Thanks for watching! 😊

This video is about zero waste swaps I've changed my mind about. I was wrong about some zero waste swaps and my opinion has changed. There are a lot of sustainable swaps out there. Once I started trying more out, some products were just better than others. Also, there are products I used a lot pre-pandemic and no I don't use these eco swaps at all. Some of these might be the worst zero waste swaps. There are so many eco-friendly swaps I try to review on my channel. But I can't get to all of these low waste swaps. Are there zero waste swaps I regret buying? Maybe a few. Are any of these the best eco-friendly products I changed my mind about. Are these the worst zero waste swaps? Are these zero waste swaps I loved and now hate? You'll find out if any of these are the best zero waste swaps or the worst sustainable swaps.
》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》
On my channel, Strolling Through Life, I talk about eco-conscious living.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Have you changed your mind about any sustainable swaps??

[@rebeccazimmer8005]

Beeswax wraps, bar conditioner, bamboo cutlery, are some of the things I used for a while that don’t work for me!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

@@rebeccazimmer8005 Thanks for sharing!! That’s a bummer they didn’t work out!

[@madiDASHieShy]

I tried a natural aluminum free deodorant and while I loved it, I hated that it wasn't anti-perspirant. I live in an area that is 90°+ most of the year so everyone here sweats A LOT. I switched back to my old deodorant last summer and haven't used my natural one since

[@amberkhan5782]

for me, shampoo bars :( I know there's a lot of choices out there, I just can't get on with them for my hair unfortunately

[@jasminarad7664]

Beeswax wraps and also shampoo bars sadly :(

[@cassandrapope3495]

I love that you embrace the gray areas of not one thing works for everyone, but that doesn't make it bad... or good for that matter!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Thank you!! Yes! We all have different opinions of things. It’s all about embracing the gray areas!

[@deannawood8077]

I regret buying the Blueland dishwasher tablets. They don't really get my dishes clean, especially my tea mugs, even if I use 2 tablets. I *deeply* regret buying so many of them, too! I've also bought so many shampoo bars hoping they'll be good for my oily hair and dandruff. Why can't head & shoulders make a shampoo bar?

[@SakakiHiroshi]

Don't know it if might help you or not, but I bought their dishwasher tablets as well and eventually found out that if I make sure to run hot water from the tap before I start the washing cycle the tablet does a really good job, but does mediocre when the dishwasher is just started as is.

[@hollygoode4333]

the ethique Healy kealy shampoo bar works wonders for my dandruff.

[@poopyrose8180]

If you shave, you can use your extra shampoo bars as shaving creams

[@lindsaymuller1819]

Hi bar started making a dandruff shampoo made with salicylic acid, the same stuff in head and shoulders. I find hi bar to be really good even in hard water. Far out competes others. Their conditioner is also wonderful

[@lostmothii]

I love hearing opinions about things people have been using for a long while, definitely valuable info ♥️

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Yay! So glad you liked this! 😊

[@findingagain]

I definitely change my mind about dish brushes too, but I've given up on dish brushes entirely. Whether it was plastic or wood, so many people do the dishes differently in my house they always ended up molding at some point. 😅 Not fantastic!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Right? They always get worn out no matter what you use. It’s hard to keep something like that for a while!

[@salmiakki7652]

I really like them, when I get a new brush I coat the handle in linseed oil which seems to keep the mold off

[@tatysapp]

I love this, partly the reason I want to film a "rating EVERYTHING sustainable I own" series of videos. Cause not everything we buy that's eco friendly is actually sustainable for our personal lifestyles. I use a loofah to wash my dishes, and when it get's old I sanitize it in hot water laundry load and use it for cleaning until I'm ready to compost.

[@tatysapp]

also Izzy refillable mascara is one you should try!! It's in aluminum packaging and is a subscription, when you receive your next bottle you mail back the old one to be cleaned and refilled.

[@tatysapp]

Okay I'm obviously commenting while I'm watching your video, lol!! I'd love to hear your thoughts on Parade underwear brand. I've really been on a "use that you have" mindset lately, and when I run out of something I make note of what my mind initially wants to buy as a replacement (ie: laundry pods vs powder or liquid, liquid conditioner vs bar, toothpaste vs tablets, body butter vs lotion bars, etc) so I can make a more mindful sustainable purchase instead of trying the next new "eco friendly" thing just because.

