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:

To help you out on your personal organic fashion journey, I’ve teamed up today with Synergy Organic Clothing. They produce sustainable, organic clothing in conjunction with 150 female workers in Nepal, who are paid living wages and given yearly bonuses. This clothing is incredibly made, expertly crafted and super comfy!

The weather has been really perking up lately. We did a few days there of gloominess and I just couldn’t stand it! It’s nice to greet the sunshine again. Raelie loves it too! We’ve got a new routine: morning ball playing, run by the beach, THEN we start our day. It’s been super helpful for clarity of mind and my body feels so, so much better after a few weeks of my arthritis acting up like crazy.
I was thrilled to recently shoot for Tiger Mist’s new collection, including Rise of Dawn and Salt and Sauce. The weather has been perfect for these sexy sets – and Tiger Mist has a great selection of all kinds of clothing, from the date night daring to the demure and dainty.

Happy May! It’s my favorite season here in SoCal. Just warm enough to venture outside and explore, but just cool enough to not worry about possible dehydration on your adventures ( a far cry from some summer’s here!) The waves are warm and welcoming. Day moon is always beckoning. The beautiful blooming flowers, summer succulents and spring breeze is enough to get me up earlier and in bed just a little bit later. I’ve been editing my book by the beach daily, tea in hand, exploring my own quaint little beach town, switching between grainy film and crisp digital. Faint captures. Sleepy silhouettes. Everyone has a surfboard, a story and a smile. I’d marry every palm tree. A colorful, dreamy landscape waits to greet me around every corner. It feels beautiful, fresh, new. It feels like home.
