All in Sustainable living
Every year, Americans toss out more than 25 million tons of food, and nearly 40% of food in the U.S. is wasted annually. That's the equivalent of about $165 billion – enough to fill 28,500 tractor-trailers. In efforts to minimize the amount of waste we produce, this summer, I’m taking steps to reduce its environmental impact by hosting picnics that are more sustainable.
Recycling makeup and skincare products can be especially challenging and confusing as they come in a huge variety of unique packagings. As attractive as beauty packaging is with all its glitter and gold, navigating through all the different tubes, pumps, jars, droppers, sprayers, and whatnot, and finding out what goes in which recycling bin can be a challenge.
Luckily, the beauty industry is shifting its focus towards sustainable beauty packaging and taking initiatives in the right direction.

This year, as you prepare for your celebration, try and reduce plastic during the holidays with these simple strategies.
Everything I've worn has been thrifted, upcycled, pre-loved, or clothes made from sustainable fabric and ethical practices. When I started this journey it was really because I was cheap and tired of spending money on clothes that were bad quality. As I was going through my journey I researched how bad fast fashion is for the earth. Not to mention the unethical practices and wages people have to endure who work in these fast fashion factories. I won't go into detail but will leave you with some eye-opening documentaries to see for yourself. Moving towards the slower end of fashion was easier then I thought. I'm a vintage kind of girl so buying pre-loved was really my scene and I didn't even know it.
