✨🍫SpOoKy BLOODY CUPS for Halloween ✨🎃

✨🍫SpOoKy BLOODY CUPS for Halloween ✨🎃

Happy Monday, all! How are you on this fine Autumn day? I am excited to share a fall-inspired recipe with you.

These “Bloody Cups” are like peanut butter cups, but filled with a raspberry sauce, making them the perfect spooky treat for Halloween 👻! They are vegan, gluten-free and only need 3 ingredients.

R E C I P E
➵ 1 cup raspberries (ideally frozen) ➵ 1 tablespoon maple syrup ➵ 1 cup + 3/4 cup vegan baking chocolate (or chocolate chips)

I N S T R U C T I O N S
➵ Heat your frozen raspberries in a small pot on medium-high heat until soft. Then, mash the raspberries until all of the large chunks are gone. Now, add your maple syrup, give it a good mix, and set it aside to cool.
➵ In a double boiler, melt 1 cup of the chocolate. Meanwhile get your reusable tartlet mold ready (I found a silicone tartlet mold at a store nearby). ➵ Pour melted chocolate in half of each mold, then place in the fridge for a few minutes (until the chocolate hardens). ➵ Now, melt your remaining 3/4 cup of chocolate in the double boiler. Remove your mold from the fridge to now add a dollop of the raspberry filling (place it in the middle). ➵ Lastly, pour your remaining chocolate over each tartlet and place back in your fridge for each cup to Harden (give it 10 minutes).
➵ Carefully remove your cups from the mold and enjoy 😋

With love,
Marina

Do you feel connected to the clothes you wear? If

Do you feel connected to the clothes you wear? If you asked me this 5 years+ ago, my answer would have been… not really, no. For much of my life, I thought I was indifferent towards fashion— like I didn’t have the fashionista gene. As it turns out, it isn’t all fashion that I lack interest for, it is just conventional fashion, aka fast fashion.

When I embarked on my low waste + mindful living journey in 2015, I made a vow to carefully look at every aspect of my life and determine where I could improve. That meant food, personal care products, energy use, etc. As I looked at fashion, I began asking myself questions like, who made my clothes? and what resources were required to make this garment? What I found was not pretty. Not only is the fashion industry one of the largest polluting industries in the world, it is also an industry with great suffering, as the core workers behind the scenes are often exploited, overworked, underpaid and underage.

So I began my journey to slow fashion. What I found was story, purpose, ethics and heart that moved me, and inspired a newfound excitement for fashion and style that I didn’t even know I had. This looked like roaming about vintage boutiques and picking up one-of-a-kind items, or if buying something new, supporting businesses who shared my values.

@wearpact was one of the first brands I discovered when looking for new items of clothing, and I was over the moon excited about their business practices. Not only do they offer fair trade pieces which protect and uplift people and the planet, they also offer organic clothing. The organic cotton maxi dress you see me sporting here is one of many pieces they offer which uses 91% less water than non-organic cotton and sustains the health of soils, ecosystems, and people by using natural farming processes.

Have you ventured down the slow fashion path yet? If so, what’s a favorite item you’ve adopted into your wardrobe 👗👒👔? Feel free to answer below, or submit it on my IG stories where I will reshare it.

With love,
Marina
PS- I will be saving my discount code ecogoddess (20% off) to Pact in my “Discount Codes” highlight to save ya some. Enjoy 🍁

I am transfixed by the intricate beauty of leaves.

I am transfixed by the intricate beauty of leaves.

The delicate patterns of their veins
The way they smile and come to life when held up to the sunlight
How playful they look when dancing in the wind

It’s no wonder Autumn 🍂 is my favorite time of year. Do you have a favorite season? Do share below 🙂 & happy Friday to you.

Ps- get excited for some autumn-inspired sustainable fashion, wellness and recipe posts coming to the EG YouTube channel and blog these coming months.

With love,
Marina

🌍CO-CREATING A NEW WORLD🌍 ...A world where

🌍CO-CREATING A NEW WORLD🌍

...A world where sustainable and ethical businesses are the normal and people live in harmony and symbiosis with the planet.

In 2010, my friends over at @prAna implemented a grassroots approach to reducing plastic in their packaging. They call this approach the Responsible Packaging Movement (RPM), an instrumental technique to actively eliminate single-use plastic and virgin forest fiber from their packaging. Since 2010, they’ve completely reimagined product packaging while organizing an industry-wide shift towards responsibly made options. Their goal is to completely eliminate plastic from their consumer packaging by 2021, as well as eliminate use of materials from ancient and endangered forests by 2022, and virgin forest fibers by 2025. BEYOND epic, right?

#sponsored Today I share with you this exciting news with an invitation. As prAna has joined forces with nonprofit organizations like 5 Gyres and Canopy to amplify and accelerate their efforts within RPM to #ReshapePackaging, I am getting on here to invite you to join us in the fight for a more sustainable, just and thriving world.

Some ways I like to do my part:
-Going paperless, from mail, to bank statements, to receipts, etc.
-Reducing plastic and paper products as much as possible
-Using reusable cloths, handkerchiefs, utensils, etc. instead of virgin single-use options
-Buying produce and snacks from the farmer’s market, package-free

What are some of your favorite ways to do your part? Or better yet, what commitments do you have moving forward? Through uplifting and supporting each other on our low waste lifestyle journeys, both as individuals and as larger entities and industries, we can shift our unsustainable reliance on the earth’s finite resources and build a world where we can live in complete symbiosis with the planet.

VOTE EARTH! 🗳✨🌍 We are facing an environme

VOTE EARTH! 🗳✨🌍 We are facing an environmental crisis that requires an urgent and transformative response. The urgency has never been greater, and the stakes have never been higher. We face mass extinction of species, catastrophic pollution of oceans, destruction of communities and displacement of millions. We are in the midst of an environmental emergency, and the clock is ticking. To meet this moment, we must seize one of the most powerful tools we have as individuals: our right to vote. We need political action for our planet, to defend the environment and ensure a life for future generations.

Did you know 1 in 4 people aren’t registered to vote? In addition, 65 million Americans didn’t vote in 2018 due to registration problems, and 42% of unregistered voters ages 18-24 said they:

○ Didn’t know how
○ Kept forgetting
○ Didn’t have time
○ Had recently moved

If there’s one thing I hope you’ve gained from the videos, DIY recipes and other content I share on the Eco Goddess platform, it’s that if we don't demand change and actively fight for it, change will not occur. The same applies for our political activism. If we voters don’t demand environmental leadership, politicians won’t supply it. It’s time to put the health of our communities, our air, our water and our land on the ballot. Please join me and #VoteEarth by educating yourself about current issues and our present political landscape, pledging to vote, registering to vote, voting early and recruiting friends and family to the same. I have included many resources in my stories (all of which are saved in my highlight section: ‘VOTE’) where you can learn how to find a healthy, safe and secure way to cast your ballot this year, important upcoming dates, and more.
