Thank you for watching!
Thank you for being YOU! The world needs your deliciousness! ✨ - Krátké a kreslené filmy
HI FRIENDS!!! SO FLIPPING SORRY it's been a few weeks since I've uploaded... ya girl's computer finally decided to kick the bucket. But it is now FINALLY repaired and I have a bunch of vids coming at ya in the next couple days/weeks! I actually filmed this one about 3 weeks ago! WOW! brb slowly now getting to the edits I fell behind on. BOI OH BOI DOES IT FEEL GUD 2 B BACK!!!!!!!!!! ;) I hope all has been groovy with you in the last couple weeks! My computer dying was oddly a really nice re-charge... some big things are changing here in the coming month or so! (in the best way)
I also just found out that I'm moving in a couple weeks. It's going to be an exciting whirlwind. That's for sure! Many many things to share! It'll be interesting living in a non-vegan and non-zero waste space again. So send any advice ya have!
p.s. I luv u. thank you for reading this. Thank you for watching this video. Thank you for being uniquely YOU! The world needs your deliciousness!!!!!!!! Much luv and big big hugs xoxo
Please, please, please! Do a whole video on the mascaras you've tried so far and help us find a good zero-waste option. I've tried the Raven one but it's really smudgy
ooooh!!! Will do!! 💛
I'M SO HAPPY YOU ARE BACK!!
One of the solutions for Coffee (because you live in Seattle) is Seattle Coffe Works they have a refillable coffee program where they reuse the packaging and give you a discount on beans. If you're trying to find a different way to get coffee beans
You should try booda organics!!! They're amazing. All of their products come in packaging that is either reusable or compostable/recyclable (except for their original chapstick but they recently came out with chapstick in cardboard packaging) and the ingredients are outstanding
In regards to your comments about the mascara, you’re not being a hard ass. It is deceptive, wasteful, and it’s green washing. It sucks that it’s so hard to find products that are truly packaged responsibly.
Thank you for reassuring me 🙈💛 Sometimes I feel crazy hehehe
In Germany we actually have a brand where you keep the bamboo Package and just refill. So you only buy the inside than 🙂👍🏼 the brand is called ZAO and they have almost everything to refill after you bought the bamboo version, like a palette for example ☺️
I love the Besame cake mascara. It wil last me years! Since it's a dry formula, it doesn't spoil within a few months like normal mascara. It comes in a little metal tin and in cardboard packaging. The only plastic is a little plastic brush that comes in a tiny plastic sheet. And you can get refills!
But I figured that this beats buying a new tube of mascara every 3/4 months.
Only drawbacks: It has a little learning curve. And it's not water proof.
I tried the Kjaer Weiss mascara because it is an aluminum tube that you can keep forever and just buy refills and I thought it was an amazing idea. However, I didn't like the mascara at all which was very disappointing! So I switched to Elate but my dream would be that they change their packaging a little so I could get the best of both worlds!
@@joyruppert4710 the cake mascara doesn't have beeswax. It's the 1940's tube mascara they also sell that has the wax.
I really appreciate you saying that “clean” skincare is not necessarily better or safe. I was on the clean beauty bandwagon for a long time, but like you I’ve been researching skincare more and understanding that sometimes the “natural” or DIY option isn’t the better option. I also appreciate the acknowledgment that you’ve given skincare advice in the past that you’re realizing isn’t correct. It shows a great deal of humility! We all make mistakes, but it’s what we do after we realize we’ve made one that matters. I’d love to see a video on this topic. Thanks for another great video! 💕
I completely agree about the elate mascara! It's wastefull and unnecessary to put that extra layer of bamboo over it just to make it appear "eco friendly" when it's still just a plastic bottle like every Maybelline mascara. To me it's just another form of greenwashing :( if companies want to sell the zero waste idea then they need to actually try their hardest, because obviously we as consumers are passionate about the products we use aligning with our values, and we are not dumb.
I'm so glad you've acknowledged some questionable skincare advice you've given in past videos! As someone who has been a huge skincare nerd for a long time, I am still taken aback when influencers push "natural" skincare products that may actually be ineffective or quite harmful to the skin. I know you never meant to give out advice that isn't in your viewers best interest, so I am happy to see you recognize these issues and are making moves to try and clear up these things up :)
Meow Meow Tweet now has refill options for a lot of their products! They come in larger aluminum bottles to refill the glass bottles (and keep reusing the pumps), and then you send the aluminum bottles back to Meow Meow Tweet. One of my favorite companies also!
