FOR THE ONE WITH THE ELABORATE BEAUTY ROUTINE
EcoTools Blending sponges - 9,23€
If I'm being completely honest I'd recommend any EcoTools products. They are really focused on the environment and so far everything I've tried has been fantastic. Their blending sponges are an excellent alternative to the traditional BeautyBlender that is far more expensive, and deliver the same quality. This is a holiday set on sale on their website (Although I got mine at my local Boots store!) and I just though the packaging was so cute! Plus you get 2 sponges, Yay!
FOR THE ONE THAT LIKES TO STAY HOME WRAPPED IN BLANKETS
I've seen loads of candle holders in this style going around and always think to myself "Ahh that looks nice! I'll get one next time". What finally did it for me with this Ikea model is that it doesn't feel as flimsy as all the others! Also, even though I love being by the fireplace or having a few candles going, I'm a bit afraid of fire and I love that this one has a glass tube going around the actual tealight. Lighting candles always make spending time at home so much cosier, no matter what you're doing!
FOR THE ONE BECOMING A CRAZY PLANT LADY
This tin mug from M&S is just so adorable. I spotted it in one of their displays as a way to hold small gardening tools, but I think I'm going to use it as a normal tea mug. Ever since I've moved into an appartment where I have the room to keep plants, I've been enjoying the company of my green friends.
FOR THE ONE WHO CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT A BATHTUB
I always preferred showering with one of these pouf things (I'm still not sure what they are actually called...). They create a thick lather when wet and gently exfoliate the body at the same time. 2 in 1! When I decided to cut down on my plastic consumption I started looking into replacement options for these (more on that to come!). However I was also delighted to find this Ecotools pouf where the netting is 100% made of recycled plastic! Yay Eco Tools!
FOR THE ONE WHO JUST CAN'T WITH WINTER
Burt's Bees Cuticle Cream - 4,42€
I discovered this item only a week ago but I have to say I am completely lovestruck! The skin around my nails is usually in a pretty bad shape as I have a tendency to fidget and pick at it when I get nervous. When the winter comes, all hell breaks loose! This cream/balm is absolutely perfect. It's not too oily or greasy, and is super convenient to carry around in the little tin. After one week of daily use, I can very clearly see a difference. My skin and cuticles are looking good and hydrated, and feel great too. Plus bonus points for eco-friendly packaging!
FOR THE ONE WHO LIKES TO KEEP THINGS GEEKY
I'm a part of so many fandoms, and even if I don't look like it, I like to keep things pretty Geeky in my everyday life. That being said, I like to keep things subtle, like a nice little geeky wink in my day to day occupations. One thing I think everybody loves is a good mug. Be it for coffee, tea or hot chocolate. There are so many options of cool mugs to suit all tastes at very reasonable prices. This is my own Star Wars mug that I keep with me in work and use to see who else is a Star Wars lover among my colleagues!
FOR THE ONE WHO TAKES SELF CARE SUNDAY TO ANOTHER LEVEL
As I've mentioned on here before, I have very dry skin. My legs in particular get really bad if I don't follow a strict exfoliating regimen. My mom introduced me to exfoliating mitts recently and I have to say I'm converted! I use mine right after showering to get rid of all dead skin and leave my skin silky soft (albeit a bit red). I find the texture perfect and more efficient than the synthetic gloves you can find everywhere. The one I have was a gift from my mom, but I'm linking a natural one from Boots. They are very easy to find anywhere really.
FOR THE ONE SEEKING FLAWLESS CLAWS
Essie Treat Love Color - 7,80€
I just HAD to include this Essie varnish in my list. It's definitely one of my MVPs of the year. My nails break and double all the time and so even if I'm not a nail biter, I've never been one with great nail looks. This is a nail strengthener that also leave the tiniest specks of pink on the nails. I promise it's not bright pink! This got my nails through 4 days of being in and out of the water and putting on and taking off my wetsuit multiple times a day when I did my PADI. I've been using it for a bit over a month now and I have to say my nails feel strong and have never looked better.
FOR THE ONE YOU'LL FIND SIPPING COCKTAILS AT THE BAR
THIS IS ADORABLE. As we're getting more and more into winter, lip balm is becoming an everyday necessity. M&S came out with a line of cocktail-inspired lip balms and I am so here for it. They are cute, fun and all their ingredients are ocean-friendly. Plus they come in metal packaging! I find these are a great way to add some spice to your day while keeping your lips ready for your next night out!
FOR THE ONE WHO'S A SKINCARE JUNKIE
YESto is probably the most colourful natural skincare brand ever. I've liked all the products I've tried from them and I'm even happier since the company is eco-friendly. So why not treat the skin junkie in your life to a nice sheet mask from a brand that's still a mystery to most people. Their products are very affordable and all made form natural ingredients, so there's no reason to resist!
FOR THE ONE THAT'S ALWAYS ON THE MOVE
I've been meaning to try one of these for so long, except I prefer to use an electric toothbrush on a everyday basis. It finally hit me that a bamboo toothbrush is perfect to bring along when traveling! They're solid, biodegradable, and much much better for the earth than the regular plastic toothbrushes. So why not let someone else discover the wonders of this biodegradable type of dental care?
FOR THE ONE WHO CAN'T WAIT TO TAKE THEIR MAKEUP OFF
This is something I'd been looking into for a long time actually! Anyone who wears makeup regularly probably goes through LOADS of cotton rounds everyday. These re-usable ones are made of super soft organic cotton. I've been trying them this week and I never expected them to be so soft! They took my makeup off super easily, felt really comfortable and when I'm done with one, I can just toss it in the washing machine. Easy peasy & Eco-friendly!
