make your own
There’s nothing more satisfying than a bit of DIY. Whether you put together a Swedish flatpack or upcycle an old piece of furniture, the pride you feel when you’ve made something from nothing instead of buying new is one of life’s simple pleasures. DIY doesn’t just have to be confined to physical items; there’s something tremendous about concocting your own tinctures and beauty essentials, using only natural ingredients, a few spare bottles lying around, and turning your bathroom into an apothecary.
PUTTING THE SHAM IN SHAM-POO
By designing your own shampoo and haircare products, you can tailor your selection of ingredients to suit your skin and hair types, avoid any allergic reactions and cater to your personal skin sensitivities.
From an environmental perspective, you’ll reduce your amount of single-use plastics by using reusable containers. You’ll also be using a higher quality of environmentallysustainable and bio-degradable product, which you can be certain will not contain any polluting chemicals. For your own benefit, you’ll also ensure your body isn’t exposed to synthetic, potentially harmful, ingredients.
