I was blessed with a beautiful shape, but if that’s not an option for you, there are a ton of wooden slabs you can find online if you search “wood slab cookie”. There should be a ton on Etsy. There are also some that have no cracks while others may have some as it naturally happens when wood dries. Raw wood naturally has water just because it was once a living thing, but it’s also what happens if you’ve left it out exposed to the elements. Mistake #1 to Avoid: The surface area dries a lot quicker than the inside of the wood, which is what causes the cracks. So if you’re drying the wood yourself and don’t want the cracked effect like I had (which kind of defeats the purpose of the moss art coffee table), then I advise you seal the wood properly. Mistake #2 to Avoid: Do not leave your moss out and exposed to the elements! Wood is porous so it will bring the dirt on the surface into the wood or the water will go deep into the wood and create mold. If it’s too embedded, no amount of sanding the wood can get rid of it — which is what I had to live with (see later images for how much water damage it got. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/026fa317-b6de-41f6-89e6-3ade76600f85/IMG_2575.jpg Blog - Moss Art — Build Your Own Moss Table (5 Steps) - Step 2: Forage Moss You’ll probably want to do this around the same time you’re securing your wood slab because it’ll take time to dry and prepare your moss. You can also buy this as well, but moss for art is expensive! I’m pretty sure the moss variety I found was the Dicranum Scoparium because they look identical to the photo describing it online and it grows on the floor or rocks near pine trees, which is exactly where I found it (on the floor)! This moss is popular for crafts because of its deep yet vibrant green color. It’s honestly the most beautiful moss I’ve seen and it reminded me of some luxurious fur. The rhizoids (aka roots, but not technically roots) of this variety are super thick and long, which isn’t great for plopping on top of the coffee table, but was great for separating and sticking into the cracks of the wood. I’m also not sure if I used a different moss variety but it looked like mixture of the Dicranum Scoparium and something else — I found it on top of a rock so it had much shorter rhizoids, which made it great for bending around the edge of the coffee table from the side to the top of it, and it created a more natural “moss-growing-on-table” type of look (see Step 5 photo below). Make sure to use gloves and bring a basket or water-proof bag to collect your moss! Also, have the dirt-side of the moss pieces touching the dirt-side, and moss-side touching the moss-side so that you don’t get more dirt on the moss. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/74683bfd-98e0-417c-a72f-7f212580be3a/IMG_2576.jpg Blog - Moss Art — Build Your Own Moss Table (5 Steps) - Step 3: Prep Moss For Crafts I did a ton of research to try to understand how to preserve moss, but often times the videos were very different from the variety I used. Since the rhizoids are so thick, it takes a much longer time to dry. Still, I’ll share the resources I’ve used to learn how to dry moss and how to dye moss as well. Materials: vegetable glycerin for crafts, warm water, green food coloring, a rock, a sheet to hold down your moss in the water, and a large container. Directions: 1. Pick the pine leaves and other debris — be careful, there will likely be bugs hiding out of your moss! I saw spider eggs embedded in the rhizoids. 2. Leave your moss out on a surface that has ventilation underneath. If your moss doesn’t have that much mass to it and is flimsy, then I’d suggest getting a netted metal sheet to place on top of your moss to get it to dry in its original flat shape. Keep it in a dark, dry place. 3. Once dried, rub off the excess dirt. Don’t confuse the dirt for the rhizoids of the moss. 4. Add 1 part glycerin to 4 parts warm water and add food coloring. Use a bright, green food coloring (mine was too dark and it totally washed our to vibrant, neon-like color. Place the rock and sheet (if applicable) on top of the moss to keep it submerged and wait a little under a day (not too long or mold will grow). Mistake #3 to Avoid: Don’t try to preserve it without dye - the natural color will fade because you’ll need to use warm water so that the glycerin mixes in with the water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/67f662be-5605-415c-a3a3-b9e710155d2e/IMG_2580.jpg Blog - Moss Art — Build Your Own Moss Table (5 Steps) - Step 4: Prep Coffee Table Finish Once your table is dry, sand the surface if needed, and wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth to get rid of all of the particles. Then, use 3 coats of Danish Oil. I used the Watco Danish Oil in Natural as it works well on pine wood. It brought out the natural rings of the pine wood beautifully. I then finished it with a water-based polyurethane by Varathane to protect the wood from further water damage. This stuff is not good to breathe in so I highly suggest opening a window for some ventilation. I applied around 2-3 coats of this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/a624a399-16d6-483e-b5f6-4b6dff7678b8/IMG_2582.jpg Blog - Moss Art — Build Your Own Moss Table (5 Steps) - Step 5: Glue the Moss I used a hot glue gun to simply glue the rhizoid side of the moss onto the cracks as well as on top of the moss. This one was pretty straightforward — use your best judgment and let your artistic eye shine! I initially filled in just the natural cracks of my wood, but it made the placement of the moss looked a little spare and random, so I glued on two big lumps on the side and top of the coffee table to make it look more natural. https://www.clairesua.com/blog/2023/12/23/refillable-non-toxic-candle-review monthly 0.5 2023-12-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/e1566fac-8d0b-4893-a1d9-cec0a098fb92/NOTES.png Blog - The Best Non-Toxic Refillable Soy Wax Candles: Notes vs. Arbor Made - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/2863800d-1d86-494f-a6d2-87433de487d5/IMG_2071.jpg Blog - The Best Non-Toxic Refillable Soy Wax Candles: Notes vs. Arbor Made - Notes Candle: Notes Candle has scents I love, particularly clean and woodsy. My favorite scent was Bamboo & Water Lily — it smelled so fresh and even though it was strong, it wasn’t overpowering at all. However, the elephant in the room is its tendency to tunnel, compromising the burn time and overall monetary value. Despite this setback, the scent throw is undeniably strong, permeating spaces even when unlit. The proclaimed 36-hour burn time feels shorter because it tunnels, but the starter bundle, priced at $54, offers a vessel and two refills. Each refill is priced at $18, which is pretty affordable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/383699db-cfa3-4afe-a7e1-90e3c230df26/IMG_2076.jpg Blog - The Best Non-Toxic Refillable Soy Wax Candles: Notes vs. Arbor Made - Arbor Made: Arbor Made emerges as a strong contender, avoiding tunneling thanks to its pre-shaped wax. Refilling is really easy because all you have to do is push the bottom and the wax pops out. I can even repurpose the leftover wax I pop out by adding it on top of my next refill. The one drawback is that Arbor Made scents lean towards sweeter scents, which I’m not a fan of, but they recently released fresher/cleaner scents like Midnight Orchard. Although the scent throw might not match Notes Candle's intensity, the 35-hour burn time justifies the $78 starter kit and $18 refills in the long-haul. You can use CLAIRE15 if you’re interested in trying, which would help make it more affordable!

