It's such a privilege to partake in this new movement. There are so many amazing companies out there, helping us to care for people and the planet over profits.

Shops with your stomach and assumes it will all be consumed before going bad? Even throwing away rotten tomatoes that I grew pulls at my heart strings. (We have have 10 gallons of...
Took a walk down memory lane Last week I went to visit an old college friend who lives in the same town where we attended school. She was getting married over the weekend and I wanted to spend time with her before the big day. Walking down the streets and witnessing all the changes that have happened in the last 10 years was a gift. I remembered visiting the library for the first time and using my local address to become a member. It was exhilarating! Once I moved off campus and went to the...
Hello from Oregon! staying with family and watching my best friend get married I’m all about thrifting something first before buying it new.Keeping products in circulation is a great way to reduce your waste in a tangible way.This year I've started teaching sourdough to our local community via an in-person workshop.
