Thread Theories: Why Independent Fashion Designers Are Rocking My World
First off, who doesn't love a good underdog story? Independent fashion designers are the unsung heroes behind the threads that make you pause in your Insta-scroll. It’s like finding a rare LP in a sea of digital noise. They’re crafting pieces with heart, and bonus, they actually fit into the sustainable ethos I can’t help but cheer for.
From bamboo button-ups to recycled denim, these creators are not just making clothes; they’re making statements. And as someone who appreciates a good narrative, I'm all in. Plus, let’s be honest, supporting them makes me feel like a patron of the arts—an eco-friendly Medici, if you will.
And here’s a confession: While I preach minimalism, I’ve got a soft spot for a well-tailored jacket. Call it a guilty pleasure, but hey, if it’s made ethically, it’s guilt-free, right?
My Go-To Indie Fashion Havens
- EcoWear - Revolutionizing streetwear with hemp.

Sparkling Clean: Eco-Friendly Home Cleaning Products That Actually Work
Now, onto the battlefield—home cleaning. With three kids and three dogs, my house can go from pristine to disaster faster than you can say “muddy paw prints.” I've tried nearly every eco-friendly cleaner under the sun, and let me tell you, not all are created equal.
But after much trial and error, I've found a few that cut through the chaos without leaving a chemical hangover. And because I love sharing the wealth, here are the products that are both mother-in-law and Mother Earth approved.

If you haven’t switched to eco-friendly cleaners yet, consider this your nudge. Your sinuses and your fur babies will thank you.
Between the Covers: Books and Stationary That Feed My Brain and Soul
Last but not least, let’s talk brainfood. Books and stationery. As a self-professed fantasy nerd and an occasional poet, I take my reading and writing materials seriously. There’s something about a well-crafted notebook that just invites ideas, and a page-turner that can whisk you away from the everyday.
Here’s where I nerd out big time. Whether it’s the latest epic fantasy saga or a sleek new journal that promises to finally organize my scatter-brained thoughts, I'm here for it.
