EMPTIES | vegan & cruelty free

[@lemon2639]

Thank you for you comment on the face wipes! Being low waste is about YOU doing the best YOU can. If that means someone has to use something that is disposable, that just means what they can do is different, not that they aren’t trying or that it’s your place to judge.

[@ems_h.eartnotes]

What Lemon said! Xxx

[@robertgenesis9278]

i guess im randomly asking but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.

[@wilderhenry3476]

@Robert Genesis Instablaster =)

[@robertgenesis9278]

@Wilder Henry Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@robertgenesis9278]

@Wilder Henry it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my ass!

[@xcluelessbeautyx]

Thank you for mentioning that some of us need convenience items. :) I have some mobility issues and find precut fruit easier as I have wrist and finger braces. 💕

[@kateliness2]

Thank you for commenting on straws, face wipes, etc.! I personally have no reason to use them on a regular basis but for some people they may be a necessity. Doing your best to leave a low footprint is exactly that - your own personal best, which is different for everyone. Inclusivity is important ❤

[@jasminec4639]

Thank you for mentioning that some people need to use single use items occasionally. My son has a sensory disability, and I get flack for him needing straws constantly. It’s not ideal but as a family we take care to use eco-friendly options as often as we CAN. I get shamed frequently, and this was really nice to hear someone acknowledge ❤️❤️❤️

[@rhianhy]

So happy to mention these things, i didn't realize for a long time until i saw people spreading awareness on twitter but it makes perfect sense and noting it helps us do better as a society.

[@ala4935]

thank you for mentioning face wipes working better for disabled people! that’s me. i still only use a few a month but they’re important in those times because i’d otherwise not wash my face at all.

[@marianne6373]

Conditioner first. Safety razor has been slightly life-changing. No more futile attempts to find a vegan and CF razor that works. My concern with make-up wipes is that they don't remove everything, and usually contain fragrance that is left on the skin if that's the only cleanser used. PS. Jasön has to dandruff shampoos that are vegan and CF- both are good, but one has a strong, peculiar smell and the other one smells good.

[@kate80]

Rhian you are the perfect example of having a strong viewpoint but not being preachy! So many cruelty free/sustainability people on the internet seem to think it’s all or nothing. I love that you give a lot of options but also realise that not everybody can do everything. I just wish more things were readily available in uk x

[@rhianhy]

Thank you for this

[@WendyWoo678]

I thought your shirt said ‘eat pants’ as there is sometimes a crease over the rose stem and the L’s. I don’t know why but this made me laugh 😂 🤷‍♀️

[@9melissal]

I go through way more conditioner than shampoo. I have long curly hair so I have to saturate it in conditioner so I have enough slip to detangle it without damaging it. Plus it needs a lot of moisture because curls are porous.

[@freyadwyer9841]

You are my favourite KZbinr! Seriously. Thank you for being you.

[@lovelygrayday8359]

I keep forgetting getting to order the DermaE Vitamin E lotion, which it crazy since my medicine cabinet is 90% DermaE. When I am up on my feet I am going to get my Lush to smell the Lush Beard wash, if I love it the hubby is getting to. I love the empty video, show that you don’t let things go to waste. Thanks again for all the 🖤 hard work.

[@LittleBit123]

Love the comment about wipes and straws etc.! Sometimes people need to take care of themselves first before they can help other people/things. (Also why the fuss about those things when there a lot of other things that could help the environment more.) I always finish conditioner first because I usually switch between 2 shampoos but only have 1 thing of conditioner!

[@julienorcross8548]

I use a safety razor to reduce waste for shaving! It looks like a very classic, old-style razor. It's metal, and all you do is replace the single blade in it, so there's no plastic involved. There's a bit of a learning curve to using it, but I really love mine! The blades are so cheap too, I got like 100 for a few bucks!

[@Nikachu0906]

I have super fine, super oily hair, and I always run out of shampoo first.

[@9melissal]

I have curly hair so I basically go through a travel size shampoo in the time I go through a jumbo bottle of conditioner, if that lol I have to have a good amount of conditioner to detangle and moisturize my hair because curls are by nature coarser and more porous.

[@jaylikewhoa8034]

I love when you stand up for us marginalized peeps. Also, we have similar oral care routines, I use the Hello sensitive toothpaste, and Desert Essence mouthwash BUT I use the whitening one with the blue label and it tastes SO MUCH better than the regular. Also, we're going to get you over to the safety razor side and your life will be so much better than struggling with Preserve.

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Love your empties videos!! I was planning on trying the dark version of loving tan, but I think I'll go with medium after hearing your thoughts!

[@bethbremeremrich6228]

I haven’t watched any of your videos in a while and now I’m sorry. You are such a joy to watch. You have such a natural way about you!! You are a stunning beautiful young woman. Thank you for doing what you do!! Congrats on the citizenship!!

[@itsorange6879]

the lighting! your hair!! DAMN SIS!

