Last night I attended an intimate panel discussion on conscious living with Indie Lee, Cameron Rogers from Freckled Foodie and Abby K. Cannon from Abby’s Food Court. Here are a few key takeaways and some tips I learned about sustainable living and clean beauty:

• first and foremost, you don’t have to dive right in. You can start with one small change and small steps will make a big difference

• there are more than 4,000 chemicals in plastic, including our grab and go coffee cups and the plastic our take out comes in! Something I am definitely going to think about more. One recommendation was to bring your own coffee cup

• You can bring your own bag (e.g. canvas bag) to the grocery store

• Be mindful of waste - make the most of scraps. You can freeze vegetables and make broth, so many small things I’ve never thought of!

• Lastly, while I know Follain tests thousands of products and the ingredients (so amazing! a brand you can trust), I didn’t know if you bring in your finished product bottle to recycle you can get a 10% off discount.

Be sure to follow these amazing women for more tips! I can’t wait to continue to follow their journey and learn more.

Be well xx
