If you read my last blog, you know that mushrooms are currently the “it girl” when it comes to popular supplements for holistic health. Sold in a range of products—teas, coffees, and pills—they can help boost your immunity, boost mental clarity, and even help lower your cholesterol. Mushrooms are a wellspring of benefits, and it’s about time they get their time in the spotlight.

How To Quit Palm Oil
As the most commonly produced vegetable oil, it is incredibly difficult to avoid palm oil. We've shared a bit about whether we think palm oil can be sustainable or not (and thankfully more resources have emerged since then, which we'll include in a post soon), but our verdict still stands: in most cases, no. Like basically everything when it comes to trying to be more eco friendly, this is a complex issue steeped in corporate greed, power struggles, social and environmental injustices, politics ...

Our Favorite Quotes from David Attenborough
Naturalist, broadcaster, and conservationist David Attenborough is definitely one of my heroes. The 96 year old has dedicated an entire lifetime to studying the planet, its history, diversity, and threats. There is a reason he is so well-known and celebrated by now.

We've posted many David Attenborough ... Read More
Bringing Nature Indoors: The Best Books for Plant Lovers

That means being more intentional about tending to my plant babies, to ensure they live long, ... Read More
Another Sustainable Swim Post: 12 Eco Friendly Swimsuits for Summer 2022
Yes, we've written about sustainable swim before. No, you shouldn't buy a new swimsuit just because summer is here. But if you happen to be on the hunt for a new suit, and if not, then you've just discovered some fun accounts to follow on Instagram. And thankfully, sustainable swim is no longer hard to come by. With the amount of ocean waste - such as fishing nets - and plastics - like water bottles - that can be recycled into swimwear, there's no need for virgin nylon or polyester-elastane ... Read More
6 Powerhouse Mushrooms to Add to Your Diet
I don’t know why, but talking about mushrooms always makes me giggle. Maybe it’s because when you mention mushrooms people seem to imagine hippies, and tie-dye, and lots of fringe. They think that you’re going to tell them a story about transcending the universe or limping through a bad trip. But with the rise in holistic health and natural supplements, mushrooms have taken on a whole new purpose and image in the public eye. Curiosity and experimentation have driven a new interest in the ... Read More
