design your intentional life.
It’s all about balance. Whether you’re mindfully experiencing the seasons, caring for your home, organizing your finances in a thoughtful way, planning your next goal, cultivating a gratitude practice, or taking a moment to examine your life via journaling, we are here to help. You can balance your progress with ease, intention, and joy.
Organize Your Kitchen
A simple, clear organizational strategy helps us see how to reduce food waste by buying less food overall and using what do buy after we have it. It has a definite impact on the amount of food we have to throw away.
Make Homemade Vegetable Stock
While you’re cutting up veggies for your meal, take a second to glance skeptically at the contents of your crisper drawer. Is anything still good but getting to the edge? Wash it, chop it, and add it to the stock container in the freezer.
Reduce Plastic in Your Kitchen
Just like tracking your spending or counting your calories, actually looking at what you’re throwing out regularly will let you make the most informed decisions that you can.
Work Toward a Zero Waste Bathroom
We tend to find a configuration and routine in the bathroom and stick to it. We can use those habits to our advantage; once we optimize them, we can just lock in again, and the benefits will compound on their own.
Get a Water Bottle
It takes a plastic bottle at least 450 years to degrade, yet we only recycle 30% of them in the U.S. Ouch.
Reduce Your Mail
Make a list of paper catalogs and flyers you get in the mail, from places you’ve done business with. Check your recycling bin and your credit card history if you need clues to make a comprehensive list.
