Although fashionably late, I am interested to be in the run to save our planet by going green, natural and less waste. Although I was never, and will never be obsessed with just about everything, I wanted to take my own, baby steps to finally be a better person one day

I believe that: small steps are better than none

So here are my non-obsessed journey/baby steps towards less waste :

1. To use plastic free products

To never use a single plastic in life seems too much/huge step, so I'd set my expectation low. To buy fruits/veges using mesh bag is easy, bring own container to take away food is even easier. But still, I am imagining my garbage plastics while typing this, feeling a little concern although it says degradable (but did not mention when, 5 years? 10 years? what about my favourite Tommee Tippee sangenic? *cry*)

One that I am definitely working on now is : to never using a plastic straws, and to skip/use my own metal straws instead. This is easy, since I am bringing clean cultery and chopstick for Seff anyway. I'd toss them all together into my bag/baby bag

2. To go for a plastic free beauty products

I think when it comes to Change, I shall start from my own personal belonging first. In 2019, I'd like to try plastic-free products, feeling good about them before making a long term commitment. The products are : Hair care (Shampoo, Conditioner), Skin Care (Facial Wash, Toner, Moisturizer & Serum) to Body Care (Body Wash, Toothpaste, Body Butter/Lotion). These are all that I continuously bought, usually every 2-3 months

Would I like to change my make-up products? Not at the moment, no. Because I am not using too much make-up, even my all-time favourite Tarte BB Tinted Treatment Primer lasted me more than 6months, so I think I am doing just fine.. We'll work on this one later

3. Buying items in large size/bulk (without wasting the products)


Whenever I can't find a plastic-free alternatives, I vow to buy deluxe size items only once before committing to a larger size. Buying in bulk also means less trip, last longer and therefore, less waste. This one is especially for all my baby items (Mustela products, Buds Toothpaste, etc)
