  • Thinking Sustainably

    The key to a healthier lifestyle: start thinking sustainably... Sustainability isn’t just about using reusable shopping bags or taking a shorter shower. It’s about being conscious of the environment and our impact on it in all aspects of life. We live in a finite world, so learning to think sustainably is essential to preserving the planet for generations to come. But sustainability doesn’t have to be boring – here are some simple, fun, and creative ways to start thinking sustainably! Start small – an easy way to begin living more sustainably is by making small lifestyle changes that will add up over time. For example, turning off lights when you leave a room, unplugging appliances when not in use, and reducing water consumption can make a big difference. Additionally, switch out your lightbulbs for energy-efficient LEDs and buy products that have minimal packaging or are made from recycled materials whenever possible! Get outdoors – spending time outdoors is great for both your mental and physical health while helping preserve natural habitats at the same time. Going hiking or camping is an excellent way to explore nature while connecting with community members who share similar values around sustainable living. Plus, there are tons of activities like gardening and birdwatching that can be both educational and enjoyable! Support local businesses – buying locally-produced products helps reduce carbon emissions associated with long-distance shipping, boosts local economies, and provides jobs for people in your community. Shopping at farmers markets encourages healthy eating habits while also supporting sustainable agriculture practices like crop rotation – it’s a win-win! You can even look into eating vegan or vegetarian dishes which require less water and energy than their animal counterparts do for preparation. DIY your home décor – instead of buying items from big box stores that offer mass-produced furniture made from unsustainable materials like plastic or synthetic fibers, try making things yourself from recycled materials like wood pallets or old jars! Not only will this save you money but it could help give unique flair to your home décor while helping reduce waste too! If DIY isn’t your thing, visit thrift stores instead where you can find gently used items that would otherwise be thrown away. Use renewable energy sources – switching to renewable energy sources like solar power may seem intimidating at first but making the switch could actually save you money in the long run as well as significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional electricity sources like coal plants. If you don’t own a house but still want access to clean energy sources there are plenty of companies offering green energy plans where you can purchase renewable energy credits that go towards building new wind farms or solar panels elsewhere! Educate yourself – if you want to make real change towards living sustainably then education is key! Researching books about environmental issues can help you gain insights into how we got here as well as potential solutions for how we move forward together as stewards of the earth. Additionally subscribing to podcasts about sustainability topics will help keep up with current events related to environmentalism so you can stay informed on how politics affects our planet too! Thinking sustainably doesn’t have to be hard work – with these simple tips hopefully implementing sustainability into your daily life won't feel daunting anymore but rather empowering as we all strive toward creating a healthier environment for future generations! #sustainable #healthylifestyle #mercidupreclothiers #renewable #nature #environmentalfriendly

  • Photorealism: The Art of the Real

    Why Merci Dupre loooves photorealism Originating in the late 60’s and early 70’s, Photorealism is a style of art that strives to recreate the subject as realistically as possible. It can involve paintings, sculptures, or photography. I love photorealism because it challenges the traditional conventions of art and allows for an incredibly lifelike representation of a subject. Moreover, this type of art allows artists to pay attention to extremely minuscule details that might not be obvious at first glance – things like wrinkles in clothing or individual strands of hair. It's nostalgic!! Photorealism has become increasingly popular over the past few years, and part of the reason why it's so beloved is that it captures life with a level of realism not seen in other styles. The viewer almost feels as though they can walk into the painting or photograph – which creates an emotional connection between the work and its audience. Photorealism is also unique in its ability to capture a moment in time that will never be repeated again; something about those methods always retains a certain level of nostalgia for me. Photorealism in Fashion?! Furthermore, photorealism has become increasingly popular thanks to its use in fashion photography. Photographers have found ways to merge photorealistic paintings and photographs with fashion trends, creating truly stunning images that capture both worlds simultaneously. For example, many modern designer campaigns feature models posing against backdrops made up entirely of photorealistic artwork; these visuals are often able to transport viewers into another world while still remaining recognizable and relatable at the same time. Photorealism is one out favorite types of art because it illuminates beauty in everyday moments through incredibly lifelike representations. We think what makes this style so special is that no two pieces are ever alike; every image brings with it a unique perspective and emotion that will never be recreated again – making each piece all the more special! Additionally, We love how photorealism has been incorporated into fashion photography as well as even on some fashion– allowing for beautiful visuals that bridge together two distinct worlds and create something absolutely stunning! #Mercidupreclothiers #undertheredchandelier #drchristinarahm #photorealism #artisbeautiful #fashion #photography #real
