Bamboo ToothbrushSo, I have now swapped my toothbrush to one made from bamboo. And the best thing? It's compostable! I'm really happy with my choice of getting a natural toothbrush instead of a plastic one and I feel better knowing that my decision has a little less impact on the environment.

Recycle your empty cosmetic packaging!Sometime we feel that we are focusing and getting frustrated with all the things that are not environmentally friendly or sustainable. We sometimes talk about how it drives us mad just thinking about how people consume. Black Friday has to be one of the first days of the year?! People going shopping crazy and they are buying things that they don't really need just because it is cheaper. Saw a YouTube video from the US where a women got arrested because she got in to a fight over a TV. MAD people!
Anyhow, back to where we were going with this. Origins is a great brand to begin with and they have launched a programme where they accept all empty cosmetic and skincare packaging, from any brand! How great is that! And the other day I saw that they have the recycling bins out in the stores here in the UK. Go Origins! For us it is still a quite big step to make our own skincare but we are getting there, slowly slowly. InspirationI'm incredibly inspired by Lauren Singer that writes the blog Trash Is For Tossers. She lives a Zero Waste life in New York. She makes her own skincare and buys her food in bulk in her Mason jars, just as a 'No' to packaging. I'm so inspired and when I think about how much trash we make in our home , it really gets you thinking. Lauren keeps all her trash in a jar on her dresser. How incredible is that?!
I would really like to make a transition into a waste free life. She said in an interview that it took her around a year to go from a life full of trash into a Zero Waste life. Read her blog!

Nail varnishJosefin got 10 % off her nail varnish when she returned an old packaging from & Other Stories. They recycle all the empty packaging from their beauty products and give a nice little discount to their environmentally friendly customers.
The colour is called "Faison Dust". P.A.P SwedenI'm chasing an iPad cover for my iPad Mini and found this from P.A.P. It is made in Sweden and it is in felt made from wool and recycled PET-bottles. It is going on my wish list for Christmas. Please Santa!
