Why Is Cotton Better Than Polyester?
For this blog, I want to explain the importance of choosing natural fibers and why they are better for you, the environment, and your closet. Let’s take cotton and polyester.

Happy Earth Day And Fashion Revolution
This week is a big week for the Earth. With Earth day today and Fashion Revolution happening all week, I thought I’d take some time to explain why carrying sustainable brands means so much to me and the Earth. Since I was a kid, I always remember being connected to nature.
To Nala
I got Nala when she was 6 weeks old. We were living in Costa Rica at the time, so she was a tica puppy. She seemed to love us as soon as I brought her home, which always seemed like a miracle.

How To Live With a Broken Wing
It only takes five minutes for your life to be turned completely upside down. I was reminded of this harsh fact on Christmas Day. This December, marked the first year since I started rollerskating.

Home holds a lot of different meanings for everyone. Home is a place you lay your head down at night. Home is four brick walls, a manicured lawn, and a white picket fence. Home is a feeling, a person, a sense of belonging. It’s everything.
Our Roots
Meadow Collective was born 15 years ago, but its story started way before the shop opened. Ever since I can remember, I’ve had an entrepreneurial spirit. Growing up, I remember making little bracelets and selling them to my friends. I remember selling fruit I picked off our trees on the sidewalk. This was the beginning of everything.
