If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll recognize this little beauty. This is the mint carved hanging planter from a company called Unurth – an artisan home decor company started by an creative named Jenn Lamb. It’s handmade, and has all sorts of little quirks about it. I love...
So, packaging can be a problem. We all know that. And when I’m choosing “convenience foods”- a coffee, a clamshell of pre-washed lettuce – I cringe a little bit. Gah. This is just going to go right into the recycling bin after I use my lazy-lady products. The...
