I’ve always been an animal lover, and passionate about doing my part to help protect the planet. These two passions led me to launch Wholesome Culture.
In 2016, I started thinking about just how much my personal choices affect the world.
I realized that every decision we make on a daily basis has the power to either destroy or save the planet.
I decided I needed to do something to make a real difference.
I made the transition to a fully plant-based lifestyle, and immediately felt good knowing that my choices were making a positive difference for the planet.
I knew I had to share this experience with others.
So, in November 2016, I launched Wholesome Culture as a movement to make mindful and sustainable living accessible to thousands of people across the globe.
If just one person can make an impact, imagine what we can do together.

I’m of the generation that heard frequently about the importance of the three Rs. Reduce, reuse, and recycle was grilled into me as a child. So I love buying vintage or supporting companies that reuse and recycle products.
My favorite vintage finds are clothing, mid-century furniture, and random nick nacks I find when antiquing! I’m also a freak about recycling —you can thank my childhood and the three years I lived in San Francisco for that. And I garden! All my summer veggies are slowly growing in.
Do you have any pets?
I have four pets, all of whom were adopted: Remus, a 2½-year-old Pitbull Lab mix; Daphne, a two-year-old Pitbull Corgi mix; Dolly, a four-year-old Orange Tabby cat; and Pepperann, a 7½-year-old Tuxedo cat.
What are your favorite pastimes?
Hiking, roller skating, and antiquing.
Who are your favorite people to spend time with?
My boyfriend, my family, and my best friends who live in North Ireland.

I am most passionate about cleaning up our beaches and oceans. I live at the beach and see the effects of our waste firsthand.
Do you have any pets?
I have a 17-year-old Jack Russell Terrier called Abbey —she is the light of my life —and a cat called Maxx. He's more of my husband's cat, lol!
What is your favorite pastime?
My favorite pastime is spending time on the beach. It connects me with the earth and brings me back to center.
Who are your favourite people to spend time with?
My favorite person to spend time with is my hubby. We don't have to do anything at all to have fun. He makes me laugh, cry, and everything in between.

Walking is my favorite sustainable activity! I find that no matter where I am — a quiet hiking trail or busy city street — I always notice something special about the planet that I would miss if I was in a car.
These small but magical moments keep me motivated to minimize my impact in other ways like composting, switching to non-toxic beauty products, and shopping locally.
Do you have any pets?
I don’t have any pets, but I’m a proud plant parent. I have a very sassy Calathea plant named Cece and a bunch of other sweet little succulent friends.
What are your favorite pastimes?
Reading—preferably with a yummy warm drink in reach.
Who are your favorite people to spend time with?
A room with my husband, sister, parents, and two best friends, Kayla and Shaida, is a room I want to be in... and maybe never leave!

To give back to the planet, I have reduced meat consumption, from every day to once every two weeks. I now own my own tote bags and grocery bags, and I have tons of glass jars, which I use for my art projects, planting, storing food, etc.
Since I started working with Wholesome Culture I have learned so much more about living a sustainable life and I love learning more every day while designing the content!
Do you have any pets?
I don’t have any pets, but my partner and I are obsessed with plants! We live in a small apartment —and about 40 percent of it is covered with plants. (He takes the most care about them, I just like buying them) :D
What are your favorite pastimes?
I know it's a cliché but what I do for work is my hobby. I draw 24/7, whether it's for work or just for me. Once in the while I try to go running, play tennis, or go snowboarding, but I would probably be thinking about design and art during those activities too. ♥

I am most passionate about intentional consumption to preserve and protect the planet.
The way our family lives this is by only buying things we need, reusing and upcycling items, composting our food scraps, recycling everything that can be recycled, and not using single-use plastics.
Do you have any pets?
We have 15-year-old cats with super unique names: Kuzya and Nafanya. They are a brother and sister that my husband and I adopted when they were kittens and have been with us ever since.
What are your favorite pastimes?
Exploring new places like cute towns with yummy vegan cafes and new hiking trails.
Who are your favourite people to spend time with?
My family (human and furry)!

My favorite thing to do for the planet is waste segregation and collecting materials that can be recycled. This will reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and it also helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste.

I enjoy helping my kids with their assignments and school projects. I also enjoy playing mobile games and watching movies or series with them during vacation.
Who are your favourite people to spend time with?
I spend most of my time with my family.
