Would you stay if she promised to you Heaven?

Here is my 2017 Halloween costume – a dead bride. I could not resist, I love dressing up. My entire outfit is thrifted vintage items, or made from up-cycled materials that I had sitting around the house. I love this wedding dress so much that I might actually get married in it!

Earth Day Announcement!🌳 —— This upcoming weekend, the Saskatchewan Environmental Society hosts the province’s largest Living Green Expo 🍃 I am very honoured and excited to announce that I was asked to speak at this expo about true sustainable fashion!!! —— Not only have I studied sustainability for the past 5 years, I have also been deeply immersed in studying the connections that the fashion industry has on the environment and all the impacts on soil, plants, wildlife and humans. —— Join me, if you can, on Sunday April 28th at 1pm on the Expo Main Stage as I talk about sustainable natural fibres, how devastating synthetics are, how recycled plastic should never be used for clothing, second hand purchases, and the ethnocentrism regarding some recent clothing trends! Admittedly, public speaking is my worst nightmare and biggest fear but I’ll try to smile and work my way through it! Hope to see you there! —— This dress was thrifted from @valuevillage_thrift and it is made from cotton and hemp 💚 this market string bag is made from organic cotton (and holds organic 🍏) & my leather belt is up-cycled vintage. —— Lovely photography by: @amythorpphotography

Happy Earth Day 🌳 —— I put together some of my favourite books that I highly encourage everyone to read. These books have furthered my knowledge, respect and understanding of the environment and have also taught me to be more mindful towards other cultures and their practices. Ensuring that sustainability is practiced and ethnocentrism is avoided is fundamental in reconciliation and healing of cultures and the environment. —— Any books you’ve read and recommend regarding sustainability, the environment, or stewardship?

I love putting my makeup on in the morning, it is such a relaxing process for me which I truly enjoy. It’s another fun way to express myself and create new looks. However, most makeup brands are far from sustainable - which is why I’m very proud to say that all my makeup products are sustainable, have minimal, refillable, or no packaging, and do not have any toxic ingredients! They are also all cruelty-free & vegan! Woohoo! —— The makeup products I use are from @elatecosmetics and @sweetleilanicosmetics 👄 —— The purchase of @sweetleilanicosmetics helps to support procedures for cancer and trauma patients. @elatecosmetics products are packaged in seed paper, which you can plant & grow! —— -foundation: @sweetleilanicosmetics Hawaiian Highlight in Sky -bronzer: @sweetleilanicosmetics Island Radiance in Sun -blush: @elatecosmetics Powder Blush in Ingenue -highlight: @elatecosmetics Highlighter in Dew -eyeshadow: @elatecosmetics Pressed Eye Colour in Ethereal & Rise -eyebrows: @elatecosmetics Brow Balm in Raven and brushed with an old bamboo toothbrush -mascara: @elatecosmetics Essential Mascara -lips: @elatecosmetics Creme Lipstick —— All purchased from @greentreebeauty 🌳 —— Photography: @karynlovesnoah

Today is Record Store Day! 🎶 Music is more than just music to me, I deeply connect with music and I build memories, relationships and emotions on and around music. —— My favourite local vinyl stores in Saskatoon are: -Vinyl Diner (Broadway Ave) -The Vinyl Exchange (2nd Ave) -Sunrise Records (Midtown Plaza) -section in McNally Robinson (8th St) —— I also always check out thrift shops, flea markets & garage sales! I am able to find most of my records second hand. I actually haven’t bought a brand new vinyl in many years! Nothing makes me happier than finding a record that was just sitting collecting dust somewhere and bringing it home and including it in my life. —— What is your favourite album right now?

🎓 I DID IT! —— Over the past 5 years I have been completely immersed in my degree. I am beyond excited to be graduating! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m not a sustainable blogger for the followers or because it is now trendy, the environment has always been my passion. There is also a plethora of research behind what I am saying. I’ve spent half a decade completely dedicated to learning about the environment in a holistic and comprehensive manner. —— I’ve focused on soil genesis, plant ecology, plant and soil identification, assessing environmental impact, lndigenous studies, anthropology, environmental soil science, sustainable plant and soil management, forest ecology, terrestrial restoration, urban agriculture, toxicology, history of Indigenous agriculture in Canada, archeology and sustainability (to name a few). —— I am beyond thrilled to say that I have a Bachelor of Science in Renewable Resource Management Major in Resource Science Minor in Soil Science Certificate in Sustainability —— We need more women in science 👩🏻‍🔬

Sometimes, avoiding unnecessary plastic and packaging is actually very easy! —— -stop purchasing to-go drinks in single use containers, instead keep a reusable mug and reusable straw in your bag/car at all times! -bring reusable produce bags to purchase your groceries. Ensure that the reusable bags you’re using are made from natural fibres, as they have to get washed often and if they are made from synthetic materials, they will release synthetic microfibres - which is actually worse than using plastic bags. Produce bags composed from synthetic materials are greenwashed into making people think they are more sustainable. Synthetic microfibres are a devastating pollutant. -buy what you can in bulk! Or purchase items in glass or tin containers so you can reuse the containers, or give them to someone who will!

