DIY toothpaste + a #brushwithbamboo toothbrush makes @plasticfreemermaid teeth sparkle! ✨😁✨
•
DIY TOOTHPASTE

2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp bicarb (baking soda)

Over 1 billion toothpaste tubes get sent to landfill every year. Despite the chasing arrows ♻️ they are not recyclable, can you guess why?

Stop the waste, make your own paste!

🌿The key ingredient in this toothpaste is BRUSHING. The point is to remove cavity causing plaque & food! So more important than the paste is the frequency of brushing & flossing. All toothpaste is abrasive, but if you’re worried your enamel will wear down use more coco oil (which is fab for your mouth being all antibacterial antimicrobial & antifungal) & add white clay (like bentonite clay) and/or salt as the abrasive.

🌿Add in a drop of peppermint oil OR use my mermaid mouthwash after you brush for the freshest mintiest mouth ever & to make your essential oils last way longer (recipe in my book I Quit Plastics).

🌿Use a bamboo toothbrush, the ONLY bamboo tooth I endorse bc it’s the ONLY with 100% plant-based bristles: @brushwithbamboo use code MERMAID to get 10% 🧜🏼‍♀️💙✨

🌿Depending on your climate, the air temp may cause the coco oil to be melty (add more powders) or super solid (add more oil & clay). You may want to store your jar on it’s side, so you can run the brush along the paste OR keep a little spoon with the jar for sanitary scooping.

🌿If you keep this clean, it should last you 2-3 months. I like to just remake a batch when the jar empties. If you’re a scheduler, set a calendar reminder to carve out half hour to make your bath products all in one DIY session. Invite friends! Make extra for your fam! Spread the love.

Happy brushing. This is what I do, always always check with your healthcare professional, dentist, and do your own research to make the best decision for you. 💙

“IMPERFECT IMPACT💦
Did you know it takes up to 1,000 YEARS for a plastic toothbrush to completely decompose either in a landfill or marine environment???

Did you know it takes 80 years for dental floss to decompose?

No - switching over to bamboo toothbrushes + silk or plant based floss isn’t going to change the course of all human kind. It’s not the Superman of sustainability - but it’s a start.” - @homefillco

“Let’s talk hairbrushes!
.
Next time you have to replace your hair brush, consider shopping around for a more sustainable option that isn’t made of synthetic materials which will ultimately end up in our landfills ...
.
There are many options for sustainable hairbrushes out there nowadays! The brush we carry is from @brushwithbamboo and functions like a conventional hairbrush - but without the plastic!

“When properly cared for, this hair brush can last for decades.” The brush pins are made of bamboo, the cushion base is natural rubber, the handle is made of bamboo with a beeswax finish and the packaging is compostable paper.
.
For more information check out Brush With Bamboo’s website!

Happy Friday!! Enjoy your weekend everyone 🤗”

“Third way to be more sustainable- the heirloom Mayan loofah scrubber!
⁣
It is sourced from a Mayan family farm in Guatemala. These scrubbers are free of herbicides and pesticides. It will expand when wet. They're made of 100% plant fiber and are completely compostable. It will decompose in only 30 days!
⁣
Uses:
🍽 Wash dishes in the kitchen (change every 3-5 weeks)

🚿 Use instead of a plastic loofah to exfoliate in the shower

🛁 Can also clean sinks, tiles, and tubs with a cleaning agent”

“This was my first sustainable swap when I switched to this lifestyle years ago! Such an easy transition. 👌🏼

“...1 billion toothbrushes are thrown away each year in the United States.” via @onegreenplanet
⠀
It’s recommended that you change your toothbrush every 3-4 months. When was the last time you did? Make the switch now! 🌱”

Too often we put too much pressure on ourselves to be “perfect” and if we feel we cannot achieve that perfection - we either give up, or don’t start at all.
.
#Zerowaste & #Sustainability intimidates many people who feel that it is too big a task, “too late” to make a difference & too restrictive.
.
It is also intimidating to see some of the world’s top Zerowaste influencers with their seemingly perfectly plastic free lives who make it all look so easy and effortless! But like anything though it takes time, patience & practice.
.
At #BrushWithBamboo we hope to encourage people to - “start by starting”, not beat yourself up, and not expect or even desire perfection!
.
“We need more imperfect #environmentalists!”
.
#progressnotperfection
.
And...
.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step👣

It’s interesting to think of what the world would look like if we completely eliminated even just this 1 single item from our planet - the plastic toothbrush...
.
Revolutionary for its time, convenience, and with children’s brushes even having become relics of culture with their cute designs & graphics, the plastic toothbrush is so subconsciously engrained into our culture that we never stopped to think about its impact.... Until now & better late than never!
