16 Sustainable Swaps

By Leave a Comment

A collection of my favorite sustainable swaps to inspire small intentional changes that are better for you and the planet. Happy Earth Day!

Earth Day feels a little like Valentine’s Day– like, shouldn’t *every* day be Earth Day?

Still, I wanted to share something for the occasion. 

I’m the first to admit that I’ve made many decisions out of convenience and habit rather than a conscious commitment to the betterment of the planet.

Having M around has made me even more conscious of my choices. 

He’s always the first to grab a silicone bag instead of plastic, eat the sad-looking vegetables in the fridge, or open a window instead of turning on the AC. 

Earth Day can feel a bit overwhelming to me; anyone else? 

It’s annual check in where I’m reminded of the size of my personal carbon footprint. 

But instead of shaming ourselves for everything we *aren’t* doing, let’s focus on the little changes we *are* doing and the positive impact they promote. 

In this post I’m sharing the small sustainable swaps that I’m currently loving. 

Check them out and see if they might fit into your lifestyle and bring you joy, too. 

Happy Earth Day!

My Avocado Mattress by Flora & Vino

After my recent move I was on my friend’s blow up bed for nearly two weeks.

I got tired of sleeping on air fast, but it was definitely worth the wait because of what I was waiting for.

Guys, I was waiting to receive my Vegan Avocado Mattress delivery.

Yes, a vegan mattress that also happens to be eco-friendly and named after one of my favorite fruits.

When the delivery guys gingerly unfurled it onto the bed frame, I swooned.

I immediately fell in love with my new button-tufted mattress that reads AVOCADO in olive green stitching on the side.

A love that grew deeper when I plopped down for my first good night’s sleep in weeks.

I shared a bit about my decision to try an Avocado Mattress on Instagram and promised to share my thoughts in a post.

So, get comfy and let’s pillow-talk.