Soaking up some Spring sunshine ☀️ however, it’s still chilly out (typical Saskatchewan) so I haven’t stopped wearing my sweaters quite yet! —— This is a 100% natural fibre outfit, the pieces will completely biodegrade when their lifespan is over, or can be 100% recycled into something new (metal earrings & accessories). No polluting or toxic synthetics or synthetic microfibres here! Now, that’s sustainable. #SyntheticsAreNotSustainable —— -merino wool knit sweater: @aritzia -secondhand wool turtleneck: @stasiaboutique -vintage suede skirt: @betteroffduds -vintage suede boots: my mom’s in the 1980s -vintage leather purse: my grandma’s in the 1970s -vintage earrings: thrifted at @valuevillage_thrift —— Clothing is meant to be saved & cherished throughout the generations. It should also be able to naturally biodegrade (after it has been carefully cared for and donated). This is only possible if high-quality pieces are invested in, if they consist of only natural fibres, & if they are carefully taken care of. These clothing items spark some MAJOR joy✨ —— Photography: @karynlovesnoah 💛

a guide on how to really clean up your spring cleaning is now on the blog!🍋 —— There are 2 DIY non-toxic cleaning recipes on www.rawfashionblog.com for you to create!

👄GIVEAWAY👄 —— I pride myself in taking very good care of my skin - having eczema and psoriasis has ensured that I really have to take good care of my skin. However, I don’t always have the time, we all get busy. Therefore I am having a ✨GIVEAWAY✨ as I understand that sometimes taking care of your skin is difficult. Also, taking time for yourself should be a priority - self care is not selfish! —— This giveaway includes a dermaplaning facial at @vitabeautybar! @vitabeautybar is a part of @greencirclesalons here in Saskatoon, SK. —— TO ENTER: -like this post -tag 3 friends on this post -follow @rawfashionblog -follow @vitabeautybar —— The giveaway will close on Saturday March 30th, 2019. Must live in Saskatoon or be willing to drive to Saskatoon for the appointment. Good luck! —— This giveaway is not associated, endorsed or sponsored by Instagram

Vinyl of the month 🎶 —— A few years ago I used to do a “vinyl of the month” blog post - I am going to try to start doing those again! I deeply connect with music and I love sharing what music makes me happy. Has anyone listened to this album? —— I’ve bought 90% of my records secondhand, I even had a lady at a garage sale tell me that if I didn’t buy the records she was just going to throw them away (side rant: donate donate donate)! When my parents gave me my record player for Christmas in 2014 I cried I was so happy! I am going to post more about all my amazing thrifted vinyl and hopefully you can all discover some new music that you love along the way!

I stand behind the message of this shirt as strongly as I love the company that creates it —— -ethically made organic cotton shirt: @chnge -vintage raw silk trousers: @vintagesoulgeek -vintage jacket: @hazlewoodvintage -organic cotton bag: @nordisen.no -leather mules: @lastshoes -silver necklace: @huntofhounds —— WOMEN DON’T OWE YOU SHIT🔊

Weekends are for refilling bulk goodies & watering plant babies 🌿 —— This weekend I refilled my hand soap and lotion at @bulkbasket and bought package-free, locally made beeswax candles at @dadsorganicmarket_saskatoon to put in my Himalayan natural salt crystal candle holder. —— To avoid labels and confusion, I bring my chalk marker with me when I buy in bulk and write the weight of the container and the item code on the lid - it washes off easily and makes everything less confusing when purchasing! —— As for the beeswax candles, when I burn them they purify the air in my home and do not release any synthetics or chemicals into the air. Ethical beeswax does exist and the creation of ethical beeswax actually supports bees. You just have to source a local beekeeper, ask about their procedures, and avoid mass production scenarios. The movement towards Natural Beekeeping benefits bees immensely. Honeybees are threatened due to pesticides, GMOs, air pollution and climate change. Some ways to help is to never use chemicals (pesticides or herbicides) in or around your yard, let weeds grow or remove them by weeding, plant lots of native flowering species that are pollen rich (particularly in early Spring) and to recognize the difference between bees and wasps.
