We've eliminated shipping plastic and polyester fashion, now we're going circular

By the end of 2022, a minimum of 30% of our brands will be circular, and I’m talking the real deal honest definition of circular, not the green-washing kind. What’s the difference? A real circular fashion brand uses regenerated or recycled materials to create their products.

In my efforts to start consuming more consciously in the kitchen, I've been experimenting with ways to get more from our food scraps before they're composted, and this little hack works a treat!

Once upon a time, I only bought clothes on sale. In my late teens, I loved nothing more than raiding the sale rack at Supré and digging through the bargain bin at City Beach, and I would save all year just to splurge on a shopping spree on Boxing Day.

'Slip, slop, slap' has been the Australian summer anthem for as long as I can remember. At primary school, sun safety was big, and as a kid, sunscreen was a daily-slathered staple over summer. I learnt the hard way that sunscreen was a non-negotiable in the Queensland summer sun, and while my generation lathered up to protect ourselves, we weren't protecting our oceans.

Sustainable fashion is in my blood now, but it hasn't always been. I've shopped from Supré. I've ducked into Kmart for a quick essential. I've been lured into Zara for a last-minute glitzy weekend number. I've even rummaged through the sale racks at H&M and enjoyed it.

You might be just one person, but one person can change the world, and when eight billion people make better choices, we can change history. Fight for the kind of world you want to live in and make informed, ethical fashion choices - every garment counts.

Polyester garments take more than 200 years to break down, but they never decompose; tiny plastic particles exist, forever. So, what's the solution? Ditch polyester and switch to natural, biodegradable, renewable fabrics in your wardrobe, and choose to shop ethically and sustainably.

Kylie's personal experience with domestic violence was traumatic and life-changing, and it took several years to find herself and her joy again.

You've probably never stopped to think about what you're sleeping on, but you should. Considering we spend a third of our lives in bed, the sheets we're all tossing and turning in - matter.

When I need a skin pick-me-up these days, instead of using magic serums full of chemicals, I opt for a natural scrub. Kirra Australia's all-natural, nasty-free and certiﬁed organic scrub blends tick all my ethical, sustainable and clean beauty boxes, and they smell absolutely delicious too.

Joining One Roof a few years ago was one of the best decisions I've made in my professional career. It's the epitome of 'community' and such a supportive network for women in business.

Sally Rae's sustainable range is inspired by simplicity, ethical values and effortless dressing. It's also entirely vegan and transparent, which isn't commonplace in today's industry even though it should be.

Around 18 million bras make their way into landfill every few years in the U.S alone, and most of them are made with polyester material and plastic fixtures.⁠ If they're made with fabrics like polyester, nylon, synthetic lace or mesh, they can take up to 200 years to decompose.

Avoiding toxins and discussing the benefits of clean beauty products is a topic I'm deeply passionate about, and my constant search for natural and safe alternatives to everyday essentials is what lead me to Zuii Organic. I switched to Zuii a few years ago, but I fall in love with them all over again with every new lipstick shade or exciting new product release.

2020 was a doozy of a year for some, but it wasn’t a ‘bad’ year - it was exactly what it was meant to be, and there’s always something to be grateful for if you look for it.
