You can absolutely compost blood! Technically if you used compostable period products you could also compost that amount of blood! Blood meal is a common fertilizer, but the blood from your Band-Aids would be nowhere near enough blood to make any difference. Any concerning blood pathogens would also be killed by the composting process, AND blood actually decreases compost time.

The glass Nailfiles by "Holo Taco" are made from a crystal so they don't wear down over time. I like them and the whole nail polish company is selling vegan and cruelty free products

[kroselavy]

I wear only thrifted clothing *expect* for underwear and socks ! I don’t mind paying 20$ for a pair of socks that is beautiful, ethically made and freaking hella comfortable when i know that i only paid 3$ for my skirt and 1$ for my t-shirt

About the tooth tabs/dental advice thing... yeah I accidentally took dental advice from internet humans and didn't go to the dentist for awhile and ended up with 3 cavities because I wasn't using fluoride for 2 years. Oops.

[ireneewight]

Ethical nail file: I believe Holo Taco has one!

[matildas]

Blood is perfectly fine to compost! It enriches the soil, you can actually purchase natural fertilizer that's made with blood. So, no need to have any reservations about composting blood. But maybe don't compost plasters you've used with creams or gels.

Not exactly the most zero waste brand, but halo taco has an amazing glass/crystal nail file that lasts wayyyy longer than any other I've tried.

I love those bandages, but I use the one with charcoal. It’s the only one bandages that stick to my skin and stay in place for the whole day.

[lizmarieghiardi]

I really enjoy the self care talks, regarding your question on videos I’d like to see this year. I do feel like you’re a YouTuber that is able to express the hard things that you’re feeling in a way that I can relate to a lot. If that’s something that you’re comfortable with making on the regular I’m definitely here for it!

I know it's not floss, and it's made of plastic, but Waterpik is a great alternative to floss and it lasts a really long time. I've had mine for like 15 years now and it's still going strong. I will say that they are pricier than when I bought mine though.

[sunniesideup]

There's a product called dura-pik that I ordered a few months back. It's an eco-friendly flosser where you just replace the floss on and I ordered it for my boyfriend since he hates normal floss. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case anyone was looking for something like that!

They also sell sustainable floss and cases and such. Orders ship this March soooo yeah :)

[lukeshepherd]

Wow, I'm so freaking jealous. A zero waste toothtab and they've actually realised that nHAp remineralises teeth up to 4x better than fluoride. Wish you could get this in the UK. I asked Georganics about this and they straight up ignored me.

[MorganHowell]

I'm about to become a massage therapist (WOO) and have had a long, tumultuous school journey to say the least. But my first school that closed provided us with glass nail files and I have kept mine in my suitcase since. I am not gentle with it and it's still going strong almost three years later! I LOVE that thing

[camillaedda]

YES 🙌🏻 One of my new year’s resolutions was to become more zero waste!! This is great! Thank youuuu 🥰🥰

[mbrady]

Same with nail polish. Ain't nobody got time (or energy or money) for that. Stopped painting my nails 10+ years ago.

[heatherpatel]

Welcome back! There is no guilt in being sick during a pandemic - including depression. One day at a time!

[tegand]

Thanks for sharing. Just want to say as someone trying to be more sustainable and learn your channel really provides a great space to go slow. Your videos have helped make sustainability more doable and less scary.

[emberdt]

The entire point of zero waste products is, of course, to reduce waste. I love it. It's just hard to find in most of anywhere that isn't California lol. They aren't all going to be magical products.

[laurenlynch]

Thank you for this! Sending you so much love. Im in a similar boat with my depression, I really appreciated the realness in this and all of your videos. Thank you 💜

[Anxiousbookdragon]

I'm so glad you made another one of these videos! I just got a safety razor and I'm trying some other reusable things that are personal. I'm really trying to start reusing jars in more ways. You really inspire my low waste journey!
