Swap it to something better-for-you

Everyone has their own unique collection of products used on repeat; rituals and self-care items that become embedded in our lives, whether it’s a go-to body scrub or the most luscious home scent. 

We are truly spoiled for choice in today’s world, which is an amazing thing, because this allows us to find products that perfectly match our needs and values. 

There are so many brands in the world pioneering positive change in the items we use each day. These innovators are finding creative ways to tie effectiveness with new ingredients, formulas and materials that are better for us and better for the earth. So why not swap to better-for-you when we can?

We love the idea of reducing our impact on the planet, and improving our well-being, simply by making seamless product swaps for something that aligns with all aspects of our values. 

If you’re in the mood for an upgrade, here are our tips for making eco- or health-friendly swaps for your favourite everyday items. 

1. Bite a better-for-you snack. Innovation is happening in the food and beverage world, as companies like I Am Grounded are finding ways to create more from less, reducing waste in our supply chains while crafting delicious treats. 

2. Try sober substitutions. A glass of bubbly is lovely, but it’s not always the right time for a mid-morning headache that follows you through the next day. We love the non-alcoholic substitutions by brands like Edenvale, founded on the belief that non-alc wines should offer the same complexity and variety as traditional ones.

3. Indulge in passion projects. The best brands in the world are founded on a simple mission: to get even better at doing what they do best. We love Prana Chai tea blends, which were born in the back of a Melbourne café by three friends and now shared with the world.

4. Leave animal testing behind. Brands like MooGoo are making animals the hero of their products, without the need for cruelty. We love vegan-approved beauty substitutions that assure us our favourite furry and four-legged friends were not harmed in the making.

5. Go safe and natural. Skincare is one area where clean, organic ingredient lists are topping the charts. We choose Love Beauty Foods for their organic essentials that have minimal impact on the planet.

These beautiful better-for-you products, among many more goodies, are available in our Winter ‘Rest & Relax’ Retreat Box.
