Last week we had a tiny bout with bed bugs and had to box/bag up all our possessions to have our apartment treated. With #minimalist #may coming up we are turning this inconvenient situation into a #downsizing #exercise! We've decided to leave the boxes in the living room and only put back what we find we need. If it never leaves the box its gone! I've been feeling suffocated by stuff lately, so I'm super excited to see how this goes! *side note this is not all our stuff, some kitchen items, bathroom items, and clothes are already put back! #zerowaste #zerowastehome #zerowasteliving #vegan #spring #tinyhouse #minimalistmay #minimal #springcleaning

If you are looking for a nice spring lip color, honest is a light pinky/nude #lipshine that is the @rmsbeauty natural equivalent to #lipgloss ! The lip shines are my favorite lip products. They are hydrating, long lasting, and go great over the top of their lip-to-cheek products. *product contains beeswax #glasspackaging #zerowaste #zerowastehome #lifewithoutplastic #plasticfree #recycle #natural #organic #beautyproducts #zerowastebeauty #quality

Is it weird to love your toilet paper rack? 100% #recycled toilet paper wrapped in recyclable/compostable paper. In Oklahoma recycled toilet paper is .99 per roll in paper. This is more than I used to pay for non-recycled toilet paper in plastic (around .60-.70 per roll). Is it worth it? I wouldn't say the quality is better, BUT this type of toilet paper does mean less trees have to be cut down for the sake of wiping my ass AND the packaging will biodegradable, unlike plastic. For me the extra cents are worth voting with my dollar for change! I do not buy cleaners and other disposable products, so the extra cost of TP is balanced out. I hope eventually a recycled toilet paper will be made without the cardboard center to reduce more waste! #zerowaste #zerowastehome #vegan #lifewithoutplastic #plasticfree #toiletpaper #compost #eatcleangogreen #zerowastevegan

Illusive is one of my favorite @rmsbeauty lip-to-cheek colors. It looks dark, but a SMALL dot of this matches my natural red/pink lip color well and also ads a little pop! Layering the product creates a much deeper, richer color that is great for a sultry evening lip! Note: product contains Beeswax! #naturalbeauty #zerowaste #zerowastepackaging #natural #rms #beautyproducts #naturalbeautyproducts #illusive #liptocheek

This is about as everyday as it gets for me. These are the @rmsbeauty products I use daily: 1. Un-coverup 11 (concealer & foundation) 2. "Lunar" eye polish (highlight, dark circles, eyeshadow) 3. "Myth" eye polish (eyeshadow) 4. "Karma" eye polish (brows & eyeliner) 5. "Ilusive" Lip-to-cheek (lip color base) 6. "Honest" Lip shine (put over the top of illusive to lighten it up) A little goes a long way with these products. The lip colors and shadows should work for most people. The foundation is NOT for heavy/full coverage. I've had to really work on my skin to like using the un-cover up. But clean, minimal make-up is important to me. My skin has been acne prone, dry, rough, bumpy, oily etc. In the past. The uncover up is meant for spot coverage, not foundation coverage but who wants to really wear foundation? A clean diet (over a long period of time), drinking water, sleep, exercise, and nourishing skincare are needed to make a good canvas for these products so that they can enhance your already healthy skin! #zerowastebeauty #vegan #veganbeauty #bestofvegan #glasspackaging #lifewithoutplastic #clean #naturalbeauty #natural #cleancosmetics #zerowaste #everyday
