I Live in Shades

ImageMarch 16, 2015 Raw Fashion Blog5 Comments

Hello all! The weather is finally in the positives here in Saskatoon, so it seems like Spring is on the way. However the question is, when will I ever transition from my black and white wardrobe into a cheerful spring wardrobe? I will not give any promises!

Sweater: Vero Moda (similar)
Skirt: Ark & Co.
Purse: Deux Lux
Shoes: Call it Spring

xoxo,
– Tiara

Self Care Sunday 🌹 I was gifted this Rosey Posey Clay Mask from @ashandthornherbals and it has quickly become a favourite. This clay mask is suitable for all skin types and works really well on my tricky skin (I struggle with acne, cystic acne, eczema, psoriasis, oily and dry patches). —— The Rosey Posey Clay Mask has: -Kaolin Clay (gently exfoliates & deep cleans) -Diatomaceous Earth (strengthens skin & reduces wrinkles) -Organic Rose Petals (helps skin maintain moisture) -Wild Yarrow (anti-inflammatory) -Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil (rich in antioxidants) —— To apply this clay mask, I make tea and mix it in with the mask to create a paste. I also always add local honey because honey does miracles for my skin. I mix everything using a wooden toothpick. This time around, I chose to make hibiscus tea to add to the mask. I purchased the hibiscus tea in bulk from @bulkbasket. I chose hibiscus tea because hibiscus has natural acids that can break down dead skin, exfoliate skin, increase cell turnover, and aid with controlling oily skin and acne. I store the left over hibiscus tea in the fridge and use it as an ingredient in my homemade toner. I let the clay mask dry on my face, then I wet my face in circular motions. I use a damp face cloth to remove whatever wasn’t initially rinsed off so I can save water. I have also been using this clay mask as a spot treatment on acne. My face always feels so smooth and refreshed after this mask! There is a wait list for the Rosey Posey Clay Mask as @ashandthornherbals is waiting on a sustainably-harvested batch of rose petals from a farmer! You can still place an order and when they are made they will be sent to you! Feel free to use the code “Clean Beauty” for 10% off all @ashandthornherbals products! Ash and Thorn products are made from quality herbs and natural ingredients which are sourced locally, ethically and sustainably. Ash and Thorn products and ingredients are never tested on animals. I’ve been using their products for years now and I am very impressed at the quality of their products. This is a brand I am very proud to support!

When I’m not accessorizing my secondhand outfits with vintage jewelry, I accessorize with local or sustainable jewelry instead. Luckily, @alaunawhelan creates both local & sustainable jewelry options and they are beyond beautiful. She gifted me with this stunning necklace and I haven’t taken it off since. Alauna finds her inspiration in nature and has clarified her journey through understanding how connected we are with Mother Nature. She has intertwined natural elements into all that she creates. Here I am wearing the Security, Earth Necklace. The earth element represents security through grounding, strength & growth. This necklace is handcrafted using recycled fine silver. It has a red garnet gemstone, which is a stone of passion and love. It is an energizing and regenerative stone and aids in awareness. I have an affinity for jewelry that is unique and intricate. I also love supporting brands that handcraft their items, which means that no two items are the same. I love the usage of recycled fine silver and I can feel good about supporting jewelry that is not only timeless, but will last a lifetime as well.

Here’s most of my reusable (glass or tin) containers that I’ve saved over the years from my facial products, vitamins, food & body products. I will never throw away something that still functions. Most containers these days are made of plastic, which is problematic. These plastics are usually difficult or impossible to recycle, if recycled at all. Plastic will never break down, it will only break up into smaller and smaller pieces, negatively impacting and contaminating each level of the food web. Let’s not forget that we are near the top of the food web, so we will receive the most concentrated amounts of dioxins & toxins that bioaccumulate in our food. About 80% of ocean pollution comes from packaging. Purchasing our products in reusable and refillable containers introduces many benefits: 1. it stops our throwaway culture in its tracks. Less trash: healthier environment, healthier people. It’s simple! 2. reusable containers can be continually refilled or reused. If for some reason they break or get damaged, they can be efficiently recycled (also, glass and stainless steel do not leach harmful chemicals into the products they hold – meaning you are exposed to less toxins)! Did you ever think about all of the non-renewable resources go into creating plastic and single-use packaging? They are called non-renewable resources for a reason & we are using these resources up way too quickly to maintain an efficient supply for future generations. Being environmentally responsible may seem overwhelming, however it is actually very easy to make multiple & necessary switches that will result in a positive impact! Avoid products packaged in plastic where you can and invest in products with reusable containers. I can reuse these containers for DIY projects, which I can either keep for myself or give away as gifts. I can use them to reduce the need for plastic in the kitchen & fridge. I can use them to put my bulk beauty purchases in. I can give them away to others who may not have reusable containers. The list goes on and on! Most of the basic ingredients required for DIY recipes can be purchased at @dadsorganicmarket_saskatoon or @soulfoodsgrocer or @bulkbasket

