Sayonara Single-Use! Leaf Shave is Making Sustainable Shaving Easy
Because disposable razors and their replacement cartridges are made out of multiple materials, they're not recyclable outside of a few specialized programs.

From Houseplants to Produce
Over the past few years my interest in keeping and growing plants has grown by leaps and bounds. And, based off the reactions to some of my recent IG posts, I’m not alone. Our new home was nearly 2 years in the making. Shortly before the process began in earnest I became super interested in home gardening and ways to maximize small spaces.
