How much do you pay attention to what fabric your clothes are made out of? With my long journey in learning and finding out about ethical fashion, aside from thinking about the company’s production ethos and “green alternatives“, fabrics is something to also keep in mind. A polyester shirt can take between 20-200 years to…

If you had the chance to live 5 other lives, what you you do in each of them? This was the question that I came across whilst reading The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. Dream big and have fun with this thought experiment. If you’re like me, my other 5 lives are completely different from…

I’ve written a few posts on how minimalism has positively affected my life and the direction in life I want to head towards. I think embracing this lifestyle change has obviously been positive for me but I want to touch on the hard part of minimalism. If you’re new to minimalism, I wrote a post…

On my journey through minimalism and having enough, I’ve examined what items bring me the best value for money and what adds to my life. This process has been changed and refined over time and is deeply personal to each and every one of us. I’ve recently been thinking about how my purchases have changed…

I feel that there is overwhelming pressure to like environmentally friendly products and this guilt for not using or buying these…

When I started looking into minimalism about 7 years ago, I thought it was about owning 1 pair of jeans, 2 pairs of shoes and getting rid of all the clothes that you haven’t worn in the past 12 months. I studied capsule wardrobes and looked into mine with confusion on how I could make…

What can be done with a little creativity and waste? The creation of new products. I’ve recently come across some different videos of repurposing waste. It’s such a great application of the circular economy concept and ones that I would love to see grow and become more available for the average consumer. What do you…

It is that time of the year- Fashion Revolution week. The week where we ask “who made my clothes?”. It is the week to raise awareness and have an open discussion with brands to become more conscious and purposeful in their production and marketing of their clothes. To ask the questions about who exactly made…

I’ve recently been on a decluttering journey. The most recent was my make up. After a year of not going anywhere, I was sure that there were some tubes that would need to go. Make up doesn’t have a very long shelf life but yet it’s so easy to buy multiple shades of items or…