[@cassandrapope3495]

I have a reusable cutlery set in my backpack (purse) and I use it more often than I thought I would (and I don't travel much). It's nice to take to work with me and I don't have to worry if I brought silverware or have to use the plastic ones at work. I use it when I go through a drive thru and I let them know I don't need plastic spoons/forks. It's also nice if you get a to-go dessert or something and are too impatient to wait until you get home and want to eat it in the car! haha! I also use my reusable straw at least multiple times a week, but I love straws so that works for me and is definitely not wasted!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

That’s amazing!! So glad you’re getting so much use out of your cutlery set! They’re so handy to have on the go! And yay, straws! Glad you’re getting use of those, too! Swaps like those are just so dependent on each person’s lifestyle! Glad they’re the perfect fit for ya!! 😊

[@grandpaczki979]

With you regarding the bamboo toothbrush. My electric one is needed to get the job done. I've seen a new electric, external bamboo toothbrush. But then you have to think, I already have this and bought the attachments... and I am sure it's spendy. All my old bamboo brushes are now house cleaning, crevice devices.

[@LunaNatz]

The same thing happened with me, my partner has been using my bamboo toothbrushes that weren't used when cleaning the instead of his computer

[@StrollingThroughLife]

I definitely use my old bamboo toothbrushes for cleaning the house! I’ve heard the electric bamboo toothbrushes is actually just plastic on the bottom with a sticker… but I don’t have it, so I can’t confirm haha. The best option is to use what you already have! 😊

[@shaunaburton7136]

I think this is great! About a decade ago I tried A shampoo bar and it was awful! Now there's lots of improvement in shampoo bars. This industry needs improvement in a lot of ways. Consumer feedback is important.

[@heywhitneyragan]

Ok, hear me out because I had the same issue with Girlfriend Collective. I went all in and bought a bunch of their leggings and bras and then my body changed a bit and I suddenly HATED them. I also have sensory issues with clothing so that could be part of it as well. But I decided to try their scoop unitard and have never been happier. It's basically leggings and a bra all in one and (most importantly) everything stays in place! No more leggings rolling down or bras moving around during the workout. I have since bought several of them and I'm so pleased!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Ohhhhh interesting! I’ve actually heard good things about the unitard! (And if I’m uncomfortable with wearing just that, I could always throw a tshirt over it haha). I’ll definitely have to think about that! Thanks for telling me because I wouldn’t have given the unitard the time of day haha! Definitely good to know! 😊👍

[@heywhitneyragan]

@@StrollingThroughLife Yes! That's exactly what I do. If I'm just working out at home, I wear it solo but when I walk my dog, I generally throw a shirt over it and it just looks like regular leggings. For sizing, I am larger on the top half than bottom and I bought the unitard to match my GFC bra size instead of leggings size. Hope it helps if you decide to give it a go!

[@rosemaryfox9212]

One thing I've learned using the Besame Mascara cake is that you can get a lot more product per swipe depending on tools and water amount. It still takes more patience and time, but if you use a little more water and let it sit for a while (I try to add it at the beginning of my makeup routine since mascara is one of the last things I do), it'll soak in more and goop up a bit, so it's thicker. I also use an old mascara tube brush, which is so much easier to work with than the one they give you. If you do try it, give yourself a fair amount of time to play with techniques

[@zocansew]

It took me a while to learn but oml I love it.

[@Fawndolyn]

Beeswax cloth wraps. I thought they were brilliant at first, but I just can't get them to comply with me. They can crack, crumble, and wear out fast, they're annoying to clean, and they are still too porous to really save any freshness in the food it wraps. Silicone bags work fine for a lot of things, but those are MORE obnoxious to clean (but great for people with the patience to wash, or those with a dishwasher, maybe?). I switched to glass containers with click-lock lids (those other pyrex lids crack so fast) and I love 'em.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

I still haven't tried beeswax wraps! I've heard so many people say that they don't like them haha. Yeah, my dishwasher is a lifesaver for my silicone bags. Haha I would not have the patience to hand wash them every time! I LOVE glass containers with click-lock lids. So glad they work so well for you! Thanks for watching!! 😊

[@schauschau2552]

the besame mascara tin, i can give a tip of adding a tiny bit of vaseline jelly and using a mascara wand from a loved, old mascara tube! still less convenient if i'm honest, but i like to treat my make up the same as my paints, mixing everything on a palette and applying it slowly................ buuuut sometimes i wake up like 30 minutes before i need to be out the door so regular mascara it is lol!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing! Haha yeah when you're in a rush, a regular tube of mascara does the trick! Thanks for watching 😊

[@stephaniestrow2917]

I recently purchased Plus Ultra brush heads for my Sonicare. They’re made out of cornstarch and work great.

