How on earth do you keep hold of your cleansing bar while in the shower??<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had ventured into the rather limited world of cleansing bars a few years prior, and after losing a majority of the product either down the drain (bars too soft) or by dropping it on the shower floor and turning it into a pile of mush (inevitable user error) I had reluctantly given up and returned to bottled shower gel. But I couldn\u2019t shake the sense of guilt every time I emptied a bottle and put it into the recycling, knowing that most of the bottles would never be properly recycled once collected into the refuse system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, with renewed commitment, I decided to research potential solutions for my issue. I figured, some clever person must have come across the same problem and created a neat little fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below you\u2019ll find posts related to shower and bath related items that I have trialed, such as sponges, shower pouf\u2019s, razors etc. Hopefully you\u2019ll be able to find some new sustainable favourites of your own&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n      <div id=\"post-grid-lazy-180\" class=\"post-grid-lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" \/><\/div>\n    <script>\n      jQuery('#post-grid-lazy-180').ready(function($) {\n        $('#post-grid-lazy-180').fadeOut();\n        $('#post-grid-180   ').fadeIn();\n      })\n    <\/script>\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n      #post-grid-180 {\n        display: none;\n      }\n\n      .post-grid-lazy {\n        text-align: center;\n      }\n    <\/style>\n    <div data-options='{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;180&quot;,&quot;lazy_load&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;masonry_enable&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;view_type&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;}' id=\"post-grid-180\" class=\"post-grid grid\">\n    \n\n\n    <div class=\"grid-items\">\n      <div class=\"item item-112 skin flat even 0 \">\n        <div class=\"layer-wrapper layout-169\">\n          <div class=\"element element_1633201567702  thumb \">\r\n                    <img data-opt-id=1026002473  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mlbe88yzsnom.i.optimole.com\/w:976\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/7D5A7190-A07D-4EF5-A2E9-CC36569099FA.jpeg\">\r\n            <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"element element_1633193719576  title \">\r\n                    <a target=\"_blank\"\r\n                href=\"https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/?p=112\">E-Know soap bag<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n    <div\r\n        class=\"element element_1633193696189  excerpt_read_more \">\r\n        I stumbled across the E-Know soap bag while trawling through an Amazon search for replacement options for my Tabitha Eve soap saver.        <a target=\"_blank\"\r\n            href=\"https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/?p=112\">Read more<\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"element element_1633193700961  post_date \">\r\n                    26\/12\/2021            <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div><div class=\"item item-114 skin flat odd 1 \">\n        <div class=\"layer-wrapper layout-169\">\n          <div class=\"element element_1633201567702  thumb \">\r\n                    <img data-opt-id=112538415  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mlbe88yzsnom.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/208DBD9F-B267-472D-BD30-3B78E241C551.jpeg\">\r\n            <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"element element_1633193719576  title \">\r\n                    <a target=\"_blank\"\r\n                href=\"https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/?p=114\">Tabitha Eve Biodegradable bath pouf<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n    <div\r\n        class=\"element element_1633193696189  excerpt_read_more \">\r\n        Tabitha Eve's biodegradable bath pouf is made of organic cotton and has been created in a way that is both vegan and cruelty free.

