Sustainable & Ethical Jewelry from Arlokea
I was gifted this pair of earrings from Arlokea in return for content. All opinions are my own. I often talk about the impact our clothes and purchases have on this planet.

Self-Love
I’ve talked about self-care and self-talk in the past but self-love is different. It harnesses both self-care and self-talk into a perspective that views oneself as loved and valuable outside the cultural means of success and value. So before we talk about self-love & how to self-love, let’s backtrack to self-care and self-talk and how [...]

In January 2020, I was talking with a friend and she mentioned that they were planning to rent out the second floor of their home. At the time, we were just beginning a new lease at our apartment, we usually signed 12-18 month-long leases because honestly, it was the only way we could afford to [...]

WAMA’s fabric is dyed in [...]
