A child of the slow lifestyle movement, For Conscious Consumers invites the overwhelmed and curious to find calm in the chaos of life through the practice of conscious consumption.
About us
Once a college fashion and lifestyle blog, we now create guides and reviews that make sense of conscious living through a curious, mindful, and light-hearted lens to encourage others to practice conscious consumption as a form of self-care.
Why For Conscious Consumers?
Many people are too exhausted, overworked, and stressed trying to stay ahead of bills and possible crises to consider what they consume internally and externally. It’s often much easier to shop out of convenience, doom scroll to escape reality, and explain away personal care. That’s where For Conscious Consumers comes in. The goal of our publication and newsletter is to inspire consumers to take care of themselves, others, and the planet with stories that decode conscious terms, trends, practices, and movements. We’re here to help modern-day consumers slow down, find their calm, and feel confident about making informed, empowered decisions without the overwhelm.
