2023 is about a healthy planet and a healthy body! 2023 is about a healthy planet and a healthy body! I’ve been drinking more teas and juices with vegetables and fruits to get my daily nutrition, and I’m loving this glass tea infused bottle from @teasewellness! It also came with a soft cover to help avoid the glass from being chipped or broken. Enjoying the view of downtown Asheville and the mountains from my office window this morning 🪟💚
@notes.candles sells refillable candles that come @notes.candles sells refillable candles that come in compostable packaging. They’re super easy to refill and such a good idea to limit the number of candles you have in storage (guilty) and the question of what to do with the glass vessel when you’re done burning it. 🕯️
A much needed reminder thanks to the @westvillagem A much needed reminder thanks to the @westvillagemarket building!

One thing that has been such a positive moving from Charlotte to Asheville is there are ACTUAL local grocery stores. What a shocking concept. 😅

There are so many local markets, co-ops, and stores that it’s hard not to choose small businesses. It’s giving very much Iowa City vibes ♥️

AND there is a city composting facility. I’m so thankful places like Asheville exist and even more thankful I get to now call it home! 🏡
We’re moving! 📦🚛 My partner and I are rel We’re moving! 📦🚛

My partner and I are relocating from Charlotte to Asheville and we couldn’t be more excited.

In the chaos of moving, we got a new mattress! Our apartment in AVL is going to be smaller than CLT, so were downsizing a bit. A plus side of this is being able to upgrade to an @avocadogreenbrands mattress! This is one of the only mattress brands that’s “good” for the environment.

They’re a B-certified corporation, certified organic, fair trade, and climate neutral! They’re part of 1% for the planet and have a mission to become the first zero waste mattress in the world. 🌎🌍🌏

Even better, we were able to get ours used through a local return program. Someone used this mattress and topper for a short period and then returned it to the manufacturer. ♻️

As you can tell, Lucy is a big fan. 🐶💤

Hi, I’m Sydney

I use this blog as a way to grow and connect with others, like you! I’m on a journey towards a low-waste lifestyle and would love for you to join in. There will be lots of thrifted fashion, vegan food, animal petting, and nature, so if that’s your thing, you’re in the right place.
