Sustainability at Home: My Bathroom
How to Clean & Green Your Bathroom Routine
I use a lot of products in my bathroom! So much so that this is one of two separate posts: Shower vs. Sink! Besides my kitchen and garage, this room contains the greatest number of small items - plus, I use them daily. Therefore, it's one of the most efficient areas for making small, incremental changes that can impact your sustainability, and that can revolutionize your self-care routine.
Up First: The Shower!
Let's start in the shower...where we have the best thoughts, and the greatest relxation! Last year, I focused greatly on creating moments of serenity and peace in my life where I can truly savor the moment. One of the easiest ways to tune in to multiple senses at once is to take a few extra seconds to set the scene BEFORE you get to washing. I love to start with scents, because they are greatly linked to your memory...
Scents: A couple of my favorite senses to use in the shower are Lavender*
Grapefruit*
and . Lavender is one of my favorites for evening showers, where it can help you wind down for the evening.

Salts: If you're choosing a bath, my favorite way to take care of my muscles and relax is using Dr. Teals Epsom Salts* These have two different scents (lavender and eucalyptus), and the magnesium sulfate is supposed to help reduce swelling (even if only anecdotal - there's very few situations where sitting in a warm bath won't do you good!)
