Holiday Gift Wrap. Let’s do it the right way

  • Since I was a teenager, my mum would tell me to put peppermint oil on my head when I got a headache. And up to this day, I still do it. It kinda has an icey-hot vibe if that makes any sense, but it really does help to ease the pain. _ Peppermint oil is also great for making your own mouthwash and toothpaste, making it a solid part of any zero waste arsenal. _ As I think about all the different uses it has, this one bottle actually saves me a ton of money, eliminating the need for painkillers, mouthwash and toothpaste. And it gets rid of a ton of unnecessary waste from the single-use plastic used to package all of those products. _ Do you have any multi-purpose products like this in your low waste routine? I’d love for you to share them below, and hopefully give others some ideas too. _ _ _ #askmamaeco #zerowasteliving #ecoliving #consciousconsumer #consciousliving #sustainableliving #environmentallyfriendly #minimalista #nontoxicliving #simplify #ecoblogger #goingzerowaste #lowwaste #lowimpact #ecowarrior #ecolifestyle #carbonfootprint #lesswaste #reducewaste #purchasewithpurpose #buylesschoosewell #allnaturalproducts #zerowastetips #zerowastejourney #lowwasteliving #zeroplastic #wastefreeliving #sustainablelife #zerowastechallenge #fewerbetter
  • I’m gonna be honest with you, some sustainable swaps can be a real pain in the arsss, but others are actually really easy…like buying plastic-free stationary that can either be recycled or composted once its reached its end. _ Take this highlighter pencil. It works just as good as a regular highlighter, sharpens itself without even needing a sharpener, and has pencil shavings that can be composted. And at less than a dollar a pop, it also doesn’t cost you any more than a regular plastic highlighter would. So the real question is: why not… _ Tell me…what are some of the easiest eco-swaps you’ve made in your #zerowastejourney ? _ _ _ #askmamaeco #zerowasteliving #ecofriendlyproducts #nowaste #ecoliving #consciousconsumer #consciousliving #plasticfree #goingzerowaste #lowwaste #ecowarrior #ecolifestyle #lesswaste #plasticfreeliving #ecoconscious #compostable #zerowastetips #lowwasteliving #zeroplastic #wastefreeliving #trashfree #zerowastechallenge
  • If nothing else sticks and your new years resolutions don’t make it past January, just remember this quote. All that matters is what you do from today. _ For me, this quote is about freeing myself of regrets, releasing my guilt about the waste I’ve created in the past, and focusing on what I can do today, just today. The rest can fall any-damn-where it wants to. _ _ _ #askmamaeco #sustainableliving #zerowaste #reducereuserecycle #minimalista #livesimply #simpleliving #consciousconsumer #ecoliving #nowaste #goinggreen #ecoconscious #sustainablelifestyle #lowimpact #zerowasteliving #nontoxicliving #consciousliving #newyearsresolution2019
  • I just spent the better half of an hour driving around trying to find package free food in. And boy, let me tell you, it was tough. _ Some groceries were closed (since it’s a Sunday afternoon), and the ones that were open literally had everything in styrofoam and plastic. _ This trip has shown me how tricky it can be to stay in line with your values (and dietary restrictions!) when traveling. _ I was able to get a few things, like these pimentos, but I felt like I was caving in on quality and price for the sake of package free and local. I know there’s no easy answer here and it’s just trial and error but boy is this exhausting. Not to mention the gas I burned while on this little scavenger hunt. _ I’m feeling a bit frustrated but I wanted to share this experience with you because the struggles are just as important to share as the wins. _ #sustainableliving #plasticfree #goingzerowaste #zerowasteliving #zerowaste
