Ship’s Log: A Cambodian Adventure I Didn’t Mean to Have

Come hang out on Instagram!

In just a couple days we’ll be starting our trip

In just a couple days we’ll be starting our trip HERE with our little group of e-bikers! 🚴‍♀️

Over the past year+, we’ve put so much time & love into planning this trip together with Marco, our local guide from @basecamp523 .

📍And I’m so proud to be bringing 7 people from the US to the Marche region — a rural area of Italy that’s totally off the beaten path for American travelers, and actually wants more visitors.

(Unlike Venice, for example, just about 200 miles north, but a world away in terms of tourism, and flooded with more visitors than it can reasonably, sustainably handle.)

Can’t wait to share more!

Have you been to central Italy? 🇮🇹

The most sustainable food is the most local food y

The most sustainable food is the most local food you can get your hands. 🙌 Plus it’s the best for your health, and for the local economy!

And Vermont is one place where it’s really possible to eat local.

These are a few of the excellent farm stands we visited in western Vermont, but there are tons of them scattered all over the state! Any others you recommend?

Vermont farm stands in this video (SAVE this reel for your future trip!):

- Blue Ledge Farm — goat cheese, lots of accompaniments 🧀 @blueledgefarm

- Triple K Farm — jellies, pork and beef, eggs, maple syrup, goats to pet 🐐 (Not on IG. Location: 433 Leicester-Whiting Road, Whiting, VT 05778)

- MoSe Farm — Raw milk & humane veal 🥛 @mose_farm

Where else in the world do you find lots of local food?

August spilled out like a bottle of wine – wait

August spilled out like a bottle of wine – wait is that something we’re all saying now? Am I still (ironically or actually?) demure? What’s happening out there? Hello, internet, it’s me, Ketti.

I spent August hiding from cell service in the woods of Vermont, exploring more of New England, and generally taking it easy. What about you?

After pretty much taking the summer to let my heart recover, I have a lot to catch up on here – 🇨🇳China, 🇱🇹 Lithuania, local adventures, more plastic-free things, and (after next week!) our group trip in Italy! 🚴

For now, please enjoy some iPhone snaps of August, featuring:

🐘 Elephant kisses in Newport, Rhode Island
⛴️ Long bike ride to a short ferry in Boston (should have pedaled harder)
🖼️ Art in New Bedford, Mass.
♣️ Card games at the cabin
🌮 Best tacos in Vermont?
🐄 Vermont farm stands (more on those tomorrow!)
💋 Facials w/ mom (so much product, soooo shiny)
🪞 Proof that I pretty much wear the same clothes every day. (Breaking the rules of #SecondHandSeptember , except for that thrifted skirt, with a new favorite T from @able and sandals from @poppybarley . Exceptions are OK. New things from ethical & sustainable brands can be a nice treat.)

Ready now for a new season. ☺️

Did you know normal mascara tubes are *not* recycl

Did you know normal mascara tubes are *not* recyclable? (Same for almost all small cosmetics packaging, for the reason I explain in the vid.)

Ooh, and stick around for the Bonus Fun Fact at the end.

(And yes, yes, I do also have a rec for the refillable, plastic-free dental floss. 😁)

PART 5 in this series: This is the “Essential Macara” (refillable🙌 and works wonderfully without smearing) from @elatecosmetics (another woman-owned, vegan cosmetics company.)

✨DISCOUNT CODE: TILTEDMAP for 10% off your entire order.

I’ve been using this tube for a few months now, and can tell you why I like it over other refillable mascara options if you’re interested. Also have several other Elate products that I need to start testing, so stay tuned.

Welcome to grumpy morning Ketti. 🤗 DID YOU KNOW

I mean, where else can you watch a makeup “tutor

I mean, where else can you watch a makeup “tutorial” with the phrase “that’ll work”?? 🤭

PART 3: This is Elate’s “creme concealor.” (Comes in 9 shades.🎨) As a master of packing light, I use the sample size for travel, but I can show you the bamboo compact at home, too, if you want to see it. (It’s plastic-free and refillable of, course!)

✨Code: TILTEDMAP for 10% off at @elatecosmetics .

💡 Easily recyclable sample sizes of products = try before you buy and create less waste! Save money! Avoid collecting a stash of “not quite right” items that build up in your cabinet!

💡💡 This, too, is #UnderconsumptionCore. You don’t have to entirely give up buying things you enjoy. Let’s just relearn the wasteful habits that have the default for far too long. Thanks to a ton of genuinely innovative small business, there really are fabulous alternatives out there now – no DIYing your skincare/ makeup/ cleaning products required.

Part 4 coming tomorrow! 💄

PLASTIC-FREE MAKEUP from sustainable, vegan, woman

PLASTIC-FREE MAKEUP from sustainable, vegan, woman-owned brands.

PART 2: @earthharbor ’s “eclipse” mineral sunscreen. ✨ Discount code: EHtiltedmap for 20% off any order.✨

(I haven’t even gotten to the actual“makeup” yet, but we’re laying the foundation — this is the refillable sunscreen I’ve been buying for years. Mineral = no chemicals that are toxic to marine life. Refillable = a lot of packaging waste saved. 🎉)

Questions?

Part 3 coming tomorrow!
