Pure Anada Five-Free Nail Polish | Review

Live Clean Biotin Shampoo + Conditioner | Review

The Best Electric Toothbrush on the Block | Oral B Genius Pro 6000 Review
Okay, we all know dental hygiene is important but we probably don’t find incredible joy by brushing our teeth every morning and night (or more if you’re a better person than myself!) That is until we get a toothbrush to end the battle with all other toothbrushes.
Dr. Roebuck’s Skincare | Review
This post contains affiliate links. I probably sound like a broken record when I say the hunt for skincare that is not laden with toxic or harmful chemicals is a long and difficult process.
Battle of the Pits | Nivea Pure and Natural Deodorant
I didn’t think I was hoarder – until I started packing and realized that I own over five deodorants. Why does someone need over five deodorants…considering I only have two armpits I don’t really know.
![How can I live a sustainable lifestyle while {promoting} clean/green beauty? π€
β β β β β β β β β
the short answer: I can't and I'm a hypocrite every which way I look at it. π€·
β β β β β β β β β
"This Changes Everything" (a book I shared a few posts back) has given me a new perspective on the reality of our consequences. The changes we need to implement as a society to truly help with the climate/plastic/resource crisis. β β β β β β β β β
I can't in good conscience keep promoting things that we /don't/ need. And I've been having a hard time grappling with the issue. β β β β β β β β β
not only do we need to re-vamp our economic system, we need to live with less. less everything, really. (That doesn't mean watching Marie Kondo and throwing everything in the garbage!!! π¬)
β β β β β β β β β
don't get me wrong: I love clean beauty and support good brands. money still votes and it is important that if you're going to spend money, you do on brands that are doing better (more sustainable/ethical!) but my moral compass is telling me that I need to change it up, so here we are. β β β β β β β β β
this post is to say that I'm switching to focus [more] on a sustainable lifestyle and [much] less on beauty. β β β β β β β β β
we'll see how it goes. I still have lots of clean/green beauty brands to share -- but I won't be adding anything new to my collection in the coming future. At least, nothing more than I feel I need. β β β β β β β β β
I hope you're all having a great week! Mother nature is dealing with some bad PMS-- the weather can't seem to make up it's mind. We're feeling her wrath because our house is basically surrounded by a lake and our basement is slowly becoming one too π

(I exaggerate but we are having issues with water leaking through the foundation which isn't fun.) π¦

How's your week been?!?
