We've moved!

Hello, Green Bees!  It's everso slightly bittersweet to write this post, because Blogspot has been my home for the better part of the decade, but after months of thinking about it, I've taken the plunge and have built a brand new website under my own domain! I would be honored if you followed my adventures and journey into living sustainably over at greenchiclife.com. ... and yes, there...

A few notes on creating a vacation capsule wardrobe...

My dear pals, I have to admit something: While I like to claim that I am a maximalist minimalist, I have never attempted a 10 for 10 challenge or created anything like a capsule wardrobe.

#FreebieFriday with Tulia's Artisan Gallery...
