In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of choosing environmentally friendly and cruelty-free products in our daily routines. This trend extends to our hair care products, where the use of wooden and vegan options has gained popularity. In this blog post, we will explore the reasons why opting for wooden and vegan hair care products is not only better for the environment but also for the health and vitality of your hair.

Anti-Frizz Bamboo Brush

Environment friendly

One of the most compelling reasons to switch to wooden and vegan hair care products is their eco-friendliness. Traditional plastic hair care items contribute to pollution and are often difficult to recycle. In contrast, wooden hairbrushes, combs, and accessories are sustainable and biodegradable. Using these products reduces your carbon footprint and supports a more sustainable future for our planet.

Vegan ingredients promote healthy hair

Vegan hair care products contain plant-based ingredients that are free from harsh chemicals, sulfates, and parabens. These gentle formulations are better for your hair because they avoid stripping its natural oils, resulting in a healthier and more balanced scalp. Additionally, vegan products are typically rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals that promote hair strength and growth.

Hypoallergenic

For individuals with sensitive skin or allergies, wooden hair care products are an excellent choice. They are less likely to cause skin irritation or allergies compared to plastic or metal counterparts, as they are made from natural materials and do not contain synthetic or potentially harmful substances.

Longevity

Wooden hair care products are durable and long-lasting. While plastic alternatives may wear out quickly, wooden brushes and combs can serve you for many years, reducing waste and the need for frequent replacements.

Our Bamboo Hair Set

Choosing wooden and vegan hair care products is a conscious decision that benefits both your hair and the environment. By making this switch, you can enjoy healthier and more vibrant hair while reducing your ecological footprint. Additionally, you can take pride in supporting cruelty-free practices and ethical manufacturing processes. Make the switch today and start reaping the rewards of choosing a more sustainable and responsible path to beautiful hair. Your hair, the planet, and future generations will thank you for it.

Winter is an absolutely delightful season, filled with fun things like the Holidays, cozy sweaters, and hot cocoa. However, winter also brings with it some challenges and one of the most common complaints during this season is chapped and dry lips. It might take a little extra work, but you can still have soft lips in winter by following simple steps.

Remember to hydrate 

One of the most common causes of chapped lips during the winter is dehydration. Cold, dry air can sap moisture from your skin, including your lips. To combat this, it’s essential to stay well-hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin —and lips— properly moisturized from the inside out.

Use a quality lip balm 

Invest in a good quality lip balm that contains hydrating ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil, or cocoa butter. Apply it liberally throughout the day to create a protective barrier against the harsh winter winds and lock in moisture. Keep a lip balm in your purse, pocket, or desk so you can reapply as needed.

Avoid licking your lips

It’s a common habit to lick your lips when they feel dry, but this can actually make the problem worse. Saliva contains enzymes that can break down the skin on your lips, leading to even more dryness and chapping. Instead of licking your lips, reach for your lip balm.

Cover your mouth when you’re outdoors

If you’re planning to spend extended time outdoors during the winter, especially in windy or snowy conditions, consider covering your lips with a scarf or a high collar. This will help shield them from the harsh elements and prevent moisture loss.

Humidify your environment

Indoor heating systems can make the air inside your home incredibly dry, which can contribute to dry lips. Consider using a humidifier to add moisture to the air in your living spaces. You can find some cheap options online! 

Be careful with matte lipsticks

While matte lipsticks can look amazing, they tend to be more drying than other types of lip products. During the winter, consider using moisturizing lipsticks, lip stains, or lip glosses that provide color while also protecting and moisturizing your mouth.

Taking care of your lips and the environment shouldn’t be as hard as it is, which is why at Not to Die For* we want to make sure you have access to green alternatives to everyday products, so you can worry about your personal care, and we’ll take care of the rest. Check out our shop! 

Water is a precious resource that we often take for granted. It’s not news that water is scarce and some places can’t even get access to clean sources. We know it’s hard to change habits, but by adopting simple yet effective measures, we can significantly reduce water consumption in our homes. Here are some easy, actionable ways in which you can save water (and lower your bills!)

Fix leaks

One of the most common culprits of water waste is leaks. Even small drips can add up to a substantial amount of wasted water over time. Regularly check your faucets, toilets, and pipes for leaks, and repair them. By addressing leaks promptly, you can prevent unnecessary water loss and reduce your water bill!

