I am the definition of a morning person. If you've ever hung out with me in the morning, you know I'm a ball of sunshine. Unfortunately, I am also a historically poor sleeper. I sleep light, it takes me a long time to fall asleep and sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night with an idea and not be able to get back to sleep. (I call this "sleep working" and I am not fond of it!). With all the stresses that come with modern life, I think we can all agree a good night's sleep is hard to come...

Digital minimalism is such a hot topic right now, and I honestly think it was one of the healthiest things to come out of 2020. Most of us spent a lot of time working from home, and we had to get serious about reducing distractions and organizing our digital world. Lately, our team has been really into reorganizing our phones, mostly because Tiktok said it was cool. Marimar is actually the one who started the phone organization trend in our office. One afternoon, in the middle of a warehouse meeting, she happened to unlock her iPhone and we saw her new layout and...

Hair masks are all the rage right now but it’s hard to know what your hair type needs! A protein mask is what you do when your hair has been feeling a little flat or lifeless. It can add shape and shine, and helps to define curls or add volume to straight hair. Protein hair masks are great for healing damage and breakage or preventing frizz. They strengthen your hair for healthy, happy locks. In this blog we share a step by step guide for how to use a protein hair mask and how often you should (and shouldn’t!) mask. I do...

Yep, you read that right. We still make trash! Everyone on our team is pursuing a zero waste lifestyle, and that looks different for every single one of us. We're all at a different point in our waste-reduction journey, and we each have our own perspective, but we have one thing in common: we all still create waste. We have made such a difference by going zero waste, so why are we writing about what we still throw away? Because we think it's an important thing to talk about. So often, zero waste can seem like a competition, but we don't live in a perfect system, so none of us can be 100% zero...

The zero waste lifestyle is all about simplifying your life by reducing your waste.  It’s a way to be kinder to the planet and your body through what you do, eat, buy, wear, and use everyday. Don't be intimidated by the word "zero" - it's more of a guiding ideal than a realistic end-point. This lifestyle doesn’t happen overnight, but it can start with a few simple changes. These are our top tips for getting closer to zero waste. One thing at a time To begin your zero waste journey, start by going room by room and analyzing the waste you're creating in your own...

I have always had hair that's more wavy than curly and that behaves differently from one day to the next. Once I figured out a routine in college, I stuck to it like a religion. But I hated going through all those plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles and using mousse or texture sprays in aerosol. First I made the switch to products with more natural ingredients to be Earth-friendly, but the packaging still felt excessive. When I went zero waste in 2016, I started exploring all the low waste curl products to see what worked for my hair. What I didn't expect is to get better curl results...
