So, after two years without a hair cut, I chopped off my hair to a chin length bob. I only tend to have my hair cut once a year, and it grows pretty quickly, so this wasn’t too drastic a change for me. What was a change was that I then sent that hair offContinue reading “Donating My Hair”

My Haircare Routine
I’ve talked a bit about zero waste and low waste skin care before, but I’ve never really talked about haircare. This is mostly because I’ve been through a bit of trial and error, particularly over lockdown. So, this week I thought I’d breakdown what products I use on my hair and how I look afterContinue reading “My Haircare Routine”
Homemade Bath Salts
This week, I tried out a few recipes for the first time, and here is the first one! My mum loves baths, and she’s very keen on bath salts. Whenever I’ve bought her bath salts, I’ve tried to buy plastic free, sustainable etc – but what could be more sustainable than making them myself? ItContinue reading “Homemade Bath Salts”
Zero Waste Face Masks
As requested, today I’m going to be sharing some more zero waste skin care. The beauty industry is a huge culprit of giving us unnecessary plastic and convincing us that we need more and more products. A lot of the skincare we have, we don’t need, because it strips our skin of natural oils soContinue reading “Zero Waste Face Masks”
Sugar Scrubs
Hello! After talking about the coffee scrub the other day, I started looking at the other scrubs that I use in my own routine. One of the ingredients that came up a few times was sugar, so this week I’m going to tell you about 3 recipes that I use that involve sugar. They areContinue reading “Sugar Scrubs”
Coffee Scrub
This week, I wanted to share one of my favourite zero waste beauty products that you can make yourself. I’m a coffee drinker, and although I can compost the coffee grounds, it’s nice making them into something to use again. This scrub is great for exfoliating and moisturising the body – it’s not suitable forContinue reading “Coffee Scrub”
Sustainable Periods
A *touchy* subject for some unknown reason. Periods are uncomfortable and inconvenient enough as it is, so messing around with what methods work for you can be scary. I’m a pad/ tampon girl, finding that a combination makes me feel the most at ease. However, these products are packaged and made of plastic, and everyContinue reading “Sustainable Periods”
In the shower
I’m a shower person – always have been, always will be. Baths are just not my thing. Therefore, I really enjoy my showers and find them relaxing (particularly as I tend to shower at night). Some of the things that were hardest for me to change when I started to lower my waste were myContinue reading “In the shower”
Skin Care
One of the first things that I really had to work at changing when I decided to reduce my waste was skincare. I have always been really keen on trying lots of sheet masks, mud masks, new exfoliators and other unnecessary stuff. I also really enjoy wearing make-up and wear it almost every day, whichContinue reading “Skin Care”
