A Kansas City native with an affinity for all things local and have dedicated this blog to chronicling my journey to not only shop mostly local, but to live holistically.

In a world where it’s all too easy to shop at Target, Wal-Mart, and Amazon, we should challenge ourselves to consider where our money goes, how it affects our community, and what are the values of the company we are paying. For me, being a more conscious and holistic consumer means putting as much of my money into local infrastructure and supporting brands that are working to create a version of the world I want to live in. The journey isn’t perfect, but it certainly is beautiful.
