I am madly in love with my Native Shoes x Beth Richard Audrey shoes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not only are they beautiful, light, waterproof and comfy, they are local! Located on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh First Nations, Native Shoes are completely vegan (proudly animal free!!) AND recyclable (as part of their Remix Project, at their Vancouver store).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It is important to me to make an impact on the world, while impacting the earth as little as possible. These shoes allow me to feel that I am making a difference by supporting a Vancouver-based organization with the same goals. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #zerowaste #vegan #local #bipoc #againstanimalcruelty #supportlocal #native #firstnations #buylocal #canadian #vancouver #shoplocal #ethical #love #green #pretty #style #smallfootprint #reduce #reuse #recycle #savetheearth #thereisnoplanetb #motherearth #knowbetterdobetter #indigenous #rainbow #firealarmfriday #vmtop30 #blogger
Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity.
I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books.
A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids.
My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!)
I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is.
My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit.
I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
