a little more green

❄️My @indigenousbox winter box arrived just in time for my birthday! ❄️ It’s full of purples and blues ! ❄️❄️These boxes come with an assortment of indigenous/native products curated by a small indigenous company in Canada and made by small businesses. ❄️ This is honestly the warmest blanket I have ever had and the lip balm tied for my favorite. Green perk: it comes in cardboard so the tube can be composted when it’s empty. ❄️ My new Skoden necklace is in my reels this week. Skoden is an indigenous slang term that means “let’s go then” which has been so motivational for me to share more! ❄️❄️

🧼 Truth on this soap: it smells so good that right now its in my closet. I can’t even make myself use it yet, so I can’t let you know about its actual function because it smells too good! Also green points for paper wrapper that can also be composted!🧼

Things I would do to make this even greener:

• I would have the card in a paper sleeve. There are transparent paper sleeves. I know cellophane protects the paper more and you can see the picture clearly so you get that great first impression but it can’t be recycled.

• Same on the necklace, a transparent/opaque paper envelope.

• I don’t know if there is anyway to store salt in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way so it doesn’t get moisture in it so I’ll look into salt packaging options. I had a Salt Container post with the same problem, Morton’s Salt comes in coated paper canisters that have to be trashed.

• The blanket is shedding a bit but I’m not sure if that’s my son pulling on it or the material. It really is just the best softest most favorite blanket in our house. <3

The box and indigenous art! <3

The comfiest and more gorgeous blanket ever.
