I woke up this morning with a smile on my face because it is Earth Day! I love appreciating the planet we are on and I just wanted to share my love for it.
I have outlined some tips on how to celebrate Earth Day here.

Black Sustainable Beauty Gurus To Follow Right Now
With most sustainable beauty bloggers and gurus being white women, it is refreshing to see black sustainable beauty gurus out here making a difference. Here are my top picks for blogs and accounts to follow to get more ideas about promoting your own wellness while incorporating sustainability into your life.
Juices + Berries
Juices + Berries is an amazing blog by Jordan focusing around natural hair and self care. She has everything from a sustainable natural hair mask to self care tips for black women. I love this blog and her Instagram as she always encouraging others to live their best life. I really love how she is not shy talking about any topic in wellness including sexual health and wellness and gut health.
Carron Coleman
Carron Coleman‘s blog is about her natural living lifestyle while promoting a non-toxic approach to your products. She is an amazing advocate for “clean beauty” and creates content specifically for black women. She also doesn’t shy away from difficult topics such as her fibroids, found commonly among black women.
Kaya Journey
Kaya Journey’s YouTube channel is full of green beauty tutorials. She is an avid plant lover as she has videos on repotting houseplants and how to grow your houseplants. She has beauty tutorials and unboxings as well on her channel. She hasn’t posted in a bit but I am hoping she will get the much needed boost soon to keep creating amazing content!
Happy Earth Week: Here’s what you can do
During these strange times it is still important to remember that it is Earth Week with Earth day coming up on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2020. And though we can’t physically go out and do the things we normally do, here are some things you can do from your home for this Earth week.
Attend a digital strike
At least for New York, there are plans of a digital strike occurring to demand that our leaders support a Green New Deal, funding for front line communities, and a just transition to 100% renewable energy. More information found here.
Creatively Compost
There are many ways to compost even in a small studio apartment like mine. You can look up composting centers and facilities nearby if you don’t have your own to bring it when it is full!
Have a plant based meal for a day or once per week
I completely understand that everyone can’t go plant based overnight but even substituting one meal a day or even during your week and just being mindful lowers your carbon footprint.
Reduce your own plastic waste
Do a plastic audit of yourself and limit your own plastic waste. Though unavoidable, there are several items to replace common plastic items such as using beeswax wrap instead of plastic wrap, buying in bulk to avoid plastic packaging, and using reusable pens.
