𝐎𝐦𝐠 𝐦𝐲 @𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝟓 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐥𝐝?!! 😱😱😱⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ How could I not bring up #menstrualcups for @temasekshophouse #carboncopychallenge? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I ordered this in Jan 2016 after watching a BuzzFeed video on #menstrualcup but couldn't find an affordable one in sg. Can't rmb how but I found #freedomcups and took a chance. I'm very lucky because I've only tried 2 cups so far and the one most suitable for me is my first one (pictured here). Not such an easy journey for all. ⁣⁣ I really had a newfound freedom and my relationship with my periods really improved. I could go to my muay Thai classes with confidence and not worry if my pads moved. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I can also measure my flow, which came very useful cos I have #PCOS and my gynae needs me to measure. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Also, peep the social outreach that they do to empower menstruating people with the cups so we can all have the education and life we deserve. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Fun fact: I have anemia so when my iron levels are low, the blood stains the cup badly. When I got my levels up, it doesn't stain so badly. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I've booked my cups between cycles for sterilisation and it's still good as new. I love it so much I am basically an MC evangelist. . ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Last but not least I'd like to thank @freedomcups for not only existing, but thriving. And also kick-starting my low waste journey. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #supportlocal #ecoliving #consciousliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CNh-S_9HlEz/?igshid=1f2g8tmoz4725

𝐑𝐄𝐔𝐒𝐄 your glassware! 🥰⁣⁣ I have been obsessed with collecting used jars and tin boxes like a magpie, and my friends and fam have been indulgent. I'm slowly able to store small amounts of spices and what nots for cooking and some kitchen spells. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It feels so shabby-chic, eclectic and cottage-witch. I can't wait to have my own home when I can store all these nicely on my shelves. I love how irregular shaped they are. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I guess I'm just like my mom hoarding Tupperwares, but just that I'm hoarding glass jars and not spending a single cent on them. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Sometimes, I gift my friends some of my homemade jam in them. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ @temasekshophouse only challenged me for one post but I'm feeling it haha. ⁣⁣ #carboncopychallenge #glassjars #reuse #greenwitch #ecoliving #consciousliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CNhiACpnWGN/?igshid=8htr0a4am93f

These are 𝐒𝐎𝐀𝐏𝐍𝐔𝐓𝐒 for laundry! ⁣⁣ Yes they have suds!!! ⁣⁣ 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐩𝐞 👉 to see the suds in action. ⁣⁣ -- ⁣⁣ Aka soapberry, reetha, so many names...they are native to the Himalayan and Southern India. ⁣⁣ Our asian ancestors have so much wisdom in their conscious way of life, I am ashamed I only got to know of these through western eco-trends 😅⁣⁣ 💕Special thanks to @troveofgaia who first educated me on soapnuts!⁣⁣ I have been testing these out with my laundry for about a year now. I had initial worries of it not being powerful enough, not soapy enough, no scent, etc. But all my worries gone away when I kinda found how much my ratio of soapnuts to use. ⁣⁣ These bunch of soapnuts can be used for at least 5 more washes before they completely breakdown. I made the noob mistake of buying linen bags to contain them, when I could just throw them in my socks. ⁣⁣ The best thing about this, is I realised that I am a wee bit allergic to commercial detergents. Some people also use it for 'shampooing', but unfortunately it didn't work for me. ⁣⁣ They smell like dried logans, but inedible!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Soapnuts are strong and yet gentle enough for delicates, silk, batik, scarfs and our pretty ethnic clothes. ⁣⁣ It's so amazing I found these because otherwise delicates detergent often are costly. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ You may buy them with our local stockists! ⁣⁣ @troveofgaia @eco_le_sg @scoopwholefoods_sg ⁣⁣ More people reducing their waste is better than a handful of zero-wasters! ⁣⁣ What are little ways you reduce your carbon footprint? ⁣⁣ @temasekshophouse #CarbonCopyChallenge ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Tagging my friends for the challenge! @_clarrot_ @min.starr.sher @theovenbreaker #soapnuts #ecoliving #ecocleaning #reducereuserecycle #consciousliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CNhcuwJHTKs/?igshid=o554yike445b
