Plastic Free July – A Pause That Makes a Planet-Sized Difference

Plastic Free July – A Pause That Makes a Planet-Sized Difference

Posted by Nicole Sherwin on

Every July, something magical happens.

No, not just Leo season or mid-year sales. I'm talking about Plastic Free July — a global movement that invites us to pause, reflect, and (gently, lovingly) break up with plastic.

For me, it’s not about guilt. It’s not even about perfection.
It’s about the pause.
That little mindful breath before tossing something in the trolley, the bin, or the skincare shelf.

At Eco Diva Natural, we live for this pause.

Because every jar, every lid, every dropper and box has been consciously chosen.
✅ Glass bottles – endlessly recyclable, totally chic.
✅ Compostable and recyclable packaging – because your beauty shouldn’t come wrapped in guilt.
✅ Ingredients that don’t just heal your skin, but don’t harm the earth.

So, what can YOU do this Plastic Free July?
Here are 3 fun, light-hearted, yet mighty tips to shift your habits and glow greener:

  1. Get Flirtatious with Reusables
    Keep a sexy stainless steel straw in your bag. Carry a cute reusable shopping bag that folds into a tiny triangle. Flirt with your barista while you hand over your keep cup. It’s called multitasking. 

2. Date the Label, Not Just the Packaging
Read those skincare and food labels. If it’s housed in plastic and full of things you can’t pronounce, maybe it’s not The One. Choose brands that are loud and proud about being clean, kind, and plastic-conscious.

3. Give Your Trash a Second Chance (It Deserves It)
Turn your empty serum bottles into tiny herb planters. Your body scrub jars into spice containers. Or collect them to refill at zero-waste stores. Reuse is the new romance.

So this July, I invite you to pause with me.
To shop mindfully.
To glow consciously.
And to know that every tiny shift you make adds up — not just for the planet, but for your sense of purpose.

Because beauty should never cost the Earth.
