I'm sharing the bamboo toothbrushes that I've been collecting. There are some missing here, cause I use them for cleaning purposes and for my garden - #upcycling girl. It was a really easy swap, cause if you buy a brand plastic toothbrush it will be the same price as a bamboo one. Click to read the rest!

Make your own homemade takeaway kit! This one includes: a bag from male underwear, a reused jar, a napkin that belonged to my mum, chopsticks and a small spoon. I use chopsticks for whatever needs cutlery to be eaten, but you can substitute for a fork, a big spoon, or a spork! The small spoon for ice cream or pastry. Use whatever cutlery you have at home. Remember, the most sustainable thing to do is not to buy something, it’s to use whatever you already have. Big Spoon, Small Spoon, Male Underwear, Chopsticks, Diy Kits, Cutlery, Napkin, Fork

Peel some garlic cloves and put them into a jar with water. They will germinate and you can either use the greens or you can plant them in the soil (all covered, with the roots down and green out in the air). Or you can go half-half with them!

I make my own dish soap. It's a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to the conventional dish soap. I make it from used cooking oil to prevent that from being wasted and end up in a landfill, containating the soils and water systems, preventing the other waste from composting. I don't fry in my house, but I ask other people who do to store it and give it to me. If you are interested to know how I do it, check out my ebook page: ebooks.whollyjoana.com Composting, Water Systems, Ebooks, Alternative, Dish, Soap

This is the bar soap I use for both hair and body. It's actually the last piece of my first attempt of making homemade soap. It's a bit too hard, but it does the job and I actually like the way my hair and skin feels and looks after using it. | Este é o sabão que uso, tanto para corpo, como para o cabelo. Faz parte da primeira barra que tentei fazer. É um pouco duro demais, mas eu até gosto de como deixa a minha péle e o meu cabelo. Make It Yourself, Sustainable Development
