30 Day Exercise and Meditation Challenge (Interview with Josh Eastman)
In one of my last posts, the 30 Day Challenge Wrap Up, I mentioned that I was lucky enough to have a couple of accountability partners who were doing their own 30 day challenges, one of whom is my friend Josh. His 30 day challenge was to exercise and meditate every day. We got together…

Five Tips for Creating a Sustainable Wardrobe (minimalist and capsule wardrobe inspired)
If you’ve followed along over the last few months, I’ve written more and more about my reliance on shopping, specifically for clothes as a pass-time, a stress-reliever, and simply as something I enjoy doing on a regular basis.

How Veganism Made Me A Better Cook
I’ve been vegan for about two and a half years; I started transitioning in January 2016. Since then, my interest in, and relationship to cooking has evolved.