[@michelle5873]

I just got a mini frank scrub and I am in love! I want to try the cacao next! I left the mall with lush rose jam stock, frank body & stasher bags! So glad I found them :)

[@bethanyb38]

Great point about certain people in our society who may need items that many could consider wasteful. I never thought of it that way! Also, definitely use up shampoo first! I have super fine, oily hair too!

[@MidnighttMunchies]

highly recommend the lush shampoo bars!! the conditioner bars aren’t as good, but only because you have to use more product for it to work as well

[@rhianhy]

Yes! I love them too, its typically what i use, i've just had a few to try out in PR. I just received a new conditioner bar from them to try!

[@RageQuitGirlOfficial]

I use 2 bottles of conditioner to 1 bottle of shampoo! I do have bleached hair passed my hip though

[@rhianhy]

Haha! That'll do it! We are opposites.

[@nadareyene]

i use several conditioners & still have the the same shampoo bottle 😭 my hair is so thirsty anyways i love these kinds of videos + the mini reviews :-)

[@ana_drc]

Yaaaay! 👌🏻 It was such a great video, I love it! 👌🏻❤️ Thank you Rhian! ✨ I rarely use conditioner too my hair is too thin! Much love to you! 💜

[@m.jordan3008]

I always use shampoo first too!! I have long hair and i still use more shampoo. That oily scalp life.

[@willowsunshine1868]

Omg same with the shampoo!! I always finish it first and there's still half of my conditioner left! But I also have fine hair, but lots of it.

[@kendramx_vegan_rainbow98]

You are such a delight! I rarely use up conditioner. I probably buy 1 to every 5 or 6 bottles of shampoos! Color Pop brow products are fabulous and I cannot thank you enough for the recommendations! Also, cajun spice mix can popcorn is fabulous! When I was a kid, Sunday dinner was often popcorn and our favorite way to have it was with cajun spices! 🍿

[@rhianhy]

Ok i NEED to try the popcorn... i bet its amazing.

[@qimzel]

Thank you so much for being considerate about the reason why for some it's easier to have pre-packaged things, it's a link not many people make.. Thanks for being inclusive! 💜 From Belgium

[@miranda1]

I’ve been thinking about trying that coola face serum for a while and now that you’ve recommended it I definitely need it 💁🏼🤗

[@rhianhy]

I was dubious at first too since its a pricier product but its just so easy i always splurge on it now. Plus the skincare element to it is really lovely too.

[@recordtapesbackward]

now that the *concealer* is empty anyway, have you tried to remove the sponge tip? I saw it works amazingly well for the popular maybelline sponge tip concealer and I'm sure I'm not the only one curious to see if it works with the CT one without sacrificing the product! x

[@patty-cf7jj]

If I buy a matching shampoo and conditioner, I have to repurchase the shampoo at least 3 or 4 times before I get through the bottle of conditioner. I always use way more shampoo than I probably should and only a dab or conditioner. My hair is just like yours.

[@sarahmalott7025]

I started using that Derma E cream per your recommendation and I have been so happy with it! I use it on my hands, feet and elbows and it works some real magic. As far as the scent goes, I had originally thought it smelled a little like cucumbers but now all I smell is banana pudding 🤷‍♀️ I love it and my fiancé says it’s his favorite smelling of all of my lotions

[@lauradahlaya]

The osea toner mist is an essential that I recommend! I like the neutral scent.

[@taralynnb]

Pulled up KZbin, saw your face and I literally say "OH RHIAN!!!" and my boyfriend was like "Oh did she upload a new video today!?" haha he knows!

[@rhianhy]

Ahh love it!! x

[@TenderForms]

I also have fine hair and always go through shampoo first! I'm not even using conditioner right now but my scalp is suffering from it I think so going to add in a scalp treatment/oil soon!

[@cableknit]

I, like you, have fine/oily hair and I gave up on conditioner for a while but then I moved back to a less humid climate and now I use conditioner fairly regularly but found I can finally go a day between washing my hair which I have never been able to do without looking like I hadn’t showered in a month 😂 dry shampoo doesn’t do much for me

[@rhianhy]

I was able to train my hair/scalp to go longer between washes by cutting out conditioner too! Idk what you've tried but i will say, not all dry shampoos are created equal... i find the "invisible" ones that aren't powdery just do not work for me and if anything make it feel dirtier and heavy. Thats why i always go for the powdery ones and i especially love applying them at night!

[@janellebatta4126]

I go through at least 3 bottles of conditioner per bottle of shampoo. Maybe 5. But my hair can take A LOT of conditioner. Before I shower, I use the Pacifica Coconut Pro Strong & Long creamy oil mask, then I shampoo and rinse it out and apply the Pacifica Salty Waves conditioner. I'm totally addicted to the creamy oil mask.

[@carmelisamindrum9127]

Could you demonstrate how to use the solids? I like the concept but I’m nervous about their effectiveness compared to bottled shampoos, dish soap and such.

