A few weeks ago I was chatting with Tatiana of Zuahaza about their latest decor collection Hichu (photographed throughout the post by Victoria Holguin Fotografia) and the topic of self care came up. Their cozy pillows, throws, and scarves are definitely tailor-made for day of self care: relaxing, meditating, enjoying a good tea or read. But as important as we all know (and tell each other) it is to put ourselves first, when the holiday season comes... well, all bets are off. It makes ... Read More

Sustainable Gift Ideas Under $50
As much as I know how important it is to keep a budget in mind when shopping for holiday gifts (and anything else), I go back and forth on whether to organize gift guides by price range.
