I’m an educator, a doctoral student in health and science communication, a creator, and a community builder. My work is all about helping women rethink beauty, fashion, and home products—not by following trends, but by making choices that align with self-care, sustainability, and well-being.
I’m into:
-
Researching how advertising has shaped beauty and fashion norms—often making them feel oppressive and demanding
-
Sharing what I learn in a way that inspires curiosity, not fear
-
Providing simple, science-backed swaps that drastically reduce chemicals in your home and body
To me, sustainable living isn’t about buying “green” products or living in fear of every ingredient—it’s about finding balance, making intentional choices, and redefining beauty and wellness on my own terms.
There’s no one approach to conscious consumption, but I hope we can explore together, leave the judgment behind, and build a lifestyle that feels good—one that makes us excited to wake up in the morning.
I Believe in
Ditching corporate beauty & fashion
Observing product-free days
Using products before buying more
Thrifting, Mending & Creating
Not Chasing Money
Ashlee Neumann is a doctoral student at The University of Texas at Austin researching at the intersection of advertising, consumer well-being, and sustainability. With a background in chemistry and STEM education, she investigates how advertising shapes how we see ourself, and the impacts of chemicals in everyday products on our health.
Passionate about helping women break free from toxic beauty norms, Ashlee creates content that challenges industry narratives and empowers people to make informed, intentional choices. Through her research, writing, and weekly Skinsabbath newsletter, she encourages a shift from overconsumption to a more mindful, balanced way of engaging with beauty and wellness.