[@auroracid5417]

Susan Yara from a Mixed Makeup talked about makeup wipes not being good for your skin and now I stay away. Also, I wish lush shampoo bars were SLS free because it’s actually made my dandruff worse :(

[@9melissal]

I can't use their shampoos because of the sls either. It's a really bad ingredient for curly hair like mine

[@bannailee]

Shampoo. I like to double cleanse and only use most conditioners on the length of hair!

[@laurenlengen273]

Thanks again for a great video! Would you consider testing out Hibar solid shampoos and conditioners? Thank you!!

[@crystalvigil8136]

I always use up conditioner first. But I have thick dry hair so that's probably why.

[@rowanthomas9181]

Now I know you are wearing make-up but it looks flawless and very natural!! Really liked this video as well 😊😊❤️

[@rhianhy]

Aw thank you! I've been switching back to lighter products. So fun to change it up.

[@rchhcsupernova]

My bf also uses Kalamazoo, I bought it for his birthday, he loves it, and I do too, so we both use it. Also the "let the good times roll", both smell divine.

[@9melissal]

I love the smell of let the good times roll so much! But I think it breaks me out. Still I can't bring myself to throw it out yet just because of how much I enjoy smelling it

[@mcruthirds1]

Fine Hair Club over here 🙋‍♀️ I stick to travel size conditioners bc I go through those at the same speed as full-size shampoos!

[@heatherchase8935]

This video was very informative, thank you ♥️

[@sophied6247]

Love you Rhian, but I kept reading your shirt as "Cat Pants" 😂❤️😽

[@stuffthings3481]

Ha cant unsee that now 🙈

[@munajedski]

When I had long wavy permed hair years ago I used wayyy more conditioner. I have fine hair, so now the shampoo is used up first! 😉

[@cristianaazoitei]

I first use conditioner and then shampoo and my hair is hydrated but not weight down like it was when i use shampoo first

[@kelseysattler7226]

Leaf makes a nice zero waste razor if anyone is looking!

[@aguirret8]

I always use up my conditioner first... Always

[@cecilydriskill8339]

Yaaaaas!!! I’ve been waiting!!!

[@heatherchase8935]

For the dry shampoo would it be possible to take the top off and refill it with a dry shampoo that comes in one of the bottles that has a sprinkle top? I love my dry shampoo formula but it is easy to go overboard with. Have been looking for a solution.

[@Rachel-xx9hu]

I know I'm insane but these are my favorite videos. ❤ I just make notes of all the things I need.

[@rhianhy]

I totally get it though... lots of nano-reviews and seeing which things i've mentioned before that got used up. Its just always so weird when i'm setting up for the video... just bringing my trash to show my friends 😂

[@Rachel-xx9hu]

@@rhianhy well you keep it in the most chic way!! Lol. My husband was very confused as to why I wanted the Uniqfinds paper bag before I showed him your videos with it featured. Something about feeling like everything is chic/ perfected (Instagram layout cute) at home makes me feel like life is not as crazy as in my noggin lol.

[@heatherhouse8311]

People form habits better when using items that are convenient (face wipes, packaged food, etc). Better Than Before, by Gretchen Rubin, is a great book that informs people about habits and how to make better decisions.

[@bealotup1490]

Thank you 😊

[@maddywadsworth4312]

We use conditioner up first. My whole family shares the same shampoo & conditioner (The giant RenPure ones) and we all have long hair. So the conditioner goes very fast 😹

[@heatherhernandez5561]

I’ve had slap your mamma seasoning it’s good but I use Leblanc’s seasoning

[@tessafries1285]

LOVE to see slap ya mama, its my go-to seasoning for veggies on the grill, avo toast, and on pizza!! definitely recommend it on popcorn too :)

[@rhianhy]

Grilled veggies?!?! Why didn't i try this yet? Just bought more!

[@Jenapantano]

I run out of shampoo and conditioner about the same time. Within a wash or two of each other. 👍

[@liliancazzulo]

Just what I needed today.. 😘 thanks love!

[@stuffthings3481]

Shampoo first my conditioner last 2 shampoo bottles

[@Jessjustleft]

Omg I feel the same way about slap your momma on tofu scramble I've been using it for years ... Anything potato goes well with it too!

[@rhianhy]

Ughhh i need to do breakfast potatoes with it too... i bet its delish.

[@kellygibson3250]

Love ur vids thanx for sharing

[@kristav9283]

Whe you sit and fine dine your dinner while watching my favorite girl😍😍🤗🤗

[@rhianhy]

Bon appetit!

[@Bluejellyjelly]

Love all this❤️

[@ceecee7879]

Looking EXTRA 😍 during such a trashy video!

[@Papergrace]

I’m like you in that I always go through my shampoo 1st. When my shampoo is done? I’ll have approx 1/2 bottle of conditioner still left. And by the way? An ENTIRE dropper of the dropper of the CBD?! 😮 Don’t ya know that’s just the Devil’s Lettuce little brother? 😂 🖤

[@Millie.J]

Happy to see a few high-end products making an appearance!

[@XeniaLys8]

You look like a doll.Adorable

[@stace_d]

I could use some "new feet" in the morning

[@mrs.newton7472]

I love that slap your momma!!
