Fall Outfits That Aren’t A Basic Sweater and Jean

Posted on July 6, 2021

Fall outfit ideas and trends that’ll get you so pumped up for the cold weather.

Normally, fall outfits serve the same range of earthy tones and reused boot designs (*yawn*), but not this year. For once, I’m actually excited about the fresh looks about to hit. Upcoming 2021 fall trends are looking 100% unexpected: bright neons, fringed-out accessories, unexpected animal prints, and, yes, the tie-dye you lived in for all of summer 2021.

All that and many, many more cool-as-hell trends are about to hit your TikTok feed and your closet. (Ever hear of scrumbo dressing? Yeah, keep reading for more on that.) So check out these cute fall outfit ideas and trends that’ll get you so pumped up for the cold weather.

Cute Backpack shopping is, hands down, the best part of back to school.

15 ZERO WASTE BATHROOM SWAPS TO MAKE THIS YEAR

Posted on June 29, 2021

Eco friendly home improvements are a real win-win. Who doesn’t love saving money and the environment at the same time?

Floss, cotton buds, makeup sponges… We create a surprising amount of waste during our self-care routines. And that’s why creating a zero waste bathroom is a great place to start on your sustainability journey.

When it comes to zero waste living, it’s best to change one area of your life at a time rather than diving all in. Start small–slow and steady wins the race.

Now, a zero waste bathroom may sound like an oxymoron. After all, it’s literally the place we go to when relieving ourselves of, well, waste.

However, the point of making zero waste bathroom swaps is to eliminate unnecessary rubbish and ensure the only waste you create is your own.

These are some of the best sustainable bathroom products to banish plastic and single-use items from your routine. Making these simple swaps will give you a beautiful eco-friendly bathroom you won’t mind showing off!

Zero Waste Toilet Brush + Cleaner

$11.99

Cleaning might not be the sexiest topic, but cleaning products and tools are traditionally some of the worst environmental offenders. Fortunately, that’s changing! One of the best zero waste swaps you can make for your bathroom are eco-friendly, biodegradable toilet brushes. Make sure to buy an all-natural wooden brush free of bleach and BPA. Pair that with eco-friendly bathroom cleaner and you’re good to go! You can also pick up a biodegradable toilet liner to make cleaning easier and more environmentally friendly.

BUY FROM AMAZON

Zero Waste Q-tips (a.k.a. Cotton Buds)

$12.96

There are plenty of reasons to keep your zero waste bathroom well-stocked with cotton buds–makeup corrections, first aid care, outer ear cleaning… But there’s absolutely no reason they need to be made of plastic. In fact, many countries have started banning the sale of plastic q-tips because they’re so abundant and sit in landfills for hundreds of years. Fortunately, multiple biodegradable options have entered the market. And these bamboo and organic cotton ones from Humble Co. are what I use.
