Want to do some eco-conscious online shopping and get a GRZA discount? Here are some of the ecopreneurs that I support and I’ve arranged a 10% GRZA discount for you. You’re welcome.

What are my lockdown essentials? Apart from lots of greens, of course. Well, let’s start with lavender oil for its calming, soothing effect. Then there’s CBD oil from Cosmic Bazaar. I take the balanced blend to help keep me balanced and Waffles the Wonderdog has his own blend of CBD oil to keep his tail wagging.

In the kitchen there’s our trusty Wonderbag for slow-cooking chickpeas. And the bag lady in me loves shopping for daily essential goods from zero-waste store (online and in Muizenberg) The Daily Goods Store.

I’m trying to ditch cosmetics in plastic from my life and only buying local goodies in glass from now on and RESTOCK Shop has that covered.
