I would love to be a person with clear routines that make me happy, healthy and efficient. And I would love to be the kind of person who gets up early every morning to do yoga. But I’m not. Last year was a year of change – a new country, new flat, new co-living with…
The best sustainable interior design shops in Stockholm
Interior design has always been an interest of mine, and it most definitely still is. But my interest has probably moved from being interested in new trends, to being interested in finding a sustainable style that will last over time. And since buying a flat for the first time last year, after having flat-shared for…
Björn Borg x Adisgladis.se: the obvious sustainable menswear collaboration
This is the menswear collaboration that puts an end to various misconceptions around sustainable fashion. Swedish sports and underwear brand Björn Borg is to many mainly known for its iconic mens underwear – colourful patterns and the signature waistband with Björn Borg written in large capitals.

The unsustainable beauty trends vs. a conscious routine
My mission of reducing the amount of beauty products I buy, and only replacing products when another one is finished, has been a work in progress for quite some time now. But still, I feel there’s way too much stuff on my shelves and in my drawers. And when I’m looking around (on social media…
Slow fashion challenge: taking care of your clothes
Having a sustainable wardrobe means making the most of what you have – by buying long-lasting pieces, and taking care of them to ensure their long life. But for various reasons we still end up with clothes we stop wearing after a while, and often, this is due to some minor, fixable issue. Like, it…
Fashion Revolution and the quest for transparency
This is a very important week in the conscious fashion calendar. It’s Fashion Revolution Week, honouring the anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster where 1,138 people were killed as the Rana Plaza factory collapsed. It’s a week to honour those killed and affected, and to say that it should never happen again. But for it…
Eco-friendly swaps for your home to reduce plastic
Our everyday activities and decisions are the ones that matters the most when it comes to leading a conscious lifestyle. And this becomes even clearer on awareness days like Earth Day (22 April). It should of course be Earth Day every day and the messages surrounding the day should be considered every day. Our everyday…
Renting our way to a sustainable wardrobe
The big flashy wardrobes filled with clothes we never have time to, or even want to, wear are on their way out. Over consumption is not just un-ethical and un-sustainable, but also not trendy anymore – thanks to movements of conscious consumption and slow fashion. But it’s also due to practicality and the fact that…
The art of waiting in a fast-paced society
Whatever happened to the saying ‘good things come to those who wait’? In today’s busy and fast-paced society, we tend to expect everything to happen right away, and if we want something, we want it now. But why? Why are we so against having to wait for something? Two new chairs have recently moved into…
Is conscious consumption a women’s issue?
My interest and passion for feminist issues as well as environmental and sustainability ones comes from my mother. Looking around, I see women taking the lead in making the conscious consumption movement the norm. High-profile fighters for sustainable fashion are female, like Stella McCartney, Livia Firth, and Emma Watson to name just a few. And…
