bookmark_borderCurly and Plastic Free: CleanO2 Co-Wash Review

Posted on

Hey earth muffins! Back in September I wrote a post about CleanO2’s carbon capture bar soaps… And let’s just say I still love them (and have gotten my boyfriend hooked too!). Now that they came out with a line of shampoo and conditioner bars, I was excited to give them a try. CleanO2 kindly sent over their Co-Wash for curly hair, so let’s get right into my thoughts in this CleanO2 co-wash review!

What I Love About This Product

Like I mentioned in my CleanO2 soap review, their products are made using an awesome carbon capture process. The founders of the company created the CarbinX, which captures carbon dioxide emissions from building heating systems. The result of this process is non-toxic pearl ash/potassium carbonate… Which is then upcycled into their sustainable products!

bookmark_borderAnother Great Shampoo Bar: Soak and Float Lush Review!

Posted on

Hey earth muffins! If you are looking for an eco-friendly swap in the bathroom, I recommend switching to a shampoo bar. Lush has a ton of great ones to try out… I’ve tried a bunch of them so far; today I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the Soak and Float shampoo bar. Keep reading for everything I love (and dislike) about this sustainable product!

What I Love About This Shampoo Bar

The first pro of this shampoo bar is that it is a great sustainable alternative to typical shampoos. No plastic bottle, no packaging, and no watered down shampoo. It is always better to choose bar over bottles because they are a much more eco, zero waste swap. Lush does a great job with shipping (if you can’t pick up the bar in a local Lush store). The box it comes in is small and fits the product exactly. I love that this brand uses water soluble packing peanuts too!

bookmark_borderIntroducing “Motivation” – Lush Liquid Eyeliner Review

Posted on

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! Back in high school I used to be much more experimental with makeup. I remember absolutely loving to wear blue eyeliner; why couldn’t I rock it now? So, I purchased Lush’s blue “Motivation” eyeliner… Keep reading for a full Lush liquid eyeliner review!

What I Love About this Product

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!

Hey earth muffins! I’m a sucker for trying out new things… So I was super excited when ModernKind reached out to me and asked if I wanted to try out their new refillable, zero waste shampoo powder. Of course I did! After I used up the rest of my current shampoo bar, I started using it right away… Keep reading for a full ModernKind shampoo review!

What I Love About this Product!

The first thing I love about ModernKind’s shampoo powder is that it is truly zero waste. The powder comes in a metal bottle that can be either 1) refilled with their refill packs or 2) reused/recycled. The refill packages are compostable AND the packaging is all recyclable when it is shipped to your house. The brand definitely cares about the planet, and it shows!

bookmark_borderWhat is the Best Fruit Wash? (Introducing Koala Eco Fruit & Veggie Wash)

Posted on

Hey earth muffins! Last month I mentioned that Koala Eco was kind enough to send me a few of their products… When buying fruits and vegetables, it is a good idea to wash them regardless if you purchase them at the grocery store or the farmers market. Once I return from the store, I like to make a pile of my full reusable produce bags and wash mine at once. Koala Eco’s fruit wash is a great option for getting all those pesticides or dirt or whatever else off! Keep reading for all of my thoughts on this product.

What I Love About This Product

As I mentioned in my Koala Eco kitchen cleaner review, I love that this brand is truly eco-friendly. The company definitely bleeds sustainability through and through. The box it is shipped in is recyclable (and even has a cool built in bottle holder so that there is no need for bubble wrap or packing peanuts). The fruit wash itself is biodegradable and the bottles are made of 100% recycled plastic AND are recyclable after use. 🎉

What I Love About the No Tox Life Dish Block

First up, I (obviously) love that this is a sustainable dish bar. Instead of using dish soap in a plastic container, you can opt for this bar instead. Bars are much better than bottles for the planet; I absolutely love that this is an easy zero waste swap. The dish block comes in a recyclable box which makes it plastic-free as well!