Peachy Keen Nature is Rich Crewneck $50 Recycled Fabric crewneck with inclusive sizing shipped with 100% compostable mailers and made in sweatshop-free factories — limited stock. This company is female-founded, two of the founders I’ve met virtually and I can truly vouch for how much they care for fellow women and the environment. Self-admittedly not perfect in its environmental standards, it is nevertheless always trying within its reasonable means and always looking to improve. PLUS, it’s super difficult to find plus-size clothing within the ethical fashion industry, and Peachy Keen offers sizes XXS-5X.

AURATE Bold Ear Cuff $40 Female-owned sustainable jewelry company based in NYC with the most elegantly bold gold jewelry. I love their designs and although the ethical jewelry industry is extremely complicated and diamonds in particular are hard to truly ethically source to its rawest material, this company although in its imperfection is one of the best in my opinion for its quality.

Kjaer Weis Liquid Foundation $48 One of my favorite beauty brands, I was thrilled when Kjaer Weis reached out to me for a partnership. Already having bought their liquid and cream foundations as well as the lip liner, I was so happy to be able to start endorsing them even more than I usually do on my own. I love their new liquid foundation (more so than the cream because of the drier climate these days), and they come in as many darker shades as lighter ones. Sustainable through its packaging and refillable, non-toxic, and cruelty free.

This unisex shirt is a great gift for the man (or any he/she/they, really) in your life — there aren’t as many choices for men or androgynous ethical clothing compared to womens, so this brand that has more unisex clothing is perfect for anyone on your shopping list.

