You know what's good at getting paint and primer off your hands? The DIY rose and Meyer lemon salt scrub I made last weekend - I had no idea when I made it that this is what I would regularly be using it for. But it's been a craaaaaazy several weeks with finding what I hoped was my dream home, frantically starting the necessary projects to sell my current home, and then having the dream home fall through. That's the thing about dreams, though, there's always another one around the corner. Either way, self-care has been the name of the game in all my downtime and while there's still paint in my hair and around my nails, the rest of my skin is looking 💫 fresh and fabulous. 💫 Now. Who has tips for how to get paint out of your hair?⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #🌹 #roses #rose #driedflowers #ecofriendlydiy #rethinkwhatyouthrowout #naturalbeauty #chemicalfreeliving #ecofriendlyliving #zerowastegoals #selfcare #skincare #saltscrub
30 Day 5 Minute Litter Pick Up: Day 13 💚 let’s chat about cellophane and plastic bags and why they’re such a PAIN during litter pick ups. 🌿 Cellophane does not fair well out in the elements, it quickly becomes brittle and shreds into hundreds of tiny bits of plastic, which is known as micro-plastic pollution, and they’re virtually impossible to clean up. 🌻 Micro-plastics are now found in table salt, tap water across America, the ocean, oysters, the fish you eat, and the soil. ✨ Skip. The. Bag. ✨ . . . #lovebeatslitter #litter #litterpicking #littersucks #fightplasticpollution #bethechange #plasticsucks #plogging #trashpanda
This is the way I smile at @charlestongoatyoga 🐐 I met @two20nine at the Johns Island Farmers market when I was buying goat cheese one day and he invited me out to the farm. I was totally out of my element, I had a blast, I even milked a goat, I came back for goat yoga. These animals are so loved, the team at @burdencreek_dairy is sweet and passionate. Shop local. Go to your farmers markets. Support small farms. I can’t stress this enough. I’ve been blessed to spend afternoons out at both @filiwestfarms and Burden Creek Dairy, and they were two of favorite days in the last year. . . . #supportsmallfarms #supportsmallfarmers #shoplocal #eatlocal #shopfarmersmarkets #supportyourlocalfarmer #supportfarmersmarket #goats #goatyoga
30 day litter pick up: Day 12. Today was a rough day. There was so much I couldn’t reach. Will you help? . . . #waragainstplastic #cleanourseas #ditchthestraw #plogging #litter #littersucks #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #gogreen #lovebeatslitter #bethechange
It's been a super hectic week and this human is in need of some serious self-care, so I upcycled my Valentine's Day bouquet into a decadent (and super easy!) DIY Rose Meyer Lemon Salt Scrub... much to my boyfriend's dismay. 😉 Whatever, he should expect this sort of behavior from me by now, right?!

Yes, that’s more paint on my hand. Yes, I’m behind in my 30 day 5 minute litter pick up. Why? What’s going on? Oh, lemme tell y’all about this week. Not only did I put in an offer on my dream house, but it was a contingent offer so I had to bust ass to try to get my house together admit running a business and the ongoing negotiations. Then we discovered a simple deck repair was actually a full blown demo 🤯and THEN AFTER ALL OF THAT THE HOUSE FELL THROUGH. 🤦🏻‍♀️ So while I still worked on my own sweet little home today, I also spent time just resting and indulging in some self care. I’ve got to work all weekend. 📸 And while picking up other people’s garbage does sound like a strange idea of fun, you should try it. It’s absolutely cathartic. Bloom where you’re planted, y’all! 🌹Self-care DIY coming up soon. #lovebeatslitter . . . #savethebees #waragainstplastic #cleanourseas #ditchthestraw #plogging #plasticfreeliving #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #sustainability #trashpanda #litter #litterpicking
Happy Valentine’s Day, sweet friends! How you celebrate this day is up to you, but I hope you spread love in this world. And to all species. I spent part of today pulling styrofoam and plastic out of our vulnerable and beautiful marshes and flinging around bee-friendly seeds. It felt amazing. Here’s the thing about these tiny litter pick ups: just 5 minutes of intentional living each day will open your eyes to so many things about this life and help set you on the path of a life well-lives. Happy, grateful, and loved. (Also covered head to toe in paint, don’t look too closely. It’s a long story.) . . . #plogging #waragainstplastic #cleanourseas #ditchthestraw #lovebeatslitter #plasticfreeliving #zerowaste #gogreen #savetheplanet #litterpicking #littersucks #trashpanda #bethechange
Just another day in the neighborhood! Here’s the thing about littering in your neighborhood: you also live here. Clean up after yourself! Things have been slammed around here, personally. I’m behind on both my clean ups and blog posts and trying to live zero waste has been especially challenging this last week. So hey, remember it’s a long journey. Everyone stumbles. It’s ok to take rests. Just don’t litter when you do! . . . #lovebeatslitter #waragainstplastic #cleanourseas #ditchthestraw #plogging #plasticfreeliving #savetheplanet #zerowastegoals #justkeepgoing #bethechange #nevergiveup
My dad always says, “You’re either part of the problem or you’re part of the solution.” Every day I work hard to clean up my lifestyle and create less waste, but cleaning up other people’s litter makes me feel so much more proactive. It’s a deep satisfaction. I can’t fix the problem but I can fix this corner on this beautiful day. Hope you’re enjoying it. . . . #plasticfreeliving #waragainstplastic #cleanourseas #ditchthestraw #plogging #ecofriendly #ecoblogger #lovebeatslitter #litter #littersucks #savetheearth #everydayisearthday
30 Day 5 Litter Pick Up: Day 7 💚 leaving a trail of flower seeds in my wake is sort of the most fun thing ever 🌻 who said litter clean ups couldn’t also be whimsical? Picking up other people’s garbage can definitely come with that “uuuugh” factor that turns everyone off to environmentalism, but when you replace the “uuugh” with something that feels playful and mischievous, it gets a whole lot easier! ☺️ . . . #plasticfreeliving #waragainstplastic #cleanourseas #ditchthestraw #plogging #greenliving #ecoblogger #lovebeatslitter
