Sustainable floral tips for DIY flower lovers

published on June 6, 2019 by Angela Hamilton

My love of fresh flowers goes back as far as I can remember. Once, my mom told me we’d be going to visit my grandma’s friend, who owned a house with a backyard full of lush gardens. I imagined fields of wildflowers, but found pristine landscaped gardens instead, like something that would line a cottage in England. Both inspire me now. I love the manicured front lawns of my Seattle neighborhood. I love the poppies emerging from the sidewalks. And when I lived in Los Angeles, I loved the bougainvillea along the freeways, the succulent gardens, the pepper trees.

Writing for the wedding industry didn’t curb my floral obsession, but inspired me to learn more about creating arrangements myself, so I could bring these blooms into my own little corner apartment. Working from home can be drab, and I don’t take for granted what the peonies blooming by my side as I write this have done for my mood. Beauty is important.

Flowers can be a frivolous thing, especially when thinking of the environment. Why not leave them be? I understand this argument, but as a crafter, DIYer, lifelong learner, and lover of beauty, there is something really fulfilling to me about creating something new with these small miracles in life. And luckily in my DIY flower adventures, I’ve found, there are many ways to create more sustainable florals.

Sustainable Floral Tips for DIY Flowers

1. Don’t buy fresh cut flowers at the grocery store. Purchase from your local market instead. Most blooms you’ll find at the store are imported. Thinking about the environmental effects of transporting them (and their need for refrigeration) from a top exporter like Colombia alone, is enough to make any eco-friendly DIYer uneasy. Then there’s the question of where they’re coming from, how they are grown (and with what chemicals), and how the growers are compensated (and treated). Perhaps we can dive deeper into this later, but just know that there are many reasons to go local when it comes to fresh flowers and plants.

I created these bouquets during early spring’s daffodil season, so all the daffodils and tulips here came from a market from farms in nearby towns.

2. Supplement with foraged and dried blooms. In Tin Can Studios book Handpicked, Ingrid Carozzi mentions times she would gather greenery or flowers right outside or at the event venue, to round out her arrangements. Often weeds and overgrowth can contribute to more undone, wild-looking arrangements (just make sure you aren’t taking from a delicate habitat that needs them to thrive.)

I love to add a few dried flowers from my personal collection in DIY arrangements. Some dried blooms are ones I’ve dried on my own (like these carnations), and others were purchased at a local farmer’s market. (During the winter here in Seattle, a lot of farms depend on sales of dried rather than fresh flowers, so it’s easy to get.)

Tip: Preserve or purchase a big bunch of dried flowers, then carefully deconstruct the bouquet so you can pull from individual stems when you create a bouquet. For example, eucalyptus is hard to find here, so the time I was able to buy some at the market, I saved a few sprigs. They do get dipped in water since I pair them with fresh flowers, so I trim the stem when I’m ready to save it for a next time.

3. Arrange and rearrange. Some flowers last only a few days in vases, where others (like ranunculus, can you believe it?!) can last up to a few weeks! Whenever I make big arrangements to enjoy at home, I rearrange them every two or three days, picking out anything that can’t be salvaged. Then I rearrange what I have, trim the stems, and replace the water.

I think I used this bunch of baby’s breath in three arrangements before it stopped looking fresh! No need to throw them out when its initial arrangement went… there was plenty of life left.

4. Take care of your cut flowers! It’s important to get to know the kind of blooms in your DIY flowers, so be sure to ask about them when buying at the market. They are the experts! Most flowers live longer if you trim the stems and replace water regularly. Different types of flowers also like different temperates of water, so there’s a lot of details to consider. Learning about the flowers you love, rather than just heading to the grocery store and grabbing a bouquet that will wilt in a couple days, will get you so much closer to truly sustainable florals.

If you’re looking to learn more about sustainable flowers, I recommend the books Handpicked and Foraged Flora.

