Zero Waste 3 Ways: Dental Hygiene

Oh yay, we're on to the fourth instalment in this Zero Waste 3 Ways series! Woohoo! I'm always so excited to come up with something new to share with you in this regard. So far, you can already see 3 ways you can do straws, deodorant and menstrual products. Now, let's go ahead with dental hygiene! It is actually one of the earliest zero-waste item I've ever known—along with deodorant. At first, my concern was that I had to make my own toothpaste all the time. It is—as I'm sure you will also agree—can be quite tedious and, personally, I cannot see myself DIY-ing my toothpaste every few months. Also, you can always run the risk of making something that is either too strong or in any way unsuitable for your teeth and gums. Again, it's another one of those items where you need to have a bit of trial and error, but who's got time for that? Well, thankfully, with the rise of popularity in leading a more conscious lifestyle these days, we no longer need to make our own zero-waste dental hygiene products. In fact, the products I will touch on in this post are all available for purchase from a variety of brands and stores. On top of that, you can judge from my experience what will most likely suit you.

Rethinking My 30 Before 30 List

Woohoo! It's officially my birthday month! Do bear with me as I milk the hell out of this month—and what better way to start than with the list? As you may know, I've been making lists of goals for my birthday for ages. Usually, it's an annual occasion, until in 2018 I decided to go big and make a 30 Before 30 List. Since then, I just update how much of the list I have accomplished so far every year. However, 2018 for me now feels like such a long time ago. So many profound, life-altering things have happened since then and I can no longer relate to the version of me from back then. Her wishes and goals no longer resonate with mine of today—at least partially. This is something I've been thinking about for a while: do I really want to fulfil goals and wishes that I don't care about anymore? So I thought today I finally take apart the list I once made and redirect the goals to actually reflect what I want to accomplish in life. If you're curious, feel free to look at what I decided to keep and discard from this list.

10 Insightful Nonfiction Books to Make You Smarter

As much as fiction can be entertaining and self-reflective, I find that nonfiction is just as important in developing our mindset and knowledge. Yet, just like fiction, there are all kinds of nonfiction to choose from—it has as many genres as fictions, actually. Personally, my favourites are those with cold, hard facts in it—anything scientific, historical or cultural. I mean, I wouldn't knock a good self-help or a memoir or biography, but as far as keeping my mind sharp and widening my horizon, I often would need to turn to numerical and hard-proven data. And, honestly, books that have evidently been thoroughly researched taught me many new things about and changed the way I see the world. It has opened my eyes to how little I know about this realm I live in. So I thought today I'd share some of the insightful nonfiction books I've read before that will surely enrich your knowledge and knock your horizon wide open. Enjoy!
