Hi, I’m Mikael from Spain and the next small and meaningful change I want to make is that I would like to find a better shaving cream or gel as I have sensitive skin.. 🙃 my journey started only 6 months ago when I changed my Nivea face cream into a better and more natural cream. That started something for all of us at home and we now all have our own better and more natural shampoos, toothpaste etc. Shaving cream is up next🥰 I am happy to be here😃

This is a fun little challenge I am giving my children tomorrow morning, I thought you might want to play too! Find something heading for the recycling and dream up another use for it. Post a photo and let the community suggest ideas too. Extra imaginary points for the wonderfully ridiculous suggestions! I will pop their ideas and recycling in the comments tomorrow.

@Miranda Van Gogh shared today that she has switched to stainless steel pots and pans and wooden utensils (great work) and it got me thinking about the changes we make that don’t come with an obvious before-and-after. You make the swap, cook dinner, wash up… and life carries on. There’s no obvious outcome that you made a difference today.” It is really hard to quantify the potential health and environmental improvements that you have made from switching to stainless steel from non-stick coatings? Some changes give us something we can see: less rubbish in the bin, money saved, a cupboard that feels easier to manage. Others are harder to measure, especially when our reasons involve our long-term wellbeing or the environment. And that can make them harder to justify, particularly when they cost money, take effort or mean learning a different way of doing things. With a cookware swap, we may never know whether it has changed our individual health, short or longterm. Yes, your stainless steel pan may last a lot longer but a dramatic before-and-after isn’t the only way to judge whether a choice was worthwhile either. And perhaps we. will never get the 'proof' that is was worthwhile? What we can do is ask ourselves: Does this suit how I want to live? Is it practical for our household? Am I choosing something I can care for and use for years? Sometimes the tangible result is feeling more informed, learning a new skill or having everyday things that better reflect what matters to us. Trusting in our selves to know what is best for our, and the environments, long term well-being, rather than needing results that can be measured exactly...this is where our divine feminine comes in and we need to learn to trust her. (Also valid for our men folk, we all hold the feminine and masculine energies and archetypes within us). Have you made a change where you can’t measure the difference, but you’re still glad you made it?

I don’t personally celebrate Halloween. For me, it feels like something special has become wrapped up in a whole lot of retail. Instead, I use this day to think about my ancestors and loved ones in other dimensions, and take a little time to feel connected to them. But I know Halloween brings a lot of joy to many people. The dressing up, the creativity, the excitement of children heading out together… I wouldn’t want to take that away. What I would love to invite is a little awareness around what we buy. The plastic decorations, individually wrapped sweets, costumes that might only be worn once. Before something comes home with us, perhaps we could pause and ask: What will happen to this when the celebrations are over? When we throw something “away”, it hasn’t disappeared. It has simply been taken out of our sight and, often, out of our awareness. It still has to go somewhere on this beautiful planet. Perhaps this year there’s an opportunity to borrow or swap a costume, get creative with things we already have, or choose decorations we’ll enjoy bringing out year after year. There’s room for joy and thoughtfulness in the same celebration. 🌿 If Halloween is something you enjoy, what could you think about this year that keeps the fun while leaving a little less waste behind? 🎃👻🦴🕸️🕷️

Thought I would share our process🥰 First it was a thought and a wish to live more clean, it was a bit overwhelming because where do you start right? 😅 But then we decided to start the carnivore diet and that meant living on very few ingredients and it naturally created a habit of not buying processed food. 🙏 This was back in March 2025 and weve been living non processed ever since. 🥳 Then we started using the app Yuka to scan products like shampoo and face creams, and that started a process of changing products for products without toxic ingredients.❤️ We also bought stainless steel pans and wooden kitchen tools 💪 We still have a way to go but step by step we create small lasting changes to live less toxic❤️❤️ and our adult kids are following our footsteps 🥰🥰
