Zero waste activities for free/cheaper stuff to do while you're social distancing at home. Alright my friends, let’s save some lives by social distancing ourselves from one another for a little bit. I wanted to provide a list of stuff you will most…

I love that I'm seeing more and more people talking about swaps they're making in their lives to be more sustainable. One of those hot topics is zero waste bathrooms swaps. Normally, these cover shampoo, conditioner, and beauty/skincare. But what do…

Plastic wrap SUCKS. But have no fear, there are sustainable plastic wrap alternatives out there! But I know that's a bold start to a blog post, I know. Did you know that each year, Americans alone buy enough of it to shrink-wrap Texas?! While the…

We all understand just how important it is to get a good night’s sleep. And yet many of us struggle to get in those precious eight hours. In a constantly, outstanding, sleep deprived culture, I’m making it my mission to figure out how I can sleep the…

Teabags: a small thing that I was shocked to learn was made with plastic. Well, at least most of them do. Why would companies even include plastic in this process? Short answer, they want to create a sturdy bag that doesn't disintegrate in hot water…

Zero waste dishwashing soaps was a change I made pretty easily for just myself. However, it took my significant a little bit of convincing. But after presenting him with these 4 options, he found one that he liked and we have never looked back! The…

Not sure if you’re starting to realize this about me, but I love food. It seems I can’t go two hours without munching on something. Honestly, knowing I can make awesome snacks saves me a ton of money too. I never feel the need to buy chips or a…

I love lunch. Well, I really love food. I’m a huge fan of making my own meals now that I’ve invested in a few kitchen staples and have a little more time to cook on the weekends. That being said, I was a student last year and the last thing I wanted…

If you follow me on Instagram (shameless plug - follow me here) , you’ll know I’m obsessed with my morning cup of coffee. I tend to wake up at 6:10 and make my way to the kitchen to start my kettle at 6:20. Although I like to think that I’m not…

Zero waste cleaning solutions don't have to be complicated to make and can be just as effective as other traditional cleaners. The biggest difference between these and the ones you find on shelves in Target or Walmart is that you save those plastic…

Ok, I’m going to be completely transparent right now. I am not a vegan. I’m primarily a vegetarian for environmental reasons, and I don’t think eating meat is necessary for the majority of people in today’s society. I also don’t want something to…
