A few weeks ago, I decided to dish on my low-waste beauty products in a ‘get ready with me’ style IGTV video. I was heading to UC Berkeley to guest lecture, and I always wear a bit more makeup when it comes to being on stage with lights. I thought it was the perfect time...
Conventional toothpaste is packaged in plastic tubes, and can contain some questionable ingredients which is a double whammy for the environment and our health. The truth is you don’t need all those unpronounceable ingredients to get that ‘clean teeth’ feeling. In fact, most dentists say the most important part of brushing your teeth is the...
This is going to be a quick blog post to share five easy zero waste swaps for the bathroom – these five swaps are great for beginners. I’m trying to write short blog posts to accompany all of my YouTube videos, and this is a follow up to a post I did a couple month’s...
Pre-zero waste, my hair care routine consisted of so many different products that honestly didn’t do much for it. Plus, most of them were packaged in plastic and full of questionable ingredients. It was an ‘ah ha’ moment, when I realized most of the products I was using weren’t necessary. Your hair care routine doesn’t...
You will find a common theme throughout my instagram feed – smiles! Lots and lots of smiles. When I say “Breaking zero waste living down into a step-by-step process with lots of positivity and love,” I mean it! And, I got the smiles to prove it. <3 Dental hygiene and having a bright, white smile...
Even if I’m speaking at a middle school, one of the first questions I always get asked, “Is how do you handle your periods?” May 28th is Menstrual Hygiene Day, so I thought it was the perfect time for a complete guide to zero waste periods. There are a number of ways to have a...
I am so excited to be working with Who Gives A Crap again. If you remember, I did a post last December focusing on their Bamboo Holiday Line. This post was sponsored by Who Gives A Crap, as always all thoughts and opinions are my own. For more information please see my disclosure page. This...
I’m so excited to take you on a tour of my minimal (ish) and zero waste bathroom. It’s not very large and there’s not too much stuff in it, but without further adieu… When you walk into the bathroom, our shower/bath combo is on the right. On the left you see our wicker hamper, and...
Let’s talk toilet paper. We don’t use as much of it as we used to thanks to our bidet attachment. I bought a 24 roll box of Who Gives a Crap eight months ago, and finished the last roll yesterday so Who Gives a Crap couldn’t have timed their gift any more perfectly. This post...
A few years ago, I started my natural living journey. I turned to DIY not just because it felt safer, but also because it’s cheaper. I like knowing exactly what’s in my products, and I’m always down for saving my pennies! Plus, I think making zero waste makeup is a really fun challenge! RELATED: How Going...
If you’ve been following me on Instagram, (which you should be, you can follow me here) you know that I’m working on a honeymoon post. I have a whole bunch of posts on the wedding (see below), but I’ve been hesitant to post about the honeymoon because we all know what happens on honeymoons. I’m a...
The two most popular questions I get asked are, “What do you do about toilet paper?” and “How do you handle your period?” I have talked about periods extensively. Make sure to check out my post how to have a zero waste period. Did you know it takes 37 gallons of water to make one...
I love simple solutions that can be made from my own backyard. In my latest skin care post, I talked about buying products I love and then working on a DIY version that mimics the store bought one. Some things are difficult to DIY like foundation and concealer. I would never recommend you making those. It’s...
I’m frequently asked about zero waste skin care and makeup products. I’ve decided to split this into two separate posts because there’s A LOT of information. If you’ve been following the blog long, you’ll know that my kryptonite is Credo Beauty. You can read all about my first trip here. I would blame my friend,...
