This will be a continuation of a series I started way back when on my old blog site: It was a means to encourage and support small local businesses and just share my pure joy and excitement in unearthing a go-to staple product, whether it is for my home, body and skin care, fashion or food, there is much to discover especially off the back of the ‘panoramic’ there seems to be more innovation and entrepreneurial spirit.
Today I am sharing a one-stop shop UNPLUG which I have been a customer of for a few years now; after going on a natural deodorant expedition of trial and error I finally came across a brand that they stock, I tried it, and it did the job and I continue to buy.
What does UNPLUG stand for?
We move away from mass production, synthetic materials and trends to broaden our collective appreciation for authentic design, craftsmanship and human values. UNPLUG offers a way out from the trappings of the fast culture and provides an easy transition to sustainable living and mindful consumption
UNPLUG is a carefully curated store (physical and online) stocking independent brands. I remember when I first started going to their store in Bangsar Village 2, there was a good varied selection of items, while now when I drop by, I find new additions including clothing and swimwear made from recycled fabric, a jewellery brand where 50% of the profits go towards paying for the school fees of a refugee child at Fugee School, and beautifully handcrafted home décor from Sarawak, and and and less I forget they also have a refill station for body wash, shampoo and conditioner! It is remarkable to see how much they have grown and continue to grow.
Below are a few purchases (or similar) I have made over the years;
The deodorant, which I happen to have done a blog post on; I have been repurchasing for a couple of years now and the organic cotton pads, I swapped from regular drug store-bought pads to this Bobble brand sometime last year and have no intention of going back, and the bougie silk eye mask was a gift for a certain someone (hint, the guy who sleeps next to me at night), the soothing mist was a very recent purchase and so far so good.
Don’t tell the husband…. here are some other items which are on my radar 😉
