My Recent Bargain Purchases & Eco Finds – A Collective Haul

Hey earth muffins! In April I shared some of my latest eco-friendly finds with you all… I can’t believe it has been a few months since my last haul post. Today, I wanted to share some of the products I have purchased since then. I haven’t done a lot of shopping, but I have found a few things to buy and share with you all. Let’s jump right into the collective haul!

Yard Sale Frog Decor ($0.25)

If you are following me on Instagram, you would have seen this frog a couple of weeks ago. Isn’t he just adorable?! I was wandering around a yard sale and spotted him from across the room. So cute! Last summer, I thrifted an Easter bunny with little overalls on as well. I think this frog and bunny will look absolutely precious next to each other as some spring decor in my home. 😍 I love hunting for holiday themed goodies at yard sales because you can find some great items for very little money – a huge perk of second hand shopping!

Stainless Steel Gua Sha Tool ($14, Amazon Affiliate link)

I have been seeing “gua sha” all over my Instagram and Pinterest. I’m not usually a sucker for advertisements, but I thought it sounded like a cool thing to try out! My face (especially around my cheeks) gets pretty puffy, so I wanted to see if gua sha would work. Most of the tools online are made of plastic or soft gems which have a tendency to break, so I did a lot of searching until I found this stainless steel one. Not only is the metal recyclable at the end of the tool’s life, I also love how smooth it feels on my skin. If you all are interested, I would love to make a “I Tried Gua Sha” post and share my results with you all – let me know if that interests you in the comments below! 😊

Vintage Cowboy Tweety Bird Shirt ($20, eBay)

At the time this post is published, I will be heading to Austin, Texas to visit a friend. I haven’t been on a plane for awhile, so it will be fun to travel again! In the spirit of visiting Texas, I wanted to buy a cute cowboy themed shirt. A search of Depop led me to this adorable, vintage one. I purchased it and then a week later the shop seller had to refund my order because she couldn’t find the shirt…. So sad! After searching the Internet long I hard, I was able to find another on eBay. It was hard to find but totally worth it – just look at how cute Tweety Bird is!! 🤠

EarthZeroPlastic Laundry Sheets ($7, Amazon Affiliate link)

I’ve been seeing laundry sheets all over the place these days. They are a great alternative to detergent in plastic bottles because they come in a cardboard container. And, these ones are totally biodegradable too! To use, take half of a sheet and place into your washer; it works just like typical detergent! The scent of these sheets is so fresh and lovely, they definitely work great! I love that there are so many alternatives to laundry detergent in plastic containers now.

Collective Haul Roller Skates!

I decided to purchase roller skates with a gift card I got from the company I work for. 🛼 I absolutely hate working out and doing any form of cardio, but I wanted to find a way to get some exercise in. There is a park near where I live that has an outdoor rink… So I figured I would give roller skating a try! It is so much fun and a great workout. Plus, I have only had one huge fall. 😂 I get up at 6 am and head to the rink right away; it has become a great morning ritual for me. Excited to continue skating this summer!

Final Thoughts on This Collective Haul

What a fun collective haul! I love sharing my recent purchases with you all – I hope it inspires you to be mindful of the things you buy. While I definitely don’t buy everything second hand, I make sure I only buy things that I will get a lot of use from. Out of everything in this haul, I would have to say the roller skates were the best purchase I made… It is so much fun to listen to 70’s music and skate around!
