So this is partly to help keep me honest about what I consume that has packaging/ keep track of my low buy/Project Pan. Also, when I moved home early January and was going through and KonMari-ing my stuff (still not done btw, when reading her book I was like there is no way it takes…

Why I’m Still Involved in My Sorority as an Adult
As a youth in Tennessee, the path for a young woman who wanted to go to college, was go to college, join a sorority, graduate with a “ring by spring” – I wanted a doctoral level degree so the “ring by spring” idea wasn’t there- graduate, do your thing for a few years, get married…

Mid-Week Procrastination
I’m really starting to love this little series, making it is definitely a bring spot in my week. However, it all started because I hate Wednesdays. I think they are worse than Mondays, all your energy and freshness from the weekend is gone, but the coming weekend is still so far away. So I have…

Obsessions: February 20, 2021
I feel like we don’t have a lot to hold on to anymore.

Our lives have become what we…

Mid-Week Procrastination

The most thought I’ve put into mascara ever
I bought a mascara yesterday. It took me 2 weeks to buy a mascara. I have never spent that much time thinking about a beauty product purchase in my life. It’s always been what I saw in a magazine, an influencer recommended it, or I saw it in Sephora or a drug store and liked…

6 Things I am doing to make my life more sustainable in 2021
Over the past several years I have been really inspired by the Zero Waste movement after being introduced to Lauren Singer’s platform online and then the wider zero/low waste community. I have already made changes like a plastic-free shower routine, eliminating plastic shopping bags, and only using reusable drinks containers (pre-COVID), and I make significantly…
