How to Be More Environmentally-Friendly in the Bathroom

September 18, 2019

Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

Whether you want to be more environmentally-friendly in the bathroom, you want great items for travel, or you just want fantastic products, these are my top personal favs that have gained a permanent place in my bathroom! I am by no means zero waste, and I still have lots to learn, but I feel good about the little steps I’ve taken to make a difference where I can.

Face Halo & Reusable Cotton Pads – Oh my, do I love my Face Halo! I don’t know why it took me so long to get into it. You simply add water, and it removes all of your makeup…no need for eye makeup remover and cotton pads…you’re going to save yourself money and save on waste! After taking off my makeup, I still like to use a cleanser, which I then wash off with a face cloth. Then if I want to add toner, I use a reusable cotton pad – any brand will do – I ordered “reusable cotton pads” from Amazon.

Bamboo Toothbrush – If you’re an electric toothbrush user, this isn’t going to work for you, and having bamboo in your mouth definitely has a unique taste to it…it takes a little getting used to. But, I’ve started using The Humble Co. Bamboo Toothbrush as my travel toothbrush, and who knows, maybe I’ll up the usage at some point and make it a staple in my bathroom. Baby steps…


Unwrapped Shampoo & Conditioner – I was skeptical, but my hair is so darn soft from using Unwrapped Life. It comes in so many different scents and styles, and yet has absolutely no bottles to recycle or toss in the garbage. It is waste-free, and I sure love that about it. I would recommend investing in the tins they have for travel, because I also use those to store the bars in the shower. Just like bar soap, if the bars get extra wet, then you’ll waste some of the shampoo and conditioner (and you want every single use out of those bad boys). The shampoo, I simply put in my hands like a soap bar, and it foams up so much, that I can use that foam for my hair. The conditioner is a little trickier – I usually run the actual bar through my wet hair a few times to get the amount I need.

Natural Cleaning Products – This may or may not save the planet on packaging, but it will on toxins, and that’s a good thing, for you and the world! I used to use Melaleuca, which you need a monthly subscription for, so if that’s not for you, take a look at other natural cleaning products that you would want to use…on your tile, and on your counters…the counters that you leave your toothbrush on, and your soap, and all those other important products that are going on your skin and into your body!! I also love using Force of Nature, which is perfection – the equivalent of bleach, but with only water, salt, and vinegar, and yet it works like magic on everything from stainless steel to flooring!! [Afterword: I also recently started using Branch Basics].

Hope these make your night time wash-up routine just a little bit sweeter!!

3 Parenting Ways I’m Keeping Around Post-Pandemi 3 Parenting Ways I’m Keeping Around Post-Pandemic:

1. Protecting my postpartum space. [Have you heard of the “lying-in” period? Yup...I’ll be purposely quarantining with future babies. If you want to bring us food...”Thank you so, so much! You can leave it at the door, and we will see you in two weeks.🤍”]

2. Going more intimate on holidays and with celebrations. [Y’all know I love to throw a party, but having more intimidate holidays and birthdays has actually been really nice. Feel free to call me out when I can actually throw a party again though, and I invite all of Calgary...]

3. Welcoming my kid(s) into my work space. [This has been something that has made me so happy, been really beneficial for little C to be a part of, and has allowed me to “skip” my maternity leave.]

I know people have been missing their parenting village, but have you found any parenting wins from this wild experience?
“The secret to unlocking the ancient patterns in “The secret to unlocking the ancient patterns in human growth lies not in what we do to our young children, but who we are to them.”

I was saying to J yesterday that when I was in Edmonton and working wild hours back and forth between YYC and YEG, I was never able to enjoy a spontaneous adventure with him when he got a surprise day off...even though we are still both working lots and often passing our sweet C back and forth, I beyond appreciate these moments we can sneak in!

How do you stay connected with long distance friendships - Write letters? Facetime? Text? Something Unique??

“Practise makes progress.” Perfection is never “Practise makes progress.” Perfection is never what we’re looking for; progress is.

I’ve loved this saying for some time, and when I heard a parent say it to one of my students the other day, I nearly melted. 

[Side note: This is what podcasting with C-bear looks like. Have you been hearing her chime in on our recent podcasts?]

What are you working on “progressing” at right now?
