Did you know it’s illegal not to compost in places

Did you know it’s illegal not to compost in places like California, Vermont, and New York City?
Across Europe, countries like Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands also require it by law.

I think it should be required everywhere!
Most people (myself included for a long time!) don’t realize just how important composting is. When food waste ends up in landfills, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas over 25x more potent than CO₂. 💨 Composting prevents that and turns your scraps into nutrient-rich soil instead of toxic waste. 🌱

Living in cities, I always thought composting required a backyard… but that’s not true. You can compost in small spaces, even indoors, and some cities give out bins for free!

I recently picked one up from the local council and I’m so excited to finally make the most of it 🤗
More coming soon on how to compost in the city, including tips, tools, and what to do if your city doesn’t provide a bin.

Let’s make composting the norm! 🌎💚 🚮

After years of hoping, I finally got to visit @thegentlebarn 💚
It was everything I imagined… and more.

Hugging gentle cows, scratching a bull’s neck as he purred, holding a soft little chicken who reminded me of my soul-dog…
I was overwhelmed with emotion.

These animals are survivors.
Many were rescued from factory farms, neglect, and abuse.
Now they live in peace, but trillions just like them still suffer every year…

I left with a heart full of love, and a fire to keep going.
To keep making kind choices.
To keep advocating for them.
And one day, to open a sanctuary of my own.

Thank you, @thegentlebarn, for creating this heaven on Earth.
You’re angels, and my biggest inspiration. 🤍

To me, sustainability isn’t just about cutting was

To me, sustainability isn’t just about cutting waste or carrying a tote bag. It’s a way of living that centers kindness— to animals, to the earth, and to ourselves.
Even while living in a busy city 🏙️ , I aim to stay grounded and make gentler, more conscious choices ✨.
It’s about being mindful of our actions, the systems we support, and how we care for our shared home: Earth🌎 . It’s not about being perfect…it’s about being intentional ✨💚
What does sustainable living mean to you? 💭

Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved animals and

Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved animals and felt deeply connected to nature. I was lucky to grow up surrounded by its beauty and dreamt of the day I could give a dog a loving home.

At 10, I met a pig, and everything changed.
I saw a being just as lovable as a dog, and I knew I couldn’t eat someone I wanted to protect.

When I was 13, I finally met my dog, Lili. She became my whole world. 💖
A few years later, I learned the truth about animal industries. I couldn’t unsee it.
I chose to live a vegan lifestyle because it aligned with the love and compassion I had always felt.
I connected all the dots, and that formed a circle. Loving animals means loving all animals. 💞

We are all connected. We are animals too.
🌎✨🐶🐷🐱👫🐥🐮🐠✨🌎
This lifestyle has brought me closer to that connection in the most meaningful way.

If you’re exploring this path too, I hope this post offers a soft and kind space to start. 💗
Have you made any shifts that helped you align more with your values? I’d love to hear. 🫶🏼

👧🏻 Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved play

👧🏻 Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved playing around with makeup and hair products. That passion grew over time, and I became a makeup enthusiast—always eager to try every trending beauty product I could find. 💄
I loved the glamour, the creativity, and the self-expression of it all. So much so, I decided to write my Bachelor’s thesis on the cosmetic industry… but with a twist. 🌪️

By then, I had become deeply curious (and concerned) about sustainability 🌎. I wanted to uncover the truth behind cosmetics, even if it meant making something I loved ugly.

Over the course of a year of researching and writing, my perspective changed. I see the industry as beautiful, but damaged. I still love the cosmetic world; it’s a huge part of how I express myself 🎨 , but now I know what to look out for 👀. I put my money where my mind and values are: supporting sustainable products that do no harm (to innocent animals, my body, and our precious planet) and actually enhance beauty. ✨

I still try trending products, but only when they’ve earned it. 😉 🌱✅

This post is a simple breakdown of what I’ve learned and what I now look for in sustainable beauty.

Let me know what surprised you most, and what you’d love to learn more about 💚
More coming soon 👀✨

Natural really is better! 🌿 I recently realized t

Natural really is better! 🌿

I recently realized that a lot of the clothes I was wearing—especially my leggings, loungewear, and undies—were basically made of plastic. Polyester, nylon, microfibers… all synthetic, all contributing to microplastic pollution, and weren’t letting my skin breathe. 😞

So when I saw that @pact was having one of their biggest Earth Day sales, I jumped on it! I made a big order to start replacing those tight, plastic-based basics with pieces made from organic cotton. ✨

And honestly? I love what I got. These pieces are so comfy, breathable, and flattering—and they’re staples I’ll wear for years. Investing in quality really does give you a better quality of life. 💫

Plus, Pact is sustainability-certified and only partners with sweatshop-free, child labor–free factories that treat workers with respect and fair wages. 💛

Let me know what you think—would you make the switch too?

Let’s make low waste living less overwhelming and

Let’s make low waste living less overwhelming and way more doable! ✨

Here are 5 beginner zero waste swaps I actually use—and love:
• A foldable tote that fits in every purse or pocket
• Laundry detergent sheets that smell fresh and skip the plastic
• Reusable cotton “paper” towels (they last forever!)
• A totally compostable toothbrush made of bamboo and plant-based bristles
• Deodorant in a refillable glass jar

These little changes make a difference—and feel good to use too 😄

I’ve tagged the brands I use and shared why they work for me on each slide.

This is the first in a new series of easy, stylish swaps—more coming soon! ✨

Which one do you use or want to try? I’d love to know! 💚

My first reel! 🎥 I’m so excited to take you inside

My first reel! 🎥
I’m so excited to take you inside one of my favorite zero waste stores here in Los Angeles @re_grocery ! If you’ve never been to a refill grocery store, I highly recommend finding one in your city—you might be surprised by what you discover. ✨

My first zero waste store experience was actually in Barcelona and ever since, I’ve been hooked. Think of these stores like candy shops… but for sustainable living! You get to fill up just what you need, see how much you’re spending, and explore so many fun, non-toxic, more healthy goodies.💚

Everything I grabbed in this video cost around $1 per bag—and even the Chlorella (in a $3 jar) felt like a steal. Next time, I’ll be bringing my own glass jars and containers like a pro! 🫙

These shops make sustainable living feel exciting, doable, and fun!
Let me know if you’ve visited one, what your go-to refills are, and if you want to see my next haul! I can’t wait to go back. 😄

Stay tuned for more content— coming soon! 💚✨

When people hear “zero waste,” they often picture

When people hear “zero waste,” they often picture someone fitting a year’s worth of trash into a single mason jar.

But let’s be real, that’s not most of us! Especially if you live in a busy city and have a lot going on.

Zero waste isn’t about perfection — it’s about intention.

It’s about choosing swaps that feel good, look good, and do good — for you, your space, and the planet.

🌿Start small:
A reusable water bottle (ideally: glass). A chic shopping tote (ideally: hemp, cotton, linen) . A compost bin (with compostable bag liners) on our under your sink.

These little changes add up — and they’re way more doable than you might think.

✨It’s a sustainable glow-up, one choice at a time.

Save this for later — more beginner-friendly ideas are on the way! 🌎🌱💚