10 Acts of Self Care That Don’t Require a Purchase

published on May 28, 2019 by Angela Hamilton

Self care is about doing those things that are good for you (and that you might even enjoy) but don’t truly appreciate until after. If it was merely an instant gratification thing, we’d all be masters of self care. It’s a shame, then, that so many self care tips suggest heading to the salon or laying on a face mask. Don’t get me wrong, we love both of those things, but effective self care shouldn’t require a purchase be made. Instead, it should help you increase mindfulness, adopt healthy habits, practice gratitude, go easier on yourself, or choose helpful coping mechanisms.

And interesting note: When writing, I thought through my own experience with each of the bullets below, and when I’ve decided to do them. So often I do any of these only after I’ve felt lousy for a good long time. A lot of modern psychology (in therapy, in studies etc.) will tell you to practice all of these things (my old psychiatrist was actually the first person to ever tell me to sleep in if I want to, or cancel plans when I don’t feel up to it… the kind of permissions we struggle to give ourselves) because it’s effective if you practice it enough. The only deep breath you take that week shouldn’t be during a breakdown. So, here’s to practicing these in all times, good and bad… simply because they feel good.

1. A mindful walk. A walking meditation is a way of practicing mindfulness while moving, and it challenges your natural tendency to do things on autopilot, like moving your legs, breathing, and observing the sights, smells, and sounds around you. It sounds incredibly simple so it’s easy to overlook it as an effective form of self care, but it’s an entire sensory experience that personally gives me immense gratitude and a feeling of calm every time I’m intentional about doing it.

2. An experience. A day at the beach, exploring a new neighborhood, there are so many ways to have an experience without spending money. Money can cause so much stress and neglecting to take care of yourself while struggling with it and other factors will only worsen your situation. Getting active and out in nature is an obvious antidote, but there are plenty of free museums, cultural events, and other enriching experiences put on by neighborhoods and towns all over, you just have to get out and do it.

3. An early bedtime. Sometimes you just want to call it a day. Why don’t you? In a world that never unplugs, choosing to stop is a radical act.

4. A day to yourself. Again, it’s a busy world out there. Everyone wants you to do and be something different, everyone has a demand. Declaring, “I’m making no plans today.” seems almost absurd. But oh, it feels so good.

5. Saying “No.” To another work request you quite literally don’t have time for, to an invitation to go out when you want to stay in, to undercharging for your work, to another unreciprocated favor—there are countless things a woman does each and every day that mean putting her needs behind others. They add up. Giving is one thing, but exhausting yourself won’t help others or you. Saying no might mean saying yes to yourself.

6. A deep breath. Stressed? Anxious? Tired? Angry? Hurting? Sad? Worried? Embarrassed? None of these things feel good. A deep breath is kind of like reminding yourself you’re still here and that this too, shall pass. Take a deep breath and acknowledge your feelings, and that they will soon pass.

7. A social media break. Recently our Charity posted in her Insta Stories asking what her followers do when they’re feeling anxious. A lot of them agreed: get off social media. It doesn’t have to be that specific things on social media have upset you—there’s just so many times when there are a million other things you could be doing, to benefit yourself, rather than a thing that can be pretty mindless and unfulfilling.

8. An affirmation. Affirmations and positive self talk are ways of expressing gratitude and visualizing a positive future. There is research that shows it can calm anxiety, make you happier (by making you more content with where you are), and more. Plus, like a big, deep breath, it just feels nice.

9. Phone a friend. I’ve personally spent a lot more time considering whether I should reach out to a friend than actually talking with them. Up until a few years ago, I figured if people wanted to talk to me, they’d call me, and if not, I was on my own. This is not so. Friends are often thinking the same thing, or they’re experiencing their own distractions, and well, life gets in the way. Do you and your friends a favor and keep in touch.

10. A good read. I never regret reading, yet I read so much more rarely than I want to because I put about a million other things first. Taking the time to go to the library, physically browse and pick out a book, check it out, and bring it home to read (all for free!) is another quiet way to declare that you’re spending time with yourself, your mind, your imagination.

Let us know what you’d add to this list.

Caring About The Environment is Not a Quirk

published on May 15, 2019 by Angela Hamilton

I mean it is. But it shouldn’t be.

