How Becoming More Eco-Conscious Can Save You Money

It’s been 8 years since I first started to make more eco-conscious decisions and purchases in my life. At first, I made the eco-friendly switches in order to help to reduce my waste, but as I made more and more, I gradually began to notice how much healthier my bank account was becoming. Oh, I know, I know, I can hear you telling me that eco products are far more expensive than disposable ones, and yes, that is true… To an extent. Let’s break down how I have saved money since living more sustainably and how you could do it too.

What Is a Heat Pump and Is It Right for Your Home

*Collaborative Post

Heat pumps get talked about a lot now, usually in a slightly breathless “you must get one immediately” tone, which makes people suspicious. Fair. The truth is way less dramatic: a heat pump is just a really efficient way to heat and cool a house by moving heat instead of creating it. That’s the simple version. The real story is a little more interesting.

Review: How the SURI 2.0 Sustainable Electric Toothbrush Compares to the Original SURI 1.0

*PR Product & Affiliate Links

If you’ve been around here a while, you’ll know that we’ve been using the original SURI Sustainable Electric toothbrush for years now, and you can see from my review how much I love it: lightweight, eco-conscious, quieter than most brushes, long-lasting charge and it works incredibly well. So, when SURI brought out their brand-new SURI 2.0 model, I was genuinely excited to see what they’d updated. After all, the SURI 1.0 was already pretty great, so upgrading it without ruining the simplicity was going to be a challenge. But after a couple of months of use, I’ve got a clear sense of what feels new and whether it’s actually worth upgrading. Let’s take a look at how the SURI 2.0 compares to the SURI 1.0…

Review: Sustainable and Refillable Toothpaste From Mighty Mouthcare

*Ad

When it comes to making greener choices, one of the hardest swaps for many is to eco-friendly dental products. The options over the years have been pretty sparse in my opinion, with toothpaste tabs being one of the most talked about ways to ditch the plastic, but let’s be honest, chewing a tablet first thing in the morning really isn’t it. Not only did I find the texture almost unbearable, but my mouth didn’t feel very clean after brushing, and they also weirdly gave me heartburn! Other brands have tried, but many don’t include Fluoride (something I personally want to use) and don’t taste great. I did eventually find something I loved, but I couldn’t get the children or my husband on board with it, so for years, I have had no choice but to continue to buy them the standard plastic tube toothpastes from the supermarket (begrudgingly!) That was until this summer, when the new brand Mighty Mouthcare contacted me asking if I would like to try out their sustainable and refillable toothpaste, which does contain Fluoride. I had never heard of a refillable toothpaste before and was really intrigued, so I jumped at the chance to put this product through its paces and after 3 months of use, I am ready to give you my honest thoughts…
