My favorite part of fall is when the weather unexp My favorite part of fall is when the weather unexpectedly turns back to summer temps. 🌞 Ethically made swimmie: @kitty_and_vibe
In line and ready to rock these ballots. 💪🏽 In line and ready to rock these ballots. 💪🏽 Even if your own life isn’t impacted all that much by who’s in office, please think about those that are. And also, please don’t be selfish with your vote. Think about not just your own comfort, but also the needs and suffering of others. Every time a US presidential election takes place, the outcome has the potential to change the world, but especially this time. Vote like lives depend on it, because they do. Vote like the earth depends on it, because it does. Vote like our survival as a human species depends on it, because it does. Vote in a way that you’d be proud to tell others about; that you’d be proud to share about with future generations. Don’t wait. Time slips away from us, emergencies come up, sickness happens, work happens, life happens. Go do it AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Go vote.

Okay be honest...how many of y’all thought I was Okay be honest...how many of y’all thought I was holding up a condom packet? 😆 But seriously, look how convenient these little glove packets are! Perfect to keep in your purse or car for on-the-go glove needs. During a pandemic, that can range from pumping gas to heading to the polls to vote! (Shout out to my local friends in NC, where the polls opened today and early voting is coming in HOT. 🔥) If you didn’t catch it earlier this week, my review of Eco Gloves (compostable!!) is up on the blog at the link in my profile. My honest thoughts + a discount code!
Actually almost excited for once about cleaning up Actually almost excited for once about cleaning up dog messes because I found COMPOSTABLE DISPOSABLE GLOVES. Crucial for pandemic living as well as for those who have children/babies/pets who are prone to messes. There are some things I’m just not willing to touch with my bare hands. 💩 These Eco Gloves help me avoid the nasties while keeping it zero waste! Link in bio for my full review of Eco Gloves...and y’all know I’ve got a discount code for ya too. 😉
We realized tonight that we’ve been together alm We realized tonight that we’ve been together almost TEN YEARS. 🤯 Don’t think we ever would have guessed ten years ago how stinkin’ excited we’d be at this point in time to leave our house in “real” clothes with actual zippers/buttons to eat out at a restaurant in PUBLIC. A monumentous evening. I wore white pants because I didn’t get to wear them out before Labor Day, so might as well make up for it after. 🤷🏻‍♀️Amazing how a pandemic can make you appreciate things you never thought twice about before. What’s a “normal” thing you finally got to do recently that made you pee-in-your-pants excited? P.S. you can’t see it super duper well in this pic, but I’m in love with this sweater I got recently on thredUP. Sustainable AND pandemic friendly way to shop since it’s online and secondhand! Check out the link in my profile for tips on consignment shopping online if you wanna try it yourself. And there’s a discount code for thredUP too. 😉
