Because of the rising health concerns in regards to aluminum and because of my ever growing desire to become more natural and holistic in my health habits, I decided to try my hand at homemade deodorant. I generally sweat a lot and knew that I didn’t want to make the switch from an aluminum filled […]

In reality, the jump from December 31 to January 1 is similarly significant to any of the other 365 days in the year, and although I highly encourage resolutions and the making of goals I also strongly believe that every day- not just New Years- is a new opportunity for improvement. This year I did […]

For the past month Jan and I have been traveling to several different Christmas markets in and near Frankfurt [check out my video from the Bad Homburg christmas market here]. We decided at the very beginning of the holiday season in November that we wanted to focus on experiences and togetherness throughout the season rather […]

I am not a zero waste guru or a green living specialist, but I generally do try to be conscientious of the choices I make and how these choices affect not just myself but also those I love, other people around me, and my surroundings.

Besides if I can help someone else who is considering making the purchase make an informed decision, […]

For a while now I have been working on decluttering and simplifying my life and my possessions. I mentioned in one of my other posts that minimalism is more of a journey rather than a destination, and I hold onto that belief wholeheartedly. Since minimalism is more of a journey- a way and a perspective through which […]

Happy Advent! Christmas time is one of my favorite times of the year. I love how everything seems to slow down and how during the holiday season family and friends tend to be prioritized. I have so many beautiful memories from Christmas growing up, and as long as I can remember it has been a […]
