Transitioning with the planet's seasons and reflecting that into our home decor doesn't mean we need to walk into the fast homeware store and purchase the season's trendiest decor.  We're seeing fast homeware follow a similar path of fast fashion, with fashion fashion retailers adding home sections, such as H&M Home and Urban Outfitters. This over consumption of trends not only burdens the planet and it's resources, it also pressures consumers to spend more. So how can you sustainably decorate your home for autumn, budget friendly, and feel good about it? Check out some of our tips to make your...

We'd like you to meet the latest addition to our sustainable self care line - reusable eye masks! These silicone masks are a reusable, earth-friendly alternative to the disposable sheet masks that have taken the beauty world by storm. Ours come in a reusable tin and you guys have been LOVING them. We wanted to take a second to explain what makes them different from other masks and share a little bit about how to use and take care of them. Fun fact: They can be more effective than the single-use eye masks because those disposable sheet masks or under-eye masks tend to be absorbent, soaking...

Alum stones have been used as an aftershave for centuries, and were popular with ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks for medicinal and dermatological properties. When you use the alum stone after shaving, the salt has a natural effect of toning the skin and acting as a styptic, which stops bleeding from minor cuts. It's also antibacterial, wards off acne and breakouts, and can prevent razor burn and ingrown hairs. This summer, I finally asked my husband Jarod to try it on his face so I could get his thoughts and see how it felt as an aftershave for a beard & face care routine. Here's...

Plastic free hair removal is a bit of an experimental process. I've been using Marimar's sugar wax pretty much since I met her back in 2017. We went to a zero waste meetup together and she made a batch to hand out to all our friends - I've been hooked ever since! As far as my shaving routine, I used a safety razor for the first time in 2016 and I remember being pretty intimidated at first, but now it's like second nature. The thing I love about both of these zero waste swaps is that they save me a ton of time and money...

So you’re taking matters into your own hands! Sugaring at home can save you time, money and - when you get the hang of it - be a little less painful. I’ve been making this sugar wax and waxing at home since high school so I’m here to spill my secrets and show you the ropes. Follow this blog to help make your experience as seamless as possible. What is Sugar wax? Sugar wax is an all natural hair removal that uses three ingredients: sugar, lemon juice, and water. The high sugar content allows for the sugar wax to be antibacterial...

You know we’re all about sustainable self care, but these days the skincare world is full of 20-step skin routines and pressure to look 16 forever. Aging gracefully means something different to everyone - I’m super into simple and minimalist products that can multitask to keep my skin fresh and clear; Marimar goes wild on the treatments, serums, tools, and the science behind it all. No matter where you fall on the scale of skinimalist to product junkie, the important thing is that you’re carving out time to stick to a routine that makes you feel good. The thing Marimar...
