Small changes for your Health, Wellbeing and the Environment
Hiya! I wanted to share something different today (not illustration or pattern related) but still important to me. During the quarantine I have tried to make small changes, personal and around the house, for our health and well-being and the environment.
On the personal side I changed my store-bought deodorant. I made the change a few years ago to the no Aluminium, and no Antiperspirant kind. But I hear @jennakutcher saying that during the transition while your body adapts, you could have more body odor than usual and be more sweety when you change over to an all-natural one.
I bought 2 to try out one from @weledauk and @koparibeauty and kept it in my closet maybe to try it over the holidays or something. But then the š· came, and you know not going anywhere, work in PJs + no visitors! Perfect opportunity to try them! I have to report that it is a success!
The first few couples of weeks maybe a bit more sweat and a bit more body odor at the end of the day. My body slowly adapted to the new norm, and Iām happy to report that everything is great and not going back to the old ways! Yay!
On the environment front I bought wool balls for the dryers. I replace dryers sheets, for Reusable dryer wood balls and essentials oil. I choose Bergamot, which has a fresh and citrus smell. By doing this I shortened the drying time, consuming less energy, eliminating the use of a single-use product for a reusable one.
The clothes smell fresh and are super soft! Win-Win! Small changes can have a huge impact on your life and in the environment! Everything adds up if everyone does a small thing! What would you be doing? Leave a comment below! I would love to know if you have any tips or eco-hacks!
Cheers,
