Jungle Culture Eco-friendly Safety Razor for Women & Men
Like many women, I fully support embracing body hair. However, I personally dislike how it feels under my clothing. Because I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), excessive hair growth is something I deal with daily. This means shaving my legs and arms very frequently.
When you have to shave this often, finding a razor that actually works is essential.
otivated by my actions and blog, Sarah (my Personal Assistant and, most importantly, my best friend!) started her voyage towards her plastic-free future, starting with some Shampoo and Conditioners from Bath, Bubbles & Beyond, which I chose for her at at the Zero Waste shop, in Northwich. For anyone exploring options for Zero Waste Shampoo and Conditioner bars, this article shares our Bath, Bubble & Beyond Review and how the products helped Sarah begin her journey. In fact, this Bath, Bubble & Beyond Review highlights key details for anyone interested in sustainable haircare.
After putting off the transition until she returned from her fabulous fabulous holiday over Christmas, she started the new year with a new hair-care regime, and was more than pleasantly surprised by the ease and improvement in making this transition!
This post is a Zero Waste Lavandi Deodorant Review based on products provided to us for testing. I was given the Chamomile and Bergamot deodorant to test by our local Zero Waste shop about 4 weeks ago. In addition, Lavandi provided me with two other versions to try. I took the Sports version and Sarah tried the Cedarwood and Sage. If you’re looking for honest opinions, this Zero Waste Lavandi Deodorant Review covers three scents.
What I liked most is the fact that Lavandi are based in Northwich, Cheshire, where I live! Lavandi have seen the need for change and have created a range of recipes that are all-natural. Lavandi’s Organic Vegan Deodorants are made from only the finest ingredients and are Zero Waste. They provide excellent absorption and odour control. One application should last you all day. To apply, simply push up from the bottom of the tube, warm against your skin, and then glide over the required area. In fact, the Zero Waste Lavandi Deodorant Review highlights how effortless the application is.
I picked up some Oceansaver Anti Bac and a reusable spray bottle from my local zero waste shop a few weeks ago, and it is sooooooo amazing and easy to use! This is my honest product review of Ocean Saver Cleaning detergents. If you’re interested in Eco Cleaning detergents, this review will be helpful. In this review, I’m particularly focused on Eco Cleaning detergents and my experience with them. So far I have only tried the Anti-Bac, with great results – others are to follow! In addition, my experience with Ocean Saver Cleaning detergents has been very positive in this product review.
The Bird & Blend Tea Co. is “an eco-conscious, independent, people-focused, award winning Tea Mixology Company on a mission to spread happiness and reimagine tea” – As a Tea-Lover myself, this statement alone piqued my interest! In this Bird & Blend Tea Co review, I’ll share my honest thoughts and experiences. If you’ve been looking for a Bird&Blend Tea Co review, you’re in the right place.
So, when my loose-tea cupboard was looking bare in October, I popped off an order to them, and I was not disappointed!
Having used the same mouthwash for several decades, moving to “tablet” forms was daunting. This is my Georganics mouthwash tablets review. I decided to give theGeorganics Mouthwash Tablets – Thyme – by Georganics a try.
Georganics mouthwash tablets are made from entirely natural and non-toxic ingredients. The fluoride, glycerin and SLS free formula helps to restore a healthy pH balance to your mouth, maintain good oral health and freshen your breath. The tablets are perfect for travelling as they are a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional mouthwashes avoiding the unnecessary transportation of water (i.e. perfect for hand baggage!).
I was a tad nervous, it must be noted, to try toothpaste powder… but, having used a charcoal (traditional) toothpaste for years now, I decided to give the Natural Toothpowder – Activated Charcoal – by Georganics a go. This post is my honest Georganics Natural Toothpowder review after using the product. In fact, this Georganics Natural Toothpowder review aims to share my experience in detail.
Georganics naturally whitening toothpowder, with additional activated charcoal, works by absorbing and polishing away stains and plaque that naturally form on our teeth. It’s a completely safe and fast-effective formula made without the use of any chemicals like peroxides, fluoride compounds or synthetic flavourings. They blend this fine pharmaceutical activated charcoal with high quality mineral powders, all of which food grade so completely safe if accidentally ingested.”, the Activated Charcoal variety seemed a good choice (although it should be noted that there are many other flavours and variations of this product on offer… see below!). If you are looking for a detailed Georganics Natural Toothpowder review, this should help you decide.
Chocolate is one of the world’s favourite foods (it’s definitely mine!), so I was absolutely delighted when my friend, Sarah, treated me to some Cocoa Loco Dark Chocolate Ginger (OMG LOVE ginger!) from my local zero waste shop a few weeks back! In fact, trying Cocoa Loco chocolates for the first time was a real treat.
That was it…. I was hooked! Since then I have continued to treat myself to these when I have been into the shop…. and then the Dark Chocolate Mango…. mmmmm REALLY love this chocolate! By the way, chocolates from Cocoa Loco are available in so many delicious varieties to choose from.
There’s something to suit everyone with white chocolate, milk and dark options – the dark ones are suitable for vegans. Weigh of the World have also got a number of other flavours, including Chilli, Raspberry…. and bars! With so much choice, it’s easy to see why Cocoa Loco chocolates are loved by many.
I had never heard of Dingbats* until Christmas Day 2020 when my best friend (sharing my love of notebooks/bullet journals, and knowing that I was working towards a Zero Waste Life – and blogging in the process), gave me a Dingbats* notebook as a gift.
In the pocket, at the back of the notebook, was a small leaflet, which briefly detailed their product ranges and highlighted key features (discussed below). I tried them, following the link on the leaflet to find out more, then my love affair with Dingbats* began… in fact, 3 months later I ordered a further 5 journals, as well as some lovely dual-tipped pens!!
Why? What makes Dingbats* different/better than the Moleskine notebooks, which I have used for decades?
If you’re trying to live more sustainably but refuse to give up beautiful stationery, Dingbats* notebooks might just be your perfect middle ground.
What truly sets Dingbats* apart is sustainability. It isn’t an afterthought. It’s built into every part of the product lifecycle.
In this Dingbats notebooks review, I share my long‑term experience using their journals as part of a zero waste lifestyle.

Following my Product Review on Reusable Sanitary Products a few years ago, I have now been producing my own Sanitary Towels for some time – both for me and my friends! You’ll remember from my previous post regarding making these, that, not only have these been much more comfy to wear than those purchased, but my homemade ones have proven to be strong, absorbent and easily washed!
Compared to the brand of disposable pads I used prior, I would never go back…. No irritation and excellent absorbency!
In this post I wish to expand a little more into the eco fabrics/materials you can use and where to buy them in the UK.
