Sustainable Brands
I’ve always had an interest in sustainable brands. The first sales job I had was selling compostable packaging before it was widely used, so selling the idea of sustainability was ingrained in my day to day. That being said, back then I wasn’t “living yoga” so it was easy to take the easy way out and still make unsustainable choices in my day to day.
Once you really start to love yourself it comes naturally to love the earth. The earth is our life source. It is what sustains us and we cannot live without it. In todays current climate people choose to love things more than anything else. In choosing this way of life you can’t really love yourself as you are attached to something that can be lost which creates fear and detachment from your true self, and without knowing your true self how can you truly love yourself..
Once you master self-love, when you watch someone litter it will feel as though that person has spit on you. We are self-centred beings, so once you start seeing the earth as your life force watching someone harm the earth will feel like a personal attack and maybe you can ask them to throw their litter in the bin (with kindness and compassion for them).
Anyways that was a very long winded way to say please take care of our planet. Here’s some brands I’ve started using to be more mindful of my personal waste and impact on the planet - I try to use natural products as much as possible!
Why I love it: the charge lasts for a month, it’s less bulky that other electric tooth brushes, it attaches to a magnetic holder that you can place on your mirror so no toothpaste drip mess and the give you a bag to post back the compostable heads so they can properly dispose of them.
Why I love it: It’s refillable in compostable pouches, it comes in a cute dispenser so you don’t have to deal with messy tubes and it’s natural so you aren’t putting anything harmful in your body. I do wish it was a little more minty though..
Why I love it: The best deodorant I’ve tried not even better than non-natural. The scents are amazing and you can choose your own container which comes in different colours (make sure you choose the right colour as its refillable). I can guarantee you will not smell. Get 20% off.
Wild shower gel
Why I love it: The same great smell but in a refillable shower pump. The refills are compostable and slot into the holder. Get 20% off.
Why I love it: They don’t use plastic in their packaging or harsh chemicals like standard toilet paper brands do that can deteriorate your health. Get 20% off.
Why I love it: They come in a compostable sachet that you pour in and fill with water in their reusable spray bottle. They smell so good it makes me want to clean everyday. Get £5 off.
Why I love it: refillable soap containers. The refill comes in a compostable pack and you drop the “drop” in, fill with water and wait 45 mins and it turns into a foaming soap. Get £5 off.
Why I love it: not only does it save so much money on laundry detergent but its effective (my clothes never smell and I can tell you yoga gets sweaty…)