Maude FDA Grade Vibe Vibrator $45 A discreet, minimal toy brought to you by Maude, a sexual wellness company that makes sex safer for you and your partner. Not only does it sell vibrators, but also non-toxic condoms, massage candles, lube, and bath products. I love the branding, packaging, and empowering message. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1606431145005-ZSHZW0FEE9DBVIT9S0X2/Screen+Shot+2020-11-26+at+5.52.14+PM.png Blog - The Ultimate 2020 Clean Beauty, Ethical Or Sustainable Fashion Gift-Guide – 15 Under $50 - 9. Candly.nyc Non-Toxic Candle $16-$23 The cotton-wick, soy wax, paraffin-free candles are my favorite candles so far. The scents are so unique and everyone I’ve gifted this to so far loves the scents! If you’re thinking of buying someone a Jo Malone, Yankee Candle, or basically any other candle, re-think because those traditional candles are very bad for your health! Many candles are petroleum-based, which may be the cause of your headaches whenever you light your paraffin candle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1606434100467-S6U7Z0XZV3G8WHH7VY7T/2679_15275_251139.jpg Blog - The Ultimate 2020 Clean Beauty, Ethical Or Sustainable Fashion Gift-Guide – 15 Under $50 - 10. Country Road Lucite Large Frame $39 This frame is made from a company with strong ethical standards in its production. Although not sustainable, this lucite frame is more shatter-proof than glass and can be used for many years to store your memories. I love shopping from Australian company Country Road because of its wide range of goods, and since the seasons are opposite with New York, I usually can find upcoming season items on sale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1606436812165-1UU0XII03CBW7J98CRMB/e4vkpywfsujx78q0i6lp+%281%29.jpg Blog - The Ultimate 2020 Clean Beauty, Ethical Or Sustainable Fashion Gift-Guide – 15 Under $50 - 11. Sézane Maison Appoline Mug $40 Handmade, and the perfect personal gift for the coffee/tea drinker! Sézane uses mostly eco-friendly materials and has 3 reputable certifications — GOTS, Oeko-Tex, and FSC. According to Good on You, it does ensure payment of a living wage in some of its supply chain and audits the final stage of production, but like most companies, it cannot trace it fully and does not publicly share its Code of Conduct. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1606439235262-1P9DLAI8HQXOQ9ROMTMU/lifestyle-3000px-mudd-0_7be672ab-b766-450f-b352-8cb5256caec7_450x.jpg Blog - The Ultimate 2020 Clean Beauty, Ethical Or Sustainable Fashion Gift-Guide – 15 Under $50 - 12. Ocean Cleansing Mudd $48 This cleanser leaves my skin feeling so tingly after use, so I love using it in the morning to wake me up. It helps calm blemishes, and is super gentle. OSEA is one of the first brands I encountered when I started my clean beauty journey 3-4 years ago, and is what I think a major pioneer in the space. Founded by a mother and daughter, it mostly uses the potent power of seaweed (which as a Korean I can attest to its healing properties), to target skin concerns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1606439361660-6JFU8TR0PTFCJMUIZWHY/100A0090-S_1500x1500.jpg Blog - The Ultimate 2020 Clean Beauty, Ethical Or Sustainable Fashion Gift-Guide – 15 Under $50 - 13. Foundationals Easy-Does-It Tank $38 The Foundationals is a Public Benefit Corporation — one of the requirements of a Benefit Corporation is that it must produce an annual benefit report in which a third-party assesses its ethical standards. Its factory is also SA8000 and LEEDS Platinum certified. It also offers a virtual factory tour of its Vietnam factory. It uses mostly eco-friendly materials. I love how it offers basics, but in a trendy and elevated way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1606446457079-R0NTK9R294PO466YF4JB/itqdpyizprw31hzvuncr_x1400.jpg Blog - The Ultimate 2020 Clean Beauty, Ethical Or Sustainable Fashion Gift-Guide – 15 Under $50 - 14. Organic Basics Organic Cotton Ankle Socks $15 GOTS certified cotton and ethically made, these socks are the perfect gift for anyone on your list — because no one likes buying socks for themselves. There are more options on site that range from different colors to cozier options. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1606445533748-N7PFGIE20QYSM31WIQ2B/Screen+Shot+2020-11-26+at+9.51.59+PM.png Blog - The Ultimate 2020 Clean Beauty, Ethical Or Sustainable Fashion Gift-Guide – 15 Under $50 - 15. This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate Book $17 For the reader or the one friend who still doesn’t believe in the intersectional issues of climate change, this book is definitely on my to-be-read list. I often remind people I’m no sustainability professional or expert, so it’s important to remain educated, read, and learn. https://www.clairesua.com/blog/sustainable-options-for-fall-2020-trends monthly 0.5 2020-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1600442319603-K0VXOKNXFYFCD3HEHBY0/Screen+Shot+2020-09-18+at+11.18.12+AM.png Blog - Sustainable Options For 8 Fall 2020 Trends - 1. Leather Boyfriend Blazer I would say go to my favorite vintage stores NANIN VINTAGE or IAMTHATSHOP, but I honestly think the best place to get these are on a second-hand clothing app like Poshmark. Just type in “leather boyfriend blazer” on one of these apps and you’ll find so much more affordable options. Thrifting and/or secondhand is sustainable because you’re reusing rather than buying something new. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1600442943385-3VOSY1RM7172FD3DSBUT/JESSICA%2BTIE%2BDYE.jpeg Blog - Sustainable Options For 8 Fall 2020 Trends - 2. Tie-Dye Shirts The one pictured here is from SISTERHOOD, which comes in both red and blue — made out of organic cotton, not the most sustainable fiber since it still requires a lot of water to produce, but one of the better options out there compared to regular cotton and polyester. FORDAYS also has good options if you want more diverse styles & colors — oversized, cropped, sweaters, or more. Use code CLAIRE for 15% off. SISTERHOOD states on its website that it is carbon neutral and plants a tree with every purchase although no public information I could find to confirm. It states that it has an onsite agent that oversees production from start to finish, visits it factory regularly, and working to only offer 100% sustainable fabrics. Taking a look at its clothing on site, it looks like it uses some natural fabrics and some deadstock. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1600443281159-OKRODB8VK19ZXHDI5AJP/photo_sep_07_6_05_22_pm_1_2x.jpg Blog - Sustainable Options For 8 Fall 2020 Trends - 3. Bucket Hats Once again, FORDAYS comes up on the list because it’s a great place to shop for simple bucket hats. It has an amazing take-back program where it will take any piece of clothing and give you a great discount when you send back a FOR DAYS item. Use code CLAIRE for 15% off. Again, you can find plenty of more options by searching “bucket hat” in a secondhand shopping app. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1600443647273-F087X7HWQWK4R00BG2NY/Screen+Shot+2020-09-18+at+11.39.56+AM.png Blog - Sustainable Options For 8 Fall 2020 Trends - 4. Zebra or Cow Pants House of Sunny has made quite the scene in not only the sustainable, but emerging fashion industry as a whole amongst trendy millennials. A lot of its designs remind me of the 70s with its funky colors, shapes, and patterns. Again, it’s easy to find a bunch on Poshmark, Depop, and more! House of Sunny uses e-flow technology to limit water waste, creates items in small batches and creates pre-orders for when it sells out, and uses a different method of printing patterns on clothing to reduce textile waste. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1600445205304-XREKIRZ5W6S5L2QQF7SU/m_5ee287f388cce3163e62219d.jpg Blog - Sustainable Options For 8 Fall 2020 Trends - 5. Mesh Tops Sheer mesh tops that are tie-dye, cut & sewn, or patterned with lettuce sleeves are everywhere right now. I recently bought one with a cute cherub pattern on Depop for around $15, but there are other albeit pricier options on JJ Vintage and Conflict of Ego. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1600445627706-7ZIAJZFBOKVQZIDZN9TO/Screen+Shot+2020-09-18+at+12.10.14+PM.png Blog - Sustainable Options For 8 Fall 2020 Trends - 6. Cutout Knit Sweaters There’s something so casually elevated about this trend that I’m obsessed with. Although I can’t find a lot of sustainable companies at the moment for this trend, the way I’m going to sustainably participate is by purchasing a cream knit sweater on a second-hand store app, cutting it in half, and re-working the lower piece into a tube top / tank top to use as the inner piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1600445961493-V0I0L8BMXIFDLE7B77WJ/Screen+Shot+2020-09-18+at+12.18.47+PM.png Blog - Sustainable Options For 8 Fall 2020 Trends - 7. Cargo Pants I bought this exact pair from Local European. Although it’s a bit pricier, these are such high-quality pieces, in my opinion, that are so beautifully designed and made Items at Local European are made out of deadstock material, which limits waste, reduces carbon waste, and saves energy (although there is a lot of speculation and controversy over the use of deadstock — read here.) This means that items are made in small batches (lower impact) because of this and can’t be restocked. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1600917859818-7WLP6H8COFZ0P2JXKWJG/il_1588xN.2307626999_caqq.jpg Blog - Sustainable Options For 8 Fall 2020 Trends - 8. Fur-Trim Coat This reminds me so much of that one outfit Meygan the Bratz Doll has with her dark purple velvet fur-trim coat with a lavender fur edge and I love it. I just haven’t found the perfect one online yet with the correct details I love, but Etsy and Depop have beautiful handmade or vintage options. The one pictured here is from Etsy. https://www.clairesua.com/blog/affordable-ways-outside-of-the-exclusive-ethical-fashion-industry-to-live-more-sustainably monthly 0.5 2020-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599956516886-O8SRWGJUXSL9GD4ZQM3O/Hand-Soap-Refill-copy.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Refillable Hand Soap Use code CLAIREPGA for 25% off https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599957864039-ESUXRAFDGI1AP5R62XNZ/reusable-mesh-grocery-bag-lifestyle.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Reusable Produce Bag Use code CLAIREPGA for 25% Off https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599957456074-2JJEBJ0HT5W5FGL271IX/Bamboo-Toothbrush.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Sustainable Dental Care Use code CLAIREPGA for 25% off https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599959020539-81OVJBH9QZFWFECBOWHB/MasksLarge1-Edit_703x893.progressive.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Washable Cloth Mask Use code CLAIRESUA20 for 20% off https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599956903535-XP1PGMA5W2I8WGH86ADI/Body-Wash-Refill-copy.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Refillable Body Wash Use code CLAIREPGA for 25% off https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599957230341-ES8Q28X1PN4GG8J3SAYU/bamboo-wet-wipes.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Bamboo Wet Wipes Use code CLAIREPGA for 25% off https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599957342352-4TS0AH8OGGM8V0KHHWRZ/tampons_regular_03.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Organic & Sustainable Menstrual Care Use code CLAIRPGA for 25% Off https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599957598003-AZHAG6545H4DAA3YSYPM/bamboo-straw-kit.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Bamboo Straw + Cleaner Use code CLAIREPGA for 25% off https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599958183802-7AVRMQS5PATRM84CYV2P/Laundry-Detergent-copy.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Graywater-Friendly Laundry Detergent Use code CLAIREPGA for 25% off https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599958749785-GCUE3BZOYSBCGKWYUSFF/2020Ecomm_PackageFree_BambooToiletPaper_TanPaper_2_540x.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Unbleached Bamboo Toilet Paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599958800705-8ZK9XIDZCJFAYIF1JPJ7/Kooshoo_Scrunchies_Blonde_720x.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Biodegradable Scrunchies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599958842692-G8YWRABF08Z7E62SWIBC/Swedish_Dishcloth_Blue_Flowers_720x.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Reusable Swedish Dishcloth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599958944743-VYH0TBEJJZQ4U8XXPPC1/2020Ecomm_Stasher_Sandwich_Terracotta_1_540x.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Reusable Sandwich Bag https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1599959234850-BEJAAGOXF4R5YQU0M6VQ/wns6-almn-laydown-1-1552326182.jpg Blog - Affordable Ways Outside of the Exclusive Ethical Fashion Industry to Live More Sustainably - Organic Cotton Socks or Undergarments https://www.clairesua.com/blog/2020/7/15/affordable-ethical-brands monthly 0.5 2020-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1595824715339-UZB55540AVORU4K0EA58/wct-blk-2-1579888241.jpg Blog - Affordable Ethical Brands To Help You On Your Journey - Pact Apparel The best way to start your sustainable journey is by looking at what items you frequently use. The impacts of those items will build up over time. When choosing to only shop for ethical fashion, one of the first things I did was slowly swap out my basics with Pact Apparel when my old products were getting too old. I remember being so impressed with Pact Apparel because the first pack of underwear it sent me was too small, so instead of offering me an exchange, they told me to keep it/give it to someone else to reduce the carbon emission waste of having to send it back, and they would send me the right size. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1595824823796-RVPJ19NC4AV6G1EQBPFH/img_8759.jpg Blog - Affordable Ethical Brands To Help You On Your Journey - FOR DAYS I think this brand is great for those who like casual clothing with a youthful street style. Similar to the point above, you’re going to want to slowly swap out your basics. When replacing your old items, remember to be mindful about what you do with your old clothes. Simply swapping out clothing for the sake of getting new ethical clothes is not helping the environment. FOR DAYS helps with getting rid of your old clothes with its Take Back Bag program — it takes any brand of clothing as long as it’s clean and washed. It also uses mostly organic cotton, a lower-impact material.

