Hello, hello my lovely people! 👋✨
If you didn’t already know this about me, YouTube is still very new to me and I’m trying to figure this thing out! For the past few years, I have been a short form content creator, primarily on TikTok and Instagram, so I’m so thrilled to see that the YouTube community cares about sustainability and are willing to open their minds to learning new things. 🙌
However!!! I am curious if you all even want to see long videos. I will be honest I don’t have the time to post weekly, but if you do want long form videos, I will give them go for the first time. :)
So let me know, do you even watch long form videos? What would you like me to post if I did?
Feeling incredibly grateful to have completed the first community event of 2024! 🥳❤️🌱
This awesome group got to experience a forest, bathing event guided by Jess from Urban Forest Therapy for free thanks to LifeFactory and their support. ✨🌲
Soon I will be sharing more about the experience and how you can implement some of these mindfulness practices at home if you don’t live in the area or were unable to attend the event. 🙌
🚨If you’re not already in the know:
I host various free to attend community events throughout the year in St. Louis. You can stay up to date on what’s coming up by following me on IG! 💅 After each event I post a guide on how you can do this in your own home/city. ✌️
Happy Earth Day! 🌱❤️🌎 I encourage you to get off this app, hug a tree, let your feet touch the ground, and enjoy this beautiful planet + the people on it so we can go right back to protecting it. 🙌
Love, ya! 🤭
Spent some time in Indianapolis presenting a climate communication workshop alongside the wonderful Hannah Phillips of the Saint Louis Zoo and NNOCCI at the 2024 Midwest Climate Summit and came back home to St. Louis to find out our YouTube Play Button had arrived for surpassing 100,000 community members on this platform. 🌎❤️
Forever grateful for all of you who are awesome enough to open your minds up to new ways to think about sustainability and climate change. ✨Love ya! 🤭
A little collection of finds from a few weekends ago. ✨🤭
Got this GIANT cowboy boot on FB Marketplace today. It used to be used as a lamp, apparently, but I really don’t see how that looked good. Thinking of using it as a planter since it’s pretty shallow.
It was previously (poorly) painted white. Should I:
A) Strip the paint and leave it as is
B) Strip the paint and paint it brown/tan
C) Do something else entirely (leave your suggestions!) 🤠
Thrifted this apple tic-tac-toe board over the weekend! You can see more of what I found on my thrift trip in my last YT Shorts thrift store smash or pass video. 🍎✨
Just got back from Seattle and I can’t wait to share about some of the antique stores we got the chance to visit! ✨📍
Welcome! My name is Alyssa and I'm a midwestern gal based out of St. Louis who is learning and sharing about my sustainable journey through a community-focused lens by documenting it online for people to see.
My goal was to share a realistic version of how the middle of the country can push for and live a more sustainable lifestyle + foster a sense of community. Along the way, I also share bits of climate action and education so we can keep the climate crisis at the forefront of our minds to sustain a happy and healthy planet for all.
I'd love to have you join me! Follow along if you want to be eco besties.
