#27: Home cooking, sustainable sheets, and cozy layers

Welcome to issue #27 of The Home Catalog.

Looking for some home cooking tips and inspiration? 

Yesterday I spotted Shared Plates, a fun new series from Equal Parts that shares stories, signature dishes, and grocery lists from home cooking pairs.

Coming up this week: Two newly spotted brands (Loop Living and Looma), the perfect candle for those who want a little more space at home, The Inside's new take on the bohemian vibe, and our interview with Eucalypso founder Elle Liu. 

Cheers!

Behind the Brand with Eucalypso's Elle Liu

“I just love to sleep,” says Elle Liu.

But after a few months of not sleeping well and breakouts, a visit to the dermatologist sparked an idea that Liu would eventually transform into Eucalypso — an organic bedding brand made from natural eucalyptus.

“My dermatologist was saying my breakouts could have something to do with the sheets I was using,” recalls Liu. “I started doing more research and I discovered that the way cotton sheets are woven tends to trap sweat and bacteria; which causes things like sensitivity, breakouts, night sweats, and all of those things.”

During her research, Liu also discovered that cotton is one of the “dirtiest and thirstiest crops.” “It takes a lot of water and pesticides to grow and to harvest,” she says. So she set out to find an alternative that could be made in a more sustainable way and would allow people to sleep better.
