Dear CelebHomes readers,

It’s my favorite season of the year for many reasons. It’s my birthday in April. But it also marks Earth Month. This month reminds us to look at our lives and make small adjustments to improve our sustainability and eco-consciousness. CelebHomes Earth Month Guest Editor is an honour and I am thrilled to share some environmentally-conscious tips, tricks, products and ideas that I have found throughout the years.

It is vital to live sustainably, even though it may feel overwhelming at times. Remember that everyone is in this together. Even the smallest of changes can have a significant impact on the world. Simple actions such as turning off the water in your bathroom while you are brushing your teeth and turning off the lights when you go to bed can make a big difference, particularly if everyone does these things consistently. We can achieve a lot together.

It’s been a busy month in April with many exciting projects that I cannot wait to share. My KORA Organics colleagues and I will participate in a beach clean-up on April 21st to commemorate Earth Day as well as the release of the Active Algae Lightweight Moisturizer. KORA’s mission is to promote sustainability. Not only do I believe in ethically and organically farmed ingredients but also that we use sustainable packaging. To help reduce waste, Active Algae Lightweight Moisturizer is packaged in a glass jar. It will also come with refill pods that are made of 100% recycled plastic.

Because it’s a sustainable product, the moisturizer launches with a beach clean-up. It also coincides with Earth Day (April 22nd) and my birthday (April 20th). Giving back to Mother Earth is the perfect way to mark all of these special occasions.

I’ll be sharing some ways that I live sustainably, along with simple and cost-effective habits. My experiences with raising environmentally-conscious children and sharing some habits we enjoy as a family, will be shared. Wellness is also important. Kora Organics was created to help people be their best selves, inside and outside. Because I believe health is wealth, I am passionate about encouraging people to care for themselves, their minds, the earth, and each other in thoughtful ways. This month will be informative, fun and reflective.