They have a bunch of simple yet chic basics that can be re-worked to be stylish. Something about the shape of these pieces makes it easy to standalone as a trendy piece or used as a base layer of clothing to re-work into something more elaborately stylish. It’s not too pricy either for how ethical it is — something I’m very skeptical about it but even after looking into it further, I trust its ethical and sustainability practices because of the certifications, virtual factory tour, and materials (mostly eco-friendly fabrics). There isn’t too much information on traceability throughout supply chain, however. I also want to take the time to acknowledge that there aren’t too many sizes either, so while it is affordable it still does remain exclusive to a certain demographic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1595825102520-IBBDE803D8REZCVQ7YU8/Screen+Shot+2020-07-27+at+12.44.48+AM.png Blog - Affordable Ethical Brands To Help You On Your Journey - ARMEDANGELS This brand isn’t as affordable as the above two brands, but just like there’s a tradeoff between how ethical a brand is and its affordability, the same relationship exists for how stylish the clothing — in general, basics are simply less expensive to produce. You’ll find the basics generally are more affordable, but pieces like cardigans and dresses are pricier. According to Good on You, it has a great rating for how it produces its clothing considering people and the environment, and a good rating for being cruelty-free throughout its supply chain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1595825338766-53RH58IVEU06MEJKC040/NMN-PEN-PNK-2.jpg Blog - Affordable Ethical Brands To Help You On Your Journey - KNOW THE ORIGIN This brand is also similar to ARMEDANGELS in that you’ll find some affordable pieces when it comes to basics, while a bit more elaborate items will be more expensive. As alluded to before, keep in mind a cardigan was never supposed to really be $20 until the rise of fast fashion and globalization that led to cheap labor and materials. Essentially, you really do get what you pay for and should consider things like cost per wear (how many time will you be able to wear this, and how timeless is it?). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1597726883342-90CGTDFDXJ22UA4VJME6/DSCF2780_1500x+%281%29.jpg Blog - Affordable Ethical Brands To Help You On Your Journey - OHSEVENDAYS This is a little bit more on the pricy side, however not outrageous compared to a lot of luxury ethical brands out there. I like OHSEVENDAYS because a lot of its clothes are trendier than your usual basics, and the price point is manageable for me when I consume in moderation. The pieces can be re-worked and re-styled for years. However, its environment rating on Good on You is more impressive (5/5) than its labor rating (2/2). It uses mostly natural fibers like cotton and created high-quality clothing that will last for years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1595903779413-HY7LMIDK7L8A9AOEI7VM/TCW3409-0164_201-Edit_1_703x893.progressive.jpg Blog - Affordable Ethical Brands To Help You On Your Journey - Tentree This is one of those brands that are similar to those with quality basics, but a bit more elevated in quality and material (in my opinion). Based on my experience with the pieces I own, the pieces are really soft, durable, and the perfect WFH clothing. Tentree plants ten trees for each purchase and uses a wide range of eco-friendly materials. It uses renewable energy within its supply chain.

