behind the blog
Meet Kat
And her schnoodle, Cosette
Thank you for being here today! Your curious heart found this little ol' blog and that, my friend, is just peachy in my book! I'm a social expressions writer who's passionate about sustainability, gift-giving, and shopping! But, most of all, I like chilling with my sweet dogter, Cosette, and playing music with my favorite Renaissance man, Jon. I started this blog to share nifty life tips that have guided my journey, ideas for creating environmentally-friendly habits, and ways to make a more empathetic world. I'm honored you're here.
Where To?
Cruelty-Free
Find new faves that don't test on animals.
We're so lucky to have lots of options for cruelty-free lotions and potions. I'll share with you what I like and new stuff I find!
Music
Take note of what soothes your soul.
Let's hear it for music! Listening to our favorite melodies does so much good. I've got a lot to say about music, so stay tuned!
Sustainability
Discover fun ways to make earth-friendlier changes.
There are small things we all can do to lessen our impact on the planet. It isn't about perfectionism, but maybe just going that one extra step.
I wouldn’t be sad if any of these suddenly showed up at my doorstep.
