Aloe Vera Shampoo bar (from Ecossentials)

Always wondered if there is a shampoo bar that foams nicely and doesn’t dry out your hair too much? After I coloured my hair I […] Read More

Welcome to Conscious & Cute, my name is Christine and I use this blog to post about my journey to living more consciously. I'm trying to integrate low waste, self care and environmentalism into my life as much as possible and love sharing ways to make this easier for you!

Can baby wipes be sustainable?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I came across this brand @Thecheekypanda_uk on Instagram first and a while later in my local organic supermarket. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I started buying and using them because I sadly have IBS and sometimes want and need that extra little bit of freshness and hygiene. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wasn’t going the washable wipes route because to be honest it would be way too much effort and I don’t use these that often that I could dedicate a washing machine to a load of those. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So getting a more sustainable brand of wipes seemed like the best solution to me. Since I find this brand so great, I definitely wanted to share for those in a similar situation, or for those with babies and on the go: full review is in my bio! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you ever use wipes?

I went to visit @minimal_antwerp for some eco hous I went to visit @minimal_antwerp for some eco household goodies!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Curious to see what I got? Swipe!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s what I bought:
- a new brush head for my kitchen scrubber
- a sponge because my roomie does still prefer sponges over scrubbers or rags
- a new charcoal stick for my water, I got our water tested and it’s perfectly healthy but somehow I prefer the taste after charcoal has soaked in it
- recyclable electric toothbrush heads, just return to the store!
- ecoegg detox tabs (review on the blog), these just clean the rubbers of my washing machine like nothing else to be honest! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have any awesome local eco shops? I loooove Minimal, they have everything you need 😍

✨ Pisces Energy ✨ Sometimes I believe in astr ✨ Pisces Energy ✨
Sometimes I believe in astrology and other times I’m like ‘ehmmm..’ but let’s be real, everyone wants to belong and relate to something and one thing we all have is a zodiac sign! I actually love zodiac memes and always find mine relatable. How about you?
I got this coffee cup from one of my besties and have been using it non stop as I have been working on my company (@consciousco.be), I need to remind myself to take time for relaxation and friends which I can forget now that we’re still in a (half) lockdown here in Belgium.
I guess the point of this post is that I’ve been very busy and I wanted to remind you guys to connect with your friends and relax enough!
This post was all over the place but #pisces right? 🤪

Missing the summer time for the first time ever. Missing the summer time for the first time ever. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I absolutely love smoothie bowls but during the winter I’m always too cold to make one so I’ve been missing them! Usually I really enjoy winter but this year it’s been hitting me hard. I miss summer, a summer I didn’t have this year. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I didn’t really have a fun summer due to covid, I didn’t travel, didn’t get to go swimming and barely even got to go outside. Winter came too soon for my mental health!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This winter isn’t the same either. Christmas was the weirdest. I didn’t see my own family. We usually have a big party and invite a lot of people that don’t really celebrate christmas on their own to enjoy food and drinks with us in our home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m missing the people, the cosiness, the parties and laughter.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the other hand 2020 gave me much needed time and space to figure out a lot about myself. I choose to find the good in everything right now, but that doesn’t mean our struggles aren’t real.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I would like to give you a little space to tell me about what you’re missing or even what you’re grateful about right now. All feelings are valid and I would love to know more about my followers ❤️

Another year of conscious shopping? Yes please!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been on a journey for years now to be more sustainable and my wardrobe is one of the big elements I focus on.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the biggest ways to reduce my impact is simply buying less and using and mending what I have.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That being said I do have a passion for fashion and enjoy finding and combining new pieces very much. I’ve also lost weight which required some new pieces anyway (lucky me ha!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s some other ways I shop more sustainably:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- secondhand stores 
- secondhand online for example on @vinted
- hand me downs from family and friends
- instagram sales from friends or acquaintances
- flea markets
- secondhand programs such as Zalando Zircle (more of these initiatives would be amazing!) 
- local and small stores
- sustainable and ethical clothings brands
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are your tips to buy more sustainable clothing? Do you want to make any changes this year?

PS: excuse my mess, another part of my sustainable journey is decluttering without throwing anything in the trash 😅
