Continuing with the celebrations for Earth Day in Continuing with the celebrations for Earth Day in April, @lastobject got a special campaign to reduce plastic pollution!⁠ ⁠ This years motto is Restore our Earth and one of the very underrated ways of doing so is by recycling plastic. ⁠ ⁠ Why? Because plastic exists in SO many ways and the first plastic ever created still exists today. Recycling is the only way to keep it out of our waterways and oceans. That's why I'm supporting @lastobjects campaign.⁠ ⁠ They will remove 1kg/2lbs of ocean-bound plastic for every product purchased in partnership with Plastic Bank. Shop their range or Last Objects like the @lastswab or @lasttissue and get 10% off your purchase using the code EATYOURSELFGREEN10⁠ ⁠ I've added the link to my Stories 👆🏼⁠ ⁠ #LOEarthDay #EatYourselfGreen #BrandedContent⁠ #earthday #recycle #reduce #reuse #sustainability #recycledplastic #plasticpollution

It’s a new season and I’ve been putting it off It’s a new season and I’ve been putting it off to tidy my wardrobe and update the clothes I haven’t worn in a while and bring forward all the clothes I’ll use in the colder weather. My wardrobe is currently a hot mess of pregnancy clothes and outfits that don’t fit me anymore or are not breastfeeding friendly. It’s time I cull my wardrobe and I’ve been telling myself I want to keep a capsule wardrobe but never truly make the time to set things aside and MAKE IT HAPPEN. Will it happen with a 4-month old baby? Who knows?! 🤷🏻‍♀️ do you want to follow along as I clean up my wardrobe? Drop me your hot tips to keep things tidy and organised! #eatyourselfgreen #zerowaste #minimalism #mindfulliving #mindfulness #greenwashing #sustainableliving #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #sustainability #capsulewardrobe
Since we’ve re-started buying our organic veggie Since we’ve re-started buying our organic veggie box, we can tell how much more we’ve eaten at home and how much better our diet had become. Having so much quality fresh food in our fridge makes us want to cook a lot more and we end up eating a wider variety of seasonal produce which we otherwise wouldn’t. These days I’m all for making things simpler and my life easier and having a box of veggies delivered has been one of those things that improves our lives so much! More time, more food, more variety, more health 🙌🏼 What’s the one thing that makes your life easier & better? #eatyourselfgreen #vegan #veganfood #homemade #healthyliving #healthyeating #zerowaste #eatrealfood #organicproduce #localfood #localproduce #knowyourfarmer #seasonalproduce #homemadeisbestmade
I’ve promised a review of my Ninja so here it co I’ve promised a review of my Ninja so here it comes! We’ve bought the @ninjakitchenapac Blender Duo to substitute our older Ninja model which we used for over 7 years (!). We donated it to a friend who will get a few more years use of it I’m sure. We decided to invest on this new Ninja because we noticed that making smoothies on the older model was getting a little harder and no so convenient with the previous set up. So we got the Ninja Blender Duo 1500. It’s got a proper 2.1L blender jug for bigger mixes and hot foods and also 3 sized cups for a quick and easy smoothie, just like the famous NutriBullet. I particularly love this set up that although is bulkier than the previous model we owned is much nicer looking and compact to keep on our kitchen bench. We love how easy it is to use especially for smoothies of all kinds. Even with ice, it does the job in no time and with ease. Jean really loves that he can choose the size of the cup he wants to make his smoothie and the cups come with 3 easy drinking lids too. In regards to power, the Ninja is really satisfactory in performance. It has a few but quick and helpful settings for fast blends, like purée, soups, smoothies and a pulse option. Plus you can choose from low, medium and high speeds and the numerical display shows time for better measure. It also has a quick button for the Nutri Ninja Blend and Ultra Blend for quick and smoother smoothies 😅 All in all, we are loving it a using it so much. I particularly really appreciate the reliability we get from Ninja products and never had any issues in over 7 years of using their products. PS: this is not a sponsored post. Just my personal experience and review. #eatyourselfgreen #productreview #review #homemade #healthyliving #healthyeating #zerowaste #eatrealfood #foodprocessor #localfood #smoothies #blender #ninja #nutrinunja #homemadeisbestmade
By now you all know that if I could I’d eat past By now you all know that if I could I’d eat pasta everyday, but my dear fiancé isn’t on the same boat so I tend to find lighter options for his gut...⁠ ⁠ Which brings me to this: Have you ever had GF pasta that just tastes meh? ⁠ ⁠ Well, I’m happy to report that I’ve found the real deal 🙌🏼⁠ @pastaromaau tastes like the proper thing and is free from 7 most common allergens (wheat, gluten, egg, nut, yeast, dairy and soy)!⁠ ⁠ You can find it in the mainstream pasta aisle at independent supermarkets.⁠ And they come in 5 different shapes too, like my favourite: casarecce ⁠ ⁠ Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to pasta heaven🍝 Ciao!⁠ ⁠ PS: plastic packaging is necessary to avoid cross contamination in allergen free foods, so don’t forget to recycle that bag ♻️⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #eatyourselfgreen #prgifted #vegan #veganfood #glutenfree #eggfree #dairyfree #pasta #healthyliving #healthyeating #zerowaste #eatrealfood #organicproduce #localfood #localproduce #recycle #madeinaustralia
Nourishing your body after Easter or just followin Nourishing your body after Easter or just following the herd that is sending the message that we need to 'watch our weight', 'detox after eating ~bad~ food on the holidays'?⁠ ⁠ I’ve always thought to have a good relationship with food. That was until I moved to Australia, separated and started working on a candy store. I was alone, in a new country and trying to figure out my new life while also not being able to afford much food, let alone make healthier choices. I didn’t know then, but that was the beginning of my anxiety. And it manifested best in my non-stop eating. I would eat all the time. Later on, when I managed my anxiety somehow, I’ve started being obsessed with my food intake. I was counting calories, nutrients and macros. Eating vegan, raw, and ‘healthy’ food. This blog started when I was at the peak of my ‘clean eating’ journey. But I moved on...I acknowledge it was a much easier road than many face but I’m glad I’ve moved on from the necessity to have a ‘perfect’ diet and making sure I was getting enough protein but not too much sugar 🙄 I’m sharing this because I wanted to break free from never talking about this kinda stuff. I wanted to share that I’m human and that what people see on Instagram feeds are just the curated part of the lives we want to share. I’m sharing this because I hope you have simpler, uncomplicated relationship with food and I hope you enjoyed your Easter choccies. I’m also raising a little kid who I hope will not grow to see food as good and bad. The work I’m doing on myself now is to make sure that my child isn’t affected by society as much as I was about how my body should look like or how much I should eat. I’m loving and learning so much from accounts like @jameelajamilofficial @fuckitdiet @taliaadarling_ @bodyposipanda #eatyourselfgreen #bodypositivity #anxiety #mindfulliving #mindfulness #orthorexia #weightloss #cleaneating #loveyourbody
