06) From Fast Fashion Addict to Sustainable Fashion Advocate and Blogger: My Journey: This episode is a bit different from previous ones! I'm sharing my journey from being somewhat addicted to fast fashion, shopping all of the time, to becoming a conscious consumer then sustainable fashion blogger and now a fashion activist and online business owner.