Hey guys! All oils have different slipperiness and rates at which they absorb into the skin. Shea and coconut take a while to absorb, making them kinda annoying to use externally as is. Check out a faster absorbing oil like jojoba!
Very true!! 💛
Love your content sedonachristina :)
Excellent advice. Appreciate it!
Totally Agree !! I USE JOJOBA OIL EVERY DAY ESPECIALLY ON MY FACE.
Coconut oil also will clog pores so probably best to avoid it.
Hi! I am a skin care snob, and I’ve always had a hard time balancing my sustainable beliefs and taking care of my skin. I still use some store bought, dermatologist recommended products. One things I’ve been doing though is making my own body butter. I whip my own Shea butter and it’s amazing, and zero waste. Better than most store bought lotions, and you can cater it to your skin type.
You could try the ordinary, youth to the people and the body shop products.
Laura Molteni I do use the ordinary. Also trying to save money too
@@user-ew9cy1ot9k if you like balm cleansers the body shop has one in an aluminum tin, its like 20 dollars but lasts a long time ❤️
Check out juice beauty!!
How do you whip your Shea butter? I bought a block of pure Shea butter and am now trying to figure out how to turn it into lotion.
You said "plastic free" and I was like "THERE'S PLASTIC IN MY TOILET PAPER??" before realizing you were talking about the packaging
LMAO
Would you try out the "The Ordinary " chemical exfoliants? They're vegan, cruelty free and The AHA BHA is is a glass bottle
Ooooh! I’ve heard great things about them! I’ll look into it!! That sounds right up my alley. Thanks for the rec 💛
@@SedonaChristina no problem
Yah, they are great and cheap too!
They also have terracycle boxes at some of their locations so you can return their bottles, as well as any other beauty products containers you have!
YES!! Totally agree 👌🏻 The Ordinary is amazing.... I use the niacinamide and zinc serum for my skin, works wonders for a clear complexion!! Glass bottle, grated ingredients, vegan and cruelty free and £5... LOVE! ✌🏻❤
My skin HATES a lot of the “clean” beauty products. I just stick to cerave moisturizing cream and that makes my skin so happy.
that's because clean doesn't mean anything and cerave's stuff is so good because it's simple and based on research not weird hyperbolic marketing
Britni Alexander hi! I’m aware of this. That’s why i put parentheses on natural. My skin was at its worst when trying “natural” beauty.
A lot of "clean natural beauty" is FULL of essential oils which are largely horrible for skin. It's so hard to find a nice scent free shampoo bar for example.
my kingdom for some real, normal antiperspirant but in a more sustainable package
Same for the longest time until juice beauty!!
Yay! I’m so happy to see that you posted. Every video/podcast that you share is another reminder to stay vigilant about reducing the waste I produce & things I do/don’t do to be environmentally conscious. Thank you for continuing to post and I look forward to what you share in the future.
🍭 made it to the end! I seriously could listen to you talk all day please never stop apologizing for your beautiful self! I always learn a ton from you!
christie, you have no idea how happy it makes me when you post!
The most informative person on the internet I swear. Love youuuu sooo mucchhhh!!! 🍭🍭
I used to be like 'the smell of bleach is the smell of clean' & now that I'm trying (so slowly trying, uphill battle trying) to go more Eco friendly I'm like 'the smell of vinegar is the smell of clean' lol
So glad to see you're back! Definitely have missed your videos. 🌍🍭
I love to hear you chat, love your energy 🍭
Keep it up! You are one of my fav CZcamsrs 💚
Oh my oh my! What a compliment!! Thank you for sending some kindness my way! 💛
I love your channel and I am so glad you’re back. hope you start uploading more often❤️ kisses from Brazil 😘btw, 🍭
I purchased a Brondell bidet ($50) about 2 years ago. I love love love my bidet. Haven't purchased one single roll of tp. I really hate when I have to use the restroom when I am out. The bidet cleans much better and no 'lint' left behind. I think you will love it too!
Very good video, thank you!
Hi! I recently discovered your channel, and am so glad that I did. Thank you for all the info and references that you share! You mentioned doing a video just about the house cleaning products that you've tried, and I'm about to run out of my "old/less than ideal" products, and look forward to seeing your video. So far I'm interested in the Blueland products from your other video, and the dishwasher soap mentioned in this one. I look forward to your video, and hope your week is off to a great start!
I Looooove these kinds of videos!
And yes, totally agree with the mascara thing, its also wastefull bc its quite hard to seperate the bamboo and the plastic wich wich lead to it probably not being recycled..
You should try the new Lush pressed conditioner bars! I have the "jungle" one and I love it! Their old formula for the conditioner bars was terrible, but I really like their new formulation! I had to buy mine online because I couldn't find the new ones in my local store, but their shipment packaging is eco-friendly!
This was so so helpful- by far one of my favorite zero waste vids/creators 🍭
WELCOME BACK ❤️ loves this video omg! Miss you and your beautiful self!
Hehe 🥰 Feels SO NICE to be back in action! Now that I have a computer again, I have sooooo many videos to get out in the next few weeks! 💛
Sedona Christina Im so excited! Best of luck with your move! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us 🥰
You don't know me, but I love you and you inspire me to do my best for the environment! I use only bars and zero waste stuff in my bathroom!!!
Also yesterday was a hard day for me.. My grandmother will die this week so I have to say goodbye to the best women in the world... She grows her own food and is the first person who I knew that was zero waste!
Thank you for cheering me up❤️
daymn girl how long i've been looking for a channel like yours! keep up the good work! zero waste, vegan & cruelty free, responsible packaging - you're talking about all the stuff we NEED to prioritize for the sake of our planet. Respect! x x
I also love using jojoba oil for my skin. It does have that oily feel at first but then it soaks in your skin very nicely, especially if you have dry skin. The other thing that is great about it is that it doesn’t have a pungent smell to it and it’s oil properties are very close to our natural sebum oil properties on our skin.
Thanks so much for making this video! Haha I struggled too with using coconut oil as lotion because it literally would get on everything and not absorb in my skin which left my skin super dry. I feel like I could try to swap with a lot of these products! Love how real/honest you are by the way 💁🏼♀️💕
Ahhhh thank you! 💛 I’m beyond happy I could help in any way!!! x
I would love a video about cleaning supplies! Thanks so much for doing the homework for the rest of us. I'm super interested in those body care products!
My stylist told me to condition all the way to my scalp and it's totally changed my scalp health (for the better)! I know it's common to hear that you should only condition the bottom of your hair but going against that has been near life changing for me.
I’m going to be trying a bidet soon, too. It should be interesting lol. Thanks for being honest with the reviews!!
A bidet is honestly worth it. I would recommend getting one!
Cheyenne Butler Oh good! I’m trying out Tushy so I hope I like it! 😊
Definitely helpful seeing the difference between the eco products and what works and doesn’t work. I really want to try the body lotion. Sounds amazing! Your expressions are priceless. You make me laugh!
🍭this video was honestly so amazing. Love your stuff and because of you I have made my own low waste swaps and I am in love 😍
Omg yes ily! Natural isnt always better than synthetic!
Your my new best friend, I seriously love your videos. My job is actually about waste, recycling and conservation (affiliated with keep America beautiful) so all you talk about is just amazing thank you for what you do! 🥰🥰
Love everything about this! Thank you! 🍭
For the stuck shampoo bar- u could try running hot water over the back of the tin that it's stuck to. If she's real melty it might do the trick. If all else fails, my last resort is usually stabbing a knife into the middle of the bar- it usually just breaks into 2 pieces, and the force of it breaking apart gets it unstuck from the container without a ton of hacking, haha
Love your vids!
edit: and the boody bra! I've the same one, it's so good!! I'd say it's supportive enough for bike riding, but not jogging, if that makes sense lol
omg YES ive always thought that about the elate one! I'm currently using the lush one, which is ofc plastic but at least they recycle it and don't use the extra resources (bamboo) that elate does. I tried cake mascara first but it didnt work for me. and PLEASE make a video about clean beauty soon bc I literally just started trying aloe masks because of you and now im kinda scared haha
A quick note on the oil you use on your body: it's something you should only use sparingly as it has lavender and rosemary essential oils which are some of the most sensitizing ingredients used in cosmetics, natural or synthetic. Using them often (particularly in leave-on products) can cause allergies, horrible rashes, and even just acne in response to irritation. The way the coconut oil soaks in sounds amazing though
I’ve started using these Keurig cups from OneCoffee. They’re fair trade, organic and the pods are entirely compostable. Highly recommend.
so good to see you!
Feels like a dang DREAM to be back!! March is going to be fun fun fun!!! So nice to finally have a working laptop again!!! :) :) :)
🍭🍭🍭
As an European watcher I can't really buy a lot of the stuff you mentioned without paying a boatload of shipping, but I really enjoy your chattiness and the way you do your reviews!