Install water-efficient fixtures

Consider replacing old fixtures with low-flow alternatives. Install low-flow showerheads and faucets that can help you save significant amounts of water without compromising on functionality. Similarly, opt for dual-flush toilets or place a water-saving device in your toilet tank to reduce the amount of water used per flush.

Take shorter showers

Showers can consume a considerable amount of water, especially if you tend to take long, leisurely showers. Challenge yourself to shorten your shower time by a minute or two. Over time, this small change can lead to significant water savings. Additionally, consider turning off the water while lathering or shaving to conserve even more water.

BONUS TIP: Solid shampoos and conditioners help you waste less product, and therefore help lower water pollution. 

Collect and reuse rainwater

If you have a garden or plants that need watering, you can collect rainwater for these purposes. Of course, it’s not safe to drink or bathe in rainwater, but collecting rainwater in barrels or tanks allows you to reuse it for various purposes such as watering plants and cleaning.

Optimize outdoor water usage

When it comes to outdoor water usage, simple changes can make a big difference. Water your lawn and garden during cooler hours, preferably early in the morning or late in the evening, to minimize evaporation. You can also consider installing a drip irrigation system, which delivers water directly to the plant roots, reducing waste.

Be mindful of dishwashing

• When washing dishes by hand, don’t leave the tap running continuously. Instead, fill one side of the sink with soapy water for washing and the other side with clean water for rinsing. This simple method can save a substantial amount of water compared to running the tap continuously.
•  If you have a dishwasher, make sure it is fully loaded before running it to maximize water efficiency.

Yes! If you don’t believe us, look at Venus and Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic. Switching to a vegan diet as an athlete is not only possible, but it can also help you thrive in your sport. However, it’s important to consider a few key factors to ensure that your nutritional needs are adequately met. Here are some aspects to take into account when transitioning to a vegan diet as an athlete:

Nutritional balance

As a vegan athlete, it’s crucial to ensure that you’re getting a well-rounded balance of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) as well as micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). Pay attention to sources of plant-based proteins, such as legumes, tofu, tempeh, seitan, and quinoa. Incorporate a variety of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds to obtain a wide range of nutrients. 

Caloric intake

Depending on the intensity and duration of your training, you may need to adjust your caloric intake to meet your energy requirements. Plant-based foods tend to be less calorie-dense, so you may need to consume larger volumes of food or include more calorie-dense options like nuts, seeds, avocados, and healthy oils to meet your energy needs.

Protein requirements

Protein is crucial for muscle repair and growth. While plant-based protein sources are abundant, they may have different amino acid profiles compared to animal-based proteins. Ensure you consume a variety of plant-based protein sources throughout the day to obtain all essential amino acids. Combining foods like legumes with whole grains or seeds can help create complete protein sources.

Iron and vitamin B12

Iron is important for oxygen transport in the body, and vitamin B12 is necessary for nerve function and red blood cell production. These nutrients are commonly found in animal products, so vegans should include adequate plant-based sources or consider supplementation. Iron-rich foods include legumes, spinach, maca powder, and dried fruits. For vitamin B12, fortified nutritional yeast, cereals, or supplements are recommended.

TIP: If you want to know exactly how to get your protein and what you need to supplement, we have a whole blog post talking about it! 

Meal planning and preparation

As an athlete, having a well-structured meal plan is really important to your athletic performance. Prioritize meal prepping, cooking in bulk, and carrying snacks to ensure you have access to plant-based options during training or competitions.

Here’s an example of a high-protein vegan plan for athletes. 

Consult a dietitian or a nutritionist

Consider working with a registered dietitian who specializes in vegan nutrition and sports performance. They can provide personalized guidance, assess your specific nutrient needs, and help you optimize your diet for athletic performance.

Remember that each person’s nutritional needs may vary based on factors such as age, gender, body composition, and training intensity. Consulting a healthcare professional can help you create an individualized plan tailored to your unique requirements.

While switching to a plant-based diet requires attention your nutrition, with proper education you can thrive as a vegan athlete! At Ntdf.* we want to help you achieve your goals, making it easy to transition to a vegan lifestyle. Check out our shop and our vegan resources! 

Going zero waste can be a daunting task, but it is an important and rewarding step towards living a more sustainable lifestyle. When it comes to personal care products, building a zero-waste beauty routine is possible with a bit of effort and planning. Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Start by taking an inventory of all the items in your home that generate waste.
2. Identify which items can be reused or recycled, and which items need to be replaced with more sustainable alternatives.
3. Buy in bulk when possible.
4. Look for products that are packaged in glass, metal, or paper containers that can be reused, recycled, or composted.
5. Opt for solid products that don’t require a container, such as bar soaps and shampoos.
6. Invest in reusable items that can be used instead of disposable products, such as cotton rounds, washcloths, and reusable makeup remover pads.
7. If you must use disposable items, look for products that are made from sustainable materials, such as bamboo or recycled paper.

But we wanted to go even further and give you some real-life examples of changes you can make to your routine to make it as zero-waste as possible. 

Oral Care

Bamboo Toothbrushes

Swap out your traditional plastic toothbrush for a bamboo alternative. Bamboo toothbrushes are biodegradable and take care of your oral hygiene while minimizing plastic waste.

As you might have noticed, at Not to Die For* we are very passionate about reducing our plastic waste as much as we can.  We know it might be hard to transition to zero-waste alternatives, but very small change counts, and collectively, our efforts can make a substantial difference.

In today’s consumer-driven world, single-use plastic has become a huge part of our daily lives. From plastic bottles and straws to cutlery and packaging materials, they have infiltrated every aspect of our existence. However, the consequences of this phenomenon are becoming increasingly worrying, and are messing up our environment and our health. 

What are single-use plastics? 

Single-use plastic, also known as disposable plastic, refers to items designed for one-time use and subsequent disposal. Despite claims of recyclability, 90% of plastic is never recycled after being discarded. Some examples of single-use plastics include:

• Plastic bottles
• Styrofoam takeaway containers
• Straws
• Plastic packaging materials
• Plastic cutlery
• Plastic shopping bags

Marine wildlife in peril

The impact of single-use plastic pollution is most evident in our oceans. Sea turtles, whales, dolphins, and seabirds are among the most affected species. They often mistake plastic debris for food or become entangled in it, leading to injury, suffocation, and starvation. 

Chemical pollution and toxicity

Ocean pollution isn’t the only consequence of single-use plastics; microplastics, the tiny particles created when single-use plastic breaks down, contaminate our environment, water sources, and even the food we consume. This pollution not only disrupts ecosystems but also poses serious health risks. The chemicals present in plastics, including known endocrine disruptors, can lead to hormonal imbalances, reproductive issues, and even cancer.

The recycling illusion

While recycling is promoted as a solution, it’s important to take into account that only 9% of plastic waste actually gets recycled. The rest is either incinerated —contributing to greenhouse gas emissions— or dumped, perpetuating the plastic pollution crisis.

How can we reduce single-use plastics?

Reducing single-use plastics is a crucial step toward mitigating ocean pollution and minimizing the environmental impact of plastic waste. Here are practical and actionable ways you can make a difference by reducing your consumption of single-use plastics:

• Bring your own reusable bags: Keep reusable shopping bags handy when you go grocery shopping or run errands. This eliminates the need for plastic bags and reduces the amount of plastic waste entering the environment.

• Ditch disposable water bottles and coffee cups: Invest in a reusable water bottle (we recommend stainless steel bottles, since they maintain water temperatures better!). Refill it whenever you need a drink to avoid purchasing disposable water bottles. If you’re a coffee or tea enthusiast, bring your own reusable coffee cup or travel mug to cafes. Coffee shops are usually happy to fill your cup instead of providing a disposable one.

• Say no to plastic straws: Skip the straw altogether or opt for reusable alternatives like stainless steel, bamboo, or silicone straws. If you still prefer using straws, carry your own and decline single-use plastic ones.

• Opt for loose produce: When shopping for fruits and vegetables, choose loose produce instead of items pre-packaged in plastic. You can use reusable produce bags!

• Avoid single-use cutlery: Carry a set of reusable cutlery (fork, knife, spoon, and chopsticks) in your bag or lunch box so you can avoid using disposable plastic utensils when you’re on the go.

• Make homemade snacks: Instead of buying individually packaged snacks, prepare your own at home and store them in reusable containers. This not only reduces plastic waste but also allows you to make healthier choices.

