Having a love for all things vintage means my wardrobe has (way more than) its fair share of brightly patterned polyester beauties and I have a hard time passing by those groovy granny frocks at the charity shop or scrolling online without snagging a few vintage delights to add to my collection.

My personal definition of vintage is items from the 1970’s and older (side note: does anyone else find that their version of “vintage” begins in the decade they were born?). According to experts, items are classified as “true vintage” if they are more than 20 years old which means I'm positively antique by now!

Have a listen to my top tips for spotting vintage + how to remove those preloved odours too!

Having lived in eco-friendly Europe and Asia for over 20 years means that recycling, upcycling and being a conscious consumer have become completely natural to me so I was pretty darn shocked and disappointed to discover the exact opposite when I returned to Canada a few years ago.

I knew that North America was A LOT more consumerist and wasteful than the places I had been living in Europe & Asia but my daily interactions really opened my eyes to just how little the average North American knows about the earth-friendly lifestyle.

Have a listen to a few of my super simple low waste tips to help you change those wasteful habits and get started on your affordable eco-lifestyle!
