Reduce, Reuse, Rejoice: A Spiritual Guide to Waste Management

Several months back I published a post about the waste we humans produce due to our eating habits (Click Here To Read). A lot of what I learned while writing this piece has stuck with me, influencing the way I think and feel, and consequently, the way I eat. At times I'm overwhelmed by this knowledge; I struggle with guilt brought on in part by my own, and in part by my fellow species, decision to exist in a way not consistent with nature. But as I continue to ponder these decisions, I'm beginning to realize something quite extraordinary.

Keep Calm & Compost

With all the bad news this week (I think we all know what I’m referring to) it’s nice to take solace in the simple things, like fresh air, nutritious food, and getting dirty! I am scared of what the future will bring, or take away, but I’m trying to approach these anxieties in a Zen-like manner; this is my mantra: the only moment is the one I’m in, and the most I can do is what I can do with my two hands, right now… which is why it’s time to compost!

Eat to Live (this summer!)

I absolutely adore Disfunkshion Magazine. They have fabulous stories, artful photos, and best of all, they are all about female empowerment. Yes there is a lot of fashion, but there is also a focus on the dynamic woman: intelligent, strong, complex, beautiful and unique.

I recently discovered their Eat to Live section and loved it! It's full of enticing recipes sourced from all over the globe; I especially love the focus on nutritional ingredients used in surprising new ways, did someone say frozen-strawberry-kiwi-yogurt-bars?

The photos are pretty amazing too! Check it out here and be prepared for a feast for the eyes:
