Your Spring Reset: Simple Eco Swaps for Home, Skin & Travel
Why Spring Is the Season for a Reset
There’s something about spring that feels like a fresh start. The days are longer, the light is brighter and we’re all ready to shake off winter routines. In Australia, spring also means more picnics, long weekends away and a return to the outdoors, and that can often mean more plastic bottles, disposable cups and takeaway containers.
A CSIRO survey in 2023 found that Australians generate more plastic packaging waste during the warmer months due to increased socialising, holidays and food on the go. By making a few intentional swaps now, you’ll not only feel lighter in your routines but also reduce your footprint at the exact time it tends to grow.
Freshen Up Your Skin & Body Care
Spring often calls for lighter products and simpler routines. Instead of a bathroom shelf filled with plastic bottles, choose natural, toxin-free alternatives that are kind to your skin and the planet.
- Soap & shampoo bars: Plastic-free, concentrated, and long-lasting. Let them dry on a draining dish and they’ll last up to 2–3 times longer than bottled liquid soap.
- Natural hand & body wash: Gentle cleansing that feels fresh in warmer weather.
- Bamboo & wooden combs: Durable, plastic-free styling tools that add a tactile, natural element to your bathroom.
These swaps aren’t just better for the environment, they create a bathroom that feels calmer, fresher and more intentional.

Upgrade Your Picnic & Travel Rituals
Warmer days mean more time outdoors, whether that’s a picnic in the park, a long weekend away or simple alfresco lunches at home. Ditch the disposables and pack reusables that look beautiful and last season after season.
- Fressko reusable cups & bottles: One reusable cup can save ~365 single-use cups a year if you grab a coffee daily. Sleek hydration for tea, coffee, or water.
- memobottle: A flat, stylish design that slides neatly into laptop bags and carry-ons, perfect for spring holidays.
- Put a lid on it containers: Conscious food storage made for spring gatherings. Ideal for fruit, cheese or salad at a picnic and freezer-safe when you’re back home.
- Eco Picnic Kits: All-in-one bundles for getaways, ensuring you’ve got your cutlery, straws and storage sorted.
Practical tip: Packing just three reusable items, a bottle, a cutlery set and one container, can help you avoid almost all single-use plastic while travelling.

Refresh Your Home with Conscious Details
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to mean harsh chemicals or endless plastic sprays. Instead, think about small eco swaps that refresh your home with less waste and toxins.
- Dish Soap Tins & Brushes: Effective cleaning, minus the plastic bottle.
- Reusable Cloths & Sponges: Compostable and practical, breaking down in 6–8 weeks compared to sponges that linger in landfill for hundreds of years.

These details create a home that feels lighter, fresher and more aligned with the season.
