]]>Before she started her new lifestyle, the Sofia-based graphic designer and illustrator realized that the available information could be “truly overwhelming and rather gloomy”. That was the main reason why she took the pen and started drawing.
She explained her researches in a statement for Bored Panda as depressing. “After I would spend some time reading, I would have no willpower to live, let alone take any action whatsoever, she said and added that they wanted to give people fun and positive way to learn and share about the zero waste philosophy, free of shame and guilt.

In 2012, Singer was an Environmental Studies major, when she noticed a fellow classmate would bring his lunch in a single-use plastic bag, a disposable water bottle, and a plastic takeout container. “I would sit there and think: we are supposed to be the future of this planet and here we are with our trash, messing it up,” writes Singer on her personal website.
That was when she started her zero waste journey. To Singer, zero waste means that she does not produce any garbage whatsoever. “No sending anything to landfill, no throwing anything in a trash can, nothing. However, I do recycle and I do compost,” she explains.
Now, she documents her green lifestyle in her cheeky blog, Trash is for Tossers, as well as her Instagram page and a YouTube channel, where she shares her tips and tricks. Scrolling through her social media platforms, her zero waste journey looks almost fun. And according to this NYC guru, her lifestyle is very simple and naturally, cost-effective.
So, will you take on the challenge?
I love using these canvas bags from @packagefreeshop to shop for produce, grains and nuts. They're super helpful in keeping me waste-free and hold so many delicious food items, my fridge and pantry are stocked for days on end. 
Tag me in your grocery shopping pictures and help show just how awesome waste free shopping can look! 
Clockwise starting from top left: my daily facial oil, lip balm in a compostable tube, liquid foundation (only for when I'm on camera!), facial cleansing bar, washable makeup rounds from @packagefreeshop, an old bamboo toothbrush that I use to tame my eyebrows, two different types of highlighters, blush, and a lipstick for when I'm feeling fancy. 
Do you have any questions about my daily routine? Let me know! 
I used to use a bazillion skincare/acne/toning/moisturizing/healing products on my skin before living a Zero Waste lifestyle. Now, I use 2. I use my tea tree charcoal facial bar from @packagefreeshop and a daily face oil. If I wear makeup on my eyes (which I honestly do about 2x/year, I'll use olive oil and these washable organic cotton rounds from @packagefreeshop to remove it.