• Buy in bulk: When feasible, buy items in bulk to reduce packaging waste. 

• Be mindful of packaging: When shopping, pay attention to the packaging of products you’re considering. Opt for items with minimal or no plastic packaging whenever possible.

• Support brands with sustainable packaging: Support companies that prioritize sustainable packaging solutions, such as those using biodegradable materials. At Not to Die for* all our products have minimal packaging, and all our shipments are done with reused boxes! 

• Spread the word: Educate your friends, family, and community about the importance of reducing single-use plastics. The more people are aware, the greater the collective effort to make positive changes.

By making a conscious effort to reduce single-use plastics, you contribute to a healthier environment and help protect our oceans from further pollution. Every small step counts, and together, we can create a more sustainable and plastic-free future!

Composting is the process in which organic matter such as leaves and food scraps breaks down into soil. It is an excellent method to recycle waste from your yard and kitchen while also enriching the soil in your garden. Apart from this, many eco-friendly options, like bamboo toothbrushes or cork packaging, are fully compostable! 

In this blog post, we will explore the numerous benefits of composting and provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to start your own compost.

The Benefits of Composting

It reduces waste

Composting allows you to avoid organic materials —such as food scraps and paper products— from ending up in landfills. This helps reduce the amount of waste that produces harmful greenhouse gasses through anaerobic decomposition.  

When organic waste decomposes in landfills, it releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Composting provides an alternative by promoting aerobic decomposition, which produces significantly less methane emissions.

It enriches your soil

Compost is a natural fertilizer that enriches the soil with organic matter, essential nutrients, and beneficial microorganisms, promoting healthy plant growth and reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. It improves your soil quality, fortifying its structure, moisture retention, and nutrient content.

It saves money

Composting reduces the need for store-bought fertilizers, soil conditioners, and mulch. Using homemade compost you can save money on gardening supplies and promote a sustainable approach to gardening.

It encourages biodiversity

Compost attracts beneficial organisms such as earthworms, insects, and microbes that improve soil health and enhance biodiversity in your garden. These organisms break down organic matter, aerate the soil, and improve nutrient cycling.

How to start your own compost

Choose a method

Decide between traditional backyard composting or using a composting bin or tumbler. All of these methods are effective, so choose the one that suits your space and needs. 

• Backyard composting: A composting pile is a great way to start composting and consists of starting a heap or pile of organic matter that needs to be turned occasionally to aerate it.
• Composting bins: If you don’t have a backyard, composting in your kitchen is possible using different types of indoor compost bins.They include a charcoal filter in the lid that helps with any potential odors. 
• Composting tumblers: Compost tumblers are bins that sit on a sorting wheel and can be easily turned for aeration. 

BONUS TIP! If for any reason you can’t compost at home, there are many composting services that accept community composting. You can find your closest composting service on this website (US only). 

Select a location

Find a suitable spot in your yard that is convenient yet somewhat hidden. Ensure it has good drainage and is easily accessible for adding and turning the compost.

Gather compostable materials

Collect kitchen scraps like fruit and vegetable peels and coffee grounds. Also, include yard waste such as leaves, grass clippings, and small branches. The pile will break down faster if you add both “browns” (dry ingredients such as dead leaves, newspaper, and cardboard) and “greens” (wet stuff such as food scraps, lawn clippings, and fresh manure). 

“Greens” contain plenty of nitrogen while “browns” have more carbon, and your pile needs both. The usual ratio is 2 parts “browns” to 1 part “greens,” but you can vary this ratio somewhat.

Maintain moisture and aeration

Keep your compost moist but not overly wet (by mixing “browns” and “greens” like we previously said). Regularly turn the pile or use a composting bin with aeration features to ensure proper airflow and decomposition.

Use your compost!

Over time, your compost pile will break down into dark, crumbly soil. Once your compost is fully decomposed (usually within 2-12 months), it is ready to use in your garden. Spread it around plants, mix it with potting soil, or use it as a top dressing for your lawn.

Composting is a simple and effective way to reduce waste, improve soil health, and contribute to a more sustainable future. Embrace the art of composting, and watch your garden flourish while making a positive difference in the world.

