*Guest Post*
I always try to find ways to become more eco-friendly in my daily life.
Last year, I made the switch to all natural deodorant, and I’ve recently made the switch to eco-friendly laundry detergent.
Switching to all natural deodorant was a big step for me. I had heard about the potential health risks associated with traditional deodorants and antiperspirants, so I did some research and decided to make the switch.
It took a little bit of time for my body to adjust, but I’m so glad I made the change.
Not only do I feel better knowing that I’m not putting harmful chemicals on my skin, but I also smell just as fresh as before if not better.
There are so many great natural deodorant options out there now, so it’s easier than ever to make the switch.
More recently, I made the switch to an eco-friendly laundry detergent. I never really thought about the impact that my laundry detergent could have on the environment until I started learning more about sustainability.
Traditional laundry detergents can contain harmful chemicals that can end up in our waterways, so I knew I needed to find a better alternative.
I found a great eco-friendly brand that uses natural, biodegradable ingredients and is also free from synthetic fragrances and dyes.
Not only am I reducing my impact on the environment, but my clothes come out just as clean and fresh as before.
Making these changes in my everyday life has been so rewarding. It’s empowering to know that my choices are making a positive impact on the planet.
I’ve also been inspired to continue looking for other areas where I can make more eco-friendly choices. It’s all about progress, not perfection, and every little change helps.