[@raven_siren]

For your dish brush, have you tried Squishful yet? I had a feeling that all the "zero-waste dish brushes" would rust with that metal bit, and Squishful is only brand I've found that's 100% compostable rather than having that metal bit. It's totally bamboo and the wooden head screws on to the wooden handle. Been using it for a year and absolutely love it.

[@Huggible11]

I love your honesty. There's no problem people changing their mind if they don't like something. I like the authenticity of this video. I would love a video, like your overall toilet paper review, comparing sustainable laundry detergent brands. Which sustainable one do you think does the better job vs. the pods you mentioned in this video?

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Thanks so much! Totally. It’s a-okay to change your mind. And thanks, that means a lot. I try to keep it as real as possible haha. Ohhhhh yes! That has been on my list of videos to make. I still have a few more on my list to try out before a big comparison video like that. But I will definitely make it at some point!! 😊 Thanks for the suggestion!

[@tanyabyron3593]

I’ve pretty much stuck with everything but I’ve hit a wall, I might try a leaf razor as I’ve not been courageous enough to try that swap. I love Swedish dish towels and I did just buy a rechargeable lighter. I also want to get rechargeable batteries for my fairy lights. Love your videos ❤

[@StrollingThroughLife]

It's all about doing what you can! Sounds like you've got some pretty good options! :) Thanks so much for watching!

[@Kallyke23]

That's why I didn't get the wooden dish brush. I got the handle That's stainless steel with a silicone cover and I can use the same detachable heads 🙂

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Oh that's so smart! Glad you found a great alternative!! 😊

[@NaturallyMermaid]

Same with the electric toothbrushes and laundry pods.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Yessss! Glad we’re on the same page!

[@texasgoddess323]

I actually use my glass straws. I’m not a purist on anything. Just do what you can!🥰

[@StrollingThroughLife]

That's great!! Yes, love that mentality!

[@lindsaymuller1819]

Izzy cosmetics uses steel mascara tubes that you send back in a reusable mailer and they sterilize the tube and refill it!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Amazing! I've a few people recommend it! I definitely want to give it a try! Thanks for the recommendation!! 😊

[@carolinehaavaag-jrgensen1423]

Hei Kristin! Thank you for another great video ❤️.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Hello! Thanks so much! And thank YOU for watching!! 😊

[@anniereuter6366]

why are dishcloths so expensive in the US? I can get a pack of five for 15SEK (less than 2USD) at any grocery store in sweden. I brought so many of them back in my luggage when I went home for the holidays, no way am i paying 8USD for one cloth!!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Dang! That's awesome they're so cheap there!

[@tiredapplestar]

Great video! I agree with you on many if these, especially the mascara. I do still use the Besame mascara as an eyeliner, or when I run out of the mascara I normally use. Most of the swaps I stopped using were of the homemade variety (lotions, deodorants, etc…). I also had trouble when it comes to zero waste shampoo, but I did realize I could wash my hair with dove bar soap. It’s my go to soap for sensitive skin, and it leaves my hair and scalp very happy too!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Thank you!! So glad you agree! The mascara cake is a great option for eyeliner! Zero waste shampoo can so tough! Ohhhhhh I hadn’t heard of people using Dove for their hair! That’s awesome that it works for you!! Please it’s way cheaper than most shampoo bars out there haha! 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@erinturocy9074]

Lush Mascara is great because you can take the tube back as part of their black pot return program and the Lush Lashes formula is awesome for length and volume.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

That's great that they have a take-back program for it!! 😊

[@masakimoayra00]

I tried swedish dish cloths and I'm sad to say I really dislike them. I think it's a mixture of texture and performance, but I'm much happier with my dirty rags for really dirty stuff and my normal dish cloths for everything else

[@malkahmollie]

I just opened my leaf shave today and I absolutely love it!!!!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Yay!! I'm so happy to hear that! 😊

[@ruzies]

hi kristen!! new-ish subscriber and i've been really enjoying your videos!! 😊 they've been really helpful as someone who is a beginner to living sustainably. i was really excited to try the blueland laundry tablets but after buying and trying them, i realized they take way too long to dissolve if you use them as instructed. i'll have to pre-dissolve them in water and THEN add them to my laundry-- not the end of the world but more inconvenient than i expected when i already hate doing laundry lol. after i go through all the tablets, i'm gonna try out kind laundry!

