Letting Go Day !


#100daysofhappinessandcreativity 

Day 10... The clouds in London have been super grey and misty today and the rain has made its self so present. I have taken the earlier part of this day as an opportunity to cleanse my bathroom before my working starts. 

I have finally conquered that Basket of things and attempted the impossible !!! The process of throwing away products i no longer need and in turn am harnessing the power to actually let go......this basket has a mix of good & not so good products, so its time to organise and throw what i don't need.



As small as it may seem there is a undefinable soul replenishing feeling of clearing things which have no purpose being in our lives anymore. I cant tell you how many times i have walked into a boots or super drug and walked back out thinking "do i really need this shampoo or this face cream or this bubble bath etc....


Its crazy how something which says "Tree Tree" or "mango" or "Organic" or "Herbal" has so much crap in it.....
What exactly do these words mean??!! :
Phenoxyethanol, benzyl Alcohol, Acrylates, crosspolymer, Triethanolamine, Benzophenone, Bisabolo, Mentha, Piperita, d-limonene, Potassium Sorbate......

Also it freaks me out when i think of products which are flammable or ones which we should keep away from our eyes....i mean come on who remembers that feeling of our poor eyes burning just because a little shampoo or soap fell in it OH MY....Darn its crazy!


Some of these products have even expired, it makes me realise i only hold onto these products because i hate wasting and throwing away, thou it comes to a point where you have to move forward and just clear out. So down the hole it goes.



With many of the jars i knew i could recycle, i have emptied the content and will reuse with some of my own homemade products. I'm preferable going for glass jars.


Expired things, old soaps i brought back from hotels on music tours, and
random lipsticks ready to clear out.


My bag of Bottled nail vanishes ready to clear too (if someone wants holla at me to collect)


So here we go, letting go...... BIN time (ill be recycling the things which i can too)



So this was easy enough right? LOL..... it defo takes a little strength to decide on never buying products - which you cant read the ingredients. Although i have been using natural crystal deodorant and natural oils for a few years, i still had products which i hardly used sitting around spoiling the zen vibe!

This process has defo empowered me to take closer steps to living as close as possible to a chemical free environment.

The next step will be cleaning products! :)
