Who wants pumpkin chili?! Opting for canned items over plastic isn’t just beneficial for the environment.🌎 Cans are a convenient, affordable and nutritious way to incorporate more beans, fruits, vegetables and other high fiber foods into your diet. #MetalCanChallenge Foods used for canning are picked at peak freshness and can be just as nutritious and delicious as fresh and frozen food. This is because canning preserves flavors and nutrients. In fact, the canning process can actually increase antioxidants. One of the best incentives to get cooking with cans today in the Metal Can Challenge? By participating in this challenge you will help provide canned food items to @philabundance. Each can you use = one can donated. Follow the link in my bio for more details on this challenge, this recipe and other Metal Can Challenge inspired eats. #FeedYourDivine #MeatlessMonday AD

As a creator, and just someone living in today’s modern world, I am on my phone and laptop everyday. When it comes to sustainability, I have to admit I think a lot less about electronics. Smartphones, tablets, laptops are all traditionally energy intensive, battery, plastic and chemical containing products that can be incredibly difficult to recycle properly. I’m thrilled to team up with @delltech to share their exciting advances in sustainability as well as some accessible tips: Repair: the most sustainable item is the one we already have! Before buying new, fixing the electronics you have helps save you money and preserve resources. @delltech has a repair program to help fix and update your electronics so you can love them longer. Recycle: According to the UN, less than 20% of electronics are recycled properly. @delltech has a free recycling program that accepts all types and brands of electronics - from ink cartridges and batteries, to laptops and monitors. These materials enter their supply chain and will be repurposed to create new products. Additionally, Dell is using reclaimed industrial waste in their production as well as working to redesign every part of their products so they can be recycled or reused rather than going to a landfill. Buy Sustainably: When it is time to buy, consider a product that is as durable and long lasting as it is sustainable. @delltech facilities are shifting to 100% renewable energy, using environmentally-responsible and recycled materials in addition to creating products that are incredibly energy efficient. Dell uses up to 87% post-consumer recycled materials, recovered ocean-bound plastics and have a commitment to reaching net zero GHG emissions. Together, we as individuals, alongside businesses like @delltech who are embracing corporate responsibility and creating the infrastructure for a circular economy, can protect and enrich our planet for generations to come. #ProgressMadeReal #Ad

What is your recent wellness win? Mine is enrolling with @penniePA and saving BIG on my health & dental insurance 🙌🏼 As you can see, I have a lot of moles and freckles. I’ve had several removed already which is why visiting my dermatologist for skin check-ups is something I do annually. Before enrolling with @penniePA, not only was I paying significantly more for an HMO but my co-pay at a specialist was $150. Now I have upgraded to a better plan and my specialist co-pay is only $15! As part of the American Rescue Plan Act, residents of Pennsylvania are eligible for similar savings like this through @penniePA - Pennsylvania’s Marketplace for health and dental insurance. Many will pay little to absolutely nothing for a plan and possibly an upgraded plan! Enrollment is now through August 15th.

Please share this post with friends, neighbors and loved ones and if you believe everyone deserves access to quality and affordable health and dental care. #PennieToTheRescue #Sponsored

What comes to mind when you think of preventative wellness? Exercise? Eating well? Mindfulness? How many think of health insurance? While it’s not discussed as often in the online wellness space, it’s hard to talk about wellness without noting the privilege and importance of having affordable access to the healthcare in this country. Which is why I am so thrilled to be partnering with @penniepa - Pennsylvania’s Marketplace for health and dental insurance. As part of the American Rescue Plan Act, residents of Pennsylvania are now eligible for savings and many will pay little to absolutely nothing for their healthcare plan! As a self-employed individual, I have been buying my own health Insurance policy for years now. I called Pennie in April and was able to upgrade to the best coverage I’ve had since leaving my parents plan 6 years ago while also paying significantly less. I still can’t believe it! Enrollment is now through August 15th. Click the link in my bio to see how much you could save when #PennieGetsYouCovered. Please share this post with friends, neighbors and loved ones and like if you believe everyone deserves access to quality and affordable healthcare. #PennieToTheRescue #Sponsored

Have you noticed a Community Refrigerator/Pantry pop up in or around your neighborhood? For those unfamiliar, this grassroots program is a community based approach to combating hunger, mitigating food waste and providing neighbors in need with food and other goods. Over the past year, food insecurity and inequity have soared to record numbers. In the US, 12% of the population are food insecure and now an estimated 50 million Americans are hungry and undernourished. In Philadelphia, food insecurity is at 21% with numbers in North Philly running as high as 30%. Grassroots initiatives such as community refrigerators and pantries can be an important means of providing goods and caring for our neighbors, especially during times of emergency and uncertainty. Additionally, other food sovereignty movements rightly deserve our attention, support, funding and donations as well. Food insecurity is one of the many devastating symptoms of our disastrous, unsustainable, industrialized food system - one that also promotes overconsumption, astronomical food waste, widespread injustice, environmental disaster and suffering to both humans and animals alike. It has so many of us living ignorant, isolated and/or completely disconnected from food origins. Even those who are deeply food-minded (from food bloggers to dietitians) can lack understanding of the deep intricacies, impacts and consequences of our current food system. Let’s not miss out on key ways to be part of meaningful change that can truly transform our food landscape. We need to demand a just and sustainable food system that doesn’t leave anyone out, and we need to do it together. The Food & Sustainability course through @nutritionstudies is an incredible opportunity to do just that. Click the link in my bio to learn more about this course and be part of a kinder, healthier and more equitable tomorrow ✌🏼