I consider myself very lucky to be able to know, support and share local companies who are doing their part in providing more natural and sustainable products. This month I will be posting about several local companies with absolutely amazing products...the gift-giving season is approaching! The founder of Ash & Thorn, Ninetta (Nina), shares my love for the Boreal forest. She is a herbalist who is passionate about the earth. She focuses on creating products that use ethically sourced ingredients and only uses responsibly wild-crafted and cultivated ingredients, as well as local and organic ingredients when they are available. Her products are created in small batches, which ensures quality, integrity and intention. I have been using @ashandthornherbals products for years, as they are sold at @greentreebeauty, a place I thoroughly enjoy supporting. I am very familiar with many of her wonderful products and I am excited to be sharing a little bit more about each of the products I’ve used over the next few weeks. Stay tuned! If you happen to take a little look at her page and find something you’d love to try, feel free to use the code “Clean Beauty” for 10% off her products🌿💚

The night before Halloween is upon us 🎃 Here is a Ritual To Reclaim Your Energy from The Modern Witchcraft Spell Book by Skye Alexander: “Best time to perform the spell: at the end of the day, before going to sleep Instructions: sit in a comfortable chair and close your eyes. Start breathing slowly and deeply. Begin recalling all the people you encountered and all the incidents that occurred during the day, one at a time. Turn your head to the left and remember something that happened in which you participated in some way. Inhale as you revisit the thoughts and feelings you had, as well as the actions that took place. Then turn your head to the right and exhale, releasing the experience with your breath. Continue doing this until you’ve recapped every event of the day, from beginning to end, the little things as well as the big ones. Feel yourself relaxing and gaining strength with each memory you cast out.” Perfect for getting some sleep in before the Witching Hour 🧹 My layered necklaces are from @elizabethlynjewelry, feel free to use the code RAWFASHIONBLOG15 for 15% off!

Doing some bulk shopping today! I purchase all my shampoo, conditioner, lotion, laundry detergent, hand soap, dish soap, & cleaning vinegar (among other things) in bulk from @bulkbasket here in Saskatoon! This helps me to cut down on unnecessary packaging. This reduces the amount of resources used & decreases the amount of garbage I send to the landfill. @bulkbasket also only offers natural & plant based bulk options which means I am not only taking care of the planet, I am also taking care of my health! Have you purchased items in bulk before? Do you have any questions?

I have Stage 4 Endometriosis. This chronic disease has no cure. I pride myself as an activist - an environmental activist, a woman’s rights activist & woman’s health activist. I am an activist because I am deeply passionate about these topics, but also because certain stigmas or ideas regarding these topics need to be addressed and changed. There is so much misinformation spread about these topics that activists are needed to spread the truth to make positive changes in society. However, it is difficult when disabled people, such as Endometriosis Warriors, have to constantly be activists for themselves. This is why I am so thankful that caring and creative people like Amber help us to raise awareness. Today the focus of this post is Endometriosis Awareness. Amber of @sewyouliketostitch hand embroidered these beautiful pieces. She has hand embroidered barbed wire, intertwined with dark flowers. Her work is intricate and the messages she spreads through her work is for us to end the stigmas and stop shaming our bodies and our genitals, & for overall body positivity. Endometriosis occurs in individuals with a female reproductive system, which is depicted here in embroidery. Endometriosis is not a disease of the uterus, it is a whole-body disease This is a beautiful representation and reminder of how people with Endometriosis constantly struggle and fight against their own pain and body. People with Endometriosis often start to hate their bodies and all the changes & hardships that this disease brings us. However, like it is symbolized in this embroidery, our pain is not the only aspect of our lives - although it does mute the bright colours that we used to have. We still find the flowers or the beauty, however faded they might be, in our bodies and remember the strength we have to keep going. Endometriosis warriors are so much stronger than we think we are. It is a lot easier to live with a chronic disease when you accept it, see it for what it is, and love yourself despite it.

Check out what comes out of my #GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag from @stopmicrowaste 🐠 Each time a garment made from synthetic material is washed, it releases thousands of tiny plastic microfibres which make their way into our rivers & oceans because no treatment plant can remove them from the water due to their size. These plastic microfibres do what plastic does best, concentrate pervasive bacteria and pollutants which cause a severe health issue for plants, animals & humans. There are now synthetic microfibres in tap & bottled water, food, fish, and rain water. This washing bag filters out all the microfibres that are released during the washing process. The fibres can be collected and thrown away, so that they never make their way into the marine ecosystem. The bag itself does not lose any fibres and extends the lifetime of your clothing. All synthetic fibres collect around the zipper corners and need to be removed and thrown into the garbage. I urge you all to check clothing tags before you purchase clothing and avoid all synthetic materials when possible. Be critical towards misleading companies and greenwashing. If clothing is made from recycled plastic, it is NOT better for the environment, in fact it is way worse as recycled plastic decreases in quality, making it weaker and prone to losing even more microfibres. No clothing made from synthetics is sustainable or good for the environment, no matter how convincing the company write-up is. #SyntheticsAreNotSustainable We are the last generation that can make a change before it’s actually too late. Changes like purchasing clothing made only from natural materials and washing all synthetics in the GuppyFriend bag WILL make a positive difference. This needs to happen, we need to take responsibility. #wasteLESS