I wasn’t really planning to do any big “welcome to eco club” types of posts like some communities do. Which is why we’ve been live for two months and you didn’t see one. My last blog did more of that and I’m really committing to having less of this “here we are! Learn from us!” attitude and more of a here’s X talking about Y etc.

But if we were to have one, I guess this would be it.

I always feel a slight tinge of embarrassment when I do something like tell the bagger at the grocery store three times (do they get a kickback or something?) in earshot of other customers that, no seriously, I don’t need a bag. Like someone’s there saying, “Angela… Careful now, you’re eco is showing.”

I know I can be pretty self-conscious in general—add it to the list for when I finally do find a therapist—but let’s look at the evidence. As rapidly as our Insta-circles and conscious living communities seem to be growing, as relatively easy was it was for me to hunt down 200+ shops and counting for a guide I’m writing, as trendy as it is for brands to embrace eco—Madewell did just launch a line of semi-affordable sustainable swimwear, after all (which might raise a similar discussion to the one here, I think)—this whole green living thing is still pretty niche. Even the phrase “eco-friendly” is quite cutesy, no?

It’s the same foolishness I described here—it washes over me every time I mention “the environment” to people not immediately in my small circle of advocates. When a friend comes over and asks for paper towels but I point them toward cloth ones; when I go to a different friend’s home and ask them for their compost bin (at least they have them here in Seattle); when I ask if there are “for here” cups for a café’s iced beverages (it appears there is something wrong with putting ice in a mug)—I know that, at best, I seem a little quirky (the nicest possible term for “a bit of a joke”) and at worst, a little privileged, stuck up. But I am privileged. I am privileged enough to live in a society where I can choose not to waste. I can choose the materials I use. I can choose to ask for the things I want. And what am I, if I’m a privileged person who chooses not to make the better choice? I’m something far less cute than quirky, I think. I’m a great big part of a great big problem.

Further, if I’m passionate, motivated, and resourceful enough to share this, I can’t stop there. I can’t blame someone else for how I feel—which is in a way, a lack of confidence in voicing my values, in really, just being me, something that I’m aware is, like, the teeniest version ever of feeling like this part of me isn’t valued in society. I can get over that, truly.

It wasn’t until I was working on another piece, three days before launching our website, that it occurred to me that eco club is kind of my way of owning my quirks. Of taking back this feeling of judgment and saying, give me whatever weird hippie, tree-hugging, granola, snowflake label you want. Stick it all over me. I’ll wear it like a badge of honor. After I upload it to Photoshop and make it way cuter and add some pink.

And you know what I’ll do next? I’ll start a club.

So if you see yourself in any of this (like the guy I described our concept to while co-working last fall who said, “yeah, like you’re standing there thinking, how much longer am I going to spend scraping this jar of peanut butter, what difference is it really making”—especially when there’s actually too much recycling, and hey, isn’t it being diverted to a landfill here in Seattle, anyway?), I’m here to encourage you to lean into it. Maybe one day the quirk will become cool—we can all only hope advocating for a living planet becomes trendy, honestly—and maybe then it will become the norm… there are so many steps to it becoming the norm.

Ultimately, I wanted to create a place where we could not only teach others all the big things we learn on all our different journeys to a more sustainable lifestyle, but also go and talk about all the little quirks that go into it—and have a good laugh about it. Selfishly, I wanted a place to laugh about the time I chased down a flying napkin only to find out it did more harm than good, chat about why any sane 26-year-old would ever start building a tiny house in Montana in the dead of winter, and interview a rad new brand about making sustainable fashion more colorful.

I figured there must be enough of us by now who light up when we hear about hemp finally getting the respect it deserves, or are overcome with rage when we think about palm oil, that we could sit around and talk about it.

Even if you’re not totally there yet, and you’re clicking these links like wait—what?, It’s kinda nice you can do that all in one place, right?

And I mean, if there really aren’t enough yet, and we stay small, that’s okay too. At least now we have a place to go. Welcome to the club.

