Living a sustainable lifestyle is crucial to minimize the impact we have on the environment. The overproduction of clothing is just one way humans have harmed the environment and our world. Through minimalism and sustainability, having only what you need and consuming less can positively change the planet and your life.
1.5 years later and we’re still in a lockdown.. Is this really the solution? How sustainable is it? What will the long term impact be on our economy, community and most importantly mental health?
.
Sharing my thoughts.. What do you think?
.
Here are some points I’d like to highlight in the video:
⚡️We have been living in fear for the past year
⚡️800,000 people die of suicide every year. ☠️ That’s ONE suicide every 40 seconds! (This number is pre-covid!)
⚡️ My nation, Malaysia records an average of 3 suicide cases daily.
⚡️ Suicide is one of the leading cause of deaths in young people. (Yup, that’s our kids, teens & future generation)
⚡️ Anxiety & depression have increased by 50% during Covid!
⚡️ Mental illness is REAL and it is KILLING people. Just because you cannot physically see it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist!
⚡️ If you are struggling, NEVER be ashamed to ask for help! 🏳️🏳️
.
Is what we are doing right now working? Is this the solution? Will we look back years later and wish we have done things differently?

I didn’t know the benefits of Kombucha till now! 😲
What is Kombucha?🍵
Kombucha is a fermented, lightly effervescent, sweetened black or green tea drink commonly consumed for its supposed health benefits. It is packed with a collection of probiotics which aid our digestive system and it also can help with illnesses such as chronic fatigue.
MSC Kombucha is locally made in Penang and they supports local organic farmers for fresh ingredients which they believe could promote a sustainable environment.
Why is Kombucha good for you?
🌺 contains more than 1 billion living probiotics
🌺 Lactobacillus that are beneficial bacteria that actively aid the body’s digestive system
🌺 having poor digestive system often lead to insomnia and chronic fatigue which both can be prevented by drinking MSC Kombucha.

i’ve been on a ghibli marathon lately so i decided to do a little vlog aesthetically inspired by these films. And i think this could be my favourite vlog that I have done to date!
P/s - the book i read on hygge was called 'The Little Book of Hygge - The Danish Way to Live Well'. I absolutely recommend reading this book, will definitely shape your perspective into living more holistically :)

I recently decided to take a 3-5 month trip to Taiwan and because I wanted to stick with my commitment to sustainable fashion, I decided to pack a capsule wardrobe.
This 33-piece wardrobe includes daily wear, clothing for special occasions, outerwear, shoes, workout clothing, and pajamas. I really tried to pack as many versatile pieces as I could while still keeping the weather in mind. Winter in Taiwan ranges with a high of 75°F (24°C) and a low of 55°F (13°C). It’s relatively moderate but because humidity is so high, it can sometimes feel colder than it actually is.
My biggest consideration in deciding what to pack was the different activities that I wanted to participate in. Here are is a try-on of the pieces that I decided to go with!

The first step to building a more sustainable wardrobe is to decrease consumption and to make the most of what you already own. Sustainable fashion has helped me gain an appreciation for shopping my own closet and the joy that creative styling can bring.
Here are 5 tips to help you pair colors, prints, and patterns so that you can make the most of your existing wardrobe.
**Please note that I think all fashion rules are meant to be broken so if these tips don't resonate with you, then feel free to skip them.
***also lol whoops I didn't zip up my dress all the way with that blue outfit. Please forgive me there. 😭
What were some of the tips that you found helpful and what are some of your go-to strategies for pairing mismatched colors or prints/patterns?
