SOAP SAVVY

When it comes to wastage, it is one thing I have always frowned at. It is so bad that I get mad at myself if I was the one who is guilty of wasting something. Usually, I can be carefree about some things wasting away, but when it comes to food, that is almost unforgivable but I do understand that some things just happen and there was little or nothing that could have been done but the moment it becomes an habit, then it is unfortunate. But today, I won’t be sharing my story of how I make sure to avoid food wastage but something different and almost insignificant for some persons.  Growing up, I always enjoyed being the first person to use a new bath soup because it has all its qualities intact. But I noticed how quickly the soap always gets ugly and also exhausted and it was due to how it was used. Most people that I have lived with care little or nothing about how the bath soap is used as long as they get inside the bathroom and the bath soap is readily available for use. We can be so wasteful when it comes to our bath soap and that’s because we probably haven’t thought about good ways to avoid unnecessary wastage. For me, I have learnt the hack of using my bath soap longer than usual after I noticed the main reason why it gets finish quickly and that’s because of the amount of wetness it is exposed to for a long time. Some people make use of a bath soap container to keep their bath soaps but then the bath soap container is the kind of container that can easily retain water and that makes it even worse. The soap is always moist and that leads to the bath soap easily melting and breaking while using it and I’m not sure about you but for me, the moment the bath soap is already halved, I usually find myself misusing it so it gets finished quickly so I can replace it.  So to avoid this unnecessary wastage, I decided to buy a better bath soap container that I can cover properly and it is not capable of retaining water. Ever since then, I use my bath soap for more than one month which was less than that before. And that way, I have been able to save myself some money and also keep the place where I keep the bath soap tidy in the process. I also save my soap from unhealthy exposure to bacteria and other things that might not be safe for my body if deposited on my soap. So what about you? Have you ever thought about avoiding this kind of wastage? If not, it’s my pleasure sharing it with you! Thank you for reading through. ❤️ * _{Images used are mine} *
