🥥 Don't you just love the beauty of minimalism? Look how good that coconut bowl & those straws fit in! I like to invest in multifunctional products & when they can also serve as decoration, life feels gooood (again, it's in the little things 🙃). In the spotlight today: coconut bowls! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
》Now, how are they produced & why is it a #sustainable item? During the production of coconut oil, the coconut shells are a by-product, and are usually burned openly. This practice is highly unsustainable 'cause it releases a lot of unnecessary CO2 and methane emissions. Instead, the coconut shell can be made into a useful product!

》Because the bowls are a natural product, they're one in a billion, just like you! They're all unique in size, form and colour. However, all have a diameter of 12 to 15 cm and are 5 to 6 cm high.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥥 Perfect to make those IG worthy smoothiebowls! Use them for snacks, decoration, gift, soap dish, measuring cup or plant holder - I told ya I liked multifunctional 😏 Tap to shop or visit www.ecossentials.eu! Will you share your fav bowl recipe/use with me below? 🍲 #ecossentials ...

🥕 Buying food that is locally grown from your farmer’s market or local grocer is a great way to minimize your environmental impact, but growing your own food takes it to the next level! There is nothing like biting into a fresh ripe veggie plucked from the vine. When I make food with our own herbs or veggies, I feel so accomplished (it's in the little things 🤩) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
》I used to not care where my food came from. Even though I was likely to purchase produce in season, I just didn’t realize that most of it was shipped five thousand miles (!) across the world 😒 So choosing for #organic, locally produced food was a goal for me, to skip CO2 emissions & generate less waste. And growing my own (with some fails 🙃) is extra fun! Why? 👇🏻

•• Better Taste
•• Exercise (grow those biceps guys)!
•• You Can Grow More Varieties
•• No Chemical Pesticides
•• Less Danger of Food Contamination
•• You Eat Fresh, In-Season Veggies
•• Less #foodwaste, More #moneysaving
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥬 You don’t need a lot of land or gardening experience to begin. You can start out with just a few herbs on your windowsill or you could even try gardening in containers! Still not possible for you? Try to choose #local & #organic produce in your grocery store or nearby farmer! Who has their own little garden & what do you grow? Let me know! 🌱🌽🍅 #ecossentials ...

🥤Straws are a symbol of #plasticfree living, yet I don't put them in the spotlight enough! So, here goes! Everyone likes a set of elegant cutlery to top up your home dining experience. So why not complete it with a #multifunctional collection of shiny stainless steel straws to carry with you everywhere? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
》MILLIONS of straws are used and thrown away just minutes after use every single day across the world! Most of these are thrown straight into the bin, will never be recycled and will end up in our oceans, killing the amazing creatures in it. Which just seems too crazy.

》Fortunately, this problem could be easily solved, using a reusable eco-friendly straw. These straws are non-toxic, tasteless, rust-proof, #plasticfree, BPA free and dishwasher safe! All you need to do is rinse the straw after use with the accompanied brush, and then toss it into the dishwasher. Easy peasy, right?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧉There's a straw for everyone: from collapsible ones to pretty bamboo variations in different sizes, find your new #reusable drinking buddy on the shop! Are you a straw user or hater? 👇🏻 #ecossentials ...

🏷 It’s September! Which means @oxfamgb #secondhandseptember is back! If you haven't tried thrifting or #secondhand shopping yet, now is the best time to give it a try! There are so many amazing vintage treasures out there for anyone to discover. All you have to do is keep an open mind, find your style (check my previous posts) and most of all... TRY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
》Last years #secondhandseptember created a carbon footprint reduction of 1,500 tonnes – the same emissions equivalent to driving a car around the world 200 times. Let’s do it again this year! #fastfashion sucks & is currently responsible for about 8% of global carbon emissions, treats workers badder than bad & convinces people to become overconsumers.

》So join #secondhandseptember with me and pledge to shop only second hand for 30 days or more! DM me pictures of your #secondhand outfits or tag #secondhandseptember & @ecossentials_ and I will share your outfits on my stories!

🥬 My latest #lowwastelifestyle hack that requires essentially zero effort AND saves money: regrowing food from veggie scraps! Want to take your commitment to local foods to the next level? Look no further than your own trash can or compost bin! While many people think of food scraps (such as carrot tops, onion bottoms, and the tips of romaine hearts) as waste or future fertilizer, these items can be enjoyed all over again! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
》I saw this #foodwaste hack all over IG & I finally tried it, with spring onions! And it's so so simple. I simply cut the onions down to a couple inches tall, threw them in a jar of water, and placed on the counter. Those on the left are from a week ago and they’ve already sprouted like crazy! I’m so excited to have some on hand for cooking now, without spending money. And you guys know I'm all about #moneysaving hacks 🤑
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•• Keep in bright indirect sunlight
•• Change water every 1-2 days to prevent them from smelling
•• Rinse out roots with water if it does start to smell
•• Fill water to only cover the roots (try to not cover the white part)
•• As the scallions/spring onions grow taller, change to taller jar to support length

🌱 That's #nowaste in it's purest form! Repurpose old glass jars or glasses, look at which veggies you can regrow and get going! Who's gonna try this? Let me know 👇🏻 #ecossentials ...

🧖🏻‍♀️ While a skin care routine may sound like high maintenance, in reality, the steps for healthy skin are not only necessary, they’re easy to implement too. The key to skin resiliency is knowing your skin and treating it well: Morning skin care should focus on prevention and protection for the day and your nighttime routine should focus on cleansing and repair. So, this is my routine! 👇🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•• Cleanser ••
A cleanser is what you’ll use to wash your face and it’s important to use a product intended for your face – not just whatever bar you have lying around! I use the heavenly Juice Cleanse from Lani, wiped off with the reusable bamboo pads!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•• Moisturizer ••
Moisturizers are for everyone and should be used every time you wash your face. A little trial and error is totally normal when you’re looking for the right one. I use the best moisturizer ever (in my opinion) from UpCircle!

•• Exfoliation/Serum
An optional addition to your skin care routine, are serums & scrubs.They contain ingredients like antioxidants that support skin health in a number of ways! I use the Scrub & Serum from UpCircle, the Apricot Scrub & serums from Lani! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
》All products I use are #plasticfree #crueltyfree and #vegan. They only contain natural and organic ingredients that are gentle on the skin, instead of harsh artificial chemical ingredients found in commercial skin care products. The best choice for my complexion and for the planet 🤟🏻🌱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

》You know the moment when your soap bar slips through your hands because it got too small? Luckily, you can use every last bit of your bar by using a soap pouch as a #lowwaste hack! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
》This natural sisal fiber pouch can serve as a soap holder or it gives you the opportunity to store your soap whilst travelling. But it can do much more than that! When your soap breaks into pieces, just put the leftovers inside the pouch and take it with you in the shower. It creates a great foam and at the same time, it also naturally exfoliates your skin! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱 This is a great way to make sure you don't waste any piece of your soap! Would you try it? #ecossentials ...
