Sapadilla Grapefruit + Bergamot Dish Soap | All Natural

Dish soap, we all use it… but do we really pay any attention to anything but the scent when we buy it?

Organicup Review | TMI

Step back Divacup (but not too far back!) Because there’s some serious cup competition here. After over a year of faithful use to my dear friend.

Divacup: Making the Switch

  This post contains affiliate links. All thoughts and opinions are my own! It took me a long time before I finally jumped into the world of using a menstrual cup.

  • Today is National nothing day. Literally a day to celebrate absolutely nothing. And honestly, I'm just going to interpret it as another "Buy Nothing" day. 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today, I will participate in the act of purchasing nothing. And embrace what life has already provided us. We have so much to be grateful for. ♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How about you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #consciousconsumer #ecoblog #sustainablelifestyle #lowimpactmovement #lowimpactliving #ecoliving #canadianbloggers #zerowastejourney #zerowasteblog #imperfectlyzerowaste
  • A safety razor has never looked more beautiful, in my humble opinion. 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's been over a year since I switched to using a safety razor and I have saved $62. 👏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not only that, but I've prevented at least 12 razor blades from piling up in the landfill. It seems like a small amount, but every bit counts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you switched to using a safety razor? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #consciousconsumer #ecoblog #sustainablelifestyle #lowimpactmovement #lowimpactliving #ecoliving #canadianbloggers #zerowastejourney #zerowasteblog #imperfectlyzerowaste #safetyrazor #frugalswap
  • We were planning this grand (albeit relatively small) wedding to take place at @waupoosislandcamp. It is an absolutely stunning venue. 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ However, this year we finally turned our focus to making our house a home. We decided to give the kitchen a face lift because it hasn't been done in 20+ years (the lime green walls and yellow ceilings speak for themselves.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So we cancelled our wedding which was slightly awkward, but whatevs. Then eloped on January 10, 2020. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It wasn't the romantic picturesque wedding I was dreaming about, but I am so very happy with our choice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Plus, it was a great low waste option. So win-win, right? 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S- How beautiful are these flowers from @coriandergirl that @ycdewit picked up for us? They are so very perfect. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am so grateful for having such amazing friends and family supporting us ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #consciousconsumer #ecoblog #sustainablelifestyle #lowimpactmovement #lowimpactliving #ecoliving #canadianbloggers #zerowastejourney #zerowasteblog #imperfectlyzerowaste #lowwastewedding #weddingbouquet #coriandergirl #justmarried #weeloped
  • Unpopular Opinion: Stale tooth tabs are better than fresh ones. 🙈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not gonna lie, I didn't love these tooth tablets when I first tried them. The "effervescent" fizzing just isn't my gig. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ However, I decided to give them a go long after the recommended two month best before date and have to say... They're great! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Am I weird? (I already know the answer.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I feel like they work so much better now that they're stale. But that probably doesn't justify repurchasing... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Canadian peeps, what is your favourite low waste toothpaste? ⬇️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #consciousconsumer #ecoblog #sustainablelifestyle #lowimpactmovement #lowimpactliving #ecoliving #canadianbloggers #zerowastejourney #zerowasteblog #imperfectlyzerowaste #nelsonnaturals #lowwastetoothpaste #zerowastetoothpaste #lowwasteoralhygiene #toothtablets
  • Today is National Drinking Straw day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All the cool kids drink water out of mason jars with a metal straw, so in celebration I decided to follow the herd. 🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Honestly, I rarely use these metal straws that I purchased years ago when I started to live an eco friendly lifestyle. But it taught me something very important. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just because everyone else says you need something to be sustainable/eco friendly/low waste doesn't mean you do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you never drink out of straws, don't buy metal ones. If you already own a water bottle, albeit not "fancy" then you don't need a new one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Purchasing anything we don't regularly use is still consumption. So even if it is a better alternative, if you're not going to use it don't invest in it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you purchased anything just because it was "sustainable" but never end up using it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #consciousconsumer #ecoblog #sustainablelifestyle #lowimpactmovement #lowimpactliving #nationalstrawday #ecoliving #canadianbloggers #zerowastejourney #zerowasteblog #imperfectlyzerowaste #nationaldrinkingstrawday #metalstraw ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (p.s. I liked both these pictures and couldn't decide. So you get both.)
