Beauty Health & Well-being Lifestyle

Making Small Sustainable Changes To My Health & Beauty Routine.

By now I am hoping that most people living on this beautiful planet are aware of the need to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Over the last couple of years my own family have become eco warriors and are now experts at recycling or reusing our household waste. This year we are stepping it up even further and trying to apply the green ethos to other areas of our life. For my part, I am putting my health and beauty routine under the ‘green microscope’ and trying to see where I can make small sustainable changes for good.

Are you making sustainable changes to your health and beauty routine?

Did you know that Brits spend an average of £300 per year on health and beauty products, but almost two thirds (62%) don’t purchase sustainable options, believing them to be too expensive? Even worse in my opinion, 21% of us leave the water running when we clean our teeth and nearly a quarter (22%) still use beauty products that have a harmful impact on the environment!

For this post I have partnered with TePe an oral health brand I have enormous respect for as it has recently introduced TePe GOOD, a new sustainable toothbrush and overall sustainability initiative that aims to make a difference for the good of the planet.

Everyday steps we can take to reduce our environmental footprint.

 

Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth!

Or take a shower instead of a bath. These simple steps will not only reduce your water wastage but could also save you a lot of money on your water bill.

Swap your plastic toothbrush for a sustainable one.

We are all now using the new TePe GOOD toothbrush. Developed in collaboration with dental experts, the TePe GOOD toothbrush is the UK’s first sustainable, bio-based toothbrush, made from sugarcane and castor oil and produced in Sweden using 100% green energy. This is brilliant news for our planet because it enables TePe to recirculate up to 95% of the CO2 emissions during the toothbrush’s lifecycle, without compromising on quality, design or hygiene.

Invest in multi-purpose products

I now invest in multi-purpose makeup products. I have chunky eye crayons that double up as blushers and I always use a moisturiser that has a SPF in it therefore, doubling up as a facial sun cream! Multi use products mean less waste and work out to be more cost effective. Win win!

Reduce your use of electrical appliances.

Small electrical appliances such as hair tongs, straighteners and electric toothbrushes, can use a lot of energy. Less use = lower electricity bill. We have just booked to have a smart meter fitted, I am hoping it will make us all aware of how much we use daily.

 

What my family thought about the Tepe GOOD toothbrush.

 

Making Small Sustainable Changes To My Health & Beauty Routine.

 

My thoughts: I like the colour, it’s lightweight, has a comfortable handle and great brush shape for ease of brushing. It works and is helping to save the planet. Perfect!

The teenager thinks: It’s cool and is fascinated by the sugarcane content.

The other half: has been happily using it without complaint. Believe me, if he didn’t approve, I would know all about it!

 

Available from Waitrose and other leading supermarkets. RRP a reasonable £2.75 . Will you give it a try?

Hello February! Happy as Larry with an armful of new fabric, bargain priced fabric, those lace fabrics were £1 pm 😳From local store @hansonsfabricsandcrafts Day made 🙌🏻
.
Big hello to new followers , let me reintroduce myself . . . I’m Ashley 👋🏻 a fabric and yarn obsessed midlife ‘gal’ 
Former air stewardess, costume maker and retail store manager. 
An empty nester with son at University, (he’s not too far away 😭) I feathered a new nest with 2 cats who live happily with our two dogs. 
My partner and I are keen on restoring pre loved vintage items of furniture lighting etc into unique pieces for our home. He does the hard work I draw the sketches and point at things. 
I post about my handmade life, sewing and crochet projects, our home restorations and occasionally the clothes and beauty products I wear and use as a midlife woman .
I find it very hard to be niche as I have too much to say! 
I have also been writing my blog Lazy Daisy Jones (link in bio) for almost 10 years. 
I very much enjoy connecting with other midlife girls on insta and proving it’s not just for the under 30’s . 
Leave me a comment if you are over 35 and any of this resonates with you Hellooooo x

Proud Muvva ! 
2nd year of his commercial photography degreeand a selection of my boy’s @jacobcramp work can be found in @pierjournal issue 2.
I think he takes timeless portraits. He only uses film and develops his own film too. I won’t mention what he thinks about digital photography ( 😳) 
He is also becoming an very good cook. He cooks for us when he visits. 
I can’t wait to see what the future brings for him.

Me, my dog, a bowl of crochet monsters, coffee brewing and chocolate digestives in the tin. Welcome to my world. I’m so rock ‘n roll it hurts!

Book is where the patterns for the monsters can be found, save for reference it’s a good one.
