Window shopping fair trade rugs is one of my favorite ways to waste time on the internet. (We all have our own, right?) Since my apartment already has all the rugs it can hold, guides like this give me an outlet for my ethically made finds! I don't think there's any reason to buy a rug that isn't fairly and consciously produced in 2022. While some of these are on the higher end, you can at the very least find incredible vintage rugs from small businesses on Etsy, or while perusing your local ... Read More

The Self Care Habits to Build Now For The New Year
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
18 Ethical Home Decor Shops You Should Know About
Being big fans of bold and inspiring interiors with a conscious maximalist twist, we are always looking for ethical home goods that have stories behind them, whether it's living room decor or artwork to adorn own walls, and of course to gift (and to prove just how beautiful ethical goods can be!).

If you tuned into our IG Live with Tatiana of Zuahaza for Earth Month, you may know that we're getting very into natural dyes over here! Learning about Zuahaza's process of dyeing with organic cotton opened our eyes to the many ways you can go about dyeing your own fabrics naturally.

For this project, she shared her recipe for DIY onion skin dye, ... Read More
Why Your Ethical Brand Needs A Blog
If you asked me a couple years ago whether ecommerce shops needed blogs to support their businesses, I honestly would have said no. I can’t begin to estimate the amount of blogs I’ve seen over the last ten years, and it’s always bothered me when brands throw one up, only to post a welcome entry and never touch it again. I get it! Blogging is hard work (why do you think I’ve been able to make it as a freelance writer all this time?!) and when running your business solo or as a small team, there ... Read More
15 Best Sustainable Loungewear Brands
It's no secret that many ethical clothing brands focus on sustainable basics--they're trendless staples in every closet and can often be more affordable than sustainable statement pieces. But thanks to the pandemic, loungewear is a trend born of necessity. I haven't heard anyone complain about not having to wear jeans, have you? You may have already landed on your favorite sustainably made joggers, but how's the rest of your wardrobe looking? Is it as cozy as those joggers? Whether it's ... Read More
