I will be the first to admit that I am not the best at being “green”. I always forget my canvas bag when I go to the grocery store, I forget to unplug electronics, and honestly I could do a better job in conserving fuel. But I KNOW reducing waste is important and so I’m always trying to find easy swaps other than the canvas bag at the grocery store to try and reduce my footprint and use less waste. Plus, often times, reducing waste can often mean finding alternatives that are reusable– which ends up saving you ~*~money~*~!!!
When I use toner, I use these reusable fleece pads rather than cotton pads (like I used to) to apply it and then toss it in the washer with my other clothes.
Similar to the fleece pads, I use these microfiber cloths that take off my eye makeup with ease 🙂 All you do, is wet it with warm water and it wipes off your makeup with no problem!
These dryer balls not only reduce static in the dryer, but they also help to reduce drying time to save you on your energy bill. You can add a little essential oil to the balls if you want to make it smell good too.
I use these reusable silicone bags instead of Ziploc bags for sandwiches and snacks that I take to work. You can just throw them in the dishwasher to clean them.
MIGHT BE TMI…but:
The Diva Cup is a life saver. Tbh, I don’t have my cycle anymore because I have an IUD, BUT, when I did, this thing was life. No leaking, stays all day, and plus there’s no creepy chemicals entering my body like when I used tampons.
I use glass pyrex containers to meal prep lunches for work. No chemicals like plastic containers and Pyrex is so durable so it’s perfect for a million uses.
These are like super thin, absorbent sponges. Since they are thin, they dry a lot quicker than sponges, so they don’t get gross and moldy like sponges can. Plus, if it starts to look gross, you can throw it in the washer with your clothes to wash it.
