THE SLOW LIFE MOVEMENT
The original slow living movement began in Italy during the 1980s as a response to fast food and mass production. It sought quality over speed, craft over convenience, and intention over impulse. We honor all definitions of slow, intentional, and natural living, shaped by season, place, and culture, as our souls seek quiet, calm, and ease amidst modern, fast, and loud. We choose goods crafted by human hands in small batches from simple materials and connect you to the artist, the farmer, the weaver, the beekeeper, and the herbalist. We give grace and lead with love, moving in the easy rhythm of progress over perfection. For your home, your work, and your life.
WHERE DO I START?
slow life swaps you can make today
NON-TOXIC APPAREL
Fast fashion uses about 8,000 synthetic chemicals and BPA has been found in 90% of textile samples. These chemicals sit against your skin all day without your consent. Choosing clean apparel crafted with natural fibers and gentle dyes becomes an act of protection and a way of supporting makers who create with your wellness in mind.
SLOW BEAUTY
More than half of 231 mainstream cosmetics tested in a major study contained PFAS forever chemicals. EWG also found that 73,000 products across 595 brands, used up to 88 chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. Shifting to small-batch clean skincare is an easy and healthy return to beauty rooted in nature, and that carries a heartbeat rather than a barcode.
HANDMADE SANCTUARY
Indoor air can hold two to five times more VOCs than outdoors, sometimes reaching one thousand times more, and new mass produced home goods can exceed formaldehyde health guidelines. Choosing handmade, fair trade pieces shaped from natural materials invites cleaner air and and it supported ethical artisans in the USA, Canada, and in fair trade countries.
