After spending several years in a tiny Chicago apartment, a couple years in a house in the burbs, and now almost four years on our organic farm - I can tell you with certainty that living holistically and sustainably is possible anywhere. No matter what size my home was, I was able to teach myself how to be a conscious consumer and do better by my health and the earth.
There is a dizzying amount of information out there on how to get started with this lifestyle. When I started my journey over a decade ago, I remember wishing there was one simple and straightforward guide. I wanted one single resource that would show me exactly what products to swap, which habits to change, and how to detox my home in order to live more holistically and sustainably. Since that didn't exist back in 2009, I started on my own. I read as many books as I could get my hands on, I researched everything from toxins in my cleaning supplies to how to cut down on waste, and I tested hundreds of eco-friendly products. When I first began this lifestyle, friends and family looked on with mild curiosity. Ten years later, I am the first person my friends and family call with earth-friendly and holistic living questions. Whether it's what toxin-free mattress they should buy or how can they find organic grass-fed beef from a local farmer. You want to know why? |
- Because they saw the way I transformed my life and they want this life for themselves.
- I healed my body by detoxing my home.
- I cleared up my brain fog by cutting out the crap and changing up my habits.
- I saved my family thousands of dollars by spending less and choosing well.
- I felt more connected to my community than ever before by shopping locally.
What was my life like before I started my holistic and sustainable living journey?
I felt like my body was going to self-destruct. I had constant brain fog, everything I ate felt like it was out to get me, I was always bloated, I battled severe adult acne, and I couldn’t get a good night’s sleep to save my life. Top all that off with my anxiety being through the roof - I was at the end of my rope and I was only 20 years old.
Then I was diagnosed with Celiacs and my world flipped upside down. In that moment I could have played the victim, but I used it as an invitation to take a closer look at my life, my surroundings, and my habits.
So I started with food. I created a simple and manageable method that helped me organize grocery shopping and eat healthier. I taught myself how to make better cooking decisions in the kitchen and have successfully used these tricks for nearly a decade with ease.
Next I doubled down on beauty and body care products. Over the last five years I've created the best DIY recipes for makeup, skincare, and haircare as well as tested over 100 organic and natural products. I know what works and why when it comes to beautiful, healthy, glowing skin and hair.
Then I worked on my everyday household items - from cleaning supplies to bedsheets. I developed natural and effective DIY recipes for everything from drain cleaner to potty powder. I've tried over 150 companies worth of organic clothing, fair trade footwear, and sustainable decor. In doing so, I compiled an exclusive list of the best companies and products that put our health and the earth's wellbeing first.
Lastly I drew a fine toothed comb through my everyday habits at home and it was like the final piece to the puzzle of how to heal my body. These were such easy habit changes that had a huge payoff for my wellbeing and I realized that no one else was trying them.
When I took stock of everything that had changed in my life, I realized I had cleared up my acne, nixed my shopping habit, saved a ton of money in doing so, experienced deep restorative sleep every night, and reduced my anxiety immensely.

But the benefits didn’t stop there.
The more I cleared the nasty stuff out of my home, the more I realized that a toxin-free and holistic life meant a life that was in line with what was best for the planet. I discovered all the habit changes I needed to make were not only about bettering my health, but healing our world too. Not only did I get healthier, but I was making a positive impact on the world around me!
This is the true meaning of holistic - realizing we are part of a whole.
In my ten-year journey, I learned first-hand all the opportunities there were in my own home to do better for my health, and in turn, the health of the planet. From the kitchen to the bedroom, I use this holistic mindset daily to live a vibrant and healthy life that also takes care of the earth.

"Imagine you have an amazing friend who up and started her own adorable, eco-friendly farm and knew everything about living your best life in tune with Mother Nature - and was also somehow really not annoying about it. Reading The Holistic Home is like that - it’s inspired me to make my home a healthy, happy sanctuary, even in the bustle of New York City, in ways I never even thought of before. It’s helped me take the reins on my own holistic home. My husband ran out of deodorant the other day, and I whipped him up a batch from scratch! He was completely amazed and it made us both feel proud, happy, and self-sufficient - plus our pits smell and feel great. Her willingness to joyfully live a better life out loud has made me excited and willing to, too! We’re making really fun changes around our house that make us feel great and help the earth, and now we’re spreading the love. Thank, you thank you for this wonderful book! "

"When I read The Holistic Home it felt like Kelsey was my personal, loving, eco-friendly, holistic living coach. She made me feel so at ease with all the information she presents, which is a lot. It totally blew my mind how much is wrong with products I have trusted for so long or habits I thought had no effect on the world, but she has this way of not making you feel guilty and helping you realize you have a say in helping and fixing the world. I am so excited to try all the stuff she recommends, like making my own cleaning supplies and shopping at better clothing companies. I am so grateful for this book and I am telling everyone about it. Thank you Kelsey for all your hard work, you inspire me!"

"I was so excited to order Kelsey’s book. I’ve been working on making my house greener ever since I was diagnosed with PCOS and struggled with infertility. Kelsey makes being eco-friendly so very easy. She has done all the work and research for you! (I’m planning to print the page on recycling out so that everyone in my house knows what to look for.) I also have been using her handy cleaning recipes and my house smells amazing! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to make sustainable, more eco-friendly choices. "

The Holistic Home ebook was so useful yet so straightforward—page after page of simple, easy-to-implement sustainability tips that will improve your life (and the Earth) without having to break the bank. My favorite thing about this ebook is that it contains links to websites, sources, and products to help me make better choices for my family and the environment."

"This was the best book I’ve read in a while! I always felt like I ran an eco-friendly household, but this book was very eye opening to what I could improve on. Some times doing things the eco-friendly way can feel overwhelming, but Kelsey really breaks it down room by room and makes it all easier to understand. Beautiful book with a beautiful message behind it. Thanks Kelsey!"

I provide a range of products in some instances too so that you have budget friendly options if things are on the more expensive side.

Yes! The content is not one-sided by any means. Aside from toxin-free makeup, capsule wardrobe recommendations for women, and sustainable menstrual options the information provided applies to both sexes.
