Compost Tumbler Transforms Waste into Garden Gold
One of the sustainable products that I use regularly is a compost tumbler. It’s a simple yet incredibly effective tool for turning garden and kitchen waste into rich, organic compost. Over the years, I’ve tested different composting methods, and this one has proven to be the most efficient and practical for both my own garden and my clients’. The tumbler keeps the process clean and odor-free, and the rotating design speeds up decomposition while keeping pests out. From lawn clippings to vegetable scraps, it all goes in and comes out as beautiful nutrient-rich compost that gets worked straight back into the soil. This not only reduces landfill waste but massively boosts soil health without the need for synthetic fertilizers.
My years of hands-on gardening experience and formal horticulture training have helped me understand exactly how compost feeds the soil biology and improves plant health from the ground up. I can read soil conditions quickly and apply compost in a way that delivers real, visible results. It’s this mix of science and experience that allows me to turn something as simple as food waste into a powerful tool for sustainable gardening. I appreciate how it closes the loop, giving back to the earth instead of taking from it, which is what I try to encourage with every client I work with.

Stone Bath Mats Absorb Water Sustainably
I currently have stone bath mats in all of my bathrooms, and I absolutely love them. They’re made of diatomaceous earth, which is a natural, non-toxic, and highly absorbent material. They’re better than fabric bath mats because they absorb more water and dry within seconds! I always find that fabric bath mats stay wet for hours and can contribute to moisture in the bathroom, which creates the perfect environment for harmful mold growth.
They’re also fabulous from a feng shui perspective – in feng shui, bathrooms are an area of the home that can drain away wealth (water is a symbol of wealth in feng shui), and because these stone bath mats work so well at absorbing water, they symbolically prevent wealth from draining away!

Beeswax Wraps Replace Plastic for Food Storage
One of my favorite eco-friendly products has to be the reusable beeswax food wraps.
Whether I’m storing leftover pizza, wrapping a piece of fruit on the go, or even covering leftover soup, it has completely replaced plastic wraps in my day-to-day life.
What makes it sustainable is that it’s made of organic cotton, beeswax, tree resin, and either jojoba or coconut oil. You can even make them yourself at home, but to be completely honest, I can mess up a bowl of cereal, so I never tried it myself.
I appreciate this because I feel it’s such a small win that goes a long, long way.

Reusable Bamboo Cup Sparks Sustainability Conversations
One of my favorite eco-friendly products is my reusable bamboo coffee cup. I use it almost every day—whether I’m on the go or working from a cafe. What makes it so sustainable is that it’s made from fast-growing, biodegradable bamboo instead of plastic or paper, and it’s completely reusable, which cuts down on single-use waste.
I especially appreciate that it’s lightweight, durable, and stylish. More importantly, it reminds me to be mindful about the small choices I make. It’s a simple swap, but over time, it has helped reduce my reliance on disposable cups and sparked more conversations about sustainability with friends and colleagues.
For me, it’s less about making perfect choices and more about being intentional. Small shifts like this add up and encourage a more conscious way of living.

Unpaper Towels Reduce Kitchen Waste Effortlessly
I’ve been using unpaper towels for a couple of years now, and they’ve completely replaced paper towels in my kitchen. They’re reusable, super absorbent (and actually get better the more you wash them), and way cuter than a roll of disposables—mine have a little rose pattern that makes cleanup feel a bit less like a chore. I use them for everything: wiping counters, cleaning up spills, and drying vegetables. They’ve helped me cut down on waste without really thinking about it, and I love that they’re easy to toss in the wash with the rest of the laundry. It’s one of those swaps that just quietly works.