10 Simple Ways to Go Green as a Solopreneur

published on May 13, 2019 by Natalie
updated on November 2, 2021

One of the main reasons people decide to go full time as a solopreneur is for freedom and flexibility. Choosing when and where to work, traveling as they please, and yoga pants as acceptable work attire. Another wonderful thing about being an independent business owner is the ability we have to make our own business decisions. We can choose to make eco-friendly decisions for our businesses and to even help educate those we work with. To help you begin making more green decisions, we’ve listed out 10 simple ways to go green as a soloprenuer, below! We know everyone’s eco-living journey is unique, so these are just 10 easy options to begin switching your own methods little by little.

Ditch the Coffee Shop and DIY That Latte
No line, no pants, no waste, no problem. Avoid the wasteful cup, lid, and straw by whipping up your own delicious coffee or tea drinks at home. Not only will you skip out on some waste, but you’ll skip out on the bill too! I love to make my own cold brew at home by letting 1 cup of ground coffee and 4 cups of water sit together in the fridge overnight. Just strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer and sip away!

Pro tip: Use those coffee grounds for a DIY energizing body scrub! Mix the leftover grounds with coconut oil to desired consistency and let the spa day begin.

Opt for Digital Mock-Ups Instead of Printing All the Things
If you’re a creative of any sort, this one’s for you. You’ve probably seen the gush-worthing photos other creatives share of their work printed on pages and all perfectly laid out. These looks are amazing, but they are also easily doable without printing all that unnecessary paper! Instead of printing your works for that one-and-done shoot, make your presentation photos in Photoshop.

Advertise Digitally
It’s 2019! If you aren’t already advertising digitally, get it together! Choose digital advertising methods instead of print ones. Instead of mailing postcards, build that email list. Instead of ads in the paper, put ads on your local news source’s website. It’s great to have a “paper trail” in your biz – unless it’s your advertising.

Source Locally and Choose Eco-Friendly
I know, I know. Some things just have to be printed. When you can support local businesses. When you can’t, choose eco-friendly choices. Because I’m on the move so much, I decided to get my own business cards printed with Moo. They offer business cards made from recycled cotton t-shirts! When working with clients, do some research and try to source locally for them too.

Psst: If you’ve never used Moo, here’s 25% off your first order!

Turn Off or Unplug Your Tech
When you’re done for the day, turn off or unplug your tech. If you’re not comfortable powering it off, just put it in sleep mode. You’ll conserve energy and save some money on that electric bill!

Donate to Eco-Friendly Organizations
Not only is donating to eco-friendly organizations just a pretty darn good thing to do, but it’s also rather marketable. Every time I book a design client, I donate to a non-profit that focuses on reforestation, and they plant 12 trees in areas affected by forest fires. My clients love knowing that their dollars are going somewhere great and that they’re directly helping in some way.

Opt for Green Web Hosting
Often times, web hosting companies will use renewable energy sources or purchase carbon offsets to help even out their energy use. A great example of this is DreamHost. DreamHost houses their servers in a facility which utilizes high-efficiency cooling that uses partially reclaimed water. They are also partner with state-level “clean wind” programs and only use electricity from renewable sources.

Reuse & Recycle
Now, this one doesn’t need much explanation! Reuse whenever possible and recycle as much as you can. Take notes on the back of printed papers you no longer need, reuse that plastic cup from lunch, and use double-sided printing when you can. Check with your local recycling center to see what they accept – you may be surprised! As someone who strives for a zero-waste lifestyle, I use mason jars for all the things. They’re great for storage, that DIY latte you whipped up earlier, overnight oats, or even for a little herb garden!

Revamp Your Workday Snackage
Buying package-free snacks in bulk help you to avoid a lot of excess food packaging that can’t be recycled! Instead of grabbing a bag of chips, stock up on healthy goodies like nuts, berries, seeds, and dried fruits in your local supermarket’s bulk section. This way, you have snacks that last you longer and are just better for you. That bag of convenient chips only takes a few minutes to grub, but the chip bag can take literal centuries to decompose.

Pro tip: If you bring your own containers, you can use tare on the store’s scale for the container’s weight and skip the plastic bag waste. (Hello again, mason jars!)

