GIVEAWAY TIME! The temps are cooling down and the gift-giving season is ramping up. And while secondhand first is the name of the game, I am super wild in love with @made.trade ! It’s like a one-stop eco-chic shop, curated with style (NOT CRUNCHY) and sterling ethics. You can easily shop #vegan, #fairtrade, etc and the aesthetic is ON POINT (from clothes to home goods). Plus, carbon-neutral shipping and low-waste shipping materials. They’ve thought of everything and I literally spent hours perusing their site and found a ton of things my family (OR JUST FOR ME) would love for the holidays. One lucky winner is gonna get this CHIC AS HELL Minna handwoven blocks throw in peach ($150 value). It’s 56” x 80” and 100% cotton! Ready to cuddle up with this cutie? Here’s how you enter: 1. Follow @made.trade and @ashleepiper 2. Peruse the MADETRADE.com site & comment your fave product 3. Tag two friends who also like things that are fuckin stylish and eco-conscious I’ll announce the winner on Monday! Also swipe to see my personal faves!!!!
I’m not usually one for buying a ton of new makeup, but when folks ask me what’s a conscious company that makes high-performance cosmetics, @aetherbeautyco is always at the top of my list. The entirety recyclable compact is made with FSC-paper and soy inks. The company is woman-owned and the makeup is multi-purpose, crystal-infused, thoughtfully formulated, #crueltyfree, #vegan, and filled with clean ingredients that act as skin care. @aetherbeautyco latest debut is this Amethyst Gemstone Palette, which I love because purple is a beautiful complement to brown eyes. The shades are formulated with coconut oil, Shea butter, and amethyst powder for an easy gliding, shimmery finish anywhere. If you’re in the market for something new for your face, this is a treat. 💎
Recommitting to packing: my lunch, that is! Lunchtime is the most wasteful time in the American day and with traveling and a decently demanding day job, I too have had to grab and go instead of meal prepping. The results of constant eating out are suboptimal. I feel sluggish, I spend money, I create more waste than I’d like and most of the time, I’m not even savoring the food or the experience. So, I’m recommitting to packing my lunch everyday (unless I have an offsite business lunch I have to honor). Whenever I do this, I always, ALWAYS feel better (who knew you could drop weight by not eating like a fucking trucker everyday?), save money, use up what I have at home, and better savor when I do go out (to dinner, for instance) because it’s actually a treat. Oh, and the environment is happier. Who wants to get lunchtime loco with me? Pictured: Spiced chickpea stew with kale, coconut milk, and turmeric.
GIVEAWAY! Are you interested in diverting some of the 2 billion plastic razors that end up in landfills & oceans every year (and that’s from just the US alone!)? What about making your grooming routine more #crueltyfree? Oh, and saving money (replacement blades cost $0.2 versus $4+ for a multi-blade cartridge)? What about being as smooth as you wanna be like a badass? YES? Well, one lucky ducky is gonna win a @lisseshave rose gold safety razor (a $60 value!). LISSE is Leaping Bunny certified, #vegan-friendly, and donates proceeds to orgs working to educate and eliminate menstrual taboos. I’m so happy I found this woman-owned company and can bring you guys this neat treat! Entry is easy (US & Canada only, plz): 1. Follow @lisseshave and @ashleepiper 2. Like this post 3. Extra credit: I’ll give 3 extra entries to anyone who reviews my book on Amazon (just PM me a screenshot)! I’ll announce a winner on Monday!!!
