𝐓𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭???⠀

Personally, I’m never for spending money or buying useless sh*t from companies whose values I don’t agree with ✖️⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
BUT, I’m all for saving money on things you actually need from companies doing the right thing ✔️⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
There are some things I’ve been meaning to buy for a while and couldn’t find second hand... @veja shoes, period underwear (I went for @bondsaus because the reviews were the best) and a few Christmas presents for example.⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve bought these things this week because I need them, they’re from companies who I support and well, because why shouldn’t I save some money? A lot of sustainable brands are inaccessible to people due to the price, these sales are a great way for people to overcome this (as well as buying things second hand). ⠀

➊ 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞⁠
I’m that person who brushed my teeth while walking around the house doing other things to be more ‘productive’ so it’s hard for me to accept the idea of slowing down. I often squeeze a million things into my day and then complain that I can’t find time to meditate and have ‘me-time’ 💛 Here is where @ThePurityProjectSkinCare come into it with the idea of mindful skincare. Click the link in my bio for the full blog post and instructions on how to do this.⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
➋ 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬⁠
What are some of your favourite things to do before you go to sleep or when you wake up in the morning? List down a few things you could do in the morning or night that would set up your day or your sleep for the better 🌛 Choose a few of the most important ones and think about how long they’d take. Wake up and go to bed a bit earlier to make time for you to do those things 🌞 I'd love to know if you already have some rituals! Comment below.⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
➌ 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞-𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠⁠
The last simple way you can slow down and create a little more space in your everyday life is by single-tasking. This one is super simple, ready? Do one thing at a time ⭐ That’s it! Focus on the one thing you’re doing and allow your mind to simply float around instead of jamming it with another thing.⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
I've written a full blog post on this with more information on each of these three strategies. #sponsored⁠

Ready for the next sustainable Christmas present i

Ready for the next sustainable Christmas present idea?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How about 99% recycled sterling silver jewellery shipped in home compostable poly bags by @luna.androse? 💖 Plus they are also a @1percentftp (one percent for the planet) member!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s all, this ones easy so I’ll keep it short.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Side note, I shared in my stories on the weekend that I’ve made a little eBook of zero waste DIY recipes and you were all keen to get a copy so I’ll be posting that soon 🧚 I’ve had it made for months but hadn’t got around to sharing yet along with a bunch of other things 🙈 But this chick is now on uni holidays and will have a it more time to share with y’all again yippee!

With love as always,

Christmas is coming up quickly and if you're like me and your family is on the other side of the country, you'll be looking at getting presents organised already so you have time to ship them.⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing Christmas present ideas here and there. In no way do I want to encourage you to buy things you and your loved ones don't need. But if you do want to buy presents, I thought I might as well help you with a few sustainable recommendations and make your life easier ✨ Side note, @treadingmyownpath recently published a blog post on how to quit Christmas completely and @zerowastechef posted another about how to tell your families you don't want presents anymore. So if that's more your jam be sure to check them out!⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
So first up is my blog post on sustainable underwear brands I wear and love! Because everyone (well, most of us) wear underwear so why not buy someone something they will definitely use! 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐢𝐨.⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
And for the rest of the day, you can get 20% off @natvbasics (pictured here) with the code 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐲𝟐𝟎! ⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
With love as always,⁠
