THE BEST ZERO WASTE BATHROOM SWAPS!!! // Zero Waste Bathroom Essentials // Sustainable Living

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Do you have a favorite zero waste bathroom swap??

[@alisingh2035]

Honestly, I love all the swaps I made!!❤🌎 Its a little hard to pick one. Although if I had to pick one it would be my shampoo and conditioner bars. They last almost a year! I would love to see a zero waste skincare video.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Ali Singh That’s amazing!! It’s always a good sign when it’s tough to choose. They do last a heck of a long time! Which ones have you been using? 😊

[@anhphung8991]

I’d say my Right To Shower body soap! 100% plastic free, sustainable sourcing, and the profit goes to mobile shower units for homeless people!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Anh Phung I haven’t heard of that brand! They sound great! I’ll definitely have to check them out!! 😊

[@hannaa7872]

My favorite zero waste bathroom swaps right now are bamboo toilet paper by no.2 (i should probably try another brand haha) and little seed farm deodorant!

[@MsChocB]

I love that you are still committed to trying and supporting black owned businesses!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Chanae Dickerson Of course!! It’s important! 😊🌏

[@memyselfandi1366]

Never seen someone talk so excited about toilet paper xD thanks for the tips 🙏 I try to cut down plastic this year

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Me, Myself And I Lol! I could talk about it all day! Of course!! That’s great!! 😊🌏

[@anhphung8991]

Yes!! Please do zero waste skincare video 🥺 If possible, can you review low-waste/refillable sunscreens, makeup as well? Thank you so much!! 🥺❤️🥰

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Anh Phung Great!! I’ll put it on my content calendar! I’d love to show some low waste sunscreen and low waste makeup!! I’ve been wanting to do a zero waste makeup review so I’ll have to try out some stuff!! 😊 Thanks so much for watching!!

Tip for the blueland hand soap bottle. If it's sticking and the pump is acting up. This is just natural residue( my opinion) from the use. I was going to ask for a replacement. I found out if you have hot water straight from the faucet does the trick. Pump while holding it in your hands and after a while it starts to move like it's brand new.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Eternal Totem Thanks for the tip! Hopefully that’ll do the trick next time! 😊

[@EternalTotem]

@@StrollingThroughLife no problem. I stayed pumping it for a minute of two after it started feeling like it was working like normal.

[@octopuscat1030]

What I think I am hearing is just get extra clean cult bottles to put blue land products in.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

@@octopuscat1030 I do love Cleancult bottles and their products. I definitely think the Cleancult bottles are great quality so I would recommend that! But, Blueland makes a foaming hand soap and Cleancult doesn’t have a foaming hand soap pump/ bottle.

Last night I was flossing my teeth, and I was wondering if they had zero waste floss. I thought it was impossible to have one, and here you are talking about the floss. I'm glad I came across this channel. Thanks for the video!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Moto Shark Nice! Perfect timing! You should check out the floss! Thanks for watching!!

[@naturollypaper9523]

Thank you for the great video, Kristen! We have new ideas for our New Years Resolutions now. :)

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Naturolly Paper Of course! Thanks for collaborating with me! Yay!! 😊

[@susancassatt1526]

Yes, do more on skin care

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Yay! I actually just uploaded a video today about my nighttime skincare routine! 😊

[@MomijiFAndres]

Hey Kristen great video as always! I will definitely try the TP once the rolls I have get lower supply of them (and it will help if there is another shortage lol). I'm also saving up for the Tush bidet. I just got the HiBar moisturizing set so I'm excited to try it out! I know I said before that I didn't like the Activist skincare but I meant the cleansers and precious oils but I like the serums and will repurchase the calming force serum. I never got the hand soap from blueland but the pump for the sprayer for the multi-surface cleaner broke so for me blueland is a pass other than the dish soap. I can't wait to see the other areas that you have the "best swaps". Love the video as always.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Momiji Andres Thank you! And thanks for always watching and commenting!! 😊 Awesome! I’d love to hear what you think of them! The Tushy bidet is a game changer. Ohhhh I can’t wait to hear what you think of HiBAR! I’m glad the Calming Force serum worked out for you! Yikes. That’s such a bummer. I wish they had better bottles... Thanks so much for the comment!! I can maybe make this into a series! 😊

[@MomijiFAndres]

@@StrollingThroughLife please make it into a series!! I love watching and commenting on your videos

[@octopuscat1030]

Another great baking soda free deodorant is routine, it comes in a glass jar. For people who don't have baking soda sensitivities Native deodorant is available in a cardboard tube.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

I haven’t heard of that one! I’ll have to check it out! I’ve heard great things about Native, but unfortunately I can’t try it because of the baking soda.