[@makaylapitts3461]

This is very useful… especially the part about lifestyle… I’ve used my sonicare for at least 7 years and like you had no idea about bamboo heads. Not a fan of safety razors for our family and didn’t like the dish brush… saw the one at target and will be trying it out based on your review! Another great educational video…

[@Rachel-su5rr]

Thank you for sharing...I wish there were more videos like this..

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Thank YOU for watching! I'm so glad you liked it! 😊

[@sillykitten202]

Same with girlfriend collective! I can deal with the leggings but their sweatpants and sweatshirts fit me so weird I won't buy clothes from them anymore

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Dang! That's a bummer they fit weird! I hope we can find some other brands with the same mission!!

[@insidiouschaos812]

i dont do "zero waste" but i do try to severely limit my single use plastic purchases - i don't really get the whole laundry/tide pod thing in the first place, i dont have a washing machine or anything, so i just use liquid detergent bc the bigger the package, the less plastic used overall. plus, i have noticed that a lot of "eco friendly" soaps etc use essential oils and those are really resource-heavy for what you get, and they arent gentle on the skin, and i need gentle soaps etc., so i just stick with bar soap and large bottles of laundry soap my favorite low-waste swap though has been felted wool dryer balls. the brand i have is friendsheep, they are fair trade wool made by nepalese women supporting their families, and you dont have to buy dryer sheets which can leave stains on your clothing. Also! they absorb water and lower the drying time on your clothes, so they save on electricity! also, heres a secret companies dont want you to know: you dont actually need fabric softener. the big name brands are all petroleum based, so on your polyester clothing it will seal in all of your sweat etc, and it also created a film on the outside of your washer drum which is what causes your washer to smell.

[@morgan0598]

They make all wooden and walnut hand dish brush things and they work just like the full circle. That's what I use now since I agree with you I like these more.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Yes! I love that there are plastic-free dish brush options!

[@flanya88]

I have the same issues with Girlfriend collective's sports bras. I don't consider myself big chested, but I don't like the way they fit. I've been hesitant to try their other products due to this. I also agree with you on the laundry pods! I wanted to like dropps so badly since several youtubers talk about them, but I've since found Kind laundry sheets, and they seem to just work better for me. I liked the idea for this video. Thanks for being honest with us

[@beverlymaureen]

I use quip electric toothbrush. Less plastic

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Awesome! Glad you found an option that works well for you!! 😊

[@zocansew]

anything besame cosmetics is just

[@StrollingThroughLife]

So glad you're liking Besame! Their packaging is so cute!

[@jadesavedbygrace2325]

I changed my mind about reusable pads they just didn't work for my active life style now I am trying period panties however I haven't found one yet that can handle a extra heavy flow. And period cups don't ever fit not even the smallest one. Any suggestions??

[@Alicia-we7tb]

I am the same way with my electric toothbrush! I love it and will use it until it breaks! I also got sucked into the reusable straw trend (lol) - I don’t use them often at all bc I’m not a straw person, but they are handy sometimes. My biggest surprise is the Peach refillable deodorant. I thought I would hate it and it wouldn’t work, but it’s amazing. I am pro-aluminum deodorant, but the Peach one works just as well as conventional deodorants! 🤯

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Right?! Electric toothbrushes just work so well. We all got sucked into the straw trend haha. 🙃 Ohhhhh I haven't tried that deodorant! That's so great to hear! I'll definitely have to check it out! 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@Kiwi-dl3sr]

I LOVE this!!!❤️❤️

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Yayyyy! I’m so glad! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@iamragdollsally]

Yessss FULL CIRCLE

[@SwayTree]

I really enjoy soap nuts a for doing my laundry. It's great for everyday cloaths that don't have any major stains that need to be refreshed. If I have something more stubborn I use powder detergent zthat you can easily buy in a cardboard box. But I found out I hate the reusable cotton pads. I hate washing them, drying them etc. Although I love micellar water to remove my makeup I switched to oil cleansers and tonners I can use with my hands. It's less mess. And I completely agree that no one needs straws in their life. I have mine because sometimes we make cocktail party with my friends and it pets us feel fancy :D

[@torimarie1458]

I felt the same exact way about Girlfriend Collective! I wanted so badly to love their sports bras. They just do not fit me well.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Right?! Through these comments I'm realizing there are a lot of us with the same experience! It's such a bummer because I love the company overall!

