    DIY

    DIY (Do It Yourself) projects are some of my favorites. I love to make things on my own that I love or I know a family member or friend will love. I used to make all my gifts for the holidays on my own as a kid and loved being able to elevate that as I got older. Here are some of my favorite DIY projects for you.

    Eco-Friendly Products and Habits

    As the world is changing, we need to do our part to do better and buy sustainably. I'm an affiliate with a few great companies who are making waves in sustainability including: Public Goods, Stasher bags, Grove Collaborative. If everyone made just a few changes it would do so much better for the world than if only a few people changed everything. Click here for more eco-friendly ideas...

    Socially Conscious

    I have a background in sociology as well as almost a decade of experience with the California Youth and Government program. I worked for 10 years in the non-profit sector and have a passion for social justice. Although these posts might not seem relevant to my platform, they very much are. Because first and foremost we are human. And we must all fight for human rights. Click here for more resources on social justice...
