Last month I looked into finding better alternatives to the general toothpaste. Things I was looking for were: natural ingredients, zero waste and fluoride free.
🌿
Unfortunately sometimes there is a need for fluoride to fix or reinforce the enamel. For me it's not a long term solution, as I prefer leaving fluoride out of my pal care and there are other ways to protect your teeth as well - check @georganicsuk and their blog for great tips!

I quite liked using ecodenta, especially their charcoal toothpaste as it doesn't have fluoride, but when I need it their other toothpaste is a more natural option than what you find in the regular stores. And recently I tried toothpaste tablets from @societyzero_cic which I must admit I like.
🌿
As this month didn't go to the plan I'm still trying out different options. It's great to see how many natural toothpaste brands there are, now I just wish to see more that are also zero waste 🍃
I like to think how I can make my choices more sustainable in life, in work and when shopping. Unfortunately, we add not yet at the stage where everything can be made sustainable. It's sometimes hard to accept it, especially with technology she fixing something costs so much more than buying a new one.
It was last week when I mentioned that my sewing machine broke. I loved that machine, it had got be through my university studies and into freelance work, through easy fixes to stressful projects. I've been using it almost daily for 6 years. Of course, at the time I want choosing a machine that will last me until the end of my great grandchildren's lives, but I did hope it would last me longer than this.
But sometimes we have to let things go and choose better the next time. It's okay to let things go, just be mindful why you are letting them go and what you learn from it. Instead of doing impulsive shopping decisions shop around, ask around and do your research. Is the product you are buying the best? Will it last? Will it function the way you want it to? Can it be fixed?
It's quite unbelievable that this picture was taken in February. It was exceptionally warm and it looks like it's continuing to be warm. Although, I said that in confused due to the weather, there were many things that made February a good month! I saw the Favourite, which I enjoyed! I read 11 books, I've seen little Tiger growing and becoming a cute little t teen-ager and I was even more excited about videos for cats as it seems to calm him down when he is overly excited. I'm also really happy about my sister graduating and they I finally got to book tickets to go and see her, which is something to look forward to during this really busy spring! 🙌
