Gentle, realistic habits I try to practice to live a little more sustainably in the long-term.
These soft reusable and washable pads replace thousands of cotton rounds.
Switching to reuasble cotton rounds
Quick showers, turning off the tap while brushing, and collecting water for plants
Use water mindfully
Choosing refillable and cruelty-free products, and using multipurpose items to reduce waste.
Using eco-friendly products and beauty swaps
Made the switch to exfolitaing silicone brushes because loofahs are a breeding ground for germs and bacteria eww
Swapping out loofahs for silicone body scrubbers
Buying less and build a capsule wardrobe, opting for quality over quantity, and investing in second-hand or vintage pieces.
Making conscious wardrobe choices
Gifting, donating, recycling or selling items I no longer use every seaon. Facebook marketplace ftw!
Organizing and de-cluttering with purpose
I keep cute, practical reusables items on hand like shopping/grocery bags, micro-fibre cloths. etc on hand so I never rely on single-use items.
Use reusable items wherever possible
Journaling, note-taking, and lists in a reusable notebook or digital planner to save paper, and opting for digital bank statements, bills, and subscriptions to minimize paper wastage.
Mindful paper use
Refilling soaps, shampoos, and cleaning products whenever possible to cut down single-use packaging, and reusing old containers for storage, and organizing.
Refill, and reuse regularly
Conserving energy by switching off lights when leaving a room and unplugging devices like chargers, and heavy appliances when not in use
Turn off lights and unplug electronics
Investing in timeless pieces, building a capsule wardrobe, thrifting, or swapping clothes instead of relying on fast fashion.
Slow Fashion Choices
I try to walk, cycle, or using public transportation for short trips to reduce the reliance on cars.
