Hi! My name is Laura, and I believe that everyday actions can make a difference in the world. I started this blog to share my journey of adopting simple, sustainable changes for a more eco-friendly lifestyle. Join me, and together we can build a better planet.

Ready for Easter with lots of fresh eggs from our girls! 🐓 I was thinking of dyeing some with natural ingredients, but 1) it seemed like too much work after spending several hours deep-cleaning the coop (there was SO MUCH poop!😳), and 2) I think they look pretty as is! 🥚🍳

I was fortunate enough to spend some time in Costa Rica recently for work, and I was amazed by all the examples of sustainability in action. From the luggage belts at the airport that were run on renewable energy, to the carbon negative coffee farm I visited, to the collection of plastic lids at the beach, destined to be transformed into benches and pathways, the focus on the environment was everywhere. Maybe it’s harder not to be threatened by climate change when you live in a country of immense beauty, biodiversity, and vulnerability. Whatever the reason, I’m certainly feeling more inspired to continue making changes in my own life to protect the planet. 🌏🌺🦎

Happy Caturday! I’m just back from a week visiting my sister in sunny California, and the cats definitely missed us! Trying to fit in some quality time with them in between catching up on work and cleaning up the house. What are you up to today?

All stocked (stacked?) up on zero waste bulk goods from my favorite local grocery store @goodearthindy. I got granola, mung beans (for sprouting), chocolate-covered almonds, black beans, brown rice flour, and oats. 😋

I love the gingham on this thrifted top, but the original sleeves were a little too poofy for my taste (swipe to see the “before”). I thought about ripping out the seam on the bell sleeves and re-sewing them to make it a little closer-fitting. Flash forward a few months, and the shirt was still sitting in my closet, unaltered and unworn. So I decided to take the lazy way out and cut off the bottom layer of fabric—no sewing required! I love it so much now, and it’s easier to layer a sweater!

I’m so stoked that I can finally refill my own containers with cleaning products locally! I just stocked up on all-purpose cleaner, dish soap, laundry detergent pods, and dishwasher detergent pods, all with zero waste! Thank you @onatahgeneral!
