I was waiting for the sun to come up so I had an excuse to wear yellow against yellow – also I have been having such amazing luck while thrifting lately! It is definitely a thrill that will never get old. I cannot wait to work these items into more outfits!

This is a critical time for the environment and whichever government/party wins this federal election will face very important decisions about our future and the future of the planet. We can show the importance of voting for the environment, we can protect the environment, we can nurture nature, and we can choose a healthier future - take time to really research which party has the best environmental plan set in place and make an educated and informed vote. Advanced polls are from October 11-14 and Election Day is October 21. I voted yesterday and there was no line whatsoever! Together, we can make sure the next government takes environmental protection seriously. Please go vote! #OneEarthOneVote #PeerOEOV2 #Ad

It’s a secondhand vinyl kinda night 🎶

Today I’m wearing an outfit consisting of secondhand items made from natural materials #SyntheticsAreNotSustainable 🌾 My cream-coloured cotton sweater from @hazlewoodvintage is a staple in my closet. I thrifted my beautiful dark green vintage suede skirt and paired it with my vintage suede boots (which were my mom’s in the 1980s). My vintage leather jacket was thrifted, however when I got it, the leather was stiff and needed some love. I wiped the leather down with a wet cloth, let it dry completely, then put lemon essential oil on a rag and rubbed it into the leather. Now it is buttery soft!! Using lemon essential oil on leather items can help prevent cracks and will also extend the longevity of the leather item! I thrifted my sunglasses, my wool clutch was my grandma’s, and the jade charm was my mom’s. I get the most joy out of wearing items that I find during thrifting outings that I see and fall in love with. Don’t pay too much attention to trends, they never last anyway!

One of my favourite things about my backyard is the crabapple tree. The crabapple tree is really old, so last year it didn’t produce a single apple (winter thaw events, due to climate change, really injured it) however this year it produced thousands of crabapples! We made apple sauce, apple juice, apple fruit leather, and dried apple slices (pictured here). We sliced the crabapples up and put them into our dehydrator to create this delicious snack! Drying the apples also helps to ensure we are able to preserve them for longer and get a chance to eat them all before the apples spoil! Crabapples are naturally a tart apple, but if they are left on the tree after the first frost then picked, they are sweeter. I personally enjoy them before and after the frost - such a good snack!

My blog post about spending time with the women of @shenativegoods is now on the blog! @shenativegoods is Indigenous, because the creators are indigenous. They live by their culture and that helps them to build their brand. However, this brand is for everyone. They want to showcase inclusivity, while providing a brand that can be supported by all who love their ideals. They are female Indigenous creatives that infuse strength, confidence, and the teachings from their nations to all diverse nations. I am delighted to support such an incredible company and such incredible women. I am very thankful and honoured that I was invited to be part of their day and their photoshoot. Make sure to read more about @shenativegoods on my blog! Photography: Tenille Campbell @sweetmoonphoto —— Outfit Details: The top and necklace were my grandmother’s and I thrifted the vintage leather pants.

It is officially spooky season! You wanna know what’s really scary? Scientists from McGill University, Canada discovered that just one teabag made from plastic can release billions of plastic particles into your tea. This is a direct way of consuming microplastics - which negatively impact our health. The study found that steeping a tea bag containing plastic released around 11.6 billion microplastics and 3.1 billion plastic nanoparticles into the tea. This study was published in the Environmental Science and Technology journal on September 25, 2019. The researchers discovered that “the levels of nylon and polyethylene terephthalate particles released from the teabag packaging are several orders of magnitude higher than plastic loads previously reported in other foods.” Past studies have found there to be microplastics in table salt, fish, tap and bottled water as well. They also discovered that exposure to the plastic particles released from plastic teabags caused behavioural and developmental effects - however, as always, more research is needed to properly understand the health impacts of consuming micro and nanoplastics. This does not mean you have to give up on drinking tea, I know I sure won’t - I am a tea addict! What you can do is switch to drinking loose leaf tea! All the tea I enjoy lately is loose leaf tea, better yet I buy it in bulk so I cut down on the packaging even more! I bring my reusable tin to @davidstea and my reusable mason jar to @bulkbasket for my loose leaf tea! Let’s start consuming less single-use plastic!

