Packing Guide for the Everyday Wellness Enthusiast

packed suitcase

Hey there world traveller. Or weekend glamper (no judgement here!)

Are you a wellness enthusiast?  Check this out to determine if you are (hint: if your kitchen is filled with mason jars and you use apple cider vinegar for everything…. you probably are) And if you are, this post is for YOU!

I spent a lot of my 20s on a plane. A lot of living out of a suitcase, a lot of forgetting things at home or packing too much. This list is perfect for those of you looking for what to bring on your next big trip or even just your weekend getaway.  I don’t always bring all of these but usually most of the items below make the cut.  Enjoy Sweet Friends.

Twenty Ways to Celebrate Earth Day

I often find that Earth Day comes and goes each year without much commitment from myself.  Sure, I recycle, I buy local, cook from home, etc, but what Earth Day is supposed to do is ignite some change.  So this year I have decided to plan ahead and make sure I make the most out of this special day for our planet.

Earth Day is held every year on April 22nd.  It originated in 1970 with protests against global practices of dumping wastes, air pollution, factory pollution, diminishing wilderness/wildlife and led to the creation of the Endangered Species Act, Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act at the end of that year.   According to the Earth Day website, “Earth Day is now a global event each year, and we believe that more than 1 billion people in 192 countries now take part in what is the largest civic-focused day of action in the world.”

1 billion people?! Holy Cannoli! That’s a lot of people trying to activate change and I want to be one of them. You too? Here’s how.
