Hi! My name is Laura, and I believe that small, everyday actions can make a big difference in the world. I created this blog as a way to stop making excuses for myself and start making positive changes in my life. Join me, and together we can build a better planet.

It's a farmer's market kinda Saturday... . . . #buylocal #eatlocal #shopsmall #organicproduce #organicfarming #sustainability #sustainableliving #ethicalconsumer #freshproduce #farmfresh #saturday #consciousconsumer #farmersmarket

This might be the first time in my adult life that I have purchased second-hand clothes. Sure, I've worn hand-me-downs from my sister and gladly accepted items that friends of mine no longer wanted, but something about rooting around thrift stores through piles of used clothes and then wearing a stranger's clothes against my body felt, well, icky. It's silly, even ridiculous, and very snobby of me, but there you have it. But since I've started buying ethically-made clothing, I've realized that it's much better for the planet and my wallet to buy second-hand. So I forced myself to face my fears and bought two items from a local consignment shop - a cotton crochet dress and a patterned silk blouse. The fact that both are made from sustainable materials really helped, and the silk top is not something I would be able to afford new. And you know what else? I absolutely love them! Here's to making positive changes, even when they aren't easy! . . . #slowfashionsummer #collaction #consciousconsumerism #consciousfashion #ethicalfashion #secondhand #thriftstorefinds #thrifted #responsibleconsumption #responsiblefashion #sustainablestyle #slowfashion #sustainablefabrics #sustainablefashion #sustainability #positivechange #faceyourfears #trynewthings #secondlife #secondhandstyle