I am so excited to have been selected as a judge for the #CleanBeautyAwards I will be reviewing 10 different facial serums that are formulated without potentially harmful ingredients. @certclean is North America’s leading certification for safer beauty and personal care products & I cannot wait to be a part!

Today I have my vinyls playing, @sajewellness’s House Warming blend diffusing, & I am tackling some cleaning projects. I took my hammer to the bamboo on the outside of my @elatecosmetics mascara tubes and eyeliner tubes. I am going to smash the bamboo into even smaller pieces and put it into my compost bin. If the bamboo packaging was thrown into the landfill, it would never break down. I am taking my clean mascara wands to @greentreebeauty, who will donate them to a wildlife refuge that will use the wands to clean injured wildlife. I did attempt to clean the plastic tubes holding the mascara and eyeliner so I could recycle them. However, I found it impossible to get all the mascara and eyeliner out of them, so they did end up in the garbage - I do not want to wishcycle or make someone else’s job a headache when they have to sort through dirty plastic (as plastic can only be recycled when it is completely clean). Bamboo is a sustainable packaging alternative, however it is still a resource that needs to be grown, harvested, produced and shipped - I wouldn’t want it wasted or just created to get thrown out. The use of bamboo on the outside of the mascara and eyeliner plastic tubes doesn’t sit well with me, as I feel like it’s only there for aesthetic reasons (I hit the plastic tube with a hammer several times and it was so strong it never even showed any wear or tear) however, I am glad to support @elatecosmetics because their products are amazing, they are actively working to try & ensure each of their products is sustainable & I hope they will continue to work towards even more sustainable products!

As part of Secondhand September, this is a completely secondhand (& natural material) outfit! ❤️ When I was wearing this skirt, an older man approached me and asked if I was from Scotland (in a very distinctive Scottish accent) while pointing at my skirt. I told him that it is a vintage piece that I bought. Then he went on to explain that he came over to talk to me because the pattern on my skirt reminded him of his distinctive tartan pattern. He was a part of the Light Infantry in World War II and he wore a tartan kilt with a similar pattern to my skirt when he went into battle. Then he started to explain to me that different variations of the pattern indicated different clans. He also said something about being a Stewart, however it was lost on me with my lack of World War II knowledge. It is stories like these that remind me how important clothing is and that clothing should be cherished - clothing tells a story. Clothing should not be disregarded or treated like an easily replaceable item. When we take care of our clothing, we take care of memories. Outfit Details: -cashmere sweater: @saskatoonmissionthriftstore -vintage leather fannypack: @valuevillage_thrift -vintage wool skirt: @rackandruin -vintage leather boots: @hazlewoodvintage

Here are some of my secondhand finds! I just wrote a blog post about how to properly clean secondhand finds! I’ve been wearing secondhand clothing for over a decade now and I have never had any issues, however I also do make sure to properly launder every item I bring home! So I decided to share what I do with all of you! Check it out on www.rawfashionblog.com - link in profile description!

Whenever I do a photoshoot, if possible, I am bringing my own clothing. This is because my own clothing consists of mostly vintage and secondhand pieces that are made from natural materials. Before a photoshoot, I go through my closet and choose from what I already own. I reimagine pieces, for example, my top is actually a scarf! Secondhand style is the best style! It is thrilling to me that as I have grown as a model, that I am able to incorporate more of my passions into the shoot, style my own shoots & use them to promote the things I stand behind. I was given this cashmere scarf as a gift from my auntie probably almost a decade ago, I thrifted this vintage suede skirt from a thrift shop here in Saskatoon, & I handpicked all the plants used in my hair from a ditch and dried them myself. & yes, that is a tumbleweed in my hair!

Fresh wild blueberries 🥣 I was forced to take a little detour on one of my outings while exploring in the Boreal forest and I stumbled across a ginormous patch of wild blueberries! This was the first time I’ve been able to taste wild blueberries and I have been missing out, they are incredible. I made sure to stay alert as I was picking because there was evidence of bears everywhere (🐻💩) but after making adequate noise I was able to pick a good amount. I made sure not to pick all the berries off of each plant and left some for the bears to enjoy. I took them back to the cabin, washed them and froze them so I can enjoy package-free wild blueberries for the next while! I am so thankful I was able to come across these and enjoy them. Nature is so wonderful, however it can only be productive if we protect it!