Digital Gifting
Client gifts are such a lovely way to let your clients know they’re appreciated and to make a memorable mark uniquely. Instead of sending the usual goodie box, opt for digital gifting. Gift boxes are beautiful, but there’s a lot of unknown variables – where were the products sourced from? Were they ethically made? What’s the shipping process? What’s the packaging situation? Personalized emails and thought out gift cards to your clients’ fav places show you care just as much as a mailed gift box would!

BONUS: Educate Yourself and Discover More Ways!
There are so many more ways you can make little green changes in your day to day that are individual to your needs! Take some time to educate yourself and discover those ways. Recyclebank is a fun educational website that teaches you all about recycling and rewards you as you learn. If you’re interested in learning more about the zero-waste lifestyle, check out Going Zero Waste.

Some of these options may take a bit to work into your business! If you’re unsure of where to start, pick one that resonates most with you and begin focusing on it! It all starts with habits. Making new habits is key to working your way to more eco-friendly living! Before you know it, you’ll be running a greener, more sustainable business.

5 Things to Know Before Tackling a Fixer Upper

published on May 8, 2019 by Megan Kitt
updated on November 2, 2021

As I type this, my fingers are stained a deep brown—espresso, as its manufacturer named it—a souvenir from spending the last few days sanding, staining and (soon!) sealing the banister on the loft of my fixer-upper.

I’ve spent the last year slowly renovating a traditional plantation-style house in Hawaii, an endeavor that’s been both fun and frustrating, and promises to yield a nice profit. I have another year until it’s finished, a timeline established by my work schedule and by the fact that my husband is more often at sea working as a submariner than he is home, so I do most the work myself.

Fixer-uppers are common investments these days (thanks, Joanna Gaines!), but I’ve been around them my whole life. My parents own a home-building company, and in their spare time, they flipped homes. We lived in and renovated some rough-looking houses during my childhood. Once they pristine and polished, they’d sell and buy a new one.

As a kid, this used to embarrass me. Now, it excites me.

Over the next few months, I’m going to share some of my renovating stories. I’ve built interior walls to add a new bedroom, rewired my kitchen, laid flooring, and done a lot of painting (seriously, it never ends). For now, I’m going to share what my family taught me about how to pick and renovate the perfect project home.

You want a fixer, not a fiasco

The key to a good flip house is finding one that has the cliché of the industry: good bones. As I was searching for this house, I found one intriguing property that had foundation and roof issues—and I wasn’t about to mess with that, so I moved on.

The house I settled on was an older, plantation-style home with gross carpet, an inexplicable wall blocking the fridge from the rest of the kitchen, and no driveway. I often say that if the owners had simply given the place a coat of paint before they’d listed it, I couldn’t have afforded it.

The house needed a lot of cosmetic work, but it didn’t need anything structural. I found a reliable, well-reviewed inspector who told me what to worry about, and more than that, told me what was solid. Inspectors can’t catch everything, but they can catch a lot, so make sure you get a good one, and research the list of problems they give you. Stay away from the huge problems and stick with the cosmetic, or budget for the larger fixes.

Keep it classic

It’s so easy to look at Pinterest and follow everything you see. Shiplap! Gray and navy cabinets! Butcher blocks!

If you’re planning to flip the house in only a few months, following trends isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, if you plan to buy and live in a house like I am, consider what you say when you look at houses: “Ugh, look at that recessed wall for a TV.” “That sponge paint.” “That carpet over hardwood!” The audacity!

All of those things were trends not too long ago. So when you two-tone your cabinets or spend a nice chunk of money herringbone tile floor, remember: In a few years, people might look at your house and call your reclaimed wood accent wall so 2019. They might wonder if they can negotiate down the price because of all the updates it needs.

My solution? I keep things classic with the expensive things, like counters and flooring, and follow the trends with décor. I once took a “Millennial Apartment Bingo” quiz from Apartment Therapy, and I checked almost every box—my house is decorated according to what’s in fashion, but the home itself is classic. The flooring, paint, and kitchen fixtures I chose are timeless, and won’t date the house. If people can tell when it was renovated, every passing year is a liability.

