010: The Complete Beauty Products Template

2018-03-06 Mama Minimalist

We don’t need half the name brand products the beauty industry tells us we need.

We don’t need their plastic packaging, toxic ingredients and hefty price tags, either.

When it comes to sustainability, frugality and holistic health, making DIY personal care products at home is the only choice. It’s quick and easy, too.

On this week’s episode, I give you everything you need to replace 6 commercial beauty products with all-natural, homemade ones. We’re making Lip Balm, Deodorant, Non-Petroleum Jelly, Hand + Body Lotion and Anti-Shampoo and Conditioner, all with 5 ingredients or less and under 30 minutes.

Living Seasonally, Not Commercially

What is the "holiday season", really?

Savvy marketers have inserted gingerbread lattes, blow up lawn decor, and lots of gifts as synonymous with December. But we aren't in some made-up season of buying; instead, we are approaching the Winter Solstice. And when nature is our guide, living seasonally is less about shopping hauls and more about existing in pace with the changing seasons.

In a world where we can buy just about anything, it takes intention to live in alignment with nature. On today's show Bailey Van Tassel offers suggestions for weaving what's outside your front door — not what's in Target! — into your seasonal celebrations.

Here's a preview:

[11:00] Transitioning from commercialized seasonal living to interacting with nature at your feet

[15:00] The ways in which nature's pace complements modern life (if, of course, we allow it)

[19:30] Minimalists, unite! Don't buy more ultra-trendy seasonal stuff; do this instead

[25:00] Slow down your life by making your family traditions crave-able

[33:00] Connections between seasons of a year and seasons of a life
