Reading @bitchmedia on my porch in a thunderstorm is my new favorite pastime. I think the thunder and lightning express my feelings towards the patriarchy. #bitchmedia #feminist #feminism #supportindependent (at Wake County, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMrCJQBTBO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qq2gdfbngh34

Just received my first @hungryharvest delivery!!! Everything looks delicious and I love the idea of a surprise in every box. Also, this is probably the easiest (and laziest) way to help divert food waste. #hungryharvest #foodwaste #zerowaste #sustainable #healthylifestyle #thekissblog #healthy #simple #simplifylife #homemade #lovethyveggies #keepitsupersimple #keepitsimple #zerowastehome #zerowastelife #lowwaste #sustainable #bodypositive #bodypositivity

My First Month Going Vegan

My First Month Going Vegan

*As a disclaimer, I’m currently in eating disorder recovery and have decided with my nutritionist to go with the idea of being “mostly vegan” while I work through my recovery. After months of the universe giving me hints to try to go vegan, I made the leap about a month ago and haven’t looked back! I always been curious about plant-based lifestyles. I grew eating meat, eggs and dairy as part of a…

Why Did I Decide to go Zero Waste?

Why Did I Decide to go Zero Waste?

There’s lots of articles on the Internet about how to go zero waste and a lot of them have many great tips in common. However, each person’s journey to go zero waste is different and can inspire others. Here’s mine 🙂 In early 2017 I started going through my belongings and purging as I was preparing to move to an apartment for a year and then to move to another state after that. I wanted to have…

Becoming A Conscious Consumer

Whenever you buy something, you are voting with your money. I first learned about conscious consuming from Alli Cherry on YouTube (check her out, she’s awesome!). In a couple of her videos Alli talks about being more aware of who you are buying from and even why you are buying something. My zero-waste journey has not led to less stuff in my life, but less MEANINGLESS stuff in my life. Now when I…

It's the Most Emotional Time of the Year

Happy new year!

It’s that time of year again! Do y’all ever feel that the last week of the year holds a lot of emotion? Thinking about the past year and the one just around the corner, I’m getting a bit overwhelmed.   2017 was definitely a rough one for the world. Personally, it was fantastic, awful, life-changing, upsetting, and enlightening. I lost a couple of loved ones, but I’ve also come into beautiful…

Loving my new #zerowaste hydration routine! Charcoal, glass jar, and a metal straw. Simple and effective! My water tastes great, is filtered, and there is no plastic in site.

The Battle of the Slice

The Battle of the Slice

Eating pizza in public has become my new Everest. As someone on the road to recovery from an eating disorder, eating pizza has become an emotional rollercoaster of an experience. I write this as I sit in my favorite pizza place, listening to classic rock and trying to fight the voices in my head as the lunch rush hits full swing. For those who have never dealt with an eating disorder, it’s a…

Practicing Radical Self-Care

How many times in the past week have you stopped and realized your muscles were tensed? Have you found yourself drowning in work? Do you avoid work just for a moment of relaxation, just to realize you can’t seem to find it? You need some radical self-care in your life. These past two weeks have been rough for me. I’m in the beginning of structured eating disorder recovery. My dog passed away last…

Working on practicing radical self-care today! I just moderated a class on body positivity and the importance of being compassionate to yourself. Now I’m trying to practice what I preach. Sitting down to have a cup of tea and creative writing is feeling luxurious today! #selfcare #radicalselflove #zerowaste #sustainable #healthylifestyle #thekissblog #healthy #simple #simplifylife #homemade #insulinresistance #lovethyveggies #keepitsupersimple #keepitsimple #zerowastehome #zerowastelife (at Infusion Coffee & Tea Crafters)
