Central Grazing Company

Did you know we only have about 60 years left of topsoil? If you aren’t familiar with it, topsoil is the layer of soil containing the greatest concentration of nutrients, organic matter, and microorganisms. Regenerative agriculture is one of the only ways to effectively restore the health of our depleted soil.

Central Grazing Company is surrounded by land with depleted soils. It is working on restoring its health through holistic management of its flocks. In this system, animals mimic the wild, and through their grazing and stomping, carbon is reintroduced into the soil, restoring health.

To learn more about regenerative agriculture, visit Kiss the Ground and my blogger friend, Holly Rose, who has several articles on soil health and regeneration.

Reasons to Love Central Grazing Company

Fashion that Regenerates: Handbags that help balance the carbon cycle? Yes, please! You hear very little about your clothing and accessories benefitting the planet. This is the future of fashion.

Traceable Supply Chain: It is rare to know exactly where the leather in our shoes, handbags, etc., comes from. Central Grazing Company has a closed-loop fiber production process and uses its livestock byproduct to create luxury handbags. Plus, it uses veggie tanning and natural dyeing to keep toxic chemicals away.

The Quality: This is one of those lifetime handbags. I'm sure, if I take good care of it, I can pass it down to the next generation. You can tell a lot of thought, time, and care went into making it.

What I’m Using

The Meg: This bag is gorgeous. I've never owned anything so soft and durable. Lambskin is finer-grained and lighter-weight than cow's, but it is just as strong and has a silky, buttery feel. The design is timeless, and you can find it in three different colors—all practical and beautiful shades. You can even choose from full leather or leather and suede. I have the Olive in full leather, and the color is unique to my closet, but it goes with anything!

Where to Purchase

You can find the beautiful Meg online - here - and don’t forget to follow Central Grazing Company on Instagram to learn more about soil regeneration!

WAMA Underwear

Do you remember the hemp underwear on my blog last year? The hipster undies I wore throughout my pregnancy now have a sister bikini!

This brand is for both men and women, so everyone keep reading ;)

Reasons to Love WAMA Underwear

The Many Benefits of Hemp: Besides the actual plant using less water, space & pesticides, there are many natural health benefits of hemp, too. Hemp is anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and has anti-odor properties. Plus - did you know it requires HALF the amount of water used to grow cotton?! It makes sense for us to use this fiber more often.

Comfortable and Wears Well with Time: Because of hemp’s moisture-wicking properties, these undies are breathable and comfortable. Hemp is also resistant to mold and UV light and retains color better than cotton. I’ve washed my hipster pair repeatedly, and they are a great pair of underwear!!!

The Packs: You can now purchase several pairs of WAMA underwear at once and save money while doing so! Choose from 3, 6, or 10 in either the hemp bikini or hipster styles. Men can do the same in boxer briefs and trunks.

Bikini Style 10 Pack: Never feel rushed to do laundry again when you get yourself a pack of ten WAMA bikinis. They are just as soft and comfy as the hipsters, but I’m lovin’ this fit!! Plus, they come with a pouch bag to keep them all together.

Where to Purchase

You can find the entire collection of WAMA Underwear online here. Remember to shop their packs to save money!

Charmed by a Cause

Since my Valentine’s Day post featuring this ethical jewelry brand, I’ve been wearing the Multi Heart Band Ring almost daily. It looks lovely on its own, but it’s also been great for stacking with my other silver pieces! As the name says, these pieces indeed are charming, and I’m always happy to add another to my collection <3 

Reasons to Love Charmed by a Cause & Their Cause Partners

As you may remember from last month’s post, Charmed by a Cause pieces are ethically made in NYC from 100% recycled 14kt gold, sterling silver, ethically sourced natural stones & reclaimed or lab-grown diamonds. Their prices are pretty affordable since they sell direct-to-consumer and can avoid those markup fees. Plus, when you shop their jewelry, each piece will show precisely how much money is given to your Cause Partner of choice. 

With each purchase, 20% of sales go to one of these partners: 

American Foundation for Suicide Prevention: A voluntary health organization giving those affected by

suicide a nationwide community to take action against this leading cause of death. 

Covenant House: A haven sheltering and caring for homeless and trafficked youth in 31 cities across six countries.

Woodstock Farm Sanctuary: An organization rescuing farmed animals and giving them care & sanctuary, as well as advocating for animal rights.

What I’m Wearing

Love Key Pendant: “Love Opens All Doors.” This is a gentle reminder always to keep an open heart, which is something I need a lot these days! I’ve been struggling to find a balance between my new role as mama and entrepreneur, which has distracted me from the rest of the world. Not feeling as if I am allowed to be upset {because I do have a good life} has blocked me up. I think an open heart enables you to feel everything - even the sadness - to grow because we all have struggles, no matter the circumstances. It’s also about loving yourself and giving the best of your love to others. I genuinely enjoy this necklace & all that it represents for me. You can find it in Recycled Sterling Silver, 14K Yellow, or White Gold.

Yala

I have a nice little collection from Yala these days! You may remember seeing them on the blog last March - that Cybill Fleece Wrap is exceptionally comfortable, and the organic cotton pieces have been convenient in my new role as Mama.

Reasons to Love Yala

Everyday basics: Yala will most likely have any type of basic you need—from leggings to staple dresses. Plus, most designs come in several colors, and they even throw in a few prints here and there. 

Comfortable for busy women: I know most of you reading this have busy, hectic schedules. You probably don’t have enough time to focus on your wardrobe. Most of us want to be comfy while looking put together. I think Yala does a fantastic job merging the two! 

Great fabrics: I have loved how my Yala pieces have held up wear after wear, wash after wash. Most of my pieces are of organic cotton or recycled poly, and I’ve been very impressed with how well they sustain and how comfortable they continue to be.

What I’m Wearing

Havana Dress: I got this dress after Elliott was born last spring, but I haven’t gotten a good photo yet. We went to Big Talbot Island this past week, and it was the perfect backdrop for this beauty. The Havana is made from 100% organic cotton and comes in several colors {black - pictured here, navy, coral, and blush}. Like all Yala pieces, it is made in the USA!
