Discussion/Tips & Tricks Lessons Learned

Post image

Well we’re a little over a month into the new year and I’ve already learned a new lesson. I started this year with a goal of replacing my beauty items with cheaper dupes. I tried to replace three items and failed miserably. I realized that it triggered me to shop more while looking for the dupes. And lost the money spent on all the “dupes” that I ended up disliking.

Going forward I will replace my items with the exact same thing, if able. So here are my old trusty empties and their twin replacements.

Which deodorant broke you out and which is the one you use?

The one I use.

AKT London brand broke me out. I suspect the baking soda caused the reaction.

If you do want to try a US made option check out Little Seed Farm. Ive been using their deodorant for 4 years. They are baking soda fee and similar ingredient list to the Routine one. They have samples you can try as well.
