I do a COPIOUS amount of research when building up my media equipment gear. Through trial and error, this list has turned into my tried and true recommendations.

No, actually. Every single one of these products I have had for at minimum 1 year, some over 5 years. I not only PASSIONATELY recommend these to my friends, but I will hands down be buying them again (if I ever need to, they are made SO well) They are THAT good.

What a beautiful thing it is to have the ability to read, to be transported to a different era, a different country, to see the world through the eyes of another soul, to LEARN from the experiences and ideas others have. Oh how truly magical books are.

Let's get back to the simplistic, healing beauty of alchemizing our daily hygeine and beauty products. Not only are we eliminating so many incredibly detrimental ingredients, but there's a sense of playfulness and pride in making things yourself.

Most people have heard of the “non-toxic” craze. And if you’re into it, it can get quiiiiite overwhelming knowing where to start. Especially when you add energy draining health symptoms, (which is probably the reason WHY you’re willing to try non-toxic swaps) on top of the overload of information. I get it. I’ve been there. This list is to help simplify it. Start where you can and trust in the power of tiny improvements!

For the sunburned, flannel wearing, thrift shopping kinda girlies. It’s tricky finding the balance between having sustainable, good gear that isn’t overpriced. Which is why I’m a fan of thrifting! But also, sometimes it is WELL worth it to invest in high quality pieces.