It’s still a relatively new brand, so it’s still hard to conclusively say what rating it should get, but based on the materials stated for its current items, it's environmental rating is decent at best — despite the environmentally unfriendly materials, it is carbon neutral. Again, that’s not to say you shouldn’t shop here just because of that reason. As commonly stated throughout this post, you should consider your financial means and/or the fact that you’re putting your dollars here as opposed to a SHEIN or Fashion Nova. There isn’t a fool-proof way to prove its labor promises are legit, but it states that it works with a small factory in which fair wages are paid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1595904375816-L624IGOF245Z6URQ2R74/lola_rust_900x1348_crop_center.jpg Blog - Affordable Ethical Brands To Help You On Your Journey - Whimsy + Row We’ve definitely entered the $$$-$$$$ area with this one, but if you’re looking for outerwear, dressy pants, or special-occasion dresses that will last, then this is your place to look. This company has a great environment rating on Good on You, and decent labor ratings, so like a lot of other ethical brands, by no means is it perfect. However, it mostly markets itself as a sustainable / eco-friendly clothing store. Also, if you’re not one who likes to re-wear clothing for special occasions, know that there is always an option to re-sell your clothing at a reasonable price. This gives others an opportunity to shop for ethical clothing at lower prices and also helps you shop more affordably. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1597798578056-TXMQY98F2NXFQSKKEQZE/Screen+Shot+2020-08-18+at+8.56.07+PM.png Blog - Affordable Ethical Brands To Help You On Your Journey - Public Goods This company sells super affordable goods for your home, including but not limited to cleaning, cooking, and bath supplies. Some items are a hit or a miss in terms of product efficacy, but I do love a a lot of its wide array of products (agave syrup, body lotion, silk floss, toothbrushes, organic tampons, essential oils, toothpaste, bamboo wet wipes, produce bags — just to name a couple). A lot of its products are ethical in some way — non-toxic, vegan, natural, refillable — you name it. The company seeks to make sustainable living affordable and accessible to all.

If your clothing is made out of polyester (which most are), microscopic plastic particles come out of the clothing in the wash into our water systems. Most of our water sources that we use to drink are filled with these particles, so it’s important that we avoid this by using this filtering bag.

Bedding materials are mostly made out of cotton and polyester. Cotton is often cultivated with toxic pesticides if it isn’t organic and even if it is, it still results in a lot of water waste in its production cycle. And polyester is a man-made fabric that sheds very tiny micro-particles of plastic each time you wash it. This plastic eventually goes into our water system and pollutes our wildlife, which is why the use of plastic is such an issue. (Yes, that means even your polyester clothing release and shed these materials — You can use these washing bags to stop micro waste from ending up in our oceans and use code CLAIRESOB2 for a discount. *No commission made through this code). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1594360521394-90KFJJWZJKIEDPB6URT5/Jul-10-2020+01-53-14.gif Blog - The Most Breathable And Sustainable Bedding That’s Worth Every Penny Taken from Ettitude Website https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1594361801877-SWELELGLLCAGFICBGF4K/6F5A5A18-D956-411F-AECA-FE6E4947A815-F4AB3043-AA70-44F4-BF41-F0BAD5308C5B.JPG Blog - The Most Breathable And Sustainable Bedding That’s Worth Every Penny - Other Notable Callouts: 1.

This means that items are made in small batches (lower impact) because of this and can’t be restocked. About: “For the Elegant Streetgirl” is the IG bio of Local European. The owner, producer, and creator is none other than Alexandra Bunch. The styles, in my opinion, are elevated, minimalist yet edgy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1593492823937-T965L42M5OU626REIXL4/il_fullxfull.2169203948_gzln.jpg Blog - 11 Blacked-Owned Ethical Brands You Should Support - NXC Vintage Shop Sizing: varies (thrifted/vintage) Price: $$ How is it ethical?: There’s nothing more sustainable than secondhand! By giving a garment a new life, you’re effectively repurposing materials that don’t require carbon emission (minus the shipping — try to buy from thrift stores near you), water waste, hazardous chemicals, as well as avoid having garment end up in landfill.

It uses some sustainable materials, and upcycles or recycles its threads. About: Taylor Jay herself wanted to simplify a woman’s life and stand the test of time in both style and durability.

That Means… … consumerism will be at its highest peak — but this post isn’t about why we shouldn’t be shopping during the holidays. As much as shopping the way we do during this time hurts the environment (all of the shipping, extra waste, packaging, etc.) as well as our wallets, discouraging shopping altogether is far too unrealistic and “grinchy” in my opinion. Rather, let’s put our dollars towards companies that do good at a good price — here’s to good gifts! *Some affiliate links & store-credit/commission received with details specified below.

It also has a great labor rating, according to the Good on You app. That’s why I thought it more appropriate to include this water bottle instead of clothes that may not be made of completely natural materials. Plus, if you know someone who doesn’t have a reusable water bottle by now, tell them to get with it already! It’s 2020. And what better way to do so than by kindly gifting it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1574030973348-K9YSB6MK2G7HO6PRC0Z0/Liquid_Liner_Open_1300x.jpg Blog - 15 Affordable And Sustainable Gifts Under $50 She'd Love - Clean Carbon Black Free Liquid Eyeliner Ilia Price: $28.

