This year I didn’t participate in plastic free July. It’s so much effort on our part to avoid plastic despite the increase in sustainable companies. This month, last year I spent so much time focusing on avoiding plastic. I even felt guilty when I needed to use a plastic fork (I felt a lot of pressure to do plastic free July perfectly). We live such busy lives, so how do we do our part in saving the planet without compromising our precious time? 

If you’re not participating in the challenge like me, plastic free July is the perfect time to learn about and experiment with some plastic free alternatives. I’m a long time lover of Lush beauty and when I learned about their “Naked” collection of package free beauty products, I had to try them. I tried a bar shampoo, bar conditioner and bar body butter for a month and here is my personal review of each of the products.
