Wear it Wednesday | 2021 Dressember Wrap-Up
Dressember 2021, celebrates my 8th year participating in Dressember. What began, for me at least as a way to connect with people in 2014 after a move to a new state where I knew no one has become a winter tradition. My goal this year was to raise $800, I’m grateful to my friends and [...]
Wear it Wednesday | Dressember Accessories for Cold Climates
I've been a Dressember participant since 2014. This means some of my experience with Dressember was in the warm and mild winter weather of Central California.

Wear it Wednesday | Faith, Fashion, and Creation Care
Creation Care ought be innate to being Christian, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Choosing to care for the earth and living being mindful is seen as hippie and defiantly not mainstream. Over the years, I’ve found small ways to be more mindful, minimize waste, and reduce our energy consumption. Being mindful begins [...]
