As we gear up for year two of Tmrw Tday in Negril, Jamaica, and today being Earth Day, I am reflecting on last year’s movie screening.  The film A Plastic Ocean, was screened at the festival, and has since had a huge impact on me.  If you didn’t read my blog, Peek Under the Ocean, you should.  The impact and effects of plastic waste on our planet and sea life is dire. I have noticed that over the past year both my husband and I have become very conscious about our consumption of plastic.  Saying no to plastic bags, straws, only using paper plates and cups for events, even supplying my [ Read more ]

  Anytime I come across a business or a brand with a clear vision to help heal and clean up the world, I am so drawn to them.  That is exactly what happened when I found the, Chic Made Consciously (CMC), booth at a festival last summer and met  beautiful goddess named, Cassandra, at a festival this summer.  Her custom hand made designs come from Bali, Indonesia from an artisan who passionately transforms waste on the island.

My previous winter jacket was a Canada Goose I [ Read more ]

Time can be such a funny thing.  On one hand it can seem to drag on, but in the same instance, be passing in the blink of an eye… like 2017 is almost over!  It’s so strange for me to think that one year ago today I was in Rishikesh, India fully submersed in my yoga teacher training (YTT) with my beautiful classmates.  I was at the start of my six month leave of absence from my 12 year government job.  It still boggles my mind that it’s been over a year since I’ve sat at that desk…. like WOAH!  I can’t help but smile at the woman in that picture above, sitting in front of the [ Read more ]
