MY APPROACH
LIVE SIMPLY.
LIVE SMART.
Hey there, and welcome to Kudaidti!
I’m Hailey, and this blog is my journey into a life of DIY, self-sufficiency, and sustainability. I believe that modern convenience has made us forget some of the most valuable skills humans once relied on—how to grow our own food, make what we need, and live with less. Whether you’re looking to start a small urban garden, embrace minimalism, or go fully off-grid, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned along the way.
MY STORY
Why I Started This Blog
I didn’t always live this way. Like most people, I was caught in the cycle of buying, consuming, and depending on big industries for the things I needed. But I started to feel disconnected—from my food, from my work, and from the world around me. That’s when I decided to take a step back and learn how to be more self-reliant.
At first, it was just a small experiment: growing my own vegetables, making simple homemade products, and questioning what I really needed to be happy. But the deeper I got into it, the more I realized how powerful it is to take control of your own resources. Now, I’m passionate about sharing these skills with others who want to live a more intentional, independent, and sustainable life.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
