noodles. You can find some places that offer non-vegetarian fare, but there are a handful that are completely vegetarian. Potala Kitchen, Olive Garden and Green Land are good bets. Heads up, all the places make only vegetarian food on Wednesdays. As the monks are early risers, they are also early sleepers. Their mealtime is around 6 pm and it’s very hard to find any eateries or rather any shops open at that time. Tibetans are known to make some good beer, but unfortunately, alcohol is restricted here. Distance Bylakuppe is 40 km or an hour’s drive from Coorg Bylakuppe is 245 km or a five-hour drive from Bangalore Bylakuppe is 88 km or a two-hour drive from Mysore.