I’ve been wanting to try the Elate Mascara, didn’t know it has a plastic tube inside though. Also, thanks for sharing a more sustainable/eco friendly undergarment brand! I’ve been needing new bras, will have to check out BoodyWear for sure 🙂 🍭
If you're looking for shampoo/conditioner bars with tea tree oil I recommend looking into a brand called Bottlenone. I recently bought them and love it for my oily/scaly scalp 😊
Hey Christina. I know you’ve used Mad Hippie products in the past. Have you considered using their mascara, and possibly reviewing it?
I am so glad that you are going to start talking about skin care ingredients because I find that a lot of eco friendly products use stuff like coconut oil and essential oils in their products and both of those are really bad for your skin. Like if you have oily skin, coconut oil is highly comedogenic and essential oils have been proven to sensitize your face skin over time. Also, LOVE that you have stopped using straight Aloe on your skin. My motto is if it isn't made for your skin, it's not meant for your skin. Caveat to that is I LOVE making my own body butter and I totally know what you mean about it taking a long time to sink in but tbh I usually take a shower at night anyways OR I'll put significantly less on if I'm putting it on in the morning. Anyways.....love this video and thank you for always posting such great content ❤️
love how organized u made the video
New to your channel and on my little sustainable and non-toxic journey. I had no idea about the health benefits for precut broccoli. I always wash and precut mine because it's more convenient when I want to use them, so that's pretty awesome to know. I'm definitely taking notes on brands to try from all your similar vids. Thanks for the reviews!
That is my favorite favorite shampoo bar!!!!
So I put a piece of fabric underneath the bar that was long enough to come up on both sides. I would just pull on the fabric to get it up and pull it off the fabric. Also after a while the fabric would pick up enough runoff from the wet bar that I was able to wash my hair with it, useing it like a soap saver.
But yes it gets super stuck to that tin!
I also kinda think that not 100% put together kinda squishy formula is also why it's so good.
I’d recommend the Matcha Hemp cleanser by Krave beauty! I’m not sure on their environmental policies, but they are a small company(by a CZcamsr :)) that is all backed by dermatological science, but it’s so hydrating and calm on the skin! Also, super reasonable in price!
Thanks for the tip - unfortunately are currently sold out:(
She thinks a lot about sustainability, Liah Hoo has a channel, you should check out where she discusses this.
I love your videos SO much!! 🍭
Have a look on Etsy for Dirty Hippie Cosmetics in Australia - boutique handmade mascara and other cosmetics that are eco friendly, and I believe they ship globally. I believe they have a bottle recycling program for the glass bottles they come in (but only if you’re in Australia) and are mailed out in minimal post consumer recycled compostable packaging. 🍭
Iona Thompson YESSSSS, LOVE THAT STORE!!
hii!! i discovered your channel randomly, and now I'm hooked!!!. a shampoo/conditioner bar that I've been interested in is Viori. I haven't tried it yet, but the ingredients are very good!
I’ve watch a ton of your videos and have finally subscribed!💚
Hehehehe 🙈 Many thanks, friend!! Welcome to this crazy ‘lil corner of the internets 🤸♀️
I love you and your videos so much. Keep up that good work🍭
Great vídeo! I started my journey slowly about 2 years ago and you've been helping me A LOT! I always check your videos before anywhere else for ideas, tips, products.
And also I love watching your videos..I feel like we're friends already 😂😂😂
BTW 🍭
I think it is actually a really good point with the mascara! That's why I wouldn't be buying it! But still it is a good option :)
I love how enthusiastic you are :D
That's an interesting thing you touched on there. What if someone is treating themselves very occasionally to something that they feel is good for their mind body and soul, even if its in a plastic bottle or bag? I feel like there's a massive improvement going from buying dozens of things in plastic to perhaps prioritise the MOST valuable things you absolutely will use, reusing their containers as much as you can etc. (hopefully this is coming across as opening a discussion and not being shitty/accusing lol)
Hi there! You're so fun/funny:) Thanks for the shopping links, especially Girlfriend Collective and Plaine. Be well!
Please keep up updated on your hunt for a mascara! Its my next low waste swap (I've been clinging to my old plastic mascara for a shameful 2 years ) and would love to hear what you love @
Your presentation style is honestly my favourite thing ever 😂
🍭 Glad to have you back! 💕
"if you're not poor... bask in that coconut yogourt, dude" hahahhaa
Hehehe 🙈 But for real. I’ll be over hear v jelly of the cocoyo regs 😹
🍭 Thanks for reviewing this stuff to help the rest of us waste less extra resources! Looking forward to your videos on went to/not to diy low waste alternatives.
