How Underconsumption Is Shaping the Season
It happens every year… The holidays arrive, and suddenly everything multiplies. Shopping lists, gift piles, decorations, social obligations, expectations. Somewhere between the “must-haves” and the “limited-time-onlys,” it becomes easy to forget what we actually want. But this season, something quietly radical is happening: people are choosing less. It even has a name that’s taken on […]
A Mattress’s Life: How It’s Made, Used, and Reused
What Happens to a Mattress Over Its Lifetime? We don’t often think about where our mattresses come from—or where they go when we’re done with them. But just like everything else we bring into our homes, mattresses have a full lifecycle. And how we engage with each phase of that cycle matters—not just for our […]
Companies That Care: Why Corporate Responsibility & Impact Reports Matter

Winter Wellness Rituals Worth Making
Winter has a way of slowing us down. Shorter days, longer nights, and that deep, bone-level urge to cocoon. While summer asks for motion, winter invites stillness.

But at its core, gratitude isn’t about forced positivity or ignoring what’s difficult. It’s a grounding practice. A slow breath. A moment of appreciation and presence in a season that asks […]
What Actually Happens to Our Bodies During the Holidays
The Pinterest-perfect montage of twinkling lights and velvet-wrapped ornaments usually comes with a not-so-Instagrammable side of bottomless cookie trays, the colorful commentary of relatives you see once a year, and the stress of it all. Meanwhile, your workout routine and sleep schedule have taken an extended holiday of their own. Even though the season puts […]

Why Hustle-Culture Resolutions Don’t Stick (And What Actually Supports Real Change)
Every January, we’re handed the same message in new packaging: This is the year you finally fix yourself. Wake up earlier. Work harder. Eat cleaner. Be more disciplined. Optimize everything. And if you fall off by February? Well, you just didn’t want it badly enough. Except…that’s not actually how change works. Hustle culture loves resolutions […]
Mindfully Closing Out the Year
Is it just me, or do the comparison traps on social media towards the end of the year feel extra… enticing? Somewhere between “should I be doing more?” and “I kind of just want to lie down,” it feels like we’re expected to gracefully tie a bow around the entire year. But here’s the thing: […]
A Non-ToxicHoliday with Sustainably Aimee
Where Celebration Meets Conscious Living The holidays tend to bring out our extremes. We crave cozy nights in, yet somehow end up sprinting between events. We want to be thoughtful with our gifts, but the pressure to get it right can nudge us toward overconsumption. And somewhere between décor trends, shipping deadlines, and sales that […]
