Natural, nearly zero waste hand wash you can make in just five minutes? Yes, it's possible — and it's so easy you'll be wondering why you haven't tried it before! In fact, it takes less time to make this hand wash than it does to go out to the store to buy hand wash.
Slow fashion is ... well ... slow. What does this mean for us as consumers of slow fashion? For starters, it means that we don't have to feel pressured to keep up with the weekly " fashion trends."

Clothing made out of wood? You bet! Lyocell — commonly known as Tencel — is a cellulose-based fiber derived from dissolving wood pulp. A member of the Rayon family, this sustainable man-made fiber has a laundry list of benefits. For starters, lyocell is impeccably soft, breathable, lightweight, and you guessed it ... comfortable. It's safe to say this lovely fiber has quickly become one of my favorites.
