Happy Wednesday friends! Let’s talk about Earth Day! Let me ask you this- what does Earth Day mean to YOU? To me it means a day to celebrate the beautiful planet we live in and to reflect on how we can make it better. It’s incredible how little acts of love can improve our planet. Today I am teaming up with CVS and Love Beauty and Planet to share how I strive to make our planet better.
1. Mindful Shopping
As mentioned above today I want to share how I help the planet on a daily basis. First off, mindful shopping. What I mean by this is I try to buy products that are easily recyclable or are made from recycle packing. For this very reason I am a big fan of Love Beauty and Planet. Their products are created from 100% recyclable packaging, are vegan and cruelty-free and are made with organic coconut oil and naturally derived ingredients. Since hair products is something I use daily, I want to use products that better the earth, not hurt it. Let me tell you a little more about Love Beauty and Planet.
Love Beauty and Planet
Naturally my favorite product by Love Beauty and Planet is their pink rose collection. I use the conditioner and shampoo plus the dry shampoo. I mean what Mom does not live off of dry shampoo, right? This line moisturizes and detangles while helping maintain vibrant hair color! The conditioner is infused with Organic Coconut Oil and Murumuru Butter and is made with handpicked Bulgarian Rose Petals. The Love Beauty And Planet Murumuru Butter & Rose line is Paraben and silicone free, vegan and not tested on animals.
They also carry other products such as Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower Body Wash , Volume and Bounty Juicy Grapefruit Dry Shampoo andCoconut Milk and White Jasmine Light Hold & Frizz Control Hair Spray.
2. Recycle Recycle Recycle
Recycling is something that has been important to me since I was a little girl. I recycle everything in my house. Whether its by reusing glass containers, reducing waste by throwing it into a compost bin, or just dropping recyclable items off at the recycling bin. This is also why I love Love Beauty and Planet- their products are made with recycled material. I wish more companies would do the same!
3. Using Reusable Grocery Bags
Another way I help the earth is by reducing plastic waste by bring in my own reusable grocery bags. If you are looking for an easy way to help our planet, this is it! It does not get easier than bringing in your own grocery bags into grocery! I reuse bags that are given to me at events and just load them up with groceries. If I forget my reusable bag, I make it a point to take all my plastic bags to be recycled at the same grocery store. In my experience all grocery stores have a recycle bin inside their store for plastic bags.
4. Using Reusable Straws
I am not going to lie, this is the area I struggle with the most. This year I made it one of my New Years Resolutions to stop using plastic straws. I know its not easy because grabbing a plastic straw at restaurants is almost second nature! But by packing paper or reusable straws in my purse, I’ve been able to be more successful with it!
My Challenge to You
How do you help our planet on a daily basis? If you don’t, I am challenging you to start today. You are welcome to use one any of the 4 ways I care for the planet or come up with a few of your own!
