Dream Big, Support Small.
Eco-Friendly Stocking Stuffer Ideas here we come! Although reducing the amount of gift-giving we do is always a good thing in my eyes. (Especially when it’s just junk that gets thrown away a week later..) I must say, stockings are one of those things that make the holiday special and fun. Hanging the stocking over the fire (or your TV fireplace in my case) and opening up those tiny gifts from what seems like a bottomless sock. There’s nothing quite like it! Read more

Once again it’s the season of consuming! Disposable decorations, throw away party favors, and garbage, garbage, garbage! So that’s why here at andthebee we are trying to slowly help people move towards a more “reusable” and minimal-waste lifestyle. Our favorite way to do that is by also supporting small businesses and talented artisans. The best place to do all of the above? Etsy!!

It’s that spooky time of year again. And once again another holiday producing disposable one-use decorations that go out for one day and thrown away the next. But, it doesn’t have to be that way! I’ve come up with some ideas on how to replace those disposable “no-go’s” for reusable ones! But first, I thought we would start off with a little history lesson about Halloween…
Summer is coming to an end and it’s back to school, back to work, and back to “reality”. At least that’s what some people say. Personally, I designed my life that so all 365 days feel like reality. The weather changes and the temperature too, but my view of life remains the same. My goals are still there, my dreams still dancing in my head, my attitude consistent (for the most part).
But for some of us who have taken a reasonable rest from their jobs or schools, are beginning again now in Autumn.
Are you prepared? Are you thinking of ways to bring some change into your day-to-day during the new season?
How about starting with some reusable, recycled, re-found essentials? Read more
