Hey Friends!
Today I am sharing another industry secret that you can easily include in your daily routine, and it will make a BIG difference in your journey to understanding how sustainability can benefit you.  
I'm unpacking news from a recent medical report about a chemical substance called formaldehyde that is still added to textiles used to make our clothes and what you can do to safeguard yourself and your family. I hope this simple hack helps you as much as it's helped me since incorporating this practice in my home a few years ago.
I will continue researching this surprising connection between fashion, wellness, and sustainability. You can expect more insightful topics like this every Tuesday. Don't miss an episode!
Enjoy and share this episode with a friend!

Hi Friend!
In this short episode, I share 3 simple ideas to consider that will help you recognize how simple changes can lead to a greater sense of inner peace.
The funny thing is we want a simpler life--but living a simple and content lifestyle looks different for everyone. What does that look like for you? Could it involve decluttering your physical space, embracing minimalism, simplifying your daily routines, and spending more time in nature or reading?
Ultimately, it is about finding what brings you joy, peace, and true fulfillment in your personal space that aligns with your values and supports your overall well-being. 
Have a Happy 4th! Enjoy!!

Hi Friend!
In this episode, we define the meaning of "slow fashion" and peek into the world of "slow fashion" to uncover five reasons why this growing movement is worth your attention. Breakups are hard mentally, emotionally, and physically. It takes time to get over a bad relationship, and it’s no different regarding cheaply made clothes. But, after listening, you will understand the positive impact of slow fashion and why it’s worth considering in your personal life.
I’m witnessing the popularity of slow fashion's growth start to balance the scales as more and more consumers have grown dissatisfied with fast fashion, looking for a change and seeking more thoughtful choices. This trend signifies a shift towards more sustainable consumption habits and rejecting fast fashion's disposable nature.
Once I decided to stop spending my money on “pretty” clothes designed to fall apart fast—it became easier for me to become a smarter shopper, and so can you. I encourage you to take small steps towards living a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle, and I’m here to help you reach that goal.
Thank you for joining me, and I invite you to tune in to new episodes every Tuesday for more inspiring, informative content that has the potential to change your life.
Enjoy!

Cynthia

Hi Friend!
Do you have a closet full of clothes and still find yourself thinking “I don't have anything to wear” when you’re getting ready to step out and face the world? Are you tired of spending extra time getting dressed when others seem to pull it all together effortlessly?
The truth is, it's not about having a closet full of clothes that you don’t absolutely love wearing—it's more about loving everything you wear. It’s also about this one essential action: getting organized.
In this episode, I lay out 4 actionable steps for you to follow that I encourage you to complete in one weekend. It will help you see your wardrobe closet from a different perspective and allow you to connect in new ways with your clothing. You’ll actually be able to do more with less.  
I hope you can laugh at yourself, turn the music up and have fun “shopping your closet” this weekend. You’ll love the outcome!
I pray this motivates you to do the thing…one step at a time.

Hey Sis!
In today's episode, you will learn a little more about sustainable fashion and its global impact. I share the 5 sustainable fashion personas and how to know which one you are.
As an experienced Sustainable Fashion Designer & Consultant, my mission is to provide you with information to help you make informed decisions and take appropriate actions as a customer.
The 6.5 billion dollars sustainable fashion industry is relatively small compared to fast fashion. Sustainable fashion is sometimes referred to as slow fashion but is growing rapidly as more consumers demand a "cleaner" fashion future that benefits all of us. 
Enjoy life as you live & learn!

Hi Ladies,
In today's show, the topic turns to sustainable fashion and what you never know about yoga pants--a popular wardrobe staple. As a sustainable fashion industry professional, I want you to know that all yoga pants or leggings are not created equal. In fact, some are not good to wear at all. 
The eye-opening information I share about yoga pants is invaluable to your health. Most retailers will never tell you this about this widely popular item they sell in the millions. I explain why the yoga pants you may be wearing could be causing you harm unknowingly, and what you can do to solve the widespread problem. We deal with the issues in this episode, so don't miss it!
Best!
Xo, 
Cynthia

Dear Friends,
I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. NIV 3 John 1:2
We are headed into your kitchen to open a conversation about supplementing your diet with the right vitamins and minerals for optimal health. I believe you will walk away with relevant information that will motivate you to take control of your health in an area that is foundational in getting and staying well. 
We are going to dance through this analogy in a fun way so that you understand the importance of what a good quality supplement has in it and what it can do for your body.
Enjoy!

Cynthia
