It’s been roughly three and a half years since I fully committed to my wellness journey, and truthfully, the very last thing to convert was my closet. Why?
Well, partially because I’m sentimental.
Partially because I love thrifting (another amazing way to save and recycle clothing).
And partially because organic, fair trade clothes tend to be more expensive. I had a hard time justifying it.
Synergy was one of the first affordable clothing companies I ever found, and I am so happy to bring you a discount code just for readers of The Organic Life!
Why organic material?
- Cotton accounts for nearly 25% of the insecticides and 10% of the pesticides used throughout the world, although is it grown on only 3% of the total cultivated area. The poisoning due to chemical insecticides and pesticides is so acute that thousands of poor farmers in developing countries end up losing their lives. Growing cotton organically means no pesticides or insecticides were used.
- Much like producing conventional coffee crops, conventional cotton production often leads to poisoning, causing various health problems for cotton farmers. Organic cotton production, on the other hand, ensures a healthy life for the farmers and their families.
- Organic cotton is softer, more durable and causes fewer allergies than conventional cotton
- Here are some more benefits from organic.net:

I’ve been on the hunt for good, comfortable, sustainable & stylish Yoga clothes for ages. Even though I practice in the comfort of my own home (and honestly, I’m not the biggest clothes person – if you know what I mean), that only goes so far when you’re traveling and still need to do some healthy routines, and can’t really do so in your skivvies or your birthday suit! 😉
Photographed in: Endemico, Mexico
Photographer: Kris Rodammer
Shirt, Shorts & Headband: Soul Role
Rings: Hunter Gatherer
Necklace: iamto’b
Soul Role, a Hawaiian based Organic & Sustainable, Eco-Friendly apparel company, was kind enough to make me some custom-fit Yoga attire – including two pairs of shorts (in black & brown), 2 headbands (for those Bikram days) & a super comfortable and flexible shirt! I’m really in love with how wearable, comfortable and just plain CUTE they are!! They’re also made in a sun & wind powered studio off the grid in Hawaii! How cool is that?! You can feel the Aloha in every stitch! 🙂
This has really gotten me into a wonderful “Sun Salutation” routine in the morning, where I do long breathing exercises on top of squats and lunges! I feel much better, can breathe better after only two weeks of a consistent routine, and my behind feels… well… firm! Sometimes you just need the right clothes to get you in the mood to change your whole life! Who knew? 🙂

An impromptu visit and near-storm escape to and from the motherland [ New York 🙂 ] has put me in kind of a strange place. I am really happy to be back in California and (for the third time in a year!) somehow booked the last flight out to my destination and completely missed a horrible snow storm. Someone up there likes me! 🙂
I didn’t exactly come back to sunshine, however: it’s been drizzling here, but on the bright side, it’s been just enough to spur some serious veggie growth! I am really feeling this set that I shot with K in Palm Springs a few weeks ago. It reflects my mood recently perfectly, and I think it’s just dark enough to bring some drama into the day! I am really happy with the look we achieved with all-natural makeup! And they said it couldn’t be done! 🙂