[@Magpie.Pixie.]

this was super helpful! Please so a zero waste skin care video!!

[@meganshaffer4660]

I'm having the same issue with 2 of my 3 Blueland soap bottles. Glad to know it isn't just me.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Oh no! That’s such a bummer! It’s so frustrating... I really don’t like their bottles 😬

[@meganshaffer4660]

I did what someone below suggested and flushed the pumps out with hot water. So far, so good, they seem back to normal.

[@NaturallyMermaid]

I can't wait to get a bidet 😅😍

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Naturally Mermaid It’s a game changer!

[@aubra_dash]

I LOVE naturolly!!!! My favorite ever!!! And I totes have a tushy 🙌🙌

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Brazen Wayfinder Yay!! I’m so glad you’re loving it! Ahhh we have the same setup! It’s such a game changer! Thanks for watching!! 😊

[@Trish620]

Sappo hill soap has even less waste. I buy it for my eczema.

[@Nadine-xb4oj]

Hey, just found out your channel, amazing tips, also girl, you probably are a curly girl, if I'm not mistaken you could be a 2b/2c/3a curly girl 😊 so if you need something to tame the frizz (which i think it's just curls pattern potential) i highly recommend flaxseed gel, my favourite zw haircare product. You can make it yourself 🤗

[@Blood0range]

Naturolly is THE best. thanks for introducing me to them. i just ordered the new monthly refill service 🥳 Edit: i would love a skin care video 😍

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Blood0range Yay!! I’m so glad you’re liking their TP! Awesome!! I’ll definitely make one!

[@vanessaenriquezkrone3692]

Hey Kristen, I love your videos!!! You did such an extensive review on toilet paper and it helped me choose my next swap. Have you done any reviews on bamboo paper towels that are reusable then biodegradable?

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Hey! Thanks so much!! I’m so glad those videos helped!! I haven’t unfortunately.

[@randomcath]

Super helpful video, I didn't know that a fully plant based toothbrush existed! Unfortunately they don't ship to Europe but I'm going to be on the lookout if they ever do :)

[@StrollingThroughLife]

I’m glad this was helpful!! Darn! I hope they do soon. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@tatianafosho]

Any suggestions for people that want to make the switch to zero-waste but don't know what to do with the products they have now?

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Hey! Yes! The most sustainable thing you can do is use up the products you already have! When I first started my zero waste/ sustainable journey, I was so excited and wanted to buy everything (lol even though I couldn’t afford everything at once). But I used up all of my old products first! That’s the best thing you can do. When you slowly starting getting to the end of your products, you can look into more sustainable options if they’re accessible for ya! 😊 Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@sferris33]

Bamboo toilet paper sounds good, but won't trees grow back too just like bamboo?

[@kimramirez1047]

Of course! But Bamboos grow a lot faster than trees do

[@Midnight_cat128]

Is there a reason why for Blueland you couldn’t just use a bottle you already have and buy the refill tablets? Does it not work as well?

[@meggo_eggo]

i originally tried to use a bottle i already had, and for some reason it did not work. it didnt foam up and sud, maybe the bottle itself didnt work well with foaming soap, but i ended up just purchasing bluelands bottle

[@saranapua7]

Hello earth friend!:) have you tried Earthling Co.? It completely transformed my hair, and every time I recommend it to someone (even someone who is highly skeptical), they end up falling in love and never turning back. Their body soap bars are amazing too! All of the bars don’t leave a residue at all, and you don’t have to switch shampoo or conditioner because there’s no build up!:) it works amazing on straight and curly hair - my mom has super super curly hair, and she loves it!
