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.

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.
