Living Wild & Green Practical, No-Guilt Sustainability
Hi, I’m Julieta — a licensed CPA in Miami Beach, wife, and mom to two boys. I started Living Wild & Green when I realized I didn’t know what was actually in the products I was bringing into my home. As someone who verifies financial claims for a living, I started applying that same analytical approach to ingredient labels, certifications, and sustainability reports. What I found surprised me: most “eco-friendly” and “clean” claims are unregulated marketing, and many products still contain ingredients I didn’t want near my family
I believe in conscious choices, clean products, and living in harmony with nature. Whether it’s a non-toxic swap for your home, a cruelty-free beauty find, or a way to reduce plastic without sacrificing convenience, you’ll find it here.
Why I Care About Getting It Right
Living in Miami Beach has shaped my eco journey. Being surrounded by the ocean, wildlife, and the raw beauty of nature has made me deeply aware of how much we need to protect it.
Buy, ” didn’t just want to reduce my environmental impact—I wanted to stop exposing my family to unnecessary chemicals and microplastics in everyday products.
Years ago, I was the person grabbing whatever was cheapest and vaguely “green.”
Then I started noticing the impact: harsh chemicals in my home and plastic washing up on the Miami Beach shoreline I walk by every day. Seeing that pushed me to dig deeper and do better.
As a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), I’m wired to look for facts and proof. I bring that same analytical mindset to sustainable living — reading the fine print, checking claims, and sharing what’s truly safer and lower impact, not just what’s trendy.
I’m practical, not perfect. Sustainable living is a journey, and some swaps are better (not flawless). I focus on better choices you can actually use in real life.
I believe that going green doesn’t mean going without. It’s about choosing better, not perfect.
