My Story

The idea of this blog came at the beginning of 2020 from the desire to learn more about sustainable and conscious living. My professional experience is a mix of Fashion and Medical. I worked in the Fashion industry for a few years in one of the fastest-growing cities globally, Dubai. I’ve seen a lot of fast fashion, on the scenes and behind the scenes. Once I learned the truth behind the garment production and the hardship for workers, mostly women, it made me think. The fashion industry is considered by the UN Conference on Trade and development to be the second most polluting industry in the world after the oil industry.

Did you know:

It takes around 7,500 liters of water to make a single pair of jeans, equivalent to the amount of water the average person drinks over a period of seven years.

That is just one pair of many startling facts to emerge that the cost of staying fashionable is a lot more than the price tag.

Here you will find blogs about my journey and everything I’ve learned during my transition to sustainable fashion and conscious living. I promise I will be as transparent and honest as possible in everything I promote on this blog. Everything that I write will be my own experience that I will share with you. There be nothing in here that I don’t personally use or feel comfortable with within my personal life.

My vision and goal are to inspire the young generation to still be fashionable and healthy by practicing sustainable and conscious living.
