[@meghanhughes]

I love my menstrual cup, I have gotten reusable pads as well but I feel they are too thick and make my lady bits sweat 😆 Wanted to try the tooth paste bites but they are expensive

[@hannah_bandana]

"you know I love hay and corn" lmao...I totally guessed you were gonna talk about Gardyn when you mentioned working on this video on twitch! :)

im so happy to hear that!

[@bethkeenan7263]

Yesss that's amazing!

[@abbs3179]

Love the sustainable swaps! I do think it’s interesting that we consider things zero waste when there’s no waste coming into our home but interesting to think of the life cycle of the dissolvable products being made and if that involves plastic, but I guess there’s never a perfect plastic free product!

I just use water to wash my hair now.. madness I know but it’s CHANGED my life and my hair is so healthy

[@meghanhughes]

awesome! finley does that too!

[@althealaprey3499]

how did you get to that point?

[@MoominAlanna]

@@althealaprey3499 I was using a cheap shampoo and conditioner that gave me dandruff so I just stopped using it and turns out my hair liked it! I tried a shampoo bar for a week but hated it! So I’m now a year with just water to wash my hair 😅

[@ch76504]

@@MoominAlanna does it get the oiliness and grease out? And how often do you wash it?

[@MoominAlanna]

@@ch76504 worst thing I could tell you - I don’t have greasy hair 😂 I’ve got Curley hair so I think the oils absorb but I’ve heard that if you persevere through the minging stage it fixes itself. My hair took to it right away so I’ve never had to think of other things, I did start by spraying aloe Vera juice into my hair just because I had it but I don’t know if that did anything! I get my hair wet “to wash” 2/3 times a week and I’ve been doing it for a year now! I hope you try it and love it but remember everyone’s hair is different so some people can’t back looking like stig of the dump before 😂

[@JennaPerrodou]

Hey Meg! Have you seen Seaspiriacy on Netflix? There's some new stuff in there and the movie made me think of you. Maybe you're more up to date on all things sustainable than I am, but it's worth watching if you haven't. 💕

[@meghanhughes]

i need to watch!

I love your energy!

[@MsAlaskanGirl907]

Yes on the bamboo toothbrush! I go to a holistic dentist practice in my hometown and I recently asked my hygienist if there was any evidence that bamboo or non-plastic toothbrushes are harmful for oral health, and she said no! And I must say, before I used a bamboo toothbrush and was going to a holistic dentist I was coming in with at least 3 cavities a year. What a win-win!

[@meghanhughes]

that’s awesome to hear!

[@laney5000]

I can not WAIT to watch this!!! Always looking for more sustainable recommendations 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@SarahStuido]

Okay I have a question - I love that all of these products come in compostable paper and packaging... so do you actually put them in your compost? Do they actually break down? I’d be so interested to see a video on it! Thank you so so much for this content! Love you gurllll 🥰💜

[@meghanhughes]

this is something i definitely need to document!

So I started watching you this vlogmas and it's still throws me not seeing you everyday lolll

[@meghanhughes]

hahahahha i feel that

[@kat_trabue]

I'm just waiting for bite to hopefully come out with Xylitol free options as we have dogs so we don't allow Xylitol in our house (I've seen what it does to a dog, not worth the risk I would drop one and my dog would end up dead). I have found xylitol free toothpaste tabs but not a brand I like and I hear great things about the texture of bite.

[@justinomar9210]

Did you have to learn before using a machine like this what is the difficulty level would you recommend this to an average outdoor gardener

[@anamarijabogataj2529]

Was waiting for the upload! Miss ma'am ur glowin!!

[@marycaunce7697]

Do you have sensitive teeth? Mine are super sensitive and I want to switch to zero waste toothpaste. I currently use sensitive toothpaste so I have a feeling none of the zero waste options will hold up for me. The only one I’ve tried is one from lush and it wasn’t great for the sensitivity so I’d love suggestions if you or anyone else here has them!

[@abbs3179]

I have sensitive teeth and use a bentonite clay one from Amazon and it’s been fine for me!

[@olivepaul4798]

I've never ever been this early to one of your videos I feel special

Have you found a good swap for laundry? I tried making some and it never quite did the job.

[@meghanhughes]

yesssss! jonesy is iconic & i've heard good things about parade's quality but idk much about their sustainability

[@jillstrickland7227]

ugh i tried Bite tablets and wanted to like them so bad but i felt like they weren't cleaning my teeth well enough :/ maybe thats just because the intense minty clean feeling from generic toothpaste is like a placebo effect?? someone give me the truth

[@grena37]

I tried making my own veggie broth with veggie scraps and it turned out to be bitter and gross lol I like better than bouillon though 🤙🏽

[@meghanhughes]

in my experience, u still need to season it! i normally add in a dash of liquid smoke, salt, pepper, & sometimes a tablespoon of miso!

[@grena37]

Thanks Mami ! I'll definitely try it next time!! 🤓🗒️✍️

I am still searching for a sustainable deodorant that doesn't absolutely wreck my armpits. My sister swears by Native, but it gave me a rash 😫

[@thefashionista31]

try the sensitive skin version. the regular one gave me a rash as well.

[@serenahasworth6802]

They have package-free options and come in a glass jar that is great to reuse!

[@wench8291]

I’ve had similar problems with a few natural deodorants & I’m pretty sure it’s the baking soda. I switched to Ethique’s deodorant which is ph balanced and uses arrowroot as the main odor absorbing ingredient. Game changer. Only meh part is that it’s completely package free (no paperboard push up style container like native) so you have to hold it while applying to your pits. I heard they may be changing the packaging to be a little more user friendly (while remaining eco-friendly) though. If your still on the hunt maybe give them a shot.

[@itiskelpy]

It’s the baking soda !! It does that to me too. I use Schmidt’s baking soda free deodorant and it’s never given me a rash.

Was totally with you until you started talking about “sustainable dairy”. Ain’t no such thing sister. dairy requires way more resources than a plant milk alternative.
