think anyone out there wants to intentionally hurt the environment with their beauty or sleep routine, but it isn’t always simple or easy to figure out what eco-friendly beauty products are out there and whether they will work. I have long been a fan of Burt’s but only recently made the realization that they are from Durham, North Carolina, so not only can I feel good about using their organic, eco-friendly products, they are local (at least for me)! I often take some of this in a travel-sized container (they sell travel-sized bottles as well) and use it for shampoo, body and face wash, for laundry I hope that by sharing the eco-friendly beauty products that I am currently using for both at home and while traveling, you will consider switching some of the products that you are using and consider more sustainable and/or eco-friendly versions of your own.

In mid-February, I went on a super quick trip to San Jose, California for a 1-day event and when I returned I had 5 business trips, including 2 weeks in Europe canceled and my employer, who saw the early signs, mandated a work-from-home policy. Thanks to an alert from my friend Kristin who shared a photo of the book she is currently reading on Instagram, I learned that a great book I read last year The Women & Ideas Shaping Paris until July, but you can still PRE-order it and if you haven’t read her first book, The New Paris, now is the time!

However right now with the cross-country move from Phoenix to Raleigh, the new house and the still-new job, plus you know that “C” word that’s disrupting everyone’s life at the moment, I have been sticking closer to hearth and home. It used to be featured in our living room in Phoenix, but it is not quite right in the new home, bonus for me, because with it, along with my new mid-century modern sofa that’s blue, it is perfect for my office and totally on-brand for the blog! We love the community that we chose in the greater Raleigh-Durham area, much like our last home in Phoenix we live in a gated community with a golf course, pool and tons of walking paths, this community even has lots of hiking paths in the woods. If you are looking for an exceptional walking shoe that is perfect for travel, look no further than Jambu, comfortable and adventurous shoes for women (and men) that not only feel great, but they look good too!

Nearest metro: Richelieu-Drouot (Exit at 2|R. de Richelieu) on Line 8 or 9. Nearest metro: République (Exit at 2|R. du Temple) on Line 8 or 9. Nearest metro: Grands Boulevards (Exit at 3|R. Montmartre) on Line 8 or Le Peletier on Line 7. Exploring the Paris passages is such a delight and you can do it on your own without issue, but if you like to do historical walking tours, I found three that may interest you (not affiliated links): the 19th Century Covered Passages & Palais Royal Tour from Localers; the Walking Tour through Paris’ Covered Passages from Paris Explorer Pass; and the Walking Tour in the Parisian Covered Passages from Paris Pass (affiliate).
