Street Style Platform - Fashion Inspiration

Hey! I’d like to add in that Cotton On is an amazing brand that sells less expensive tote bags (and other low waste items) and all of their proceeds go to helping children in lower income countries get quality education!

My Favorite Zero-Waste Swaps

Metal/Steel/Glass Straws!!!- As everyone knows, straws impact the environment in a very negative way, so why not make the change? Plus, they’re fairly cheap! 

Cloth Produce Bags- Why take one plastic bag just to wrap up a few veggies or fruits? Cloth Produce Bags are a one time investment, and are way more convenient than grabbing the plastic bag! 

Re-Usable Grocery Bags- These are not the cheapest things in the world, but you can get a pack of three off of Amazon.com for around $30, and again, it’s a one time investment, and one that is way more convenient than making the people at check-out put everything in multiple plastic bags.

Reusable “Ziplock” Bags- Perfect for freezing fruit in the freezer, putting certain things in the fridge, taking snacks to school, and for storing your other perishable items! Another plus to these- They’re cheap as hell most of the time!

Metal or Steel Water Bottles- Pretty much everyone has these in their cabinets. There is no reason for all the plastic bottle that are being thrown away everyday, when the Reusable Water Bottles will keep your drink cold/hot for hours at a time, where as plastic will keep your drink cold for a good 1-2 hours? Cut down on all the plastic making it’s way out into the landfills! 

BUYING THINGS IN BULK!!!- This has to be a favorite within the zero-waste community! When you buy things, such as almond butter, pasta sauce, or anything in a glass jar..keep the jar!! You can bring your jars to most health foods stores or most any grocery stores in general and you can buy your items in bulk! None of all that extra waste! Just what you plan on using!

Bento Boxes/ Non-Plastic Lunch Box- These are a one time investment also! There is absolutely no reason that you should be eating out of PLASTIC containers that you will eventually throw away, these are so much more easier to clean than plastic is, and it is much better for the environment.

Portable Silver Ware!- There is not a lot to say about this one. Ditch the plastic forks and spoons, instead, take these! 

Hope you enjoyed my Zero-Waste Master Post :) I personally love all of these items, they have made such a difference with my life and how conscious I am of how I consume. 

I made my first zero waste switch today!

I bought a shampoo bar from Lush Cosmetics in Soak n’ Float which is honey based to lock in moisture

I highly recommend these to my fellow witches! You get between 80-100 washes out of a single bar and there’s no plastic to throw away! Best of all you can get a bar that is made of ingredients to correspond with your intentions or spells such as lemon, seaweed and sea salt, rose etc.

You can scrub the bar straight onto your hair or lather it in your hands first, and they smell amazing!!

I figured why worship nature while I continue to damage it with harmful plastic?? I’m going to be making more swaps in the future so stay tuned!!

Our hextech dream….

You don't become a poet. The poems find you because you are one.

- Sakshi Narula

when i say "romanticise the ordinary" i don't mean "hide all aspects of your life that do not fit under some kind of aesthetic" but rather "strive to find beauty in all the little things because i promise you, happiness can be found everywhere"

already seeing “actually bernie isn’t perfect so don’t vote for him!! no i will not provide an alternative just don’t vote for bernie he isn’t good enough” posts and like…did you people not learn from last time?

no, bernie is not the perfect candidate! there is no perfect candidate! but the alternative is DONALD TRUMP! like, do you want a president who will probably do some bad things or a dictator who will continue to do literally everything in his power to cause as much suffering and death as he possibly can?

all less-than-ideal politicians are not equal! vote bernie!

I genuinely wonder if people realize how many projects get abandoned because the readership "wasn't there", when in reality, the readership just stayed silent. It's a big thing in trad pub that book series get discontinued because readers pirate the books or wait until the series is finished to buy a copy, leading the publisher to think that nobody actually wants the book enough to continue the series, but it happens with indie creators too.

I've discontinued a lot of free, online series because it's not worth putting 3-5 hours a week into posting a project for no readers. Sometimes I finish the series for me but just never post it again, other times I don't finish it at all because it feels more worthwhile to put my time into other things. Sometimes I hear from readers who are sad or upset that I didn't finish something they were liking, but the *reason* it never got finished is because I didn't know anyone liked it. If you like something, tell the creator, tell your friends, make some noise about it. If you would be sad if a story never finished, make that interest known because one of my biggest considerations before discontinuing a series is "will people miss this? Will I be letting people down" and 9/10 times, I come to the conclusion of "no, it doesn't even seem like anyone's reading this" only to learn after I've moved on that apparently someone was.

trying so hard to be like optimistic and “there’s somebody for everybody” but fucking 24 years old and having one relationship that we technically never even defined?! and I keep getting rejected. it gives like a “what truly is fucking wrong with me” energy. because literally what the FUCK is wrong with me. my anxiety is saying “you’re unlovable” and I don’t really have a way to deny that. tired and lonely.

Here’s why cotton handkerchiefs are better than tissues and we should bring them back:

- you can embroider them - you can wave them from the plaftorm as your lover departs in a train for a long journey - reusable, zero waste - you can dramatically dab your eyes with them to signify that you’re upset - you can pass them on to your grandchildren
