@noli.naturalskincare was kind enough to give me two products to review. I was super surprised by how well they worked and how much I loved them 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I reviewed both products pictured on my blog (link in bio!). I always give you my honest opinion, even when it’s a #gift. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The charcoal soap is super cleansing but didn’t dry out my skin or irritate at all.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The repairing solid lotion took a little getting used to but now I’m sold because my dry hands and legs need it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check out the full review if you’re interested! The link is in my bio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Saturday I visited one of my favorite spots in Ant Saturday I visited one of my favorite spots in Antwerp again, @degroenestadshut 
All non-essential shops are allowed to open again here in Belgium. Right in time for the holidays.
I don’t really have to buy any gifts for the holidays because my family doesn’t give gifts especially for christmas. We just tend to by things for eachother when we see something throughout the year and I love that honestly!
I do however have some birthdays coming up so during the end of the year I usually have to do some shopping and whenever I can, I try to support local businesses!
This visit to @degroenestadshut wasn’t for presents though, or at least not for someone else 😅
I got some very exciting things from @savonke.be that I will be posting about soon! 
And I can’t visit them without a good chat ofcourse 🙌🏻 we always have so much to talk about. I definitely recommend visiting them if you are near Antwerp and have any questions about a sustainable lifestyle!
Do you give gifts during the holidays? Where do you shop a lot?

I’m not vegan, I just eat a lot of vegan meals and have switched a lot of staples in my diet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A vegan lifestyle is one of the biggest positive things you can do for the environment. But you don’t have to be vegan to make a change.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By changing one meal a week or one product you often eat, you can already make a change!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A great place to start is trying a veggie dinner once a week or choosing a vegan snack like soya pudding, fruit with nuts or a baked good made with oil and no eggs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you eat vegan meals sometimes? Share your fav ones in the comments!

I’ve been using this Rub Rub Rub scrub from @lus I’ve been using this Rub Rub Rub scrub from @lush_antwerp during lockdown and was running out but stores have been reopened so I can get a new one this weekend yay!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’m definitely trying something new even though I quite liked this one (there’s a review on my blog consciousandcute.com if you’re interested!). I really miss a limited edition one Lush once did and I’m hoping to find some fun limited goodies again 🤩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you like Lush products? I have to say I’m kind of addicted!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Reminder to never throw electronics, lamps or batt Reminder to never throw electronics, lamps or batteries in the trash. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I save mine in a bag or box until I have a little collection and then I recycle them correctly by finding @recupel_be and @bebat_be collection points (usually found together in most big supermarkets!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I live in Belgium but most countries have initiatives like this. Recycling is free and saves so much valuable resources from going to waste.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t forget that batteries are even dangerous when they get into our environment!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So do your part and make sure you recycle these 🙌🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you always recycle correctly?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