  • Subscription boxes are my pet peeve. I'm sure you can guess why! 🙃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you're subscribed to some form of subscription box, start this year off right and cancel it! 👏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There's a new post on 5 reasons why you should ditch subscription boxes, if you haven't already. Link to the article is on my profile ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you feel about subscription boxes? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #consciousconsumer #ecoblog #sustainablelifestyle #lowimpactmovement #lowimpactliving #holidayseason #ecoliving #canadianbloggers #zerowastejourney #zerowasteblog #imperfectlyzerowaste *Image via Kadena Post Office labelled for reuse*
  • It looks like I've been lounging, but I've actually been hard at work! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2020 is less than 24 hours away 🤯 and so is the beginning of your life as a conscious consumer! 👏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've cooked up a super useful 2020 calendar for you to keep track of things that you want and purchased throughout the year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At the beginning of the month you begin by goal setting and at the end you review your purchases to see how well you did. 🏅 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's essentially a purchasing audit that will keep you informed on what you're welcoming into your lifestyle and understanding how clever marketing persuades you as a consumer! 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If becoming a conscious consumer interests you, click the link in my profile to download your FREE editable calendar through Google Sheets! 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy New Year, you conscious consumer, you! 🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #consciousconsumer #ecoblog #sustainablelifestyle #lowimpactmovement #lowimpactliving #holidayseason #ecoliving #canadianbloggers #zerowastejourney #zerowasteblog #imperfectlyzerowaste #consciousconsumercalendar #happy2020 #yearoftheconsciousconsumer #freedownload
  • When you look into the mirror who do you see? 🧐 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don't mean physically, I mean deep down what do you see within yourself? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've been many things throughout the years. As I'm sure you have, too. A wannabe Interior Designer, a self-proclaimed beauty blogger and an imperfect zero waster. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In 2019 I truly discovered my passion and my calling. 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It didn't come without its difficulties and life has a funny way of bringing you right where you need to be. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So just remember, if you're feeling lost perhaps life just hasn't served you with the realization of your passion. That's okay. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you become self-aware you have a better perspective of what your purpose is. Understanding what made you who you are. And what has had a recurring theme in your life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm happy to leave the last decade behind because it was truly one of the most emotionally painful decades for me. I lost so many people. 2019 was the worst hit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But from this, I've grown. I've discovered my purpose. 🌱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you're still wondering, I hope that in 2020 you'll be able to find it as well. It makes life much more manageable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you already aware of your purpose? If so, what is it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #consciousconsumer #ecoblog #sustainablelifestyle #lowimpactmovement #lowimpactliving #holidayseason #ecoliving #canadianbloggers #zerowastejourney #zerowasteblog #imperfectlyzerowaste #2019reflections #reflection #purpose #livingwithpurpose
  • Love Our Mama versus "Love Our Mama" 🌍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Showing that we love our planet doesn't have to involve spending money. There are practical and affordable ways to show we care that actively benefit the Earth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Like bringing a garbage bag and going for a 20 minute walk. I was astounded see so much garbage piled up on our road. Too many coffee cups and beer cans to count. I even came upon some kinder egg toys and plastic plant pots (which intend to reuse in the spring!) 🌸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you love our planet, you won't feel the need to purchase a brand new sweater that says so. You know that the best way to show your love is through positive actions. 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you feel about "sustainable" merchandise? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #consciousconsumer #ecoblog #sustainablelifestyle #lowimpactmovement #lowimpactliving #holidayseason #ecoliving #canadianbloggers #zerowastejourney #zerowasteblog #imperfectlyzerowaste #loveourmama #acaciakersey #actionsspeaklouderthanwords
