Welcome, I’m so happy you’re here!
My name is Ranait and I am the proud owner of the Environista. I am 22 years old and a recent graduate of The School of Fashion at Kent State University where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Fashion Merchandising with dual minors in Marketing and Sustainability.
If you couldn’t tell from the name… fashion and the environment are two great passions of mine (hence the words environmentalist and fashionista combined). When I first thought of the idea to start a blog, I figured I would just focus on fashion (i.e. trends, styling) and throw in some sustainability tips along the way, but while studying in my first year of college, I quickly picked up how important sustainability is not only in the fashion industry, but also in our everyday lives. I created this blog to document my journey on living a cleaner and more sustainably driven life, and to hopefully inspire others to do the same!
The main idea here is that every small action counts. No one is perfect. As much as some of us may want to switch to a 100% sustainable lifestyle with the snap of some fingers… it doesn’t work like that. So that is why I am here! To act as your sustainable lifestyle and fashion guide!
Here you will find information ranging from sustainable and ethical companies to shop from, sustainable fashion practices and stylings, and much more! I want this to be a place where we can all connect and reflect on our everyday habits. If we all work together, change is possible within the fashion industry and in life in general, and… we can still look stylish while doing it. I promise!
So, are you ready to take the leap? Ready to live a more sustainable life? I hope so!
