Hi guys!

If you’ve been following along on my Instagram you will see my eco journey (I created a highlight reel too) through stories and posts dedicated to reducing waste. I’ve always like to use clean products (skincare or laundry/cleaning products included there) but now I’m finding ways to reduce waste. Less plastic is a big part of that.

I’ve partnered with two amazing companies NetZero Company and Tru Earth. Both have eco laundry strips I was gifted which save tons of plastic laundry jugs from going into landfills, they reduce tons of pollution due to the lightweight shipping of this product (versus the heavy laundry jug alternative), and they are hypoallergenic and free of chemicals and dyes so it’s better for your skin, hair, and overall health. You also save money when you use dryer balls as I no longer buy fabric softener or dryer sheets. They are good for about 1,000 dryer loads! By the way dryer sheets are among the most toxic household items you will use. All kinds of chemicals are on those, isn’t that nuts?

Net Zero also gifted me a collapsible reusable straw with holder for my purse and I’m waiting to receive some other exciting products from both stores that I’ve been super excited to use so I’ll share more on my stories later.

Both companies have other zero waste products in their stores too! Things like reusable makeup wipe pads to eliminate cotton balls and wipes, reusable silicone ziplock style bags, bees wax wraps (a fave of mine that is reusable for covering food and won’t harm the environment), cloth grocery and produce bags, and much more. Use my code Carolina10 in each store for a discount. They are both small businesses, and they ship everywhere! Unfortunately with Tru Earth I won’t get credit if you just use the code. You also have to click this link first to shop their products (If you go with their stuff I so appreciate you clicking my affiliate link so I can get credit for introducing you)! Don’t forget to use Carolina10 to get 10% off of anything on their sites!

Let me know how you like the products once you’ve used them. Finding ways to reduce waste feels so good & you are doing so much good for the planet 🌎 ♻️ 😉

Xo,

Carolina

PS my Amazon shop link I’ve been asked for (with all my fave products on Amazon to easily shop in one page) is once again linked here!

Hi there!

Happy New Year! 🥂🎊✨🥳 I hope you had a great time celebrating. I put a reflective post up on IG with my thoughts on 2020. Let me know what your thoughts are I would love to know. I also posted about which New Years look I went with, and this matching cozy lounge set & slippers won over the sequin jogger and velvet heels look since let’s be honest it was a stay home kinda New Years! I tagged alternatives of both looks on my LIKEtoKNOW.it page so you have plenty of options to choose from of my loungewear faves. Nasty Gal’s site is having a HIGE 90% off sale and they have an amazing variety of loungewear co-ord sets. I snagged another one (see me wearing it below, it’s also on LTK). Amazon has great options too. Follow me on Amazon to shop my faves lists, of which these slippers are featured in the “clothes and loungewear” list. There you have my whole grouping of items I’ve bought and swear by as well as some others I’ve taken note of to snag later. I even included home decor a lot of which was in my home posts a while back (lots of registry items I got are on there)!

This adorable tartan plaid cape/poncho look I wore out recently to visit the grounds of Gilette Castle in Connecticut. The cape is older but I linked many similar and varying options on my LIKEtoKNOW.it page. Download the app and shop all my looks easily there! I styled it with my JCrew Factory corduroys I’ve posted about on LIKEtoKNOW.it and on here (the JCrew sales are amazing also! These cords were about $20) and my Sorel winter boot faves (called the “Tofino II snow boot”). These ones aren’t heavy to wear at all like the Joan of Arc ones were that I had to return. They keep me warm and dry. My sweater is from Nordstrom and the cashmere is so soft. Finally, even the JCrew face mask is tartan plaid to match. My hat is JCrew factory as well.

Stay safe and healthy and practice self care as we ring in a new year:)

Xo,

Carolina
