How to Create a Sustainable Wardrobe | Fast Fashion Series III

One of the major concerns about creating a sustainable wardrobe comes with the cost associated. On my last post, How to be a Conscious Consumer I received a lot of comments in regards to the price of more sustainable clothing pieces.

How to Be a Conscious Consumer | Fast Fashion Series II

It seems to happen magically… the collection of clothing. You never really realize how much you have until you fill up two or three garbage bags full and wonder how the heck you collected so much crap.

I‘ve never been an on-trend person when it comes to the fashion industry. In fact, I generally couldn’t give a rats ass about fashion on the best day.

Congratulations 👏 one step in the right direction!

Staying sane in self isolation 🤪

This time spent with my toddler has certainly been a gift. We've had some amazing days (potty trained, heyyooo!) and some bad days (low morale.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On top of working, I've been trying to balance some play time for her. So we tried homemade paints from a recipe on Facebook.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
0/0 would not recommend. The flour, salt and food colouring mixture creates a huge salty mess and ruins paint brushes. 😬
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, my toddler enjoyed it. You win some, you lose some. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I wonder what people in the 50's would think if we I wonder what people in the 50's would think if we told them that in the 21st century we're going to be using handheld smart computers connected to satellites to take pictures of cloth pads. 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All jokes aside, having a low waste period is easy peasy. I love having cloth pads as a backup for my menstrual cup on heavy days. Or just on light days.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They are easy to care for. Rinse after use, store in a wetbag, wash in cold water and hang dry. 🤯 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Convenience waste when it comes to Aunt flow is unnecessary! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Slightly unrelated, what's your go-to snack/comfort food? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Ecosia is a search engine that uses its earnings to plant trees where we need them most. Even better, they are transparent about each dollar. 🤑

So instead of Googling your health symptoms you can gain some reassurance from @Ecosia while helping the planet win-win!

I've never been more excited to remove gunk from b I've never been more excited to remove gunk from between my teeth 🤣

Did you know that "traditional" dental floss is made from Nylon fiber? Something that you cannot recycle and will eventually degrade into more microplastics. So not only is the typical floss packaging trash, so is the floss itself. 😵
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WELL. Before you explain to your dentist that you don't floss because you want to save the fishies I have a better option: natural silk dental floss (and it's refillable!) 💃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@oath_essentials has made the search for ethically sourced floss so much easier. They're an honest and transparent company. I just can't but help be overjoyed by something as mundane as tooth floss 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be honest, how often do you floss your teeth? 😉
