Just some time at my local #beach, soaking in the sun and enjoying three layers of #ethicalfashion: an #organiccotton eyelet slip (new) and yellow-bird patterned wrap skirt (5 years old!) from @gudrunsjoden and a #doublecloth @aceandjig duster. Paired with my trusty @vans and a sports bra so I could just shrug the duster off and warm my shoulders.... #ecofashion #fashion #gudrunsjöden #aceandjig #beachtime #pnw #pnwonderland
Love how low-waste my hair-coloring routine is. Just some paper that gets recycled! I use my own washable bowl and comb to apply, and a reusable shower cap while it sits. No worries on what goes into our septic either, henna is just a plant! DIY, inexpensive, and incredible color. There are @lushcosmetics bars for browner colors too (this is my hair in the sun, the day after hennaing, it is def not this bright in person now!). My hair has never been stronger or longer since I switched to #henna after coloring my hair with less toxic (but still they broke my hair) dyes for years. Ask me anything! #hennalove #lushhenna #diyhair #naturalbeauty #redhair #naturalhaircoloring
Found some pretty eggs today in a friend’s #garden! #spring #birdeggs #songbird #birdnest
Pretty excited about @toriamos’ new book, which is described as: A timely and passionate call to action for engaging with our current political moment, from the Grammy-nominated and multiplatinum singer-songwriter and New York Times bestselling author Tori Amos. Since the release of her first, career-defining solo album Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos has been one of the music industry’s most enduring and ingenious artists. From her unnerving depiction of sexual assault in “Me and a Gun” to her post-September 11 album, Scarlet’s Walk, to her latest album, Native Invader, her work has never shied away from intermingling the personal with the political. Amos began playing piano as a teenager for the politically powerful at hotel bars in Washington, DC, during the formative years of the post-Goldwater and then Koch-led Libertarian and Reaganite movements. The story continues to her time as a hungry artist in Los Angeles to the subsequent three decades of her formidable music career. Amos explains how she managed to create meaningful, politically resonant work against patriarchal power structures—and how her proud declarations of feminism and her fight for the marginalized always proved to be her guiding light. She teaches us to engage with intention in this tumultuous global climate and speaks directly to supporters of #MeToo and #TimesUp, as well as young people fighting for their rights and visibility in the world. Filled with compassionate guidance and actionable advice—and using some of the most powerful, political songs in Amos’s canon—this book is for anyone determined to steer the world back in the right direction. #toriamos #resistance #makingchange #feminism #feminist
Today is #internationaldanceday! Wherever you are, and whatever music you love, take a few minutes (or an hour!) and get your #dance on! I’m into it for the good endorphins — and the fun 😀💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻#letsdance #dancing #healthylife #celebratelife
My newest @aceandjig (Clifton top in madras) with my oldest #aceandjig pants! Paired with my grandma’s shawl-collar #mohair sweater that’s....50 years old I think? Feels like her #hugs used to. I love how clothing can bring us closer to people we miss. #sweaterweather #ethicalfashion #ecofashion #ecochick #fairtrade #vintage
Super-cozy today in an @aceandjig Sue sweatshirt in the Beau textile, glasses #madeinfrance by @seeeyewear, and a #handmade vest I had knitted for me by a woman on Etsy who designed the vest pattern and used yarn I sent her (shoutout to @churchmouseyarns!—silk and alpaca!). She then made me the “katniss-style” vest to my measurements. This is one of my favorite pieces because it was made just for me! I’m a pretty warm person so often wearing a whole sweater is just too warm. A good vest over thick-woven cotton is a perfect combo and allows me to keep the heat low (65-66). Saves fossil fuel energy and Cooler indoor temps are also linked with health. I love to have the windows open year-round so I can smell the seasons as they pass 🌱🌿🌾🌻🍃🍂🍁🍄🌬❄️☔️☃️🌧 #ethicalfashion #handknit #aceandjig #ecofashion #cozy #hygge #colorful #fashion #knitwear
Taking a neighborhood walk and relishing the #sunshine—while rocking some #ethicalfashion for the aster daisies of course! Twice resoled @camper boots; #fairtrade #handblockprinted pants from #oldyakbazaar; blouse from @meadows____ and handmade-from-textile-waste coat from @tonledesign! #ecofashion #sunshine #ootd #fashion #redsandpinks #sustainablefashion
There are many difficult feelings happening for all of us, especially now. For years now, I have turned to @tarabrach for her #guidedmeditations and heartfelt (and funny!!) talks. If you have 10 minutes, or an hours, check out one if her free meditations on tarabrach.com (also avail on podcast apps for free). She is inclusive of all religions/spiritualities and none (I am an atheist and I find nothing offensive in her words). If you are feeling anger or heartache right now, try some deep, slow breaths while doing RAIN: “The acronym RAIN is an easy-to-remember tool for practicing mindfulness and compassion using the following four steps: Recognize what is happening; Allow the experience to be there, just as it is; Investigate with interest and care; Nurture with self-compassion. You can take your time and explore RAIN as a stand-alone meditation or move through the steps whenever challenging feelings arise.” #tarabrach #meditation #mindfulness #emotions #love #relax
