I get questions all the time about what I actually eat in a day—especially as someone who eats mostly plant-based but still includes fish and seafood in her meals. I’m a pescatarian (and my husband eats meat), so our kitchen is all about balance, sustainability, and realistic routines.

Whether you’re pesc-curious, looking for new meal inspo, or just trying to eat more mindfully without spending a fortune—this post is for you. Here’s what a real day of eating looks like in our house: cozy, simple, and nothing too perfect.

I’m going to be real with you: I am not the kind of person who wakes up at 5AM, drinks celery juice, journals for 3 hours, and runs a half marathon before 9AM.

But I am someone who loves the quiet magic of a slow, intentional morning. A morning that makes space for me—before the noise of the world rolls in.

If you’ve ever wanted a reset button or craved a softer start to your day, here are 7 mindful morning habits that have made a massive difference in how I feel, move, and show up—for myself and the planet.

Switching to more sustainable products doesn’t have to be expensive, aesthetic, or overwhelming. In fact, some of the best eco swaps I’ve made in the past few years have actually saved me money—and made my routines a lot easier, too.

So if you’ve been wondering where to start with sustainable living (or which trendy swaps are actually worth it), this post is for you. Here are my go-to, budget-friendly eco swaps that are easy to make, feel good to use, and don’t require a whole lifestyle overhaul.

💸 Spoiler: You don’t need a whole cart of “green” products to start living more sustainably. Start with what you already have—and swap out as you go.

We’ve all been there: you see a product with soft green packaging and words like “eco,” “natural,” or “clean” printed on the front… and your hopeful heart thinks, “Yes! A sustainable option!” But not all that glitters is green.

In a world where marketing buzzwords can easily cloud reality, learning to spot greenwashing is a powerful way to become a more conscious, confident consumer. These 7 red flags are things I personally look out for when shopping—and they’ve saved me from wasting money on products that weren’t as planet-friendly as they claimed.

There’s something liberating about realizing you don’t have to keep up with the latest hauls, gadgets, or impulse buys—especially in your 20s, when you're figuring out your values, your style, and your spending habits. In my own journey toward living more mindfully (for my brain, budget, and the planet), I started paying attention to the things I was buying… and the things I wasn’t.
