When I was in my first year of college I watched a video about a girl who lived a waste-free life. Her entire year’s worth of garbage fit into a small mason jar—I was completely baffled. How could someone live like this? At the same time, I was completely inspired. Since then I’ve looked for ways I can limit the amount of waste I contribute to the world and how I could live a more sustainable life.
One of the hardest aspects of living sustainably is how one handles fashion. The fashion industry is wasteful, whether we like it or not. But at the same time, I want to look nice. It’s an internal battle that I struggle with on a regular basis. That’s why I work hard to buy products that align with my values of fashionable sustainability.
That’s why I fell in love with JORD Watches.
JORD is a company that makes beautiful, handcrafted, wooden watches. That’s right friends, it’s a watch made from wood. And dozens of different kinds of wood! Bamboo, maple, walnut, sandalwood, rosewood, the list goes on. It’s paradise for anyone who wants a sleek, stylish, and cool watch, without compromising on quality or sustainability.
I chose a dark sandalwood watch with a mint face and have been effortlessly pairing it with outfits the entire summer. Not only is it completely sustainable, it’s also a perfect conversation piece. I’ve never been one to go along with the ho-hum fashion trends, so this unique timepiece is the best thing I’ve added to my accessory collection in years.
I want all of you to add a wooden watch to your collection, so I’ve partnered with JORD Watches to bring you a little contest! Visit the link below for your chance to win a $100 JORD gift code and bring home your own beautiful wood watch. Oh! And everyone who enters gets a $25 code, so we all win.