From Shampoo and Conditioner bottles, shower gels, body lotions, bubble bath, shower puffs, razors, I mean the list is endless&#8230; It felt like a good place to start making a positive impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most regularly replaced item in my repertoire was shower gel, so I decided to investigate solid bar alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It had been literal years since I had entertained the idea of solid bar soap products, mostly due to the fact that they had a rather old-fashioned image, didn&#8217;t seem to inspire much in the way of luxury and invoked memories of soggy, sloppy bars that seemed to go soggy after sitting in water for too long, so it was surprising and interesting to see the vast array of products now available to consumers, from the traditional &#8220;old-favourites&#8221; such as Dove beauty cream bars and Simple Soap bars for sensitive skin, to newer and seemingly more sustainability focused brands now springing up on retail shelves, both virtual and physical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One aspect that I was pleased to see, particularly from the more sustainability positioned brands was the attention to detail regarding packaging. A majority of brands had shifted away from plastic wrappings, instead opting for cardboard or paper sleeves, much more suited to recycling. Finally, the retail beauty sector is waking up to eco-conscious beauty! Let&#8217;s be honest, it&#8217;s about time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is my collection of posts related solely to swapping liquid shower gels in bottles, for more eco-friendly bars. I hope you are able to find something useful to support in your own sustainability endeavours.<\/p>\n\n\n      <div id=\"post-grid-lazy-166\" class=\"post-grid-lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" \/><\/div>\n    <script>\n      jQuery('#post-grid-lazy-166').ready(function($) {\n        $('#post-grid-lazy-166').fadeOut();\n        $('#post-grid-166   ').fadeIn();\n      })\n    <\/script>\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n      #post-grid-166 {\n        display: none;\n      }\n\n      .post-grid-lazy {\n        text-align: center;\n      }\n    <\/style>\n    <div data-options='{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;166&quot;,&quot;lazy_load&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;masonry_enable&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;view_type&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;}' id=\"post-grid-166\" class=\"post-grid grid\">\n    \n\n\n    <div class=\"grid-items\">\n      <div class=\"item item-158 skin flat even 0 \">\n        <div class=\"layer-wrapper layout-169\">\n          <div class=\"element element_1633201567702  thumb \">\r\n                    <img data-opt-id=1033569448  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlbe88yzsnom.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:674\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/4507E635-7ABF-43A6-8FD7-6C12BBC2F3FE.jpeg\"  decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mlbe88yzsnom.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:674\/q:eco\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/4507E635-7ABF-43A6-8FD7-6C12BBC2F3FE.jpeg\">\r\n            <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"element element_1633193719576  title \">\r\n                    <a target=\"_blank\"\r\n                href=\"https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/?p=158\">Dr Bronner Pure Castile bar vs. Ethique Body wash bar<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n    <div\r\n        class=\"element element_1633193696189  excerpt_read_more \">\r\n        Before diving head first into the world of body wash bars, I wanted to do a little research as to established brands in the market.

With a plethora of shampoo bars now making their way onto the market, there is plenty to choose from. From established brands to entrepreneurial start-ups challenging their more mainstream competitors, I&#8217;ve been testing a variety of options. Key to my mission was not only that the product itself should be effective, both in performance and cost, but also shouldn&#8217;t be accompanied with unnecessary plastic, or otherwise, packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is my collection of posts regarding shampoo bar swaps. <\/p>\n\n\n      <div id=\"post-grid-lazy-247\" class=\"post-grid-lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" \/><\/div>\n    <script>\n      jQuery('#post-grid-lazy-247').ready(function($) {\n        $('#post-grid-lazy-247').fadeOut();\n        $('#post-grid-247   ').fadeIn();\n      })\n    <\/script>\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n      #post-grid-247 {\n        display: none;\n      }\n\n      .post-grid-lazy {\n        text-align: center;\n      }\n    <\/style>\n    <div data-options='{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;247&quot;,&quot;lazy_load&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;masonry_enable&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;view_type&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;}' id=\"post-grid-247\" class=\"post-grid grid\">\n    \n\n\n    <div class=\"grid-items\">\n      <div class=\"item item-411 skin flat even 0 \">\n        <div class=\"layer-wrapper layout-169\">\n          <div class=\"element element_1633201567702  thumb \">\r\n                    <img data-opt-id=1362132716  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlbe88yzsnom.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_3057.jpeg\"  decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mlbe88yzsnom.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:1024\/q:eco\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_3057.jpeg\">\r\n            <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"element element_1633193719576  title \">\r\n                    <a target=\"_blank\"\r\n                href=\"https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/?p=411\">Klorane Softening Solid Shampoo Bar with Oat Milk<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n    <div\r\n        class=\"element element_1633193696189  excerpt_read_more \">\r\n        With so many shampoo bars now available I am still very much in my \"discovery phase\" for identifying what might be my all time favourite.\n\nAfter trying a few shampoo bars from brands I would consider to be \"eco-beauty disrupters\", I wanted to try some offerings from some of the more established brands in the market.

