Just a girl at the end of the world. Standing there at the Puye Cliff Dwellings in the crazy wind at the top of the mesa, standing on a cliff still housing the dwellings of a civilization that settled there between 900-1500AD, it'll make you feel pretty small. Simultaneously, though, you can't help but witness the amazing and lasting impact humanity has on our landscape. I started this journey a year ago. I take out my kitchen trash about once a month now, thanks to my lifestyle and dietary changes. My recycling has been cut by two thirds. I go to great lengths to minimize my waste, my impact, to leave no trace. I almost never buy clothes and thinking of ways to streamline my life is a constant chatter in the back of my brain. Will you join me? Share your life changes? Go outside? Slow down? Breathe? And refocus? Come play. This is a beautiful journey.⠀ .⠀ Also. It wouldn't be Compost & Cava if it wasn't another dorky ass photo of me in activewear. 🤓⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #savetheplanet #thisisme #responsibletravel #puye #santafe #newmexico #zerowastejourney #bethechange #onedayatatime #ihavehope
Just my little bee-loving heart geeking out in New Mexico the week before last. Has anyone been to the Santa Fe farmer's market? It's an epic feast for the senses and I'm hoping to set a little me time aside to write about it tonight after the whirlwind that has been my fall - I edited 1,900 photos last week despite my crazy shoot schedule - but either way, make a point to hit up your farmers markets this weekend. Fall at the farmers market is a glorious thing, y'all. . . . #thisisme #santafe #mural #savethebees #responsibletravel #ecoblogger #streetart #secondhandclothing #newmexico
I have, frankly, been working my ass off. I'm tired. I miss sleep. I had two 14 hour days this week. My back and feet are sore from schlepping cameras. But I'm living the dream and couldn't be more grateful to do what I love for a living. I miss blogging, of course, but photography will always be my great love... even when I'm threatening to throw my camera out in the driveway and back over it with my car. Twice. Before running away to join the Amish. On a serious note, even when things are crazy, it's the little moments that carry me through. We just got back from Santa Fe, New Mexico on Sunday, which is one of my favorite places in the world. Right before this photo was taken, Logan and I were hiking through Tent Rocks National Monument when the most terrific and forceful blast of wind ripped through the canyon. We didn't say a word, we both just immediately threw our arms out and let the wind and sand whip around us. It was incredible. I do what I love for a living. But that moment I described IS living, my friends. Don't get the two confused. 💚 . . . #photoglife #photographer #dowhatyoulove #newmexico #tentrocks #candidshot #thisisme #ecoblogger #momjeans #hiking
This little ghosty is still my most recent kitchen triumph. Lately I’ve been on the go and zero waste snacks are a must. I wish I’d known years ago how easy crackers are to make at home!! What are your favorite zero waste snacks?! What do I need to learn how to make next?? . . . #zerowaste #ecoblogger #zerowastefood #gogreen #savetheplanet #halloween #ghost #crackers #snacks #👻 #halloween2018 #halloweenparty

Feeling festive AF over here with these DIY tombstone crackers. Imperfect crackers? Great, they look like even more realistic tombstones and THAT is my sort of sloppy DIY. The best part? You can actually make these without using any plastic packaging, depending on what brands you buy. Happy haunting, lovelies! . . . #ecoblogger #plasticfree #halloween #countingdowntohalloween #imadethis #craftyAF #plasticsucks #slowliving #celebratemore #halloweenfood #tombstones #spooky #nomnomnom
VINTAGE TUPPERWARE! Was this like the Rodan Fields hustle of the 1950s? Can we make vintage Tupperware parties a thing? Loved this bright and festive Tupperware find but more than that I love how every time I go thrifting or antiquing, I discover a delicious little piece of history to come home with me. I'll take that over buying new any day. The joy I get every time I pull out my vintage kitchen treasures to make a meal makes the extra money I spent TOTALLY WORTH IT! Do you have any favorite vintage kitchen or bar finds? I know @acrunchypeach does! Looking for the best places to buy vintage in Jacksonville, Florida?
