How to clean the washing machine: the definitive guide
Bye-bye plastic
The first step for those who choose a sustainable life is to say goodbye to plastic. Today, multipurpose containers have become our best friends, real allies in our daily lives because they help us to put our things in order and organize, in perfect harmony with the environment. How much plastic we have simply wasted with water bottles in the family ! It is therefore essential not to buy disposable containers that increase the waste of plastic in an incredible way and instead focus on reusable containers and practical water bottles, which are very practical, do not pollute and are also really nice to take with you! A "great idea to reduce your own personal consumption of plastic is also to choose products without packaging, a "smart idea with zero stress to immediately become greener!"
Support communities with locally sourced products
We are what we buy! A zero waste lifestyle inevitably begins the moment we choose the products to buy and the things that are part of our life. To amplify our sustainable awareness, we focus on products that share our same values and ideals. Today there are so many brands that are moving to do something important for the planet, such as those that start sustainable productions that at the same time support local communities. They are environmentally conscious brands that offer you truly beautiful and pleasant products! One of these is Air Wick, which with its Botanica line brings into our homes perfumers for environments inspired by nature and attentive to the Planet. Sprays, candles, perfumers and electric diffusers with exclusive fragrances based on natural ingredients, responsibly selected and from exotic places around the world. Already the names transport you to wonderful places: mint from Morocco and pink grapefruit, sandalwood and vetiver from the Pacific or even vanilla and magnolia of the Himalayas. And this is just a taste! Are you ready to live an extraordinary sensory experience?
New light to the old candles!
There are hobbies that allow you not only to spend some pleasant hours of relaxation but also to make small gestures pleasing to the environment. A green (and very fragrant) activity consists in melting the remains of old candles and thus creating new ones. As a mold you can let your imagination run wild and recycle things you have at home, an old antique object you don't want to part with or even clean jam jars after use. Recycling old candles is really simple. To do this, put your used candle in the freezer for at least 20 minutes. Frozen wax breaks in an instant and without difficulty: to do it correctly, use a common hammer. At this point the funniest phase, the melting of the wax. You can use a saucepan and electric plate kit dedicated to this activity or use the kitchen stove. The flaky wax should be dissolved in two fingers of water, to turn the mixture you can then use a wooden ladle. Now that the wax is melted, add your favorite essential aromas to perfume your candles.
Before making your new candle, choose the mold you like best. Glue a wick to the base and then fill the mold with melted wax. Your new candle solidifies quickly and will soon be ready for use!
