Healthy, sustainable swaps for your bathroom & bedroom:

4. DIY massage: essential oils with a carrier oil – we love peppermint oil for uplifting and lavender oil for relaxing.

5. Healthy mouth rinse: coconut oil and xylitol keeps your teeth and gums healthy, and your breath fresh.

6. DIY sugar scrub: sugarcoconut oil – or your favourite oil and essential oils.

7. DIY makeup brush cleaner: your favourite oil – olive or coconut oil works a treat and mix with a little dish soap.

8. Reusable baby wipes: lightly moisten a muslin cloth with a spray bottle filled with water and aloe vera gel.

9. Linen spray: keep your sheets fresh with a blend of water, sweet orange and lavender oil in a spray bottle.

10. Natural gel room scent: no diffuser? Simply dissolve 2 Tbsp natural gelatin in 1 cup boiled water add a tsp of essential oils - fragrance will be released over time.
