Sustainability is one of the biggest topics right now – for every industry. We’re all becoming more aware of the harm that we’re causing the environment. Documentaries and real-life events are showing us how quickly we need to take proactive steps to save our planet. Sustainability is everywhere you look, from the beauty and fashion industry to getting rid of single use plastic. Gen Z and Millennials are leading the way with sustainability by embracing slow fashion. Our articles go in-depth into everything you need to know about sustainability (it’s sustainability 101!). Our goal is to help you understand why sustainability is so important and how you can make lifestyle changes that are better for you and the planet. Read more in the articles below.
The beauty industry has been undergoing a major change in recent years. The pandemic saw us all wave ‘goodbye’ to a full-face of makeup with apps like TikTok becoming leaders in creating – and ending – beauty trends. Spotting trends early can help you see which products to add to your makeup bag and which viral content to look out for.
Sustainability is one of the major buzzwords in the fashion industry right now. With COP26 having just ended, all eyes are on the fashion industry to do more to cutdown its carbon footprint. While we all know about how the fashion industry is working to reduce its use of plastics, there’s still more that can be done.
Plastic is a problem that we’re all aware of. Everyone is taking strives towards reducing their use of single use plastic. When was the last time you went into a coffee shop and got a plastic straw? Most of us carry around metal water bottles and have ditched plastic containers for glass alternatives.
This guide only highlights 6 of the thousands of Gen-Zers who inspire us everyday. They’re the people we follow on social media and whose journeys we’re privileged to be a part of. These inspiring individuals show that you’re never too young to make a difference and that change more often than not comes from the young.
With the threat of climate change growing every day, we’re all looking for small and proactive steps that we can take to make the world a better place. While we’re all aware of issues like fast fashion and controversial ingredients like palm oil, water is one ingredient that you’re probably overlook. Water is something that most of us takes for granted every day. The ability to go into our kitchen and run a tap, receiving instant water, is virtually unheard of in some parts of the world – even in the 21st century.
The future is here. You may have heard of Forbes’ iconic “30 under 30” or “power lists”. We thought it was time to turn our attention to the next-generation of influencers, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are changing the industry from the inside. These Gen-Zers are fighting everything from the patriarchy to climate change and fast fashion.
When we’re in need of inspiration, we always turn to our favourite influencers. While you might think of influencers as being people trying to sell you a product, they can also be people who advocate for a type of lifestyle. Meet sustainability influencers.
Sustainability is one of the hottest topics in the beauty industry right now. While we often look at our beauty routine as a part of our wellness and self-care routine – giving us an instant mood boost – there’s more to it than meets the eye. The only way we can prevent climate change and create a better future for our planet is by changing our daily routine to become more sustainable.
Every time we click on TikTok or Instagram, there seems to be a new makeup trend that everyone is talking about. After a year in quarantine, we’re all ready to brush away the cobwebs and rediscover the content of our makeup bags. Staying on top – and predicting – the beauty trends for 2021 is a difficult task. We’ve all seen how quickly trends can be born and die under the influence of social media.
We’ve all bought a last-minute gift that we know the person isn’t going to use for long. Whether it’s grabbing a novelty gift or something that will go out of style within a season, we’ve all been guilty of choosing a less than sustainable gift. When you think of how often you’re buying gifts – between Christmas, birthdays, graduations, engagements, baby showers. These are just a few examples of the events where you’re buying someone else a gift. Often, we leave our gift buying to the last-minute and end up regretting it.
If you’re someone with a love for designer goods, you know they can come with a steep price tag. Buying on the preloved market can often save you a pretty penny. You can also find bags that are discontinued and highly sought after. Maybe you missed a bag from Louis Vuitton because you couldn’t afford it at the time, or perhaps you’ve always had your eye on a bag you saw in an episode of Sex and the City. The virtual vintage market is booming, especially after the pandemic. Anyone who is trying to shop more sustainability can tell you that the second-hand market is a gold mind.
Slow fashion is a term we’re hearing a lot of right now. In fact, it’s being thrown around in almost every conversation within the fashion industry. But what actually is slow fashion? Why do we need it, and what’s it’s purpose? This guide tells you everything you need to know (and more!) about slow fashion and the philosophy behind it. To understand what slow fashion is, we first have to look at fast fashion, what it means, and the dangers it poses to society and our planet.
