🌿 ABOUT ME

My name is Stella, I am based in California, but originally I am from Russia. I create videos on sustainability, conscious consumption, eco brands, and all things related to a (zero) low waste lifestyle. I don't consider myself a hardcore eco-blogger, I am a real person trying to figure out how to be sustainable and still enjoy life. My other interests are: being outdoors, surfing, exploring new places and new foods, cooking, plants, embroidery, books & geeking out on productivity hacks to cope with my add tendencies ;-)
