I took a little vacation last week. I met up with my mom in San Diego! She still lives in Arkansas so we don’t get to see each other very often. I thought it would be nice to meet up in a little beach town for a fun Mother / Daughter weekend. We didn’t stay...
I canceled my trip to New York this September. I don’t travel very often. Sometimes, I feel like the only millennial in the world who’s not interested in that nomad lifestyle. I love being at home. For me, vacationing doesn’t feel that different from everyday life. The only true difference for me is a change...
Oh, Northern California. It’s amazing. I actually went to the beach more when I was in the landlocked state of Arkansas than I do living on the coast. Why, you might ask? BECAUSE IT’S COLD. Last weekend we had highs of 55, cloudy, and even rain. But, this week it flipped to the hundreds. Cool....
A couple of weeks ago I got to go to NYC, and it was awesome!! I only wish that I had a couple more days to explore more of the city. I was invited up for an interview with Refinery 29. I got to spend a day on set with hair, makeup, and best of all –...
Justin and I got married May of 2017. Clearly this post is coming a little late. We left for Maine right after our courthouse wedding. You can read more about the wedding in part 1 and part 2. We spent our wedding night at the Marker Hotel which was so lovely! The next morning, we...
Two weeks ago I made the trek home for both a joyous and somber occasion. We had my grandmothers memorial and celebrated her life. As many of you remember at the time of her passing, I wrote this post: 5 Ideas for a zero waste funeral. We chose to go with a tree option and...
This blog mostly focuses on things I’ve actually experienced. Recently, I’ve received several questions from readers about things I’m fairly clueless about like road trips/living on the road and home renovations. These are all awesome questions, that should totally be addressed! I love getting creative and thinking outside of the box and outside of my...
Flying and zero waste in the same sentence is kind of an oxymoron. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t take strides to make it less wasteful. Remember, it’s not about perfection; it’s about making better choices, and I will echo it again and again and again. My original travel post was great for a weekend...
I find it odd that camping has been one of the most difficult activities to create zero waste. It’s strange that living in the great outdoors is often coupled with a lot of trash and single-use-plastics. Doesn’t that seem backwards? Justin and I recently went on a camping trip, and it was my very first...
So, we’re going on a camping trip! And, I’m a little nervous; because, I’ve never gone camping before…. Well, I went once with my family when I was three-ish? But, I don’t think it counts. I hardly even remember it. So, I’m doing lots of planning aka spreadsheets and hoping I’ll be prepared! I will...
I just got back from a weekend trip to LA, and I cannot believe this is my first trip since Going Zero Waste. I met up with the wonderful Amanda from Cozy Caravan. We met while performing together in PA. She’s a freelance writer with the most beautiful spirit. She’s working on a passion project...