At Ntdf.* we have been including more and more compostable items into our catalog. It’s incredibly important for us to minimize the waste we produce, which is why we will always use fully compostable packaging and recycled shipping boxes.

Safety razors are a great eco-friendly alternative to traditional disposable razors. They not only reduce waste, but they also provide a closer shave. They are also incredibly cheaper than buying disposable razors time and time again. You just need to make a one-time investment that will give you a higher quality product with better shaving results. 

An eco-friendly choice

Apart from being more comfortable and higher quality than disposable razors, they are obviously better for the environment. Here’s why! 

• They are reusable: Safety razors can be used for years with proper care and maintenance, which means less waste in landfills.

• They use less packaging: Traditional disposable razors often come in plastic packaging, which contributes to waste. Safety razors typically come in minimal, recyclable packaging.

• They have replaceable blades: Instead of throwing away an entire razor, safety razors have replaceable blades that can be recycled.

How to use a safety razor 

If it’s your first time using this kind of razor, it might be a little daunting. Don’t worry, it’s really easy to shave and change blades! Here’s a little step-by-step guide: 

How to shave using a safety razor 

1. Wet your skin and the razor: This helps the razor glide smoothly over your skin.
2. Apply shaving cream: This helps lubricate the skin and protect it from nicks and cuts.
3. Hold the razor at a 30 degree angle. 
4. Shave in short, even strokes.
5. Rinse and dry the razor: After shaving, rinse the safety razor thoroughly and dry it with a towel. This helps prevent rust and keeps the razor in good condition.

How to change the blade of your safety razor:

1. Unscrew the handle to separate it from the razor head.
2. Open the razor head to access the blade.
3. Remove the old blade carefully and dispose of it safely.
4. Place a new blade onto the bottom plate of the razor head.
5. Close the razor head, ensuring the blade is aligned properly.
6. Tighten the handle back onto the razor head.

Safety razors offer a trifecta of benefits that make them an ideal choice for your grooming routine. They are environmentally friendly, they save you money, and they ensure a smooth shaving experience. You can find the perfect safety razor for all your needs on our shop, where we carry tons of vegan and sustainable products, aimed at making ethical shopping easier. Check them out!

Veganism has gained significant popularity in recent years, and for good reason. At Not to Die For* we encourage everyone to go vegan for the sake of the animals, but we are also aware of the tremendous potential veganism has to mitigate the effects of global warming. So, how exactly does ditching animal products help the Earth? 

Carbon footprint

The production of meat and animal products contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Livestock generates vast amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere. This methane comes from manure and gastroenteric releases, and accounts for roughly 32% of human-caused methane emissions. 

What to watch? 

“Eating Animals”: Based on the bestselling book by Jonathan Safran Foer, this documentary explores the ethical and environmental implications of factory farming. It sheds light on the industrialized food system and the consequences it has on animals, human health, and the planet.

Land and water usage

Raising animals for food requires vast amounts of land and water resources. From clearing forests to irrigating crops to feed livestock, animal agriculture places immense strain on our ecosystems. 

What to watch? 

“Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret”: This eye-opening documentary explores the environmental impact of animal agriculture and its connection to deforestation, water consumption, and climate change. 

Deforestation and biodiversity

The meat industry is a major driver of deforestation, particularly in regions like the Amazon rainforest. Clearing land to create space for livestock farming destroys precious habitats and threatens countless species.

What to watch? 

“Before the Flood”: Produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, this National Geographic documentary takes a comprehensive look at climate change and its various causes and effects. While not solely focused on veganism, it emphasizes the role of animal agriculture in contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and offers insight into sustainable food choices.

Ocean Conservation

Overfishing is a widespread problem that threatens marine life and disrupts delicate ecosystems. By opting for plant-based seafood alternatives or simply removing fish from your diet, you’re helping protect our oceans and allowing marine populations to recover. So go ahead, make like a dolphin and do some underwater cartwheels!

What to watch?

“Seaspiracy”: Dive into the hidden truths of the global fishing industry and uncover its devastating impact on marine life and ocean ecosystems.

By embracing a vegan lifestyle, you’re not only making choices that align with compassion for animals and personal health, but you’re also taking a stand for the well-being of our planet. Each plant-based meal you enjoy becomes a small but meaningful step towards a more sustainable future.