Things like Deodorant, dental floss, dental brushes etc. Yet this category can be particularly difficult to find successful sustainable swaps for. Single use or throwaway plastic is in abundance, and the main players in the market have been incredibly slow to develop more sustainable replacements for their problematic packaging. This has typically seen me searching out niche startup, fledgling or otherwise little known brands to fill this gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is my collection of posts regarding items I deem to fall under the \u201cpersonal care\u201d category.

While many of these are undoubtedly recyclable, the estimation of the amount of plastic that is successfully recycled makes for pretty depressing reading. According to the 2017 Science Advances paper, entitled; Production, use and fate of all plastics ever made, only 9% of all plastic production to date has been recycled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/318567844_Production_use_and_fate_of_all_plastics_ever_made\">https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/318567844_Production_use_and_fate_of_all_plastics_ever_made<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With statistics like that, I couldn\u2019t continue to blindly contribute to the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n      <div id=\"post-grid-lazy-208\" class=\"post-grid-lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" \/><\/div>\n    <script>\n      jQuery('#post-grid-lazy-208').ready(function($) {\n        $('#post-grid-lazy-208').fadeOut();\n        $('#post-grid-208   ').fadeIn();\n      })\n    <\/script>\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n      #post-grid-208 {\n        display: none;\n      }\n\n      .post-grid-lazy {\n        text-align: center;\n      }\n    <\/style>\n    <div data-options='{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;208&quot;,&quot;lazy_load&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;masonry_enable&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;view_type&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;}' id=\"post-grid-208\" class=\"post-grid grid\">\n    \n\n\n    <div class=\"grid-items\">\n      <div class=\"item item-36 skin flat even 0 \">\n        <div class=\"layer-wrapper layout-169\">\n          <div class=\"element element_1633201567702  thumb \">\r\n                    <img data-opt-id=947015385  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlbe88yzsnom.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:718\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DFB66982-B5B5-493B-956C-6F78350D09DD-min.jpeg\"  decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mlbe88yzsnom.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:718\/q:eco\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DFB66982-B5B5-493B-956C-6F78350D09DD-min.jpeg\">\r\n            <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"element element_1633193719576  title \">\r\n                    <a target=\"_blank\"\r\n                href=\"https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/?p=36\">Ocean Saver household cleaning products<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n    <div\r\n        class=\"element element_1633193696189  excerpt_read_more \">\r\n                <a target=\"_blank\"\r\n            href=\"https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/?p=36\">Read more<\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"element element_1633193700961  post_date \">\r\n                    26\/06\/2021            <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"pagination\">\n      <div class=\"paginate\">\n      <\/div>\n  <style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #post-grid-208 .pagination .page-numbers {\n      font-size: 16px;\n      color: #fff;\n      background: #646464;\n    }\n\n    #post-grid-208 .pagination .page-numbers:hover,\n    #post-grid-208 .pagination .page-numbers.current {\n      background: #4b4b4b;\n    }\n  <\/style>\n  <\/div>\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633201567702 {\r\n            overflow: hidden;\r\n                    }\r\n\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633201567702 img {\r\n            max-width: 100%;\r\n            height: auto;\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        @media only screen and (min-width: 1024px) {\r\n            .layout-169 .element_1633201567702 {\r\n                            }\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px) {\r\n            .layout-169 .element_1633201567702 {\r\n                            }\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        @media only screen and (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 767px) {\r\n            .layout-169 .element_1633201567702 {\r\n                            }\r\n        }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633193719576 {\r\n            font-size: 20px;\r\n            margin: 10px 0;\r\n            text-align: left;\r\n                    }\r\n\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633193719576 a {\r\n            font-size: 20px;\r\n            margin: 10px 0;\r\n            text-align: left;\r\n                    }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633193696189 {\r\n            text-align: left;\r\n                    }\r\n\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633193696189 a {\r\n                    }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633193700961 {\r\n            text-align: left;\r\n                    }\r\n\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633193700961 a {\r\n                    }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n      <script>\n          <\/script>\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #post-grid-208 {\n      padding: 10px;\n          }\n\n    #post-grid-208 .item {\n      padding: 0px;\n      background: #fff;\n          }\n\n    #post-grid-208 .item .layer-media {\n      height:auto;

