When it comes to sustainable shopping, ethically made shoes aren't the most affordable. It kind of makes sense, though, right? If there's a wardrobe staple worth investing in, there's no better one than on quality footwear that you can walk around in for months (or even years) before discarding. Not to mention, shoes are one of the toughest fashion pieces to purchase secondhand (in my opinion)--though I applaud anyone who has the patience to do so as it can be quite the search to find the ...

Why Your Ethical Brand Needs A Blog
If you asked me a couple years ago whether ecommerce shops needed blogs to support their businesses, I honestly would have said no.

Blogging is hard work (why do you think I’ve been able to make it as a freelance writer all this time?!) and when running your business solo or as a small team, there ... Read More
15 Best Sustainable Loungewear Brands
It's no secret that many ethical clothing brands focus on sustainable basics--they're trendless staples in every closet and can often be more affordable than sustainable statement pieces.

You may have already landed on your favorite sustainably made joggers, but how's the rest of your wardrobe looking? Is it as cozy as those joggers? Whether it's ... Read More
15 Unique Zero Waste Goods For Design Lovers
I don't know about you, but in my circles, the zero waste movement isn't exactly known for beautiful design. Whether it's the packaging (or cleverly, lack thereof) or products themselves, zero waste goods often look like undone versions of their more popular, plastic-using, corner-cutting counterparts. But while most zero waste gifts are less than glamorous (and yeah, that's kind of the point), there are plenty of intelligently designed, and beautifully done, sustainable products to own and to ...