It was so strange to me to try a tampon without an applicator, but it’s a whole lot better for the environment and just requires some extra before and after hand-washing (I know that was gross, but I’d hate for you to get a tampon without an applicator and wonder how the hell you’ll get it up there like I did… lol). I thought the tampon did its job and I had no trouble with it — it performed exactly like the traditional tampons I used to use even on my heavier days. Public Goods also has bamboo liners and pads of all different sizes that range from $3-$3.50. Bamboo is a super sustainable choice because it requires less water to produce. https://www.clairesua.com/blog/2019/9/19/2ctucleyl2qxaw8f0xnqj03v4946u3 monthly 0.5 2019-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1569896007026-Q6X1UXDBX1DF6K25SZPX/A7E450E7-C8A4-4F5F-87A1-D2776D9E9038.JPG Blog - The Affordable, Non-Toxic, Eco-Friendly Mattress You Need to Try - Why Are Non-Toxic, Sustainable Mattresses Important? Similar to how non-toxic, organic materials are important for your under-things; or how clean makeup & skincare is important for your skin; it is also important for non-toxic, sustainable materials to be used for your mattress: 1. You’re in contact with it everyday, and traditional mattresses have pthalates, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and VOCs - some of which are used as flame retardants that don’t work. Although in small doses some of these are not too bad, daily use for long periods of time is definitely not good for you. 2. Traditional mattresses are a huge headache to sustainability. They take up a lot of space in landfills, are made of unsustainable materials that are not biodegradable, and as mentioned - toxic! I think we all deserve a mattress that won’t hurt our health, our planet, and our wallet. In search for a comfortable, sustainable, and affordable mattress, I opted for the Cypress Bamboo Gel Mattress from Brentwood Home in full-size for $430. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1570416977638-EJBUDRI9TB2BE1ZVQJD3/B2662117-BBF8-421F-A02A-A45F45BFE512.jpg Blog - The Affordable, Non-Toxic, Eco-Friendly Mattress You Need to Try https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1570417915030-W4ZSJM63SMI2A8HHMYXX/4DD54360-E610-4463-9000-2589C535F950.jpg Blog - The Affordable, Non-Toxic, Eco-Friendly Mattress You Need to Try https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1570417440574-N3ARITU39L4DIO146T7S/5B628C52-5C65-4A82-9F1F-C83F6DC08C02.jpg Blog - The Affordable, Non-Toxic, Eco-Friendly Mattress You Need to Try - Delivers Right to Your Door Use the button below for 15% off your first order https://www.clairesua.com/blog/sustainable-water-filters monthly 0.5 2020-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1569206043281-HGXZVL2IRHYMDXTHEP46/tapp+water.gif Blog - The Biodegradable Water Filter Revolutionizing How We Drink Water - The Way We Drink Water… can ultimately be destructive to the environment. If you drink bottled water, it’s unsafe for you and has a bunch of unethical practices in its production. Tap water can be polluted and unsafe depending on where you live. And water filters are non-biodegradable and at best recyclable. It’s ironic how the resource we depend on everyday to give us life is the same resource causing us to pollute the earth. I’m unsure what it’s like in your state/country, but in NYC, people mostly drink from a water filter attached to their water source (refrigerator, sink, etc.), or bottled water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1569201694772-Y91U74AVR7DXHNZX8C5K/image-asset.png Blog - The Biodegradable Water Filter Revolutionizing How We Drink Water Image from Tapp Water Website https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1569206545042-10NW8FA0OHTX4JP5XTSK/unnamed+%282%29.jpg Blog - The Biodegradable Water Filter Revolutionizing How We Drink Water https://www.clairesua.com/blog/2019/9/8 monthly 0.5 2019-09-11 https://www.clairesua.com/blog/ethical-fall-2019-outfits monthly 0.5 2019-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1567978243751-R36JCOM0IT9XQWK2VPHB/Screen+Shot+2019-09-08+at+5.26.05+PM.png Blog - 3 Ethical Fall 2019 Outfits You Need To Try - Boxy Brown Blazer from Olive Clothing.

If you’re unsure of where to start and don’t want to spend too much on a product you’re not sure will work for you, I have just the thing to get your foot in the door! Just two weeks of using the products below changed my skin drastically. But before we get into all of that, you might be wondering what clean beauty is: Just because a beauty product is clean, does not mean it is “natural”. Clean means non-toxic and safe, and can include lab-made ingredients, while natural means unprocessed, found in and of nature. Not only that, but clean beauty refers to the safety of ingredients as well as efficacy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1567479363089-6U476K0FPNDFLTWK218U/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Best Way To Try Out Clean Beauty On a Budget - The Clean Essentials Kit This kit is how I first started to get into clean beauty. It’s only $25 for a basic skincare routine — soap to wash your hands, cleanser to remove dirt/exfoliate, toner for prepping, and moisturizer. TIP: use code ref_clairesua for 15% OFF If you haven’t heard of the company, Follain is a retailer that constantly tests products to place on their shelves. Only 10% pass this test, because not only does Follain screen for unsafe ingredients, but it enlists a panel of people to test the efficacy of a product for 4-6 weeks. As a Follain ambassador who has been using its products for a year now, let me give you a break down of each product in this kit and my real opinion on them — no commission, no affiliate links: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1567735939754-1R4YMONYXZJICCI93JM5/image+%282%29.jpeg Blog - The Best Way To Try Out Clean Beauty On a Budget - 1. Follain Everything Soap Not only is this soap clean, but it’s versatile because it’s almost like a castille soap where you can use it on just about anything. I don’t use it to wash my face because I feel weird using an “everything soap” for my face, even though the ingredient list shows it’s pretty gentle. I also use it as a pet soap for my cat and it leaves her smelling unbelievably good, especially the lavender scent. ALSO, it’s sustainable! If you can get to a Follain store, they have this on tap for you to refill your full-size bottle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1567735879770-0KPKYBWIMUH4H8RCTN3G/image+%281%29.jpeg Blog - The Best Way To Try Out Clean Beauty On a Budget - 2. OSEA Cleanser I didn’t notice much of a change with this cleanser, but my sister has claimed that it works pretty well. The consistency is sort of like a creamy gel although it’s listed as just a gel. The smell is great because of the cypress and juniper, but as someone who has dryer skin, I felt this made my face feel pretty dry in the winter months, although I’m curious to see how it works in the summer. People who like this cleanser have normal/combo/oily skin so definitely worth giving it a try if you fall under those categories! If not, it’s still a great value, lasts a long time for its size, and gentle enough to use everyday to exfoliate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1567735727505-W1LPC55OJX2G6YL7RWK2/IndieLee_CoQ10_1.jpg Blog - The Best Way To Try Out Clean Beauty On a Budget - 3. Indie Lee COQ-10 Toner This is hands-down the best toner I’ve tried. I’m not one to notice changes in my skin — seriously, people will be raving about a new product, I’ll try it, and not notice a thing. But with this one, the moment you put it on, I feel my skin eats all of its juices up! A toner is meant to prepare your clean, dry skin for heavier liquids in the skincare routine process, and this does that by drying quickly while making skin still feel refreshingly damp. It seeps into your skin instead of just sitting there for a long time. Out of everything in this kit, I still use only this product because I think the full product size is still affordable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1567735662551-BT7C1Y5NET3NILK03MJR/image.jpeg Blog - The Best Way To Try Out Clean Beauty On a Budget - 4. Ursa Major Recovery Cream Last, but NOT least — hands down. Best moisturizer. I’ve. Ever. Used. If my budget could afford this kick-ass cream, I would use the standard size product everyday. This especially worked for me in the winter months since I have really dry skin then. I was so pleased to feel such intense hydration without any grease from a thick cream — It doesn’t take a while to apply but instead melts into your skin. A little goes a long way with this one, since the cream is so thick and rich. My sister who also has oily skin and prone to acne has loved this recovery cream as well and I’ve noticed her skin get clearer with this as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1567735161403-DFVVENAQCNEZ5FF2Z5TW/8D34BA08-1001-4B2C-96FE-F7C2E4669331.jpg Blog - The Best Way To Try Out Clean Beauty On a Budget - Join a Clean Beauty Lifestyle Your skin will thank you.

