Conscious Christmas 2020 || His + Hers
Guide #2 is here! It’s packed with a diverse range of gift ideas from brands I truly love. There’s something for everyone, whether the “his” you’re shopping for is your SO, your brother, your dad, your cousin…and the “her” on your list is your mom, best friend, aunt, or (I really hope this is the case) yourself. The gifts are versatile, practical, and of course, all from ethical, sustainable brands that I’ve personally vetted and chatted with. Don’t forget to take advantage of the discount codes that are included for some of the items!
Happy shopping!

We never imagined mask-fashion would be a thing, and yet here we are. But in all seriousness, this mask is unreal. Every time I wear it I get compliments on how unique the print is. This sweet UK-based Etsy shop is a one-woman show using one of a kind prints that are to die for.

Handmade by Peruvian artisans and one of the most beautiful beanies I’ve ever owned.

From my friend Bri who is one of the most knowledgeable nutritionists and holistic health coaches out there.

My friend Daniella is a wardrobe genie. She’s helped countless women learn what colors work best for them, what clothes make them feel their best, and more. She’s just released her new “Dress to Feel Confident Bundle” and it would make the perfect gift for anyone who is overwhelmed with their current closet or who feels that getting dressed is a chore rather than a confidence boost.