Zero waste grocery deliveries. One thing that would always grind my gears, is noticing the sheer amount of single use plastic in our groceries. It\u2019s unavoidable, right? Groceries are of course, necessary. But I couldn\u2019t let go of this nagging frustration that the big players in the supermarket arena just weren\u2019t doing enough to address the volume of single use plastic that flows through their supply chains, into our homes, and with the best of intentions and where possible, into our recycling waste.        <a target=\"_blank\"\r\n            href=\"https:\/\/www.lianneblogs.com\/?p=377\">Read more<\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"element element_1633193700961  post_date \">\r\n                    29\/05\/2022            <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"pagination\">\n      <div class=\"paginate\">\n      <\/div>\n  <style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #post-grid-386 .pagination .page-numbers {\n      font-size: 16px;\n      color: #fff;\n      background: #646464;\n    }\n\n    #post-grid-386 .pagination .page-numbers:hover,\n    #post-grid-386 .pagination .page-numbers.current {\n      background: #4b4b4b;\n    }\n  <\/style>\n  <\/div>\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633201567702 {\r\n            overflow: hidden;\r\n                    }\r\n\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633201567702 img {\r\n            max-width: 100%;\r\n            height: auto;\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        @media only screen and (min-width: 1024px) {\r\n            .layout-169 .element_1633201567702 {\r\n                            }\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px) {\r\n            .layout-169 .element_1633201567702 {\r\n                            }\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        @media only screen and (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 767px) {\r\n            .layout-169 .element_1633201567702 {\r\n                            }\r\n        }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633193719576 {\r\n            font-size: 20px;\r\n            margin: 10px 0;\r\n            text-align: left;\r\n                    }\r\n\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633193719576 a {\r\n            font-size: 20px;\r\n            margin: 10px 0;\r\n            text-align: left;\r\n                    }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633193696189 {\r\n            text-align: left;\r\n                    }\r\n\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633193696189 a {\r\n                    }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633193700961 {\r\n            text-align: left;\r\n                    }\r\n\r\n        .layout-169 .element_1633193700961 a {\r\n                    }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n      <script>\n          <\/script>\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #post-grid-386 {\n      padding: 10px;\n          }\n\n    #post-grid-386 .item {\n      padding: 0px;\n      background: #fff;\n          }\n\n    #post-grid-386 .item .layer-media {\n      height:auto;    }\n\n    @media only screen and (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 767px) {\n      #post-grid-386 .grid-items {\n        display: grid;\n        grid-template-columns: 1fr ;\n        column-gap: 10px;\n        row-gap: 10px;\n              }\n\n      #post-grid-386 .item {\n        height:auto;      }\n    }\n\n    @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px) {\n      #post-grid-386 .grid-items {\n        display: grid;\n        grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr ;\n        column-gap: 10px;\n        row-gap: 10px;\n              }\n\n      #post-grid-386 .item {\n        max-height:auto;      }\n    }\n\n    @media only screen and (min-width: 1024px) {\n      #post-grid-386 .grid-items {\n        display: grid;\n        grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr ;\n        column-gap: 10px;\n        row-gap: 10px;\n              }\n\n      #post-grid-386 .item {\n        height:auto;      }\n    }\n\n      <\/style>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reducing my impact on our environment has become really important to me in recent years, and I have looked at ways to improve my sustainability in many aspects of my lifestyle, from personal hygiene and beauty, to household cleaning and even to how I purchase my groceries.
