TalloTalk #5: Bridging the gap between the styling and low-tox living worlds
Ola Ladies,
For those of you who don’t know, I used to be a stylist before starting my low-tox living journey and launching the original TalloHouse balm. This week I had a big realisation that I can’t and won’t leave my styling behind. I know that I can use my knowledge and expertise to help women in the low-tox living space too.
Using my styling experience when it comes to making better clothing choices
Over the last few years, I’ve started choosing better fabrics to protect my skin and what goes in and on it. It’s not something that gets talked about enough - how clothing is part of a low-tox lifestyle too. Your skin is your largest organ. What you wear matters.
I know from speaking to many people, that many women want to do the same for themselves and their family. So, I will be sharing more brands that I’ve tried, tested and love when it comes to clothing that contains less toxic chemicals.
My shop your wardrobe ethos lives on!
I’ve always advocated for shopping your wardrobe. Even styling clients or talking on Instagram, I focused on timeless clothing that suited your body shape.
But I saw things shift. I watched the rise of fast fashion hauls, influencer culture and rampant overconsumption, which literally made me shrivel up inside.
Through growth and realisations, my heart was left empty and I realised I could no longer show up in that space. So, I left it behind. Having time away from that part of my life, I know that at the heart of what I did was helping women. I never cared about trends, I only cared about timeless styling and helping women feel their absolute best during the changes in their lives.
Bridging the gap between the styling and low-tox living worlds
When we talk about energy, natural, I don’t know about you but it has always conjured up a hippy type person in my mind. I knew that I’d always care about styling and have had to come to terms with the fact that I’m never going to be a hippy, so I’m here to bridge the gap between the two worlds.
That’s why I want to weave a bit of a styling element into this world I now find myself in. I absolutely care about low-tox living and step-by-step I’m making better choices for myself and my family.
