This post was produced in partnership with ZONE by Lydia. Please note that, as an ethical creative, all thoughts and opinions always have and always will be entirely my own.   There are two spaces I visit where I feel in flow and in the zone – in the forest and on my yoga mat. The latter I know for sure is shared by Australian Olympic gold medallist and the creator of ZONE by Lydia, Lydia Lassila. A reasonably new brand to the Australian ethical and sustainable fashion space, ZONE by Lydia was created to help us get in the ‘zone’, whether on the mat or off, more consciously and mindfully ..read more

2020 has been the weirdest year for travel, yet quite possibly the best for sustainable travel. While international travel is basically non-existent right now, many of us in Western Australia are lucky to be able to still wander out yonder. Travelling locally is so much better for our bank accounts and for our individual travel impact! As soon as the Perth border restrictions lifted, I hurried to make plans to support the sustainable tourism businesses in the South West region of WA. I took a whole week off my work (absolutely unheard of) to really soak up the Margaret River region and enjoy e ..read more

If you’re here, I want to congratulate you. Well done. Seriously. You’ve made a beautiful first step to reapproaching what you wear in a way that’s better for other humans and our blue-green earth. Thank you so much. If you’re still wondering what on earth is so important about this blog post, then let me explain very quickly.   Molly, What on Earth is Conscious Clothing? You might already know that out of the many things I identify as, a conscious fashion blogger is one of them (a very big, important one of them). So, I’m using the term ‘conscious’ clothing to cover an array of clothing ..read more

What’s the worst – or best – that could happen when a sustainable fashion blogger and woman in business refuses to buy clothes for a year? What follows is the journey I took to find out.   A No-Spend Year At the end of Fashion Revolution Week 2019 (22nd – 28th April 2019), after I had spent another long week of reflection on my clothing consumption habits, I made the call to give up purchasing clothes for a year. Why? Well, there were two parts to this: I felt as if I had enough clothes. I felt abundant and as if I had everything that I needed to get me through another year. So, why ..read more

Fashion Revolution Week is a tremendously important time of year for the international ethical and sustainable fashion community, everyone who works in fashion, and everyone who wears clothes, really. The week remembers the Rana Plaza clothing factory building collapse in Bangladesh in 2013, which killed more than 1,100 people died and injured more than another 2,500. Since 2013, Fashion Revolution Week has developed into a movement of changemakers and acts as a moment for us all to pause and use our voices to demand change from the fashion industry.   Why do we need a Fashion Revolu ..read more

I feel for Perth’s small businesses, creatives, sole traders, and freelancers right now. The COVID-19 pandemic is changing the way we do business, encouraging us to put measures in place that keep our communities safe from afar while ensuring we can still pay our bills and feed our bellies. I work with small businesses all over Australia and internationally in several ways, so I’m seeing how this pandemic is affecting many people: Through this blog, I often partner with businesses with whom I share my values, most centred around the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, the Fashion Revolution m ..read more

Woah. The last 2 years have been an uphill battle for me to achieve perfect health again after playing host to Blastocystis hominis (Blasto) in mid-2018. CW: this isn’t going to be a pretty post. I’ve been putting it off for a few years because it’s not a very comfortable topic to write or read about. However, it may help someone. So, for that reason, it’s worth it. I also wrote this before the news of COVID-19 becoming a global pandemic. Sorry to overburden you with more health-related information. Oops. While parasites and coronavirus are very different, some of my experiences could be usefu ..read more