🍭❤️ thanks for sharing! Definitely gave me some helpful tips on a few products I will be swapping soon!
Thank you for this video! It’s such a good resource for someone like me who wants to start using less wasteful hair/body care products but is always wary to because they tend to be $$$ and I’m not sure whether they’ll be effective.
I also tried that exact same aloe & tea tree shampoo bar and was excited about it. I didn’t have the mushy problem, mine stayed quite solid. The problem I had with it was that it left soooo much build up. I also tried their apple cider vinegar & orange shampoo bar - same problem. As soon as I switched off those shampoo bars, all that buildup washed out.
OOOOOH! Interesting! Good to know! Thank you! 💛
Sedona Christina You’re welcome! ☺️
Omg I found your channel when you had about 20,000 subs and I was starting to be more substantial. For some reason you hadn’t shown up on my feed for quite some today my dear, you did, and just encouraged me more to make much better choices. I am not completely completely dairy free and I also still eat seafood (Im working on changing that, but for my heart my doctor wants me to still be eating some foods such as salmon for the “beneficial health properties” these poor babies have) I’m learning that my doctor just doesn’t care to know much about the fact that I can find the same exact nutrients within a pill. I feel stupid for saying that but I have a new heart doctor as well as finding the proper vitamins I need to help lower my cholesterol, blood pressure, and generally found a fake fish product to replace the satiation for fish, it’s just extremely expensive at my Whole Foods. I wish that I wasn’t so stuck I’m on still eating fish, but it’s such a norm in society (sadly) and my grandfather spent a lot of time fishing where I’m from. I believe that memory of being with him in those moments honestly mentally kept me trapped because he believed that eating animals was completely normal (not just our beautiful sea life). I stopped eating red meat and chicken when I was ten years old after watching a peta video that ripped my soul at out the time. I know that I can stop eating fish but I still have this strong craving for it and I’m working on completely changing that. We can’t all be perfect but I know that eating our planets beautiful creatures is inherently wrong.
I’m am not even 60% zero waste because it’s hard to find products within what I can afford when it comes to cleaning supplies and beauty mostly. I’m SO GLAD I’ve gotten back on your channel and have your notifications on because you have given me that extra boost to do everything I can to help the planet.
I have a six month old who deserves to see the world evolve in a beautiful and kind way.
I’m so proud that over 180,000 people on this channel are at least listening to you and the simple but also hard in certain ways to change our world. You have such a genuine message and spirit. Thank you for what you do and I’m going to do my best to care for our planet on my part as we all should.
At least small change is change in the right direction for some.
🍭 I’m definitely going to look into that body oil and the Plain Products lotion. I started using Shea butter and I totally agree with you on it just sitting on your skin and taking way too long to absorb. Thanks for the recommendations!
16.00 - bar thingy - scrape around the outside of the bar, then stick it in the freezer and see if it pops out - worst that can happen is it seperates and goes a bit funny; worth a shot
Or melt it and pour it out into a silicone mould/cake tin
Good luck!
I know someone who was throwing away EVERYTHING in their bathroom in order to purchase "greener" stuff 🙄 a lot of it was cheap garbage, Suave, etc - things I normally wouldn't buy because of animal testing, or other reasons. However, my roommate and I took it & used it & it lasted over a year. Making better choices is GREAT but there is nothing helpful about throwing away a perfectly good product/item in order to buy a "greener" option. Okay, end rant. I'm new to your channel & loving it so far, thank you!
I looooveee Boody bras! I'm a 40c for reference and I don't think the support is terrible, at all. I find myself wearing them to work all the time and I work long 12 hr shifts in healthcare field. Also, new subscriber here, awesome content! 🌻
Thank you for touching on this topic of skincare/beauty + “natural/clean/low waste!” It’s just that so far, there are a lot of misconceptions around the ingredients list, diys, and the safety of it all. If you haven’t already, you should check out Dr.Dray’s (Dermatologist) CZcams Chanel and Hyram (about the only skincare guru I found who makes a more conscious effort) Sustainable+Ethical+Low Waste+Skincare = a DREAM!
P.S. I LOVED the variety in this video.