Welcome to my first off-campus house that I took the liberty to decorate as if I'm living here as a newly-wed (I'm only living here for one year). Luckily, I've only spent around $200 on it by reusing old furniture from graduated seniors or making trips to 31Bits, Target, and IKEA. When decorating, the most important thing I keep in mind is having three to four colors to draw back on to make my room visually interconnected. I love neutrals and a pop of color, so I stuck to black, white, beige, and red — coincidentally the same color scheme of Burberry!

Dermatologists are split between whether it's good or bad for your skin. But none of us seem to really care either way. Exfoliating is fun. it leaves your skin smooth and removes blackheads. However, I'm never one to advocate damaging your skin (the largest organ on your body — what goes on it, goes into your body!). Since dermatologists are concerned about the abrasiveness and toxicity of exfoliators, the best way to use exfoliators without hurting your body is to use all-natural, non-toxic exfoliators that won't leave any micro-tears. Yes, those DIY sugar scrubs with coffee beans and sugar are natural, but cause microscopic tears in your skin that lead to wrinkles and faster aging in the long-run. Here are 3 facial scrubs you can count on: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1514422090538-BHUQ8MW1PP79LW23XH7Y/16453836.jpg Blog - 3 All-Natural, Vegan Exfoliators That Won't Leave Micro-tears - 1. Acure Brightening Facial Scrub $8. Paraben-free. Pthalate-free. Sulfate-free. Vegan. Cruelty-free. Gluten-free. Biodegradable. Made in the USA. This is the one I currently use and I can always count on this scrub to gently remove by blackheads on my nose. It also reduces some redness and brightens up my skin immediately. Some exfoliators (cough St. Ive's Apricot Scrub cough) leave micro-tears that lead to eventual damaged, wrinkled skin. This product uses organic sea kelp and lemon peel to exfoliate while French green clay cleanses away excess oil. I use Cocokind's Organic Chlorophyll mask right after, and I must say — those two are quite the power couple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1514422485734-W42ZH5R5UE4DH8BPQ6B1/sea-moss-exfoliator_1024x1024.png Blog - 3 All-Natural, Vegan Exfoliators That Won't Leave Micro-tears - 2. Cocokind Sea Moss Exfoliator $17. Non-toxic. Organic. No artificial ingredients. GMO-free. Vegan. Cruelty-free. Fair-trade. Made in the USA. This exfoliator is gentle enough to use 3-4 times per week. It's truly as natural as it gets — made with only 3 ingredients: Organic Irish Moss, Organic Grapeseed Flour, Organic Geranium Oil. It comes in powder form so you have to add water yourself to create the formula. This ensures that no preservatives were put in since liquid products tend to spoil faster. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1559687264745-TI3AKOL3S2H8OMV509KY/image.png.jpeg Blog - 3 All-Natural, Vegan Exfoliators That Won't Leave Micro-tears - 3.

Fair Trade With every purchase you make, there's always a chance someone was exploited for their work to create what you buy. Pact is fair-trade-certified, as workers operate in safe facilities. Their factories, mostly in India, are always sweatshop-free and child-labor-free. Why India and not the US? It makes economic and environmental sense for them to operate where cotton is grown. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1512867560505-UXIDAY3MV7YW5959YXTK/Screen+Shot+2017-12-09+at+7.59.03+PM.png Blog - The Underwear Company That's Better Than Aerie and Victoria's Secret - 2. Sustainable The undergarment and lingerie industry is one of the biggest polluters next to the jean industry. Why? Cultivating cotton through the use of pesticides, dying the material, and washing hurts the environment by adding toxins as well as wasting an enormous amount of water. Pact uses 95% cotton, which eliminates the use of pesticides, dyes, and excessive water waste. They're Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified. GOTS is "the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1512932516628-4CUTGQ8FZLTZN7XX13IP/A44E8413-570F-4E5A-ABC5-7BDD278A3761.JPG Blog - The Underwear Company That's Better Than Aerie and Victoria's Secret - 3. Genuine A lot of greenwashing goes on these days, and it's difficult for even a heavy-researcher like me to discern whether a company is using "ethical fashion" as only a way to market themselves. When I contacted PACT for an exchange for smaller sizes, they replied by telling me that I can keep the thongs I bought in order to reduce carbon footprint (wasting packaging and gas to return), and that they'd rather have me donate them or give them to a friend. How awesome? This showed me that they ensure every little action is in line with their beliefs of making clothes that are better for the world, even if it means skimping on some measly profit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1512932523980-4ZGH0XC3ZPU3IVT7F9VU/AEE94A9F-6BA6-44CB-9B88-2B745ED1A005.JPG Blog - The Underwear Company That's Better Than Aerie and Victoria's Secret - 4. Affordable I know people find ethical clothing to be expensive, which is a huge deterrent, but I got six thongs for $30, which is not much greater in value than Victoria's Secret's 5 for $27 deal. They're currently having a 60% off sale, and if that sale is no longer around by the time you're reading this, try using this referral code for 20% off I find that Victoria Secret and Aerie underwear tear rather easily, which really pushed me to make a switch to a company that values the quality of the process as well as their treatment of workers. Side note: I love how Aerie pushes for body positivity, but if the workers who make your products are being exploited, is that really contributing to positivity? Idk, I'm not about that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1512932701404-KIPJEPFTCFTMQBIZTK6N/whi-nsb-5-1505920673.jpg Blog - The Underwear Company That's Better Than Aerie and Victoria's Secret - 5.