[@melissam4954]

I'm curious to see how the toothbrush heads work for you! I never jumped on the bamboo toothbrush train because I already had an electric toothbrush that I didn't want to throw away while it still worked. One thing I changed my mind on is wool dryer balls. They didn't seem to reduce static or the time it takes my clothes to dry. My cats also like to steal them while I'm folding laundry and play with them, so it ends up being one more thing I have to wash before I can put them back in the dryer. 😆

[@meganhammond1326]

My dove deodorant broke within two uses. I just stuck with native in their cardboard packaging - also at target

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Dang! That's such a bummer it broke off! I wish they had designed it better... I'm glad Native works well for you! Thanks for watching!! 😊

[@iamragdollsally]

I can't find the effing refills for the Dove. Aluminum free absolutely doesn't work for me.

[@GreenEyedGal95]

I tried the Dropps laundry pods and really just didn't like them. I didn't feel like they got my laundry clean, especially big loads, BUT I do love their oxy pods! I've since switched Cleancult's laundry detergent and I really love it. Maybe it was a mental thing, but even though I use less of Cleancult's liquid detergent than I used to use of other brands, my clothes still feels/looks/smells clean and I really do love it.

[@kayleejenkins187]

Same for me!

[@Sasha-en1xv]

I’ve been using dropps laundry pods and I’m not 100% sold on them anymore (I just feel like my clothes never get completely clean!). Curious what your go-to is for laundry that make your clothes smell super fresh?

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Totally feel ya on that! I've been loving Kind Laundry and Cleancult laundry detergent (I have video reviews on both). I still have some detergents I want to try. But out of the detergents I've tried, those are my favorite! 😊

[@esther.sandoval]

I know tide isn't eco friendly but the pods work really well with cold water which is best in saving electricity. As the energy needed to heat the water is what makes up most of the electricity use in washing

[@pineapple365]

Have you tried the Izzy mascara?

[@StrollingThroughLife]

I haven't! I've heard good things! Do you use it?

[@pineapple365]

@@StrollingThroughLife no, but when I’m done with my old mascara I will purchase it.

[@kimberlygonzalez3384]

I'm not gonna lie, I prefer the laundry detergent sheets over pods. I used drops because I love the variety of scents but the fabric softener pods didn't dissolve well and there would be white stains on my black clothes. I'm using kind laundry sheets now and my favorite fabric softener suavitel but idk it's hard for me to switch to zero waste fabric softeners because I love the smell of my clothes when they dry.

[@Lizzchelle]

What leggings do you typically buy/wear now? I’m a curvy girl on the bottom too and find it so hard to find good leggings, especially when buying online only and not being able to try on first.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

I buy them on Poshmark (usually from Lululemon). I try to find a like-new pair so they last longer. They have always fit me well. 😊 I'm still on the hunt for a good sustainable brand to check out. If I ever find a good sustainable brand that fits well, I'll definitely make a video about it! 😊

[@Laura-io3xm]

With electric toothbrush heads I some can be recycled via teracycle

[@StrollingThroughLife]

That's good to know! Thanks for sharing that! 😊

[@hayankitty6134]

You should try wild deodorant !!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

I've heard good things about it! It's definitely on my list! Do you use it??

[@eleni33koro88]

If someone even just use that permanent straw once, it's a straw that can't be eaten by an animal, or have it get stuck in its nose.

[@JaneDoe-tm2ex]

I didn’t like the smell of the banana Hey Humans deodorant I got at first but now I love it!! And it works SO well, as well as regular deodorant and my other favorite natural deodorant powerhouse the Lush Teo bar!! But at a much cheaper price

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Yay! That's so great to hear! The Teo bar is such a throwback for me! I worked at Lush years ago and used it then haha. So glad Hey Humans is working well for you, too!! 😊

[@lowfatdarkchocolate]

kinda confused here! saying you changed your mind about something kind of implies that it didn’t work for you/that it’s not a good fit for your chosen lifestyle; but if the only thing that changed is the pandemic, and you would be traveling otherwise and therefore using it… is that really changing your mind about it? the pandemic was out of everyone’s control so i interpreted this as: you don’t plan to travel much anymore even if the pandemic didn’t restrict you, and therefore the reusable cutlery and the travel tushy don’t serve you; did i interpret that correctly? i was just kind of waiting to hear what part of these things clashed with your actual lifestyle but it sounds like they don’t (beyond the restrictions of a pandemic, i mean)

[@lynnmcneil8116]

Girlfriend Collective is barely size-inclusive if you look at their size chart. Sure the X numbers go up really high, but the actual sizes of their clothing aren't that inclusive. Depends on your definition of size-inclusive!

[@pattycarljackson]

The dove refillable deodorant is just total greenwashing at its finest.
