Well... here we are again. Feels like we’re right back to where we started. Closed. Open. Closed. Open. Closed... . . We will, of course, always do what is asked of us to keep our community, neighbours, and families safe. But this latest COVID-19 closure is disheartening on a whole other level. .... . But we can’t say it enough. WE ARE HERE. . . And while the shop doors remain figuratively closed, our online store is open 24/7. Place your order online for convenient curbside pickup or free local delivery on orders $30+. . . We are replenishing inventory, adding new collections and listing more refillable products in smaller sizes regularly. Please check the online shop when you need to fill up on essentials for your homecare and personal care products (and maybe to treat yourself to some much-needed selfcare must-haves too ) . . (And we have plastic-free bamboo toilet paper, so no need to get caught shorthanded this time around!) . . . . #whatsyourecofillosophy #ecofillosophy #noplasticwithecofillosophy #plasticfree #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #stoppollution #globalwarmingisreal #zerowastegoal #zerowasteoakville #zerowastehalton #dobetter #greenliving #sustainableliving #demandbetter #livingwell #nomoreplastic #ecofabulous #oakville #covidsucks #lockdownagain #bronteevents #oakville #halton #weareinthistogether #madeinontario #madeincanada #supportsmallbusiness #buylocal See more

April 1st, guys!! While there is not much April Fool(ery) is going around this year for many of us, we want to kick off Earth Month by celebrating the beautiful and vibrant community we live and work in. We want to encourage everyone to take individual actions, on a regular basis, to be kinder to the Earth. These actions might feel small but they could add up quickly and become impactful when we do them together. . . The video is taken today along the shore of Lake Ontario, ...between the Town of Oakville and the City of Burlington, Ontario. It is a peaceful spot. Until the end of the clip... Let’s take action - keep nature clean and put trash where it belong . #whatsyourecofillosophy #ecofillosophy #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #shoplocal #smallbusiness #shopsmall #shoplocal #oakville #oakvilleontario #zerowasteoakville #sustainableliving #livingwell #ecofabulous #newshop #newshopintown #bronteoakville #shopoakville #shopbronte #refill #fallinlovewithlocal #ecofamily #greenfamilyliving #earthmonth2021 #smallactionsbigimpact #takeaction #weareinthistogether #bekindtomotherearth #takecareofnature See more

Did you know we refill toothpaste too? In addition to the toothpaste tablets we carry, we also have a refillable paste from @rosecitron.ca This flouride-free toothpaste is made in Canada and has xylitol which is considered to be an effective defense against tooth decay, enamel breakdown and plaque build-up, when adding to your daily oral care routine. It is smooth and foaming in texture, and will keep your breath fresh all day. . .... Another great thing about it? It does not come in a plastic tube (that cannot be recycled!) We refill this toothpaste in our or your reusable and refillable container. . . . . #whatsyourecofillosophy #ecofillosophy #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #shoplocal #smallbusiness #shopsmall #shoplocal #oakville #oakvilleontario #zerowasteoakville #sustainableliving #livingwell #ecofabulous #newshop #newshopintown #bronteoakville #shopoakville #shopbronte #refill #fallinlovewithlocal #ecofamily #greenfamilyliving #naturaltoothpaste #refillabletoothpaste #refillevolution #plasticfreeoralcareproducts #plasticfreedentalcare #refillnotlandfill See more

Just keep them cool and out of sunlight for a few weeks. . 4 Eco-concious gift wrap - use up any wrap you have left, but if buying new, remember most commercial wrap and ribbons go straight to waste. . 5 Shipping reminder - set an alarm to remind yourself when packages need to be sent this year to arrive in time for the holidays! . .
