    Ep. 11, Conscious Consumerism: Food

    Check out my low inflammation eating PDF I made, inspired by Dr. Mark Hyman Food is information Food can be a lengthy topic and often inundated with a lot of research and so much more. I am going to share some insights based on my own personal research—from listening to a plethora of other podcast, reading books and As someone who has a passion for food and for eating. I, like you, am learning so much along the way. A philosophy I like to follow comes from the great writer, investigator Michael Pollan "Eat whole foods, mostly plants" As someone who is on the path to studying holistic nutrition, I am learning that we are what we eat. Your cells essentially become what you consume. Isn’t that scary and exciting? Every notice how you feel tired and lethargic after eating a seemingly delicious cinnamon donut from the cider mill? Well…that just means your body is telling you something…please…no more. My philosophy is to eat intuitively, noticing what is feeling good in my body.

    Ep. 10, Conscious Consumerism, Clothes

    Check out the full blog here Ah, those things you wear to cover your body :D In the era of the internet and information spreading far and wide, we are now more aware than ever of the implications of supporting fast fashion. We should try to raise our awareness. Realizing the impact of our actions. When we buy, we say yes, we support this. The reality is that fast fashion is often laced with poor working conditions and wages, exposure to harmful chemicals and so so many resources are being used. The clothes are made for the current trends and often in poor quality. Not meant to last more than a few seasons. Environmentally "safe" clothes are often pricey, but there are options! The fact of the matter is you have to do what is right for you, your lifestyle and your budget. Are you willing to say Adios to Fast Fashion? Some things you might try to do are... What do you do on a daily basis? consider what is really serving your lifestyle? have wardrobe classics What are some key staples of your wardrobe? trade/borrow with friends buy/sell on Poshmark or other clothing resale shop used...just google used clothing. My favorite is salvation army and Kiwanis club look for a clothing swap party to freshen up your closet Some tips…make a few sweet lists for your self List 1: Brands I like/currently support————>research them List 2: Clothing articles (that I can probs find used) List 3: Clothing articles I really wanna save up for Idea: Make a Pinterest board of your style Ways to remove that good ol’ used clothing smell

    Ep. 9, Conscious Consumerism, Chapter 1

    We all have a choice in what we buy. We are a society of consumerism, and we can be conscious about the way we interact in the world. To create awareness behind our purchases. And being intentional and honest with what we want and why. We are living in a 3d world and exist on the material plane. We all deserve access to materials/goods and services that in alignment with our soul’s desires. But what does that mean? For me that means considering the life/timeline of the product I am purchasing. Where did it come from? What is it made out of? Where did those materials come from? Are the workers paid fairly? Is it supporting the community in some way? Where does the money go? What does the company believe in? Are their values in alignment with my own? What are my values? We can all make more conscious choices and the changes can be small swaps. Instead of buying everything from Amazon, see if there is a local shop that carries it? Or maybe the local shop has a web store and you can buy it there. We vote with out dollar. If we are pooling all our money into big corporations with low moral and little value…then we are in effect saying, Yes I support this and the ideals behind this company. There are so many ways we can be more conscious about our purchases and I believe our spending can be categorized into necessities (utilizes, rent, mortgage, bills) Stay tuned for next weeks podcast/blog about Conscious Consumerism: Food Actionable steps: shop local, shop hand made, Hello Etsy :D research the brands you support buy quality over quantity Clothes buy from Poshmark trade with friends, family borrow from someone Food grow your own food buy local as often as you can check out local farm stands and farmers markets What is a food mile?

    Episode 8, Gettin' Wild

    Nature Ya’ll Wow, I can’t give enough love to the natural world. It is my happy space to be and to breathe. Nature is my medicine, nature is my true mother, nature is my therapist. We evolved to be in nature because we are nature. So get your hands dirty, remove your personal labels, love yourself wildly, don’t look in the mirror (you’re beautiful), bring your favorite snacks (hellllooo dates), dance in nature and breath in and out. Notice how you feel. Journal about it, talk about it. Love yourself for taking the time to be in nature. Some ways you can introduce nature in your life: eat your meals out side take a morning walk expose your beautiful eyes to sunsets and sunrises go somewhere special during sunset, grab a bottle of wine (or kombucha) and give a toast to your lover or to your self! invite a friend to go for a hike/walk/nature visit instead of meting at a cafe/restaurant google maps a park that you have never been to workout outside…bike, run, golf, hike, heck you can even sleep outside :D take off your shoes and feel the coolness of the earth on your feet learn to forage take photographs of nature Resources: The Hidden Life of Trees : What They Feel, How They Communicate - Discoveries from a Secret World Forest Bathing All Trails App Google Maps
