    Eco-Friendly Shampoo Bars

    Feb 13, 2020 • Beauty

    This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Spring & Vine. All opinions are 100% mine.

    I’ve been wanting to step up my eco game even more by switching to a more sustainable shampoo.

    About a month ago, I reached out on instagram asking about your favorite eco-friendly (and of course CLEAN) options. Rather than buying a new plastic bottle of shampoo, I wanted to try something different! Well you guys gave me so many ideas that it was a little overwhelming and I didn’t know where to start, haha.

    About a week later, Spring & Vine randomly reached out to me, asking if I wanted to try their NEW shampoo bars?! I felt like this was my chance. Why not?! The stars had aligned! And better yet, they’re available at Target where I shop more than I should (meaning this is one less thing I have to order online – but you can order them from Target online if you want!).

    So at first I was skeptical about shampoo bars because I use a lot of dry shampoo powder and my locks can get a little grimy, you know?! Not to mention my hair is LONG and it takes a lot to get it clean. I started lathering the shampoo bar over my wet hair because I didn’t know how else to do it (LOL) and it got super bubbly and felt like normal shampoo. I started with the soothing Tea Tree & Mint and did a second wash with the volumizing Grapefruit & Rosemary. WOW. To say I was impressed is an understatement because I fully did not expect this situation to work out. Not only that, but the experience was light and airy and felt less “heavy” than shampoo, if that makes sense. I used my normal conditioner because one step at a time, haha but their oatmeal bar is a 2-in-1 so I will try that next.

    So the true test was, how would my hair feel post-shower? Would I be able to brush through it? Well yes, and not only that but it felt voluminous and clean in a good way. Not weighed down at all. I’m just really impressed, if you can’t already tell.

    The Good Facts:

    • Spring & Vine uses 95% less plastic and 90% less water than traditional shampoos
    • They’re PETA-Certified, Vegan and Cruelty-Free
    • Plant-powered with shea butter and essential oils
    • No synthetic fragrances, sulfates, parabens, silicones, phthalates or mineral oils
    • Come in 4 varieties for all types of hair (Lavender & Orange Blossom, Tea Tree & Mint, Oatmeal and Grapefruit & Rosemary
    • Super affordable!
    • Each bar lasts as long as a regular 12.6oz bottle of shampoo, due to their concentrated formula

    I’m SO excited about this switch and it just goes to show, when you ask for something, the universe delivers. You can shop Spring & Vine at Target, in-store and online! It’s about time we go even further at reducing our carbon footprint and use less plastic.

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
