    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. This means that the replacement cartridges used by some 160 million Americans as of 2019 will make their way into land fills this year. Leaf Shave will not only save me money, but also guarantees that I'll never contribute to that pollution ever again.

    Invest in a Better World with COIN

    Sponsored by COIN Conventional wisdom says we should start investing as soon as possible. The younger you are when you begin, the more time you have to build interest and the more money you’ll bank. But, for many of us (at least for me) investing still feels scary. When I think of investing and investors I imagine lots of stuffed suits with overly coiffed hair, carrying briefcases and trying to convince me to put my money in some big box superstore because ‘it’s a ‘sure’ thing’. At this point in my life, those types of investments are completely opposite of who I am as a person. However, the reality is…

I spotted our first snap pea blossom in the garden I spotted our first snap pea blossom in the garden!

Growing up in NJ, Winter meant snow, so it never really occurred to me to try planting a winter garden. Living in AZ, the Winters are much milder. I got curious and decided to experiment a little. I haven't grown snap peas since I was a little kid but I'm hopeful that I can harvest a few this season. I've also got a few types of radishes and carrots in grow bags to see what happens. Even if I don't get any produce I might be able to save some seeds 😅
Surprise harvest! We have one fruit bearing tree Surprise harvest!

We have one fruit bearing tree on our new property. When I saw it last, the fruit was still mostly green or stripey. I figured it was citrus but didn't know what kind.

This AM all the fruit were this gorgeous color and they smell AMAZING - like the world's tiniest, most fragrant lemons. I gave away some at work already and I REALLY want to try making infused sugar with them. Still not sure about the exact variety but they trend sweet. 

I'm so excited to start gardening in earnest there now!

Starting everyday in 2021 with champagne thanks to Starting everyday in 2021 with champagne thanks to @bite.

I've been using @bite for the past year because it's: 

Plastic free: from the glass bottles, to the compostable mailers sealed with paper tape.
 
Perfect for travel: the bottle easily fits in a dopp kit/make up bag or you could leave the bits in their pouch if you're worried about breakage.
 
+ It works & tastes great!: I normally use the Mint Charcoal flavor, but I'm diggin the Champagne, too. It's kind of like a fresh breath sweet tart. Both flavors are made with nHAp, a non-toxic, mineral alternative to flouride that also strengthens/remineralizes enamel and helps fight sensitivity.

Let's talk...HAIR. Hair is a huge part of the big Let's talk...HAIR.

Hair is a huge part of the big day. Going into planning my elopement I knew a few things: 

1) I wanted to look like me & keep things natural

2) I wanted my hair to be the BIGGEST it could be

3) and I wanted to keep things simple

I was already protective styling when we set our elopement date, so I decided to keep going until about a week out so I could retain as much length as possible. I also knew that I didn't want to hire a pro or spend the morning cursing and sweating while wrestling my hair into a complicated style. The day of, I used just two products to refresh my two day old wash and go - my rosewater moisture spritz and shea butter - easy peasy, stress free and only 4 (gigantic) bobby pins were involved in the whole thing! In a nod to all the Goddess vibes and crystal healing energy in and surrounding Sedona I chose to accent my fro crown with a rose quartz headpiece I found on Etsy in a shop called Only for You Design
