Sustainable Home Decor for Every Style: Ethically Sourced Bohemian Decor
Did you catch our first post in this series of sustainable home decor for every style? First, we covered the artisan home decor trend--you know, the one with playful colors, lots of natural textures, and some minimalist accents.

However, if your style leans bohemian season after season, ... Read More
Sustainable Home Decor for Every Style: A Timeless Take on the Artisan Home Trend

Caring About The Environment is Not a Quirk
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 ...

10 Simple Ways to Go Green as a Solopreneur
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 ... Read More
