Relocating can be exciting but stressful, and when done the right way, the experience can be rewarding and worth the effort. A common issue during the moving process is the excessive use of single-use plastics. Considering that 85% of plastics end up at landfill sites, it’s important to have sustainability in mind when moving to help protect the environment.

In addition, it is always better to start early with your shopping and give yourself plenty of time to find the perfect dress.

Hey earth muffins! If you have been reading this blog for awhile, you will know that I am a huge fan of Lush’s shampoo bars. Once or twice a year I will place a large order on Lush to stock up on bars (and reduce my shipping impact). This time, I decided to try out some of their low waste makeup too!

So, I purchased Lush’s blue “Motivation” eyeliner… Keep reading for a full Lush liquid eyeliner review!
First up, this is a great sustainable eyeliner alternative! The bottle is made of glass which can be recycled or reused once you use up the product. It also doesn’t come with a brush which is awesome because I already have my own. (You can of course buy a brush from Lush/drugstore if you don’t already have one) Lush also does a great job when shipping your products. The box is small and fits only what you ordered; in addition, it is packed full of corn packing peanuts that dissolve in water. Amazing!
