Simple ways to live more sustainable

Little changes to make the world less full of wasted plastic.....

Bamboo toothbrushes:
An amazing little switch that will have no actual change to your life, i buy mine from amazon but if you have a bulk shop or any kind of health food store try and buy from there instead. No toothbrush that has been made will ever leave our planet that scared me more than not being able to just pop to the shop and crisps and meat.

Stainless steel bottles:
Again switch that will have no effect on your life what so ever, other than your drink being colder or warmer depending on the drink. I love mine i got mine from a bulk food store in London called the store bulk foods, and its amazing keeps your water much colder and tea is warm for ages.

Re-usable bags:
I am very sure you have heard of these i love them, just keep a few in the back of your car and you'll be ready to go and think of all the plastic bags you'll save.

Charity/thrift stores:
 I love charity shopping its a win for everyone, you get cheep clothes money goes to charitys and you are reusing old clothes.

Thank you for reading my little tips on living more sustainable if all of us do a little bit it will do huge differences.
I have a YouTube Channel where i post more videos on zero waste, minimalism and a few random ones here and there, I did also make a video on this.

Zero Waste intro

The Main things about Zero waste...

a couple weeks ago i decided to change my lifestyle to less waste.
This meant refusing plastic.
Reducing how much i buy (Beauty, Fashion and Food.)
 Reusing old things like clothes.
 Rotting (composting) old food (Banana skin...)
And lastly recycling ALL WAYS LASTLY, use recycling as your 5 option, what happens is it gets downgraded and downgraded until eventually it ends up in landfill or the ocean.


Then another little tip, if you have beauty products sitting in your cupboard or clothes, then always give it away because it will sit in there for about a year then go to reach for it and its gone off or doesn't fit or has holes in it, then it needs to be recycled so give it or donate it!



CLOTHES:
Independent Brands
Using small brands is an amazing way to be more ethical. Big brands is one of leading causes to
pollution, also how there made (especially cheap brands,) is awful.


Organic cotton
Is an amazing sustainable materiel best used for clothing, and a great way to shop ethically.

second hand
Really amazing way to be more sustainable when buying clothes. Because you are giving these clothes another life.

giving second hand
Giving clothes and beauty products is a great way to reuse things (Even though your not actually reusing it.)

• Bamboo toothbrushes are an amazing  little environmental switch. No plastic toothbrush will ever leave so switching to bamboo will make the world of differences 
• Carry canvas bags with you everywhere, you never can be to sure. You should also carry water bottle, or what i use is one of those stainless steel thermal bottles, which keeps thing warm and cold so i can carry water in there but if i want like a  costa i have my bottle with me.
• I wanted to wright something on REDUCE. Consume less in all areas manly the main areas which are foods beauty and clothing. Foods reducing is an amazing thing, buy less so if you know you never eat granola don't buy it and don't over buy because as you will see it is a major problem. Having 2-3 body washes isn't the best way to buy, obliviously use them up but you only need 1 of each. Fast fashion and cheap clothes, i did touch on earlier on in the post but yes try and shop as ethically as possible, fast fast has my areas that are bad, i am not going to talk about it today though, as i am not that knowledgable in that area   

Thank you for reading i do have a YouTube channel which i post on once a week as well. I did also make a Video talking about zero waste as well.

Friday = Self-Care-Day

What I do  every other Friday for self care....

Every other Fridays I have a self care date. I spend that day with only myself, doing things that makes me happy, grows my knowledge and doing things that help me to stay on the right track with my life and goals and also things that help me relax!

( I also just made a video on this HERE)



Firstly I start my day with a little lie in watching TV though so my sleep cycle isn't ruined (Currently re-watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S .)

Then when i get out of bed i love to do a long yoga//meditation session.

After that i burn sage through my whole room and leave it there for 5 minutes, then open the windows to let the negative energy have an escape route.

I'll then clean through my room to have a nice setting for the day.

We're probably by the afternoon now. So i will then do a lot of painting in front of the TV on my bedroom floor. I love doing art especially on self care days because it ticks all the box's. Its like a therapy session, it grows my knowledge and makes me very happy.

Then i will walk in my office and plan some content, make to do lists that kind of stuff.

Whilst i am in my office i will print some inspiring pictures, so i can later re-do my inspo board ( I have blog post on how to make them Here.) And also go through some months goals. I will have a look in a page called my life in 2019, that i make very quarter of the year, then i will see what i can do to be closer to my goals

It is most likely the evening now so of course I will have spa. (I do have my spa routine just Here.)

Thank you very very much for reading, i hope you stick around for next weeks blog post.
I do have a YouTube Channel. That i post every Monday on. All about self care, dream life and a few beauty and fashion here and there but not very often.
