{one of} my climate stories

When I was a little girl, my mom would drive us to my grandmother’s house about an hour and a half away. The beginning of the drive was always boring, although it had the crackling anticipatory energy the start of every road trip contains. It was the second part of the journey that was the most interesting, once we got off of the major interstate and began winding down I-264 through Wakefield and the other farming towns. There was the sign for peanuts, one of Virginia’s proud staples, the Virginia Diner and then on either side of the highway, farmland.

movie review: "kiss the ground"

“Kiss the Ground” offers up a hopeful solution for soaking up the carbon dioxide that’s becoming trapped in our atmosphere and accelerating climate change, but there’s a key voice missing throughout the documentary that compromises the message.

reusable face mask DIYs

Face masks have become a necessary part of our lives and by now you’ve probably reached the stage where you’re trying to match them better to your outfits or are looking for the most durable kind that can hold up in the wash. I shared some reasons why reusable face masks are better for the general public to choose over the disposable kind on my Instagram. With that in mind, if you’re feeling industrious and own, can borrow, or plan to own a sewing machine in the near future I thought I’d share three tutorials I’ve used.

how to define your personal style

How do you shop consciously without having an understanding of your personal style?

Short answer? You can’t.

Long answer? You can’t do it mindfully and well.

Even though I’m a fashion designer by training and worked in that field until two years ago, it took me a long time to understand my own personal style. Honestly, I didn’t have much of a personal style until I went to college. I knew that I liked vibrant colors (still true), prints (still true), and functionality (still true), but I didn’t ask myself a really key question.

How do you want to feel when you get dressed in the morning?
