What is Heeg?

Heeg is a new "holiday" or end of the year event celebrating finishing what we already have! The goal of Heeg is not to purchase new things but to use up what we've been holding on to, to make room for the new year! You are encouraged to celebrate your Heeg by posting your Heeg moments with friends (make sure to be thankful to the thing or task you heeged)!

Examples of Heeg:

  • Using up the last of a candle

  • Using the last two teabags in that container

  • Finishing a game you've been meaning to forever

  • Finding all those extra hotel shampoos and using them up

  • Deep cleaning your fridge

  • Taking that bag of clothes to goodwill finally

  • Finishing that project you've forgotten about

  • Watching the last few episodes of a show you're almost done with

  • Reading the book that's been on your shelf for ages


Things that are not Heeg:

  • Using up toilet paper or other daily necessities that you'd be using anyways (unless you wouldn’t normally reach for them)

  • Shaming yourself about something

  • Buying something new to consume

  • Starting something just for Heeg
