Composting for Apartment Dwellers, Part 2

Liquid Magic (for your Skin)

As I’ve mentioned previously, my zero-waste journey began when I was still dealing with acne as an adult and as a last resort, I starting making homemade skin products rather than using industrial products packaged in plastic and made with chemicals.

If you’re a tea lover like me, you know tea can contain an insane amount of packaging. But as always, there’s a way to consume without producing so much waste.