I’m a new subscriber- to you and Shelbizleee and I’m loving you both! ❤️ 🍭 (watched the whole video)
I absolutely understand your concern with putting coconut oil on your body and having to worry about being oily. So, what a lot of people do here in India, is after you take a shower, just take the oil (i take very small amounts for diff parts. You can see what works for you) and rub it on your body like you normally would but while you’re still wet. Like right after you shower. And that way when you’re drying yourself with a towel, you don’t have to rub the towel on yourself, you can just dab it and the water’s off. It’s pretty cool, feels soft and nice. I personally do that so I can vouch for it! 💕
"I never put on body lotion! * Takes out Plaine bottle * This will last you for a very long time!" 😂 I'm sure it is still true but it made me laugh!
This was so ridiculously helpful
idk why i laughed so hard at "TrEe PapEr toILeT PapER" i always wondered what the zero waste community does tp so this was helpful. also i love your videos thank you for existing.
I have hair just like yours and use the Ethique Guardian Conditioner Bar! That paired with an ACV rinse keeps my hair super hydrated and smooth! 🍭
your hair is magic
I also have problems with coconut oil not absorbing. I had really good success with apricot seed oil and grape seed oil. I put in on after the shower and let it soak in for about 5 minutes. Then if there is any excess I dry off with my towel again.
Also I have similar hair texture to yours. I have had really good luck with Chagrin Valley's Conditioning Shampoo Bar.
I'm so sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Bestowed Essentials shampoo! I really enjoyed their Apple Cider Vinegar & Teatree shampoo bar I bought on Earthhero. That's crazy it fell apart like that. I did keep mine on a wooden draining soap tray, but it was never that soft for me, and I was able to transport it in the tin. I guess I'll stick to this particular bar and not try the one you had.
for the mascara problem, you can get the lush “eyes right” mascara, it is in a plastic bottle but if you take them back to the stores to be recycled, and if you return 5 you get a free face mask
You should try the Silver Falls Conditioner Bar!! It’s so amazing!!!
I also hate lotioning my body, so I’ve been using some of the Lush shower oils and it’s been a total game changer. Def recommend using an in-shower moisturizer as it cuts down on steps and that greasy feeling
Ooooooh! I’ll have to try that! It sounds perfect! 💛
i have fine/thin color-treated straight hair with hard water and i love love loveee the bar none conditioner bar. i use the zero waste store's cobalt shampoo bar for shampoo 😁❤🌍
I love Meow Meow Tweet. I use their Rosemary Avocado shampoo bar and I love it. I have pretty think hair. Works for me. 💜 Their cleansing oil is great too. ✨
I work for a shipping company and the heavy glass is way more durable. Also the boxes don’t slide and slam around while in transport because of the weight.
your hair is so beautifullll
Hey!! I dont know if you ever tried with plain coconut oil- bathe with it in the shower. I also have really dry skin. IF you keep something in the shower and as your shower routine- after you use your body soap, TAKE THE COCONUT OIL and rub it on your skin in the shower.
the water will wash off some of it but leave a bit in your skin. Its the perfect amount for me. i do this all the time but its best before bed. Hope you try it!!
Thank you for such a great and informative video! 🍭
sedona, i don't know if you still read these cuz it's 11 months old and i just found your videos first i want to say your great your personality is so fun i could see myself just hanging out with you it makes your videos fun to watch keep up the good work! i wanted to share a tip with you that i found works because i have the same issue with moisturizing my body i hate feeling greasy i found that once i get out of the shower before i dry off i will rub coconut oil (or whatever you want) all over then towel dry and it leaves the perfect amount of oil on my skin so that i don't feel greasy. i don't know why it works but it works perfectly. try it out! thank you so much for your videos.
I like my Beekman's shampoo bar, solid, but lathers super easy and is creamy. Does leave your hair a little "rubbery" kind of clean, definitely needs a supplement of a conditioner bar after, but as long as you're alright with 2 products, it's a thumbs up for me
Try out Earthly Elixirs conditioner bars on Etsy! After I took your recommendation on the Bar None ones (amazing for my hair, by the way, and the first conditioner bars that ever actually worked for me), but Ulta stopped carrying them here. I found these online and they’re just as good!
Dude the whole making bottles to make “recyclable” wear... WTF
🍭 I’ve curly wavy hair and would love more hair care tips. Moving away from all the plastics in hair care products is challenging because some natural products like ACV rise and coconut oil overly dry out my hair and then the oil goops it back again.
have not tried gf collective (definitely want to!!) but tala is amazing!! the leggings are super high waisted & compressive, not see through and are so reasonably priced. i have their fleece lined sweats as well and wow, have never had a softer pair of sweats in my life
I had no idea about the plastic water bottle production for clothes! Whaaat 🤯
