    I have a compost bin, but I’m not always great to committing to collecting food scraps. I will continue to challenge myself to consistently commit to this action!

    Just small adjustments to a few everyday items make a difference! I’m excited to keep finding ways to mend and re-size clothing.

    Bought a blazer on clearance last year - turns out it had a tiny cut in the sleeve. I thought about donating it, I stitched it up instead. Wearing it today. :)

    There are many harsh chemicals people clean with that come in single use packaging and also have ingredients that are harmful to the natural world.