Thrift   You think of thrifting and you imagine run-down gross second-hand clothes that you’re scared to even touch (That's how I feel). But I've learned to love it after thrifting the top and skirt in the outfit pictured here. LTrainVintage Shop in Brooklyn, everyone. The top was $5 and the skirt was $6. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511663889579-V30NHPOQP55V7I6L72JH/whiteturtleneck.jpg Blog - 5 Ways to Shop Ethically on a Budget - 2. Timeless Pieces Are you really wasting any money if you're going to wear it for years to come? I love classics just like a white turtleneck that'll never go out of style. Trends are so easy to spend money on when brands are constantly pitching "new" to you. It's super easy to look fashionable when you're following trends you see on Instagram or Pinterest, but your creativity becomes truly apparent when you can work high-quality invested timeless pieces in different ways for years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511664045488-3K6Y3EGUWGL69Y6MON1B/Screen+Shot+2017-11-25+at+9.40.32+PM.png Blog - 5 Ways to Shop Ethically on a Budget - 3. Essentials I love essential pieces because they can be re-styled into different outfits. I find that when I invest in high-quality essentials, I save a lot more money in the long run because they last for years. A little black dress, a white button-down, a jean jacket — all useful basics that can be worn differently. This jean jacket is from The Reformation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511664360161-CAF6TO7KK7XS1E3W9NDX/clothes.jpg Blog - 5 Ways to Shop Ethically on a Budget - 4. Clothes Swap One of my favorite things to do is swap clothes with my sister or friends. I never have any regrets swapping because if I want to wear it again, I can just ask to borrow. This oversized shirt is a timeless essential I got from my friend, Jenn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511664886526-J3DK3ZHQZFG6MHY93PKA/fullsizeoutput_3b8.jpeg Blog - 5 Ways to Shop Ethically on a Budget - 5. Poshmark & Depop Some of my treasured items have been from Poshmark. Just to name a few: The pictured Leather Suede and Faux Fur Coat, Adam Selman Le Specs (The Last Lolita Pair), Public Desire Black Sock Booties, and Quay Sunglasses. You're probably wondering how possessing these unethical brands can be considered ethical. In my opinion, the purpose of ethical shopping is to reduce pollution and ensure no workers are being taken advantage of, correct? So by buying from Poshmark, it's almost like thrifting. You elongate the lifecycle of a certain garment by making sure it doesn't otherwise end up in the dump while reducing any need for workers to be put to work for the sake of maintaining a demand. If you're looking to buy, a great place is my Poshmark ;) https://www.clairesua.com/blog/2017/11/25/the-soup-korean-mothers-eat-after-giving-birth monthly 0.5 2022-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/f4a0a627-3f33-4a7c-bf9a-06b3d1eb0ca7/Screen+Shot+2022-03-01+at+11.34.01+PM.png Blog - The Soup Korean Women Eat after Giving Birth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.clairesua.com/blog/2017/11/25/the-all-natural-skincare-company-you-need-to-try monthly 0.5 2017-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511659681427-VEGC03WKQBJTN1EZ2DD8/facial-repair-serum_1024x1024.png Blog - The All-Natural, Vegan Skincare Company You Need to Try - 1. Facial Repair Serum This serum brightened my sister's skin as early as the next day. It only contains 3 ingredients — coconut oil, avocado oil, and rosehip oil. Although it states that it's for AM or PM use, I recommend using this to sleep, as the oils can get a bit overwhelming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511659699972-8998JHN7I4KOUHKK52XT/chlorophyll-mask_1024x1024.png Blog - The All-Natural, Vegan Skincare Company You Need to Try - 2. Chlorophyll Mask This mask comes in powder form, which speaks to how Cocokind aims to keep all their products preservative-free. When products come in some type of liquid form, it runs the risk of growing bacteria. That's why companies put in toxic preservatives to fight those bacteria. Unfortunately, those preservatives are just as bad for our health. For this chlorophyll mask, you add the water in yourself, which makes it all the more interesting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511659475994-1X7K4P1W60CH90KOF8B0/mymatcha_1024x10245.png Blog - The All-Natural, Vegan Skincare Company You Need to Try - 3. MyMatcha Stick You know when you're so unbelievably dry during the winter months that a simple chapstick isn't enough? Around your mouth, your hands, your lips — everything is chapped. I love this matcha stick because its intended use is to moisturize all-over. It also helps fights free radicals and alleviate your dark circles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511659857536-KFMJ4V23O006KO6NP8WS/primer-drops-three-colors_1024x1024.png Blog - The All-Natural, Vegan Skincare Company You Need to Try https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511659859701-Q4IU2XU29JILI5YA1UXC/original-lip-balm_1024x1024.png Blog - The All-Natural, Vegan Skincare Company You Need to Try https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511659862098-7707IR8A19ZW3A7GYG72/eye-firming_grande.png Blog - The All-Natural, Vegan Skincare Company You Need to Try https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511659865068-LNGW64UQ2STOS30PSOIV/the-colors-facial-powders_1024x1024.png Blog - The All-Natural, Vegan Skincare Company You Need to Try https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511659867798-61C46N71AWWM49P8DXXA/turmeric-spot-treatment_1024x1024.png Blog - The All-Natural, Vegan Skincare Company You Need to Try https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511659868640-L3D4Z2NQFD6DYG20INEE/matcha-face_1024x1024.png Blog - The All-Natural, Vegan Skincare Company You Need to Try https://www.clairesua.com/blog/cyber-monday monthly 0.5 2017-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59debd7b03596ee7131e4be8/1511646781957-1XX1BUHAL18ESF58J1YV/MAXIMUM_HENRY_WIDE_OVAL_BRASS_BUCKLE_BELT_RED_1.jpg Blog - 5 Cyber Monday Promo Codes You Need to Know for the Weekend - 1.
