We now think twice about purchasing fast fashion and learning on how to avoiding plastic. I've always been transparent with you all, it's not always convenient to say no to plastic.

Start composting a quick and easy guide

Hawaii

In 2020, it was the year to take sustainability up a notch. Let's face it, most of us were stuck at home in the middle of a pandemic, it sure was a great way to spend my "spare" time learning about composting. I've been contemplating composting for the past three years! I can't believe it took me so long. I was intimated by composting, and I kept telling myself it was too much work and I was too busy. End of 2019, I started doing a ton of research on how to compost. It's actually not that complicated. Living in Hawaii has inspired me to start gardening and compo[...]

I decided to dedicate a little[...]

23 Books you Should Read in Your Life

Irvine, CA

Hello, 2021! 2020 was a very interesting year with Covid-19 and being stuck at home. I never thought I would be listening to an audible book or take out a book at the library like the high school days. Trying to figure out how to get back into a routine and back to my reading schedule was tough, but I managed to get the kids on a set schedule for their naps and it has been a lifesaver. I've also adopted a more sustainable lifestyle and although I have a collection of my favorite books. I try my best to no purchase any books and be more mindful to adopt new ways t[...]
