Hi there.

Welcome to my blog. Where I discuss sustainable habits worth implementing and document my adventures in eco-conscious beauty, style and food.

It's difficult for me to post this, as I have neve

It's difficult for me to post this, as I have never openly shared my battle with eczema before, especially with people that I don't know personally! It's scary for me, partly because I am worried about the judgment, but I believe that normalizing eczema is important. It is becoming more prevalent and more people are trying to avoid using prescribed topical steroid creams due to the nasty side-effects that come with them!

With that being said, these photos show the progression of my topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) that I have been going through since the end of June, which is why I've been a little quiet on here as of lately!

So what is TSW? Well, according to the National Eczema Association, topical corticosteroid withdrawal syndrome is an adverse effect that can result from prolonged, frequent use of moderate to high-potency topical corticosteroids. Individuals using corticosteroids experience swelling, redness, burning, and skin sensitivity usually within 1-2 weeks of stopping the steroid.

I'm hoping to do a update after I meet with my nutritionist and PD in the next few weeks with a update that I will post to the blog as well... We'll see though, since TSW is said to last months to years. Yikes!

I am currently avoiding food sensitivities and sticking to a low histamine diet in hope that doing this will aid the healing process! In the meantime, I will be working on new blog posts as I continue this journey of healing from the inside, out! Thank you! ❤

Hi there! 👋🏻 I've started getting some new f

Hi there! 👋🏻 I've started getting some new followers and figured it would be a good time to introduce myself.
.
I'm a double major in Aquaculture & Fisheries and History (I know, its a unique combo) 😉 I live on the East Coast and have a love for the ocean and its creatures!
.
I've always had a passion for the environment and fashion, which until recently, was a struggle to find common ground between the two. I've discovered so many brands that have started to incorporate more eco-friendly habits, which makes me excited for the future!
.
I have a blog where I explore fashion & beauty and cover some controversial environmental topics such as leather, the dairy industry and even aquaculture! I love to write and share my experiences with like-minded people, so I hope you enjoy! 😁
.
Note: The fish was dried up when we found it. No animals were harmed in the taking of this photo!