Location, location, location

Okay, it’s cliché. But it’s true. Every market is different, but on Oahu, traffic is a way of life. I’ve been stuck in traffic jams at 1 a.m. on multiple occasions. So, when I was looking for homes, I made sure to find a house that was centrally located. In addition to its central location, my fixer-upper has ocean, city, and Diamond Head views, which will always be valuable. Sure, I could get a bigger house with fewer needs in the ‘burbs, but I bought my home two years ago, and watching how property has appreciated, I know I made the right choice prioritizing location over size. Do research to determine what matters in your market, but no matter where you are, location will always be important.

Don’t get emotionally attached

This is the hardest for me. Here comes another cliché, but when you pour your blood (literally), sweat (hello, it’s Hawaii!), and tears (of anger) into a house, it’s hard not to get attached. So, when you’re looking at finishes for your home, it’s easy to want to go with what you want, not what is rational and financially sound.

In my house, there have been times when it made sense to go high-end (as with our floors or countertops). There have been times when it made more financial sense to do something mid-range (keep an eye out for an article about how I rehabbed my custom-built cabinets!). When you’ve put so much time and money into something, it’s easy to get caught up in what you personally would like, but it’s important to always focus on your return on investment. Great floors will increase the value of your home. Expensive baseboard trim? Probably not.

Know when to DIY and when to call the pros

As I mentioned, I’ve done the bulk of my renovation projects myself, or with my husband when he’s here, but it’s important to know your limits and when to call in a professional.

My dad once told me you aren’t a homeowner until you wonder what the homeowner before you was thinking. He’s right: I’ve never been so annoyed as I was when I tore down some wallpaper and discovered someone hung the drywall in our living room wrong. You’re supposed to hang it 1/2” off the subfloor to avoid moisture issues, but there it was, brazenly perched right on the subfloor with the telltale discoloration of water damage.

One of the reasons my renovation is taking so long is that I spent months fixing incorrectly installed drywall left behind by our previous owner, and it’s thankless work because fixing it yields no cosmetic difference.

I’m all for tackling a project yourself when you can. In fact, tons of people warned me against hanging my own drywall when my husband and I were building our interior walls, though I considered that a challenge. However, I spent countless hours researching how to do it right, and when it got monotonous, I didn’t cut corners, even though mudding drywall takes forever to do right.

If you don’t have the time or desire to be so meticulous about important projects, it’s better to hire a pro. I’m grateful I caught the drywall issue when I did, because that could have been much more expensive in the long run than the cost of professional drywall installation would have been in the first place.

My parents, my professional advisory, have been very encouraging in all my DIY home improvement exploits, but they’ve also told me when I should call someone in for help. Certain things are better not done at all than done poorly.

So far, my experience renovating has been positive. It’s been frustrating, and a bit more work than I anticipated, but it’s also been oddly empowering completing these projects on my own. As I mentioned, my husband is often at sea or deployed, so I’ve done a lot of the work on our house myself, with a business to run and a baby to raise. Knowing I’m capable of these things has created confidence that’s hard to describe.

Our home’s value has increased, too. We are confident in our investment and our greatest worry about the house is whether we should keep it and rent it or sell it and take our equity. Buying a home is always a risk, and not one to be taken lightly, but with work ethic, a penchant for hard work, and some vision, a fixer-upper can be a rewarding, difficult, and prudent investment.

In the coming posts, I’ll be sharing progress along with my tips for doing DIY right, keeping things eco friendly whenever we can, and as affordable as possible too.

10 Sustainable Wrap Jumpsuits for Frolicking in This Spring

published on May 6, 2019 by Angela Hamilton

Hope you like linen.

When jumpsuits first came back into fashion a few years ago, I was unabashedly not on board. For one, I am very short. Two, I have to pee all the time. It just seemed complicated. But I’ve since grown a little less apprehensive, especially after seeing how versatile they can be, and that most of the ones I really covet are made of sustainable fabrics like linen and Tencel. Plus, some of my favorite LA brands like BackBeatRags and Mien are known to make a mean casual jumper, so who am I to judge? I just won’t hydrate those days. (Kidding.)

There are a few others thrown in the mix, but honestly, I think this material lends itself absolutely perfectly to the easy breezy style of a wrap jumpsuit.
