Ik had een vraag over mijn bestelling en stuurde een berichtje naar de eigenares op instagram. Ze antwoordde meteen en supervriendelijk! Ik ben heel tevreden met mijn producten en met de persoonlijke aanpak. Ik ben ook fan van hoe Moenia met Ecossentials een duurzame levensstijl makkelijker maakt voor iedereen!

🧼 Do you wash your face with regular soap? Best not to! Rather choose for something natural, like this Cinnamon and Ginger Chai soap! It's gently exfoliating to purify and energise your face! Pink clay reduces redness and irritation, while organic cinnamon and ginger oils give skin a reviving energy boost ⚡
•• This amazing soap from Upcircle is made from waste & residual chai spices used to create Henny & Joe’s chai syrup! Fully vegan, free from palmoil, plasticfree, natural & cruelty free!
•• Rather have a face bar without soap? Then the Facial Cleanser Bar from Happysoaps is perfect to wash your face in a natural way. In no time, you can remove grease, dirt, impurities and dead skin cells from your face. A facial cleanser is therefore indispensable in your daily washing ritual! It’s better for the health and resistance of your skin to wash it with products accordingly.
🧼 Apply with water to create a creamy lather! For best results, follow use with a Face Moisturiser, Serum or Toner ✌🏻 Do you wash your face with a natural bar already? #ecossentials

🦷 Time to put one of the easiest swaps in the picture: the bamboo toothbrush! Every year billions of plastic toothbrushes are dumped into our oceans or end up in landfills, where they sit around for about 1000 years before finally breaking down 🤮
•• So, switching to this toothbrush does wonders to both your teeth and the oceans! Made from sustainable bamboo and bpa free nylon. Bamboo is a natural plant, fully biodegradable, thus a renewable resource. It's classy design looks great in your bathroom and prevents you from putting plastic in your mouth - I call that a win!
♻️ The handle is compostable in a backyard compost. The bristles, however, are made of nylon and must be recycled according to local recycling programs! Are you already brushing sustainably? We've now added a soft version to the medium & hard brushes! Tap to discover 🌱 #ecossentials

🥬🗑Food scraps and yard waste together currently make up more than 30 percent of what we throw away, and could be composted instead. Making compost keeps these materials out of landfills where they take up space and release methane! So why compost? 👇🏻
•No more green GFT bags needed
•Fewer costs for transport
•You recycle waste and let it return to nature in a useful way.
•All garden waste doesn't have to be dumped or incinerated anymore.
•You make your own ecofriendly fertilizer for your plants.
•The collected waste is taken to the composting and fermentation plant where it is processed into quality compost. This process generates biogas which is converted into electricity and heat.
•• If your city doesn't collect compost/vgf, you can keep it and bring it to a 'containerpark' near you! Or, in Antwerp (& most other cities), there are community composting sites where residents and their neighbors can compost in an easy, ecological and social way!
♻️ Whether you have a large garden or a small terrace, there is a suitable way to compost for every spot! Swipe to see the different options & what you can compost (spoiler: a lot)! Do you compost & why/not? 👇🏻 #ecossentials

🍽 It's @weareveganuary, so the perfect time to try some #plantbased dishes. Katsu curry is one of my all time favourite meals and I used to eat the chicken variation A LOT! If you don’t order a katsu curry at Wagamama’s, I’m not sure we can be friends. Just kidding, we can, if you make this #vegan one!
•• I get asked a lot on how to make tofu more 'edible' & even though I like it in different ways, the Katsu way could be the one to convince you! Crispyyy, tastyyy, healthyyy & oh so easyyy! If you don't feel like cooking all the way, you can use premade curry sauce for this dish too 🌶
🍛 Swipe for the recipe, tap the save button & double tap if you're making this soon! I get the ingredients at a #packagefree shop (like @thebarn.antwerpen) & the rest @albertheijnbelgie. Bon appétit peeps 🍀 #ecossentials
"Insert cheezy quote about staring into the distance, thinking about the future"
🌟 Best cliché picture I could find for this post, so here we go! 2020, you were challenging, you sucked, you were batsh*t (pun intended) crazy & you showed us once more how divided our world is. I think we all agree on that.
•• But besides that, I had a grateful year. Yes, mentally it was hard. But mental struggles aren't new. It's about finding the right energy to keep on fighting against it & as well as this year took, it also gave me that energy: the shop turned 1, I've met friends through IG, I/we prevented tons of waste, I've closed countless of partnerships, I spoke up, I laughed, loved... And it felt goooood
•• I tend to not make too much resolutions, as change doesn't happen overnight. So you shouldn't pressure yourself either! Just do you, step by step. That's why I wish you energy, happiness, selfcare, hugs/kisses/parties, friendship, mental health & the gift of seeing yourself as you should (the badass person I know you all are!)
🤞🏻Still, I do have some goals for 2021 & you'll discover them alongside with me! Think BIG 😏 And even I have the goal to keep on living more sustainably & I'll keep on sharing the journey & struggle with you ✌🏻 Let's kick it again this year, today, always. Happy 2021 🌟 #ecossentials

🥂 2020 to 2021 personal post will follow soon, but for now, I just hope you still had a good year, despites all the setbacks!
🌟 These products were some of the absolute bestsellers of 2020. You massively chose for reusables and I couldn't be happier with that! So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to make this year great & sustainable. Let's keep kicking it in 2021✌🏻

🏭 The fashion industry is a dirty bastard. So, if I don't thrift, I want to choose for brands who put sustainable thinking at the center of everything - @organicbasics is such a company!
•• A while ago, I got this SilverTech set. Made in recycled materials and treated with Polygiene® Stay Fresh technology for extra durability. It functions for every sport, but I do think I wore it more for watching Netflix than anything else 🙃
•• Is it #fairfashion? YES! This bra is made in Portugal, in factories that ensure that their workplace is free of forced labor, with a safe working space, where they're paid a living wage and offered employee perks. Besides, with this set alone, 6.99kg CO2 & 57kg of waste is prevented & 288 litres of water is conserved! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
♻️ As you know, I only promote businesses/products I highly believe in after testing. I want to ensure you of sustainable quality, everywhere! So if you’re in need of new, comfortable active wear from a company that actually cares, @organicbasics is the place to go! You can get 10% off with ECOESOB2! 💚 #ecossentials
