I'm currently reading How to Give Up Plastic by Will McCallum on Libby. Along with shocking statistical numbers around plastic usage and waste, the book provides how to cut back on plastic in household and suggests eco-friendly (and often vegan friendly) brands. Here is a table from the chapter 5 and our progress to plastic-free bathroom/cosmetic items.

| Sponge | Recently changed to biodegradable sponges made in UK. |
| Lipstick | Using an Australian vegan brand Inika for about two years now. I love them but I believe their packages are plastic and are not refillable. |
| Foundation | Same as above. Since it seems difficult to buy Inika's products in Japan, I may need to look into other options that use less plastic and refillable. |
| Other make-up products | I don't intend to buy any make-up tools as I am happy with what I have now, but if I need replace any of them, remember to do a little internet search before buying! It's very unlikely that I can find any in drug stores and 100-yen shops in Japan! |

| Toothbrush | Since my 6-7 year-old electric toothbrush is almost broken, recently ordered biodegradable ones from Georganics. Cannot wait to try them! |
| Toothpaste | Bought a plastic-free one from Georganics. I hope I will like it, thought their products may not be available in Japan. |
| Lip balm | Once used up the current ones, I shall move to plastic-free ones and they are easy to find. |
