Let's Keep This Simple ッ
The start of the simple smiley & an imperfect environmentalist's journey to a better future.
EEEEEEEEEKKK!!!
The happiest of hellos smiley fam! I am so excited to finally take the time to start this newsletter. Although my sustainability journey has been slow, it’s the simplicity of it that I’m eager to share that I think will be beneficial to you all.
Truthfully, my journey started when I stumbled upon this Joe Rogan podcast that changed my life in 2021. The conversation intrigued me to learn more about our global supply chain leading me to find this life-changing book, detailing a personal journey of a prisoner in a labor camp. Between the podcast and book, my understanding and paradigm of the world changed forever, and I became determined to consume more consciously & ethically thereafter.
Long story short, I’m not here to sell you sustainability because it can’t be bought. I’m here to show you how sustainability has ultimately simplified my life, allowing me to have my best day every day.
The beginning of my sustainability journey came with a lot of internal pressure to “do it right” but what does that even mean? (Nothing.) Over time, I learned that true sustainability is an intentional mindset, not something to be snagged off the top shelf. I used to cringe at the word sustainability since I knew how over-used and greenwashed it was but now, I’m on a journey to help others become conscious consumers so they can spend less time consuming and more time living.
The Simple Smiley is here to help you make sustainability in your life not only simple, but well… sustainable. I want to teach you how to implement a sustainable mindset into your life so that you can live your best day ever, every day and not be bogged down by the constant overconsumption (whatever form it may be) that has become our daily lives.
What To Expect:
Sustainability made simple, but with a twist. Becoming a conscious consumer begins with a sustainable mindset followed by ethical action that results in connection. The Simple Smiley is here to help you identify your consumption habits, teach you how to do more with less, and purchase sustainably. People think sustainability and minimalism is living less or going without, when in reality it’s getting more out of what you enjoy.
The most sustainable thing is you & a smile; let’s get started.
