Hello and welcome to Green and Grounded Life! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m starting this blog to document and share my journey toward living a healthier, more sustainable life—all while being mindful of my budget. Whether you’re looking for simple ways to improve your well-being, live more sustainably, or inspiration for eco-friendly changes, I hope my journey can inspire and support you on yours!

Why Green and Grounded?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, when we were all locked in our homes, I had plenty of time (maybe too much time) to think.   I realized I wanted to make healthier, more mindful choices – better habits, stronger financial choices, and (kind of by accident) found that sustainable choices could fulfill those goals. There has been plenty to learn, but each small change has made a difference.

Along the way, I discovered that living more consciously and intentionally can be rewarding in so many ways. Whether it’s choosing eco-friendly products, experimenting with whole food recipes, or curating a wardrobe that reflects my values, I’ve found that simple, thoughtful choices create a more balanced and fulfilling life.

This blog is a space for me to document the lessons I’ve learned, the challenges I’ve faced, and the exciting new projects I’m working on. I’m excited to take you along with me as I continue to learn!

What can you expect?

In an attempt to narrow down my thoughts, I’m going to sort my posts into five categories.

Sustainable Living where I’ll talk about creating a life and home that’s kinder to the planet—from zero-waste tips to natural cleaning products and energy-saving ideas.

Recipes where I’ll collect and document the foods I like. Hopefully with a focus healthy recipes , but I do have a sweet tooth.

Personal Finance where I’ll note ways I find to keep things budget friendly and frugal (but sustainable!).

Conscious Fashion where I’ll talk about ways I’ve found to make better choices when it comes to clothing.

A Balanced Lifestyle, which is admittedly a catch all to talk about the projects I’m working on with a spin on keeping things balanced.

What’s coming up next?

I’m excited to share practical, sustainable ideas that will help you live a balanced, mindful life. In the coming posts, I’ll be covering everything from recipes to easy ways to reduce waste and create a more eco-friendly home. I’ll also talk about my clothing finds and will talk about finances in a way that aligns with a green lifestyle. I hope that these posts will inspire you and show how small, intentional changes can improve your well-being and the world around you.

Join the Journey!
