Lifestyle & Cosmos
Welcome to Lifestyle & Cosmos—a blog by Sustainaverse for the curious, the conscious, and the creators.
We don’t believe in staying in one lane; instead, we bring together the things that make a modern life meaningful:
-
Sustainable Style: We’re obsessed with fashion that feels good and does good. From the latest in eco-friendly fabrics to the stories behind the labels, we explore how to build a better wardrobe.
-
Living Well: Simple tips for a more intentional life. Whether it’s choosing better products or finding a slower pace, we’re all about making "conscious living" feel easy.
-
Digital Balance: In a world of endless scrolling, we talk about the joy of deep reading and how to stay sane in a digital-first world.
-
The Startup Life: We go behind the scenes of what it truly means to be an entrepreneur.
-
Space & Beyond: Space isn't just for scientists! We look at how space exploration is changing our future on Earth and what it means for how we’ll live tomorrow.
Our vibe: We believe that the way we live today—from the clothes we wear to the tech we use—shapes the world of tomorrow.

Participating as a woman in Space Tech
In my early 20s, I didn't realise that my interest in hobbies, music, movies, were slowly getting shaped by some men around me. I remember feeling quite a misfit in my initial days of master studies.
