Making and repairing things by hand can be extremely satisfying, as well as being a natural part of both a sustainable and a frugal lifestyle. That can be anything from making your own clothes, blankets and other handwork projects to renovating your own kitchen, making new furniture out of old, or even making and installing your own solar panels.
In 2010 Kirsten was on maternity leave with her third child, firmly established in suburbia, and needing an outlet for her passion for the environment & sustainable living. Thus Sustainable Suburbia was born.
In 2013 she took a redundancy from her public service job and completed her book, Less Toxic Living: How to Reduce Your Everyday Exposure to Toxic Chemicals, and made a PDF copy available for free download. By popular request she later created a kindle version (and it's available in paperback too).
In 2014 she joined with Norwex as an Independent Consultant, and found a new way to pursue her passion, teaching small groups of (mostly) women about how to get rid of many of the toxic chemicals in their homes.
In 2015 she discovered it could be even more rewarding to help other women pursue their goals, when she became a leader with Norwex.
In 2024 and beyond she plans to help even more people to ditch the nasty chemicals and find more sustainable ways to live.
